big ben 10 Posted August 13, 2009 :wave: as many of you regulars know i have been and brought Marcus' VRT recently (thanks mate!!). Thought i would start this thread now as i have loads of plans for it, not going OTT though... im loving the way it drives :D and i think the ride height is perfect, slightly rubs the splitter on speed humps and i can easily have someone in the back. I have been swapping the interior over, put a standard grill on for now, sorting the sound system out, got some window shields and a bra (only using on long journeys dont wory)... loads more work going on in the next few weeks/months... anyway, pics; how it looks at the minute Corrado92.pdf1 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] rear end passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf7.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] the VRT and lloydys G60 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf2 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] interior climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf9.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] more interior 10.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Looks good! How does a VRT compare to a normal VR then? Btw, do you drive in a sleeping position??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 13, 2009 Does look very nice but I'm with Tom - how the heck do you drive it reclined that far back?! I'm fairly tall and can't have it anywhere like that reclined! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 13, 2009 the day i picked it up, i had spat a scooby out of the exhaust pipe in 5 mins, and then had it at surrey rolling road in 30 mins, with some of you other forum chaps, and had it on a dyno where it got 294bhp... so have booked in to be checked over with dave and graham, as even though it was hot it may of lost a few ponys somewhere... pics; corrados passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf6.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] nice ass climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf5.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] all hooked up 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf4.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] lower that was expected but enough for me at the min thats for sure!! 3.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted August 13, 2009 Looking good mate, glad you're happy with it all. What are your plans for the interior then if you're swapping it over? Edit - Haha! Beat me to it! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 13, 2009 Looks good! How does a VRT compare to a normal VR then? Btw, do you drive in a sleeping position??? well its completly different, MUCH faster, and still dead smooth in traffic etc, just perfect... sounds completly different, but in a good way. If we are ever at a meet i will let you have a drive and you can see for yourself :wink: and i suppose it looks really far back, but i havent noticed at all, feels normal believe it or not :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 13, 2009 Looking good mate, glad you're happy with it all. What are your plans for the interior then if you're swapping it over? im over the moon mate, will have to meet up some time and show you what its all about, im sure i will let you have a go if your nice to me :wink: yeah interior is sold already, pretty much out as we speak, a pic of me going back to black this wkend; 8.JPG[/attachment:rgzgqv7p] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think you're doing a good trick with the interior. Nothing wrong with the R32 one, lovely infact, but I personally am not keen on light coloured leather.... just asking to get marked. Can't wait to see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 13, 2009 yeah it obviously had 3 door speakers which i really didnt like, leather parcel shelf which is way too bling and the switchs were on the wrong doors. So putting in my interior from the old VR, i do like the R32 seats they are comfy but it had to be sold as a full package unfortunately, would of liked to retrim them black but oh well.
