Aye A Few...My thinking is replace everything, the car never see's a winter so it shouldn't fail any more MOT's for a long time LOL! -
Mine bit me big style when I took it out! Easiest is to remove the spoiler mech...makes it sooo much easier!

Oh Dear :gag: -
Ahh Man, You should've said you were selling the Valver.........I had an awesome interior lined up for that, plus it was oak green and small bumpers :( :(

Just what I was thinking.......1.8T the thing or why not turbo your G60 lump???? I'm sure Jabba sport do a turbo kit for the G60 using an IHI VF22 turbo that easily ups the power past 300bhp!!! Better than using that expensive boat anchor called a VR6 :lol: :ignore: Or as a few others have mentioned 24V it if you're going to 6 cylinders or even R32 it! My mate has an R32 Turbo wthat has a whisker under 500bhp (once he uprates the gearbox it should safely push 600bhp) and it is stupidly fast...like lambo and porka killing performance!!!! Awesome Awesome Weapon :norty: Seriously though I'd either turbo your G60 or 1.8T it!

Have a drive of Chris's R32 JBS turbo Mk4 :clap: :grin: :cuckoo: :lol: :norty: :notworthy: Fook Me....It is devastatingly quick, pushing just shy of 500bhp, limiting factor is the box! Fook Superchargers...Turbo's all the way mate!!!!
-
Good Stuff!!! Anyone have any pics of the RV6 in the skyrocket???
-
Just get the buyer to sort it! Job Done :) Thats what I did with mine as he couldn't be bothered to pick it up!
-
Tried trolling the search and Nothing..google is useless :( Does anyone have any info/links to the design origins of the VR6 lump??? Somebody mentioned VW pinched it off Mercedes and I've also hears VW nicked from an old V4 lancia design??? Sure I've seen pics of an old sirrocco with a v6 fitted?? Just puzzeled why VW went with a cam chain when everything else is belt driven??? Anyone help?? Cheers Steve

8v Blackberry on PistonHeads. Any one had a look?
rado-steve replied to Steve Storm's topic in General Car Chat
Why such the hang up over service history???? It's only a book for gods sake!! So long as there are reciepts to back up the work done, the cambelt has ben changed recently etc and a general inspection (Buyers guide from here) or if you want to be really thought an AA or RAC inspection.... SH books mean bugger all, I can get you one ready stamped tomorrow if you like??? -

Strange Request......4x100 wheel spacer Engineering Drawing
rado-steve replied to rado-steve's topic in General Car Chat
Yeah need the dimensions basically! I know it's 4x100 PCD and 57.1mm centre bore, but don't know the overall diameter and how far the PCD is set from the centre bore etc! Thought somebody might have one somewhere! Just wants some made so he can get the right thickness without having to buy lots of different ones!!! -
