jimsG60, jimsG60,

I cracked 453 miles out of my tank from inters to edinburgh at the weekend was siting very steady 80 all the way with one stop. was well pleased after 9 hours driving. :lol:

Raceweight ercos, gotta watch for potholes then eh. Was gonna get myself a set of street weight ones a while back and may still do but need to get the corrado in shape first. Would love a race but firstly i need a new gearbox then i have to bolt on all the bits i have lying around the garage such as ratio rockers, starter motor, dynamo, new exhaust, then need to clear out all the unecessary stuff from the car from some free horsepower and et the engine set up then i may be in with a chance. (anyone got a few grand lying about they dont want) by the way are you running an open stinger on the street. Do you get any probs from the cops. What engine you got just now? Eliot

Black 66, couple of good looking cars you have there :D , what wheels you running on the bug ercos, centerlines, what width are the fronts, or is it a narrowed beam. Also how much have ou lowered the VR by i have just ordered a kit which is 40 mm just wondering if it will sit at a similar height.

Cheers Henny :)

Damn suppose this is in the wrong section, got excited about posting pics of my car.

Try this Also pic of my old golf vr6. 8)

Hold on it has not worked, what is the file size limit

Just thought i would post a couple of pics of my Bug, some folk maybe interested. DEL VR6 asked earlier on to see some.

DEL VR6 i will post pics on a new thread dont wanna clog this one up.

Sorry didnt mean to sound so abrupt, just the way i read the posts people where wanting to know how to make your own as there was mention of plans, didnt read the whole thing daves16v look pretty good, didnt mean anything towards what you where doing.

:? Whats so difficult about making a heat shield. Get down to you local metal place, buy a bit of alloy sheet about 2mm approx 16" x 24" (you had better measure). Then start with a bit of rigid cardboard to make a template and mock it up transfer it to the metal and cut it out. Then get down to you local scrappies and nab the boot seal of an old bmw E30 or similar and put it round the edge of the metal and bobs your uncle. One heat shield for about £20. Do you wanna see pics of mine?

Jenks where in Edinburgh do you stay, what model and colour you got, will keep my eyes peeled for you.

Dont like it meself but gotta admit it looks finished well apart from the colour match of the grill

Oh and think it was naturally asspirated with about 225hp no fancy engine transplants just good old aircooled.
