    vr midrange?

    mint, you will be very pleased with it. :D
  2. That's a Rieger GTO kit, not Zender. It looks a bit too '80s to me, although I think the kit suits the mk2 Scirocco well.

    The 6 speed kit is £1366 +VAT and fitting. that's for a new 3rd-6th gear set. if I were to have it done again I'd pay the extra money for the semi straight 1st and 2nd too becasue I love the touring car style whine that the other gears make.

    The speedo drive ring it attached to the outer diff casing. so it spins at the smae speed as the wheels. so, no, you don't need to chage the speedo head. new final drives are £200 from VAG, more if you want a VW Motorsport spec one. an AGC passat box has a 3.94 final drive, but beware, as pre 1990 ones have the early 020 style rivets and the bolt holes are too small for the 02A diff bolt kit (£70). be aware that if you're running a 3.94 and only 15" wheels then yo may need the TDI 5th gear, 0.71 or 0.72 I think otherwise motorway crousing will be a hig revving nightmare. I've got a 0.75:1 6th gear in mine, it's jsut a tiny bit taller than the stick VR6 5th, but I'll be running bigger wheels than standard anyway, which is why I went for reallt short gearing. on 15"s is mentally short! but make SUCH a big difference. All you corrado VR6 owners should go drive a gofl VR6 to see how horrible the longer final drive is fr an idea of the difference this mod makes. Stealth built up my box, and I don't have any bother with it at all. I used Redline MT-90 synthetic oil in it too. Oh, there's a 4.2:1 final drive availabe too if you're feeling a bit mad! :twisted:
  6. It's probably down to your cam and exhaust. It's so efficient at drawing in the charge that it's pulling (or blowing) it right through into your exhaust. My mates mk2 8v crossflow trbo pops and spits flames all the time.
  7. Who on earth drives at 1200rpm!?!?
  8. I've got a mate who lives in Buffalo who's got 3 SLC's! so there must be a few around Texas.
  9. Just get a decent diff and forget about the TC. I certainly won't be fitting it when I fit my VR lump (the ickle 8v doesn't come with it)
  10. Any pics? some of those lights are really nasty quality. What about the red/smoked ones?
  11. I'll probably take mine off and debadge the rear panel when I put the syncro boot floor in.
  12. Yeah, got loads of stuff for sale! How about a set of 16" steel wheels, only £300??

    VR6 Problems

    I've got a couple of spare MAF's if anyone needs one? all early ones with the long 5 pin connector.
  14. Not really, ust thought I'd join in seeing as peoepl are asking stupid money for sh1t stuff these days. £650 for 928 rims!! LOL!! I could have bought them for £10 each last year, 48 of the f*ckers!! just missed out on them.

    the old time was with the horrid 3.3:1 golf vr gearbox. the 3.6:1 corrado one is ok, but the 3.94 is perfect. even better with the 6 speed! if you'r not planning on forced induction then go for it, it'll make more difference that a £1000's worth of engine mods. Like I keep telling people, the VR doesn't suffer from lack of power. It suffers from lack of low down grunt, throttle response and grip. All of which can be sorted. 200BHP is enough for a FWD car, more than enough if you have an open diff.
  16. Yet another unsatisfied Jabba customer......
  17. Mines chrome, i think it looks sh1t!!
  18. The dash is bolted through the bulkhead in 2 places. pop the bonnet and remove the scuttle cover, rear under there and you'll find the 2 nuts. I know what you mean about the smug grin too!

    That was another car, that was my orange mk2 with a poxy 5 speed 2.8 gearbox, which I blew up! Have a look on York dragways website for my times on the black car, reg #G93 BDC. I'll post up the timing slip if you don't believe me.
  20. My headlights are seriously out of alignment. I just can't be ar5ed to alter them! my night vision is so bad I drive with the fogs on all the time anyway.
  21. Leon Cupra R discs are bigger than 305mm. you need 17" wheels for those.
