  1. Great read, liking what you've done I'm trying to decide if I want to remove the quater windows or not when i spray it (but that probably wont be till next year)
  2. andyout on club gti does the immo removal cheap For rev counter, I ftted the later digital cluster, rev counter works of the ECU, just needs the vss and a couple of other mods for indicators and temp gauge, There a write up on vortex
  3. You have to love some of these so-called alarm installers I found 2 alarms and an immobiliser in mine when I removed that panel, none of which worked
  4. Looks good, whats its current spec?
  5. Tornado red with a 4 pot all the way... Although I have had to fit a late bonnet for the 1.8T
  6. Oh no, falling out of love is never good, It was a few years back but I seem to remember having a beer with John after a trip to the Lotus factory (pre grey VR)
  7. I'd love to know where my old G60 is, I checked and its still taxed
  8. No, whats the difference between an early and a reiger bonnet, Simon wrote he didn't want to change to a late bonnet as he liked the reiger one
  9. Nice car and a nice collection of wheels
  10. Looks a good car, 2 questions, where are the indicators and whats different about the bonnet? The odvious alternative to fitting a VR would be the 1.8t, easily get 240bhp with a k03s turbo or 270 from a k04 turbo Just wont have the same noise.

    Gearbox mount

    Has anyone run their rado without the side support bar/bracket that goes from the 2 bolts on the end of the box to the rear mount. Just thinking it would tidy it up a bit to leave it off but not really sure if it would cause any damage This will be on my 1.8t at about 220/230bhp and gonna be running a solid front mount.

    engine swap

    Remove the plug leads one at a time, if the engine stallsor runs even rougher then replace it and remove the next. One of the leads wont make a difference when removed, that is your start point as this is the cylinder with problems, then check if there is a spark, if there is a spark then check for fuel, if you have fuel then check the compression, one of these will be missing.
  13. Theres a guy on club gti named Andyout who did mine for something like 60-70 quid
  14. Have a read here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3078876-The-unofficial-Cluster-Swap-thread&highlight=early+late+cluster All will become clear, you need a couple of wiring mods for the indicators, a speed sensorfrom the gearbox and a wiring change so the water temp warning light works properly
  15. They look like fiat coupe brembo's, be interesting to see how you fit them, I looked at some of those but couldn't get them to fit the hub
  16. Its not really a case of what offset, ET would be illigal, the offset is taken from the center of the wheel so a 9" rim with an ET30 would stick out 12.5mm further than an 8" ET30 but stick out the same as an 8" ET18.
  17. Nice reserection of the thread, I'll be watching your progress with interest. Great work so far

  19. Hi, How many turns does the speedo drive do for 1 revolution of the diff/driveshaft. I've just bought an 02s that doesn't have the speedo drive and I'm thinking of converting to speedo from the abs
  20. I used to be a member of CCGB many years ago and had a good time at club stands and even went on a visit to the Lotus factory with them, but hadn't rejoined as I dont think my current rado isnt up to good enough standards for showing at club stands etc. Have now decided to to join again anyway and in conversation with cazza to renew my old member number if one of us can find what it was.
