dukest 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Made a new pipe up between the PCV and inlet trunking from 2 45 degree 1 inch inside diameter silicone hoses this weekend. Not 100% happy with it, think I might buy 2 90 degree 15/16th hoses and try again. Didn't start any of the other work, not recieved some parts yet, and I've been pretty knackered from work this weekend. Tom, i've got a brand new pcv hose if you want..?

Toad 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Cleaned injectors fitted and new plugs. Seems to idle lots better. Still only 30mpg though :( Was given some pics of it from when I first took it out to play in 2007. :) Thanks to Nikki and Gav :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted October 26, 2009 When was that pic taken? I don't think I've ever seen you with such little facial hair before! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted October 26, 2009 When was that pic taken? I don't think I've ever seen you with such little facial hair before! :lol: Brands Hatch meet, September 2007 or so. The VR attended two meets, Brands, and E38 I think. I'm relatively hairless at the moment. Well, a few mm across the face. I seem to be getting thicker fur over the rest of me though. You about at the weekend Joe? Might be available for a cuddle..... On no Tom, its still got that thing on the back.... :) :D It's awesome. The other day I reversed up too close to a post. Completely missed it with the tow ball and slammed the bumper into it.... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted October 26, 2009 Weird seeing the VR pre-fettling Tom.. you look a bit different in the pics as well mate. You've lost some weight since then! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted October 27, 2009 It is. The paintwork is so much better, the silver speedies look good on it, and it seems like a lifetime ago. I'm not sure what I weighed then, I think I'm getting denser though as I'm sure I wasn't *that* heavy despite the massive multi-multi chins. Lost 3 stone since Christmas through pleurisy, having my soul crushed, and then some determination to make myself look better, although I put a few pounds on in the last month again.

You about at the weekend Joe? Might be available for a cuddle..... I remember seeing it at E38. That was the day before I went on holiday to Italy that year. I'm about Sunday mate. You up in this neck of the woods this weekend then? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted October 31, 2009 Good to see you and Mic today. 8) Loving the VR mate! Thought it drove a treat. You've made me pine after my G60 even more. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Took the VR to the rolling road day at Stealth the other day. I am a little disappointed with the figures, but it feels like it pulls hard, and I guess that's all that matters. :shrug: Headline figures were: 192.9 BHP @ 6077 rpm @ the flywheel 149.9 BHP @ the wheels 182.5 lbft @ 4464 rpm. climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfDrawing 1.pdf[/attachment:3cdks0dw] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDrawing 2.pdf[/attachment:3cdks0dw] In the mean time I've bought myself some early christmas presents. 12122009158.jpg[/attachment:3cdks0dw] I've been slowly building up more tools over the last year, and wanted somewhere for them to live :) In related news, I'll be moving to a new house with a large drive and garage in February. Anyone want a room to rent just outside Winchester? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
