  1. Yes that's the list! Not that hard to be honest. Accelerator cable is the same, the auto as a plug to it for the transmission computer. You can change it or not. All those parts are somewhat cheap to find. I got most of my conversions off a Passat B3 VR6, pedal cluster, transmission, motor mount brackets. All the clutch related stuff is worth buying new OEM and not that expensive. All the shifter components, while you're at it just do a 02J conversions, better, cheaper, readily available, it's a win-win Interior trim piece = eBay Reverse switch, use a 020 they are cheap and straight bolt on. Cheers!
  2. Yes, they are going to the outer rim which would explain why they would clear a larger brake setup, very nice!
  3. I'm curious to know the ET because my wheels, the schmidt modernline also in 16 7.5 with ET25 I don't clear the DE brakes, I had to shave off the metal plate behind the pads to make them barely fit. So if I had opted for ET35, I would have at least a 10mm spacer. So I'm wondering if it's the design of the schmidts that makes them like this? Because you said your rims were designed to clear a 6 spots caliper.
  4. Very nice! Well looks like you are well taken care of with Vince! And what is the ET on the wheels? That silver golf MK3 is amazing!
  5. Wow wow wow Keyo! I really like the way you are going with this! I don't know how you pulled that off, I'm impressed! I like the wheels, what is the dimensions on those? You guys are so lucky to be in Europe and have access to all of that, I'm jealous! Can't wait to see all of these on your car mate, cheers!
  6. That's going to make a fantastic fan combo mate!
  7. I looked in the past but on ebay.com; the UK ebay has different parts and don't always show up on .com Anyways, thank you really appreciate it!
  8. Thanks so much Keyo! Just ordered two! I'll go check what else they have now! Cheers
  9. Than new fan is very nice Keyo! How did you managed to find that connector? Mine is burned and could not find a replacement anywhere, I bough a used one!
  10. Very interesting information Dox, thanks for sharing. Oneohtwo, we'll see what happens with the paint and yes, I guess there's not much to loose... I'm going to see if I can do a diy polish to mine. Cheers
  11. A pleasure to look at, keep up the good work and keep those nice pictures coming, they will help me once I put my engine together lol. Cheers mate
  12. Can't be the one screw that holds the oil dipstick? Would love to help, I'm not sure either so I'm brainstorming here! I'll have a look at my engine which is out right now, maybe I can see it somewhere...
  13. Well that's it, seems like there's not one straightforward way to do this. I do have OEM axles and I'm replacing the outside & inside joints with Meyle's, OEM knuckle with FAG bearing, quite a mix! My gut feeling says 90Nm, 50Nm seems so low... I don't have an impact so one less option in the equation!
  14. I agree with you, black looks better than shinny, if they were brushed I might consider... Looks good!
  15. So as tight you could do? See that's one thing I have in mind as well, the bearing, hub needs to be sandwiched between the axle bolt and the axle. To me, that needs to be real tight and an impact seems to be the right choice as well... But then why VW got so precise with torque?
  16. That's funny! MGR parts? What do you think of the quality?
  17. I was just reading this old post as I'm about to tight my axle nuts. This: 50Nm + 30 degree (after going to 200Nm and backing off one full turn). If you have original hubs, which are not the "B" version and you are reassembling everything (e.g. after CV boot replacement but still using original hubs), then use the 90Nm + 45 degree setting, plus a locking compound. What do you mates think and do? I'm thinking of doing the 90Nm + 45 but not with locking compound, thinking more of using copper grease. Thoughts? Cheers!
  18. The base on my antenna is all dried up I noticed recently and I guess if I want to change it, I'll have to remove that headliner as well... I've done that once long long time ago on a MK2. Kind of intimidated by this one tough with the sunroof and brittle parts... Since you've just done it and it's fresh in your memory, do you think it would be possible to remove just the C pillar, drop the headliner down enough to have access to it? Cheers mate!
  19. Ya, I think you are it's not the first time I see your painting job! And I totally agree with you... Real estate it's location, location, location and painting it's prep, prep, prep lol Cheers mate
  20. I have to say, you're pretty good at spray painting, good job!
  21. Oh I'm glad if I have been of any help! Always good to share knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. Sounds good for the group buy! Cheers!
  22. Thus is what I went for but not In that color combo, come with a 6 speed coin if you like. The weight is really nice! https://blackforestindustries.com/collections/vw-manual-shift-knobs/products/bfi-heavy-weight-shift-knob-golf-ball-vw-audi-fitment
  23. It definitely seems really nicely/solidly made, you can tell on the pictures. Glad you got them in and it was easy to do for you. Must be relieved! When I totally understand and agree with your point (and I speak of experience) I got my unique idea stolen in the past and it really pissed me off. But in this case, I don't think the demand for a "copy" is to cheap out the inventor but more of an issue with availability. Seems like he's not willing to sell in the UK (for reasons we know) and maybe not everyone like you has access to an address in a different country. That said, offering to lend it resolve the issue and if I was in the UK, I would have just done that. Others may just want to own it too... And in my case, shipping alone to Canada was £40 plus taxes and duty and the part cost and that makes it cost too much unfortunately. Anyways, I don't think I will be doing that again anytime soon but if availability at a reasonable cost was offered, I would consider. Just though I would make the intentions clear! Cheers
  24. This is the integration kit for the 02M 6 speed I was talking about : https://www.fablessmanufacturing.com/products/vr6-02m-complete-mount-kit-vw-mk2-corrado?_pos=2&_sid=c4e491e8d&_ss=r&variant=32690254872673 But it looks nothing like OEM, the 02M is heavy, the axles are like a $1000 for both I think... Not for me but I wouldn't mind what you have 😉. Cheers!
