Angel eyes look crap - official - actually not too bad now
jedi-knight83 replied to pablo_vr6's topic in Exterior
i think they look ok actually.. excuse my dumbness but is that all the lights (on the side fitted with angels) or are they just side lights? or dipped? do they give out more light than standard? -
£4600...thats what i paid...not much money for one hell of a car. good luck in the search

is it in a road car? (just getting confused by your avatar pic) what brand aswell? cheers
-
heaviest engine...smallest mount????? why? :scratch:
-
now that would be cool, all the storms remaining in the uk all at one meet!!

by the sounds of it pleanty of other people are using 15/50 so i think it will be ok..thanks for the concern though. can you get 10w50 then?? that would be a good compramise...thinner when cold, thick when warm
-
nah he got a new from from VW via me. you know how easy they are to change then?
-
surely with the airbox and pulley tensioner all take off it will just come out that side?
-
ha...very funny....dont take the piss though :lol:
-
:lol: yes i am paranoid..sorry. although when you drove it that time..it was being very quiet...its often noisier! im gonna try some 15w50 this time....just not sure what brand or anything.

dad can get Carlube oil (any good?? i know its not brand name stuff but hey..) 15w50 for £20 for 5 litres...you can get 1 litre bottle aswell but not sure about the price. how do you mean?? you mean i want thinner oil over winter and thicker in summer?
-
just thought i'd give you a sneaky peek at my lights aswell.. all rubbed down with 600 grade wet and dry and all masked up ready for painting. there actually sprayed now but still need a bit of work before i lacquer them.. anyway here they are...they'll be all done and fitted by the time i get the car back from the body shop next wednesday
-
actually there isnt much more cut away than kevs and he has the VT mount ?? different engines just sit slightly different i guess? oh and its all getting painted on monday anyway so the bonnet will get done then...onlty a week..that wont cause any damage will it?
-
quick question... i currently have synta silver 10w40 and its too noisey for my liking....im thinking a thicker oil may help quieten things down......but could a thicker oil lead to higher oil temps or am i talking absolute ballacks? out of interest my dad looking in one of his many car parts / guide books (he works for a motor factors) and the oil listed for any vr6 engine is 15w40 or 15w50..
