PhatVR6

that's a bit of a bummer. it's virtually impossible to remove the box on a syncro without taking the engine out. TIP, unbolt the tranfser box and leave that and the engine in the car connected to the prop. Aslo, what fuel pump ar you using? I had the same problem with mine, it just started pinking at 5000rpm, the ecu was pulling the timing right back, which is why it peaked at 5800rpm then fell flat on it's face. At the time I too blamed it on poor unleaded (non super) but I'm not thinking it may have been the 4 motion fuel pump not up to the job.

I can get them for $725 shipped.

yeah, those Black BBS' used to me mine too remember! PS, just put the 3rd set of wheels on the mk4 in as many months! (it's had 3 engines too!)

I may be many things, but ignorant is one thing I'm certainly not. nor am i a snob.

they are used in oval racing apparently, probabyl at rockingham or somewhere like that. it is actually moulded off a corrado bodyshell, they just have no corrado parts at all! even those rear lights are just stickers!!

I think the words in brackets for the image name describe her breasts perfectly!

well, not really Corrado's...but they look like it!

I'm not too far away, just east of york.

no you don't. 288's go straight on.

strange how so many people are so keen to slag off this car just because the styling isn't up to their tastes, yet chastises everyone else for making even the slightest negative comment about the so called "best" cars out there. shame on you. as gibber, points out, it was done a long time ago, so maybe it isn't so up to date, but I still like some of it. it's the enthusiam and tuning behind it that does it for me though, and the fact that the owner hasn't been scared to try just about everything available, and when it isn't available, then he's made it himself. i remeber seeing this car at VW action WAY back when I had my mk2 vr6 and couldn't even afford a corrado VR6, i used to see it at all the shows back then, back when my mk2 was just an 8v on a set of 17" rims. in those days no one would even dare modify a corrado, and nothing was availble stlying wise. you can be a right pack of ignorant snobs sometimes you know. give the guy some credit. also gibber, thanks for bothering to stop when I broke down on the A1 on the way home from vw action when my brake discs shattered. you were one of only 2 cars that stopped out of countless hundreds who drove past. This car is going places.....you will all be eating your words later this year believe me,....

not if your mate works there they aren't ;-)

Mk3 golf VR6's and GTis ahve the same as VR6's Mk2 Golf GTI's have the same as corrado's that have 4 stud fitment. although I believe corrado g60 items may be stronger.

I'm well proud of those, how good do they look!!! I went to put them back in the other day, can't find any of the bolts!!

believe me, you will struggle to break traction, and it will be fun!

phew!! what does it drive like?

that's what I was thinking. hell, that's almost as bad as a once well respected vr tuner taking castings of vortech chargers and schrick manifolds, having them cast for pennies in the thrid world them selling them off as genuine items to unsuspecting customers.....who then had loads of prblems with them, but got no supprot off vortech as the serials numbers were all made up! allegedly.... so I once heard..... (from a reliable source might I add) no names mentioned

the gaskets/washers and bolts that you can see in the pics!!! well, you can't see the washers, but they are those long things with the holes in each end that go between 2 bolts.

right, update The original dealer I spoke to has let me down and not got back to me. But, at Autosport today I was speaking to the main sales uy, and he's very interested. He's going to put me in touch with their top distibutor to handle the orders. He said he should be able to get the price under £100 for a good red top big enough for a VR6. so I'll get some more info off him this week and hopefully get this off the ground at last. he was also interested to know who the dealers were who ignored me.....

how can they be contradictions if 2 different people have said them...... you don't have to lower the fornt mount at all, only if you want to fit the big plastic engine cover, which you don't need to fit. I didn't use the factory oil cooler, hence why I didn't have to modify my mount. not contradictions at all. and if you're going to be a cock about it, then i'm not going to help you anymore! so go and bollocks.

8psi?? that's a bit feeble isn't it? I thought you had a bog turbo on this? you should be pulling a bar at least?

aye, could be that too. probably that actually, judging by the amount of flames.

i think that was a launch control system.....

well, like I said to you last year when you started planning this, don't buy a kit, buy a turbo and make the rest. a kit will be a fortune and you won't use hardly any of it.

awesome, I've wanted a vr6 turbo for years, I will have one one day. Lee, what kit will you be going for?

Makes me laugh that this is meant to be a definitive 24v thread.....and it has more questions than answers. Actually, that's a lie a lot of the stuff has already been worked out and answered, then questioned yet again... I putmy first 3.2 in on the driveway in a day. the hardest part is the wiring and the downpipe. physically fitting it is no harder than putting a VR6, in.
