Is it possible to get Hella ones? I would say they are or would be close to Original Equipment? I need one too :)

Hi Jared I'm also an OEM+ man... I've kept the 12v engine and have added a few nice bits which I'm hoping will just liven it up a little. I've completely rebuilt the engine, re-bored/new pistons, fully balanced, ported cylinder head with matched inlet and exhaust manifold, Shimmel 263 cams and a Schrick manifold. all built with genuine or as close as you can still get parts. Unfortunately the project has stalled due to an unscheduled house move :(
-
Yeah would be nice, unfortunately I don't have the financial clout to buy a yacht :/

Happy Birthday! ;) well for yesterday! :D Must almost be time for your cars birthday treat of road tax? - what a summer to be driving a nice car around!

I have a pedal box for a VR, but the clutch spring is missing.
-
Ahhh top stuff Hasan! - I was looking everywhere for that thread! thats what you need to do pfnsht.

Its the chrome hammer! dont force it... Its not easy to explain.. but the hammer is dropping into a small cutout in the frame.. the rubber band on the end of the hammer has probably gone flat and is allowing it to drop too low. To stop it completely cut a small slither of plastic about 8 - 10mm long about the width of a tie wrap and super glue it directly under the hole... this stops the wheel on the hammer dropping to low and sticking... and you will never know its there.

That'll do it... ;)

To fit it in a non 6 speed MK4 all you need is the Driveshafts, clutch/flywheel and the shifter linkage and you're good to go... a nut and bolt exercise.. Its an O2m box from memory https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leon-Cupra-R-Gearbox-02M-6-Speed-2004/202355700392?hash=item2f1d56f2a8:g:m0MAAOSw4gxbLjM8

20v Turbo - AUQ 180Bhp engine for example fitted to the Anniversary MK4 GTI

Yeah have heard that the 3.68 diff makes cruising pretty uncomfortable... I've kept mine stock for that reason... I'm getting old! I did ask about lightened flywheels at Stealth and Vince said there was a good reason VW stuck that great lump of iron on the end and was best to leave it. Often wondered why no one has stuck a MK4 6 speed box in? - like the 180HP 20v item? - I know it goes in a MK2 G60 as I've seen it in.
-
Hope not as mine is now 2931cc up from the 2861 of the stock motor - when I stripped mine down I found the wear which was very minimal was on pots 2 & 4 :| just a little bit too much for a hone to completely remove so I decided to bore.... 83mm over the standard 82mm
-
I'd definitely get it mapped - if only for the reassurance its running at its full potential... never been a fan of generic mapping as every engine is different. Gesss I cant wait till I'm at this stage... just got a house to renovate prior to getting back on the Corrado :(
-
Gesssss that definitely wasn't worth the hangover :( Would of been better off flipping a coin at half time it was that dull.... was a nice goal from Belgium thou..

Sounds like the alternator is being hit, alternators under load require more HP to run them, I learnt this when I did a small stint at the WRC, they wind the alternator right down when the car is in stage mode so as not to suck HP. I usually buy a diesel cranking power battery and as higher amp alternator as I can, I went for the 120amp alternator, but yet to run it of course on the VR6 but have done this on other builds ;)

It was metaphorically speaking to encompass the tosh that appears on FB - but I have seen that along with other "look at me" type posts, which I grew tired of.

High 5!

Price your roughly after and pictures would be helpful... colour, trim etc I think the cost of the ferry with a trailer will be the killer as I seem to recall its done on vehicle size?
-
Welcome! Yep there are some good people on here, you wont be stuck for long if you hit problems ;)
-
Ahhh no afraid not - I like the OEM+ but Turbo charging would be a bit too much for me.... my engine is modded but all internal except a Shrick VGI. This car looks like mine as it has no engine and all the front end is missing ;)
-
Si you are 'The Don' when it comes to part numbers! - really helpful as I'm looking for so many bits as well - thank you ;)
-
Looks fantastic! - loving the colour ;)
-
Depends if they turn up... could go ether way, remember this is England!
-
Nice project! - look like the same sate as my car! LOL! :D

Another Hella vote, yet to fit it but looks good quality.
