Few at bugjam on Sunday [ATTACH]75107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]75108[/ATTACH] Was also a red vr6 leaving as I was was walking out..

Received Monday, perfectly packed and delivered quickly Thanks alot jim :)

I doubt it dude. Our ferrys at 4:20 am so will be leaving around 1!! All my mates are going to harwich for the 9:00am ferry so keep an eye out for them. Grey Mk2 scirocco, silver mk4 tdi with purple bbs and a dragon green mk3 VR :)

Looking good mate. Is it finished now then? :) Ben

Proper exited for this :D Anyone else going Dover to Calais? We're going stupidly early on Saturday morning so probably won't see any other cars:(

Cheers jim. Yea ill take it posted please :) I would've picked it up but don't really trust my cable ties that far lol Pm me payment deets and ill sort it asap :) Cheers

Ok mate. Is the black plastic bit still strong?

Cheers jim. How much you after posted/ where abouts in Essex are you?

Hi guys. I need a throttle body for a vr6 after the little black plastic bit that holds the end of the throttle cable broke! StueyB kindly dropped a spare one he had from a golf but it's missing the throttle sensor, I tried swapping mine but they're different! Also I was thinking I could just swap the part that broke but it's moulded around the metal :( Looking for one from a Corrado vr6 in good condition please Anyone got one spare? Cheers Ben

Cheers stu ill check the matrix pipes later on. It was on the cyl head end where it's split but the other end wasn't that great condition! I've been meaning to email samco to see if they can sort it out for me. I've been told by someone at samco that this shouldn't happen to their hoses so they'll try sort it!! One good thing instagram's for :D

Big thanks to rob (robo22sri) for the nearly new wheels and tyres :D I would've stayed longer to chat but my mate wanted to get home! New tyres also sorted for the estorils! Purchased some European breakdown cover for the upcoming MIVW trip :) Can't wait !!!!!

Cars lookin lush dude Bloody love those 3sdm's!!

Lucky b^stard!! Do those kits just 'bolt straight on' then? How many English monies is that ??

Brand new in wrapping, VR6 rear gearbox mount. GSF brand(can't remember which) but quality is still good. I'm after £20 posted Cheers Be

Hi roger. Welcome :) Car looks soo much better on those bbs's! Your only down the road from me so may be bugging you for detailing tips ;) Also if you need a hand with anything mechanical, I'd be happy to help :) Ben

Yeah I know what you mean jim, I get a faint smell too. That could be because it had a tiny leak but even after changing the hose I still smell it! Think I'm going to take the advise of mr E.j. Tailor and go for the Venair hoses in the near future. They look just as nice and are a better construction, also cheaper! Heard good things about roose Motorsport hoses from stonejag aswell so ill look into that aswell but it's whatever's cheaper for me really..

It had the original spring clip on it! It's in two pieces in the photo cus I ripped it off. The flappy bits where it split. How much do they charge for these jubilees then? ---------- Post added at 8:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 8:25 AM ---------- Nice one rob. Yes please!!

I had a bit of a bad time yesterday involving another sh!tty samco hose! I pulled up at some tyre place in bletchley (as absolutely no one around Bedford had any 205/50s !! Getting rare aparently!!), walked over to talk to the guy and.. BANG!! Smoke/steam was pluming out from under the bonnet and water was pi22ing everywhere! The coolant pipe that goes from heater matrix to cyl head and throttle housing had totally given up. I did have a pin hole leak on the pipe but it blew out the other end! [ATTACH]74887[/ATTACH] Anyway, thank feck my local T.P.S was about 5 minutes down the road! Took a stroll down there and spoke to the guy. He said I'd be lucky if the car actually came up on the system! But it did :) . Found the part on etka and put it into the stock system thing and was showing 1 left !!! So I walked out with what he said was "the last or one of the last ones in the uk".... Sweeeeeeet!! Walked back, fitted it and jogged on home :)

What's uuuuup :) Welcome

Cheers stu Where you been hiding recently? Lol I think the next job is a front and rear subframe refurb! Aswell as having a look at the steering rack. I want some all red rears aswell :)

So I finally got round to sorting out the crank seal leak!! Managed to borrow half a unit to keep the car while work was done, which turned out really handy as it rained non stop for a few days! I used the timing chain wiki off of here to do most of the work! Made it really quite an easy job apart from removing/refitting of gearbox! The crank pulley didnt have the timing mark on it which slowed me down a bit but with a bit of advice from you guys I got it sorted :) The chain and tensioner replacement went really smoothly and timed up perfectly! I've still got a tiny spot of oil dripping from somewhere which I need to look into but apart from that its been absolutely spot on for the last week! So it's all ready for MIVW in August! I ****ed up on the ferry by leaving it too late so I'm going the long way round via Calais now instead of harwich-holland. I hope I make it there and back!!! Here's a few pics [ATTACH]74859[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]74860[/ATTACH] Worn out clutch [ATTACH]74861[/ATTACH] Upper tensioner wear compared to normal... Ben

Just spotted a black corrado heading into steppingley, Bedfordshire. Looked nice and clean. Didnt catch the flavour but looked VR6ish :) Ben

My dads just dug out a picture he took in Aldermaston back in 2010 [ATTACH]74764[/ATTACH] Anyone on here now? Ben

Yeah was a great day, really enjoyed myself :) Hahaha stone!!! That was a pretty 'one off' experience!! Drifting in an auto!! So when's the next one? My cars fixed now :) Ben

Ill most probably go to this. Ben
