Vince - the kit looks very good and I'm impressed with your info and approach. Would adding the kit to a MkII Golf Vr6 conversion be any trickier? It's not my own work so I can' tell you the exact details of the conversion... it was a TSR job (sorry.... :eek: before I owned it...)

Aberdeen is a little far.... But cheers this all helps, and err, see what you mean about the vr6's, found one going for 6.5k today... :?

I'm sure many of us know most of these already, but insurance wise... If you're thinking TPFT (Third party fire and theft) try a fully comp quote, you'd be surprised how often the quote comes out cheaper - this has happened to me personally twice, and it surprised even the agent. Obviously ring as many as posiible, but keep a listen for sound guys working at good brokers: They are salesman, they do have ways of playing with their figures, according to their performance, time of the month or year, state of the company etc. Also impart as much information as possible along the lines of "my names not kevin" or "i'm a VW enthusiast not a boy racer" it all helps. Advanced driving test? Alarms and immobilisers: for those companies that do require them, sometimes the cat 1 certificate must be produced - its not enough just to tell them its on there. Discounts for: lower mileages, non smokers, non drinkers... Know how brokers work: Very often their system just searches many different companies for the best terms or quote. Some of these companies you can't directly deal with, they are at lloyds etc etc I don't know the financial world, but ask who the policy will be underwritten by - sometimes it will be someone you can deal with direct - for less. Are there any members who work in the insurance industry that might shed some more light on the details?

Hello sirs, think this is the right place for this one... After much thinking on something a bit different with a sensible price and a decent build quality, vw is the obvious answer, perhaps a corrado. A blokes offered me a '92 2.0 16v with full VAG history and only 70k on it, as u can imagine in very good condition. But whats it worth? He is adamant on no less than 3 grand, but i'm not seeing any of these go for that much, and i've been watching for a while. Even good vr6's don't seem to go for much more than 4k. The g60's are even less, but I guess this is because of the supercharger reliability issue? So is it worth 3k? And if so, how much will i lose if I go and put 20 or 30k miles on it in the next 2-3years? Been stung with shit cars in my younger days, very keen to get this right... Cheers
