    Sony XR5509

    Had one of those Sony's in my Golf GTI - had a big appetite for tape.. ;) don't put your favourite Def Leopard album in there :D
  2. I've already got one new one... the one that was available from Heritage, cant remember what side it was? but I'd be up for the other for sure!
  3. Any reason for removing the VGI and going back to the standard one?
  4. Location, condition and type of interior?

    Abs pump 358614217 :)

    What was the company they used on the episode of Wheeler Dealers to fix a faulty pump? they looked pretty thorough?
  6. Yeah I need to do something with mine, a decision to finish or sell as is ... I don't know where all my time goes these days... well mainly on house renovations unfortunately... I've got a £3+K engine sat waiting to go in a newly painted engine bay, powder-coated sub-frame and recon gearbox, 312 brakes all new, BBS wheels, Koni shocks, bushes, bearings everything is new!... its purely time I dont have :(
  7. Last weekend - Haddenham, saw the Blue VR from close to the Rising Sun pub... not that I frequent the pub ;) and also another Corrado on the same weekend on road to Haddenham from Aylesbury... I was in the Black Scirroco R looking surprised to see two Corrados in one day! :D

    VR6 Enigne loom

    You can still buy them new from Heritage - Bought one for mine about £90 from memory
  9. Lifted the cover - looked at it and thought 'I need more time in life' :/
  10. Couldn't give me a quote as my insurance isn't due till the end of October... asked for a rough idea of cost as I like to get things sorted but again not possible... Strangely managed to get quotes from all the online places thou. LOL! they could of missed out there ;)
  11. Do you insure newer vehicles or just classics? I'm looking to re-insure my Scirocco R very soon and I'm not impressed with my current providers endless list hidden costs every time I pick the phone up to them.
  12. Almost 100% sure it was Glyco OEM as I remember going through all this when I built my bottom end - mine has Glyco bearings and bolts, all from Germany. ;)
  13. Shame the info and threads couldn't of been merged here as a sub-forum even if they were made read-only - they did a similar thing when XBMC for the Original Xbox was discontinued and became Kodi.
  14. Also restricting the fall of the hammer that I pointed out in my sunroof adventure ;) - its the reason the sunroof slider snaps, eliminate that and the sunroof shouldn't fail.
  15. call me mad.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-TR8/273901691282?hash=item3fc5d02192:g:n8cAAOSw0ohdD5Ve But I was always a big fan of the Grinnal V8 cars.
  16. Yes I seem to remember stainless on the engine is a 'no no' from my motor trade days - I seem to remember it was something to do with the way they handle vibration as well?

    Indicator wanted

    Message Chris - "Lilfuzzer" on here, always helpful if he hasn't got one he will probably know the whereabouts of one.
  18. cant wait to one day finish mine... all those goodies are sat in this... cams, gas flowed head, MLS, high compression wiseco pistons, over-bored, ported manifolds all matched, shrick manifold and new everything... all I need is the most precious thing.... time! :(
  19. This! I've had a few MK2's - put 1.9 and 2.0 blocks in them.. heads,valve, cams etc they absolutely fly - my favourite was the 1900, a squarer engine, loved reving.. all setup brake and suspension wise - absolutely no problem hanging with MK3 VR's ;)
  20. Ahhhh I was looking at the plastic fan in the pictures...
  21. Think if I had the engine at that stage I'd be tempted to do a set of big end shells at least ;)
  22. Might head to Stanford - got the kids so any further isn't really possible. Seem odd that CCGB have chosen Donnington Historic Festival to show off their wares over a VW show... as much as I like a car show that looks a bit too E-Type Jag and MG for me.
