There's tons of local Yorkshire ones mate, Bradford and district VAG club, I'm a member of Bradford based VAG Squadron, my local club I'm in is Just dubs uk, and there's Leeds Dub Nuts too. They have meets too buddy, VAG Squadron is usually middle of the month on a Monday, there's 3rd Sunday of every month at 1pm which is Just dubs uk meet, 1st Sunday of the month is Leeds Dub Nuts meet - just thought too, west Yorkshire dubs have a meet in Ossett 2nd Wednesday of the month too. Novak does all sorts mate, if you ring him and ask him, he'll do basically anything - got my MK2 MOT'd there etc. Or there's OCDD. I'll PM you contact info dude

He does it in his spare time pal, he's breaking 2 Audi's and he drives a proper mint s3. I can help you with a guy who does body work etc too, I know a few people who do all that stuff, and I know a guy who's got his own paint shop (he's spraying my MK2 for £500 - full windows out job the lot). I'll speak with him and ask him what he's doing with that other engine, if he's got time etc I can pass you his number to see when is good. Not sure how much he'll charge for that motor though.. I know the guy who owns OCDD garage in Leeds, and the guy who owns Novaks Kustom Industries. You in any clubs or owt mate?
-
Yeah it's good to know people!! I can pass you his number? He's in Bradford though. He's got an s3 engine he's taken out of his old car, running 240ish bhp... I'm getting the 150 remapped, running 197 currently until I hybrid it and swap a few bits out to get 240 :)
-
Well luckily I know a few people etc etc so I'm having the Audi A3 engine supplied and fitted for 900 :) proper good deal. Only issue I got is my bonnet cable snapped other day as well... fml lol!! He's gonna fix that for me, as I managed to get a new one :)
-
I know mate, I was gonna get rid of it, but moved the schedule up as it was blowing really bad haha!! Gonna get it in the shop again Saturday for the engine to be done and then it's all about tidying it all up :) May take a while as I'm doing my MK2 Golf as well ans £££££ is an issue!!
-
Mine had about 5-6 weld patches in it too, urgh... disgusting things haha

For sale are some LHD G60 door cards in good condition. Only need a clean. There is a tiny crack on one but doesn't affect the way they look when fitted. Bought them as I need some for my RHD car and the seller of these (eBay) didn't mention they were from a left hooker :( so they're surplus to my requirements. I'm after £35 for them but will accept offers. Prefer collection from Leeds, but will post, but it'll be around £15ish due to size and fragility. Thanks!!
-
And I cleaned the interior out so it's not as disgusting to be in haha!
-
New wheels, Kercher Carmona's 7.5 fronts and 9 rears, wrapped in nearly new hankook tyres New TA Technics coilovers as I'm on a budget And this came the other day, VR6 carbon kevlar clutch and lightened G60 flywheel for the new engine Got my G60 discs too :)

Right so my photobucket still isn't working but I got the app for my phone and uploaded via that so I can show how busy I been this month!! So firstly I stripped the top end of the motor down to check all the seals/gaskets and replaced the exhaust manifold gasket, got a new exhaust system - fully custom made by Tony Banks in Leeds, gives it a real nice tone, and had the settings done properly at my mates garage for the 16v lump. Still idles like a bugger when cold though :(. Anyway, I tarted up the interior with a good clean and added a period MOMO steering wheel from 1990 - will be for sale soon ;) - and I love the pool ball haha!! I've rewired the sound system fully so added new wiring and got new door speakers in the doors, and also wired in the rears. I bought some door cards to make the interior a lot nicer, however they were for a LHD model... so I'm on the look out for some more ;). This last week has been a bit of a b!tch to be honest. Was forced to mount the curb by an emergency vehicle, as there was nowhere to pull over to let them pass, this caused the bumper mounts to snap on the N/S and burst my tyre, bend the inner track rod arm, and bend the steering rack... It's currently in the shop having them replaced - thought I'd get them to put my G60 brakes on while I'm at it!! Got some new coilies to put on it, new wheels, and it's having a 20VT engine put in this weekend coming. Pics to come!! I'll keep you all posted ;) All back together New exhaust - so much nice to look at as well :) New badges attached too Got some pressed plates as well to neaten overall appearance

Good call with the idle mate, 900-1000 is ideal for a valver. Mine doesn't idle properly so I've had to up it to 1100rpm on idle, drives a treat though. They're pretty slow when accellerating from 1000-3500rpm, but after 3500 they take off and scream! They love being driven. Looks tidy mate, enjoy

Hi all, I'm after a few handbrake parts if possible. I need the tunnel that covers the handbrake assembly, the handbrake assembly itself, and the handbrake tunnel cover trim. With the tunnel I will require the screws too - so if anyone is breaking a C, I'll basically have everything except the cable. Thanks

WANTED: Window Scraper Driver Side. REWARDS AVAILABLE!
DiamondTony replied to EJ Taylor's topic in Wanted
I would like a set of these outer scrapers too if anyone does do a run :) or know anywhere where they can be sourced, not desperate... yet. The ones I have on do half a job, in as much as they are on the car lol ;) -
Tomi, do you have the rear shelf supports? Where the rear speakers go? Previous owner has butchered mine :(

The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...
DiamondTony replied to Jim's topic in General Car Chat
I rewired all my stereo and got all my speakers working. I had to permanent live going to the stereo so the settings couldn't be set :/. It is now linked to the cigarette lighter for the permanent, set up with some £15 Sony speakers bought from the auto jumble at Harewood, and I've temporarily fitted some 280w componant speakers in the rears (Need new parcel shelf supports as they've been messed up by previous owner). Just bought some 6x9s to put in a custom build in the boot. Tomorrow = brake upgrades :) -
Hi all, I'm wanting some black door cards, preferably the black and green type, from the early models. Closer to Leeds the better - or post to me :) Thanks
-
The annoying loose handbrake tunnel cover - a solution!
DiamondTony replied to daves16v's topic in Interior
My handbrake tunnel cover isn't fixed down, and the handbrake lever doesn't seem to be straight any more - seems to bend towards the drivers side - I can't even push it back to centre and get the actual handbrake cover on... Will this little piece of kit bring it all back in line too? -
I'll take it. Pm me your paypal mate and I'll pay you Thursday. I'll send delivery details on pm and as a message om paypal :)

Hi all, my bonnet release cable snapped this morning so I need a new one. Can't find one anywhere except on US amazon and due to silly shipping laws they won't ship to me!! Does anyone have one? New or used I don't care, I just want to get under the hood!! Thanks :)
-
Hi mate have you got a bonnet release cable?? preferably one for a 16v :)
-
Hi mate will these pods fit the early type door cards??

Cool, I've put the rear badge somewhere separate to the VR badge for some silly reason, I can't get a pic on here cos my photobucket won't let me upload :(. PM me your email I'll send you pics to that :)
