performance direct £420 fully comp with 17" alloys and one named driver

hello m8 thats about the same as mine ! between 90-96 when driving but goes up to 100-106 when in traffic, i think thats about norm..!

seems to be the best option ,JIMBO its a 9a engine not a abf, have to wair till monday to see if its still for sale cheers again for your advice guys

i replaced my front pads from genuine vw to pagid pads approx 6 months ago and the left front pad has sqeeked ever since ,the only cure seems to be to take the pads out give them a light sanding, that sorts it out but only temporaliy,even tried new calipers and that hasent stoped it,could it be the vented and grooved disks or shit pads :mad:

mine are bosch ive donee the dremmel mod and they are rather hot!!

buy the way the engine i have been offered is out of a 95 m raddo thats done 50k my 1.8 kr has done 78k

thanks for the reply's it gives me a bit to think about .Jimbo-corrado what probs did you hav fitting the 2.0abf block did it just "drop in" or does this need any modding ,any help is welcomed as still a bit undecied? :roll:

your point is what im getting at ,apparently the 9A lump will work on my old kr fueling system ,the 2.0 litre is only 136bhp and the 1.8 litre 139bhp but the 2.0 9A has much more torque than my old kr. and as you have said no C.A.T the 9A runs milder cams because of the cat, thus changing to higher kr cams gives you better figures .

having probs with my head blowing oil,so decieded to take my raddo off the road strip of the head ,get it ported,polished,gasflowed,.But i have been offered a complete 9A engine out of a 2.0 raddo for the same money as i can get my head flowed for?According to other forums on the net this is a much better option? as this will increase power and torque much more than getting my head sorted on my kr engine,apparently if i put the kr cams into the 9A head i should boost power to 160BHPish without any probs,.Has anyone got any views on this MOD>or do you think i would be better with my old block and flowed head. Is there a down side to this.

milage about 90k dont know when charger was last rebuilt have also got ecu, head is of as originaly going to fit new head gasket before installing into car ,charger seems in good condition,open to serious offers :D :D

nuff said

looking good ! so you think its a good investment or not :?:

so whats up with the raceland? iknow you usally get what you pay for but i must admit they do look/sound good

yeah could be mines only done 78k and mostly summer driving,by the way what rear clusters are you using they look sweet

soory to here that m8 mine and afew of the lads have done this and its worked very well .,My wipers actually stick to the glass if there is not enough rain.

hasent anyone tried the dremmel approach/ un bolt your wiper arms and where the spring attaches to the lower section of the arm youll see two pieces of castings like two little lobes, these bottom out when the arm is touching your windshield if you take the arm off and bend it up youll see what i mean there will be a mark on the underside where they touch thus not allowing your wipers to get full pressure against the windscreen.Use a dremmel or a small file and take away about 3mm of the lobes , then replace back on car,takes about 5 mins each side but youll have wipers that work, instead of skimming the glass they actually wipe it clear.done a few raddos with this mod and NO complaints

have got engine but dont know what price to sell it for?g60 plus gearbox plus radiator plus intrcooler and loom only thing wrong is the plug has been cut of the loom .

monthly meet would be great ,but couldn,t you make it a sunday afternoon or something as im sure we do not all live in a few mile radius,be nice to meet you guys thou,

thanks for your prompt reply 8vg60 do you fit them and rr tune aswell, if so would like to now what type of money are we talking, need this doing shortly as gasket is blowing oil,many thanks kevin
