  1. 44, had my vr for 10.5 yrs & owned a nugget g60 for 2 yrs prior.I did wonder a while ago what the average age of owners was & it seems to be higher than i expected.
  2. Are the 288 brakes as fitted on Mk4 Golf gti's Andy ?
  3. This was the same problem i was having but didnt explain it very well.Managed to sort it though by reducing the resolution of pictures taken on the phone settings to 2 MP.My phone is an Experia Ray.Pictures need to be below 1 MB
  4. Well,after owning my vr for over 10 yrs now,being a CCGB member for most of that time & a forum member 4 yrs thought it time to create a members build thread! Been looking at some others & impressed at the level of commitment & work that has gone in to so many cars on here.Havnt got to many events or shows until the last year or two ,when ive got to know a few guys from the south & south west & they are a pretty decent bunch. Some of you will know my car as it was voted 1st at National Day show & shine this year & runner up in 2011. I have already carried out a considerable amount of work to car My car: well its its a black 94 vr6 LA9v paint code.The 17inBBS rx11's were bought new & fitted soon after i purchased car & i still love them.The car remained fairly unchanged until about 3-4 year ago when i decided the car needed a facelift & as i still enjoyed owning it as much as ever decided it would be worth the expense & work.It had some paint work carried out & then i had to rectify a smokey engine.I removed it to allow a re-bore & full re-build .Since then other improvements have included KWv1's,Milltek exhaust & front & rear suspension over-haul.I have just fitted a BMC cda filter to compliment Schimmel cams which are on there way soon via the group buy.It was already giving 201bhp prior to filter so with cams & a re-map im looking forward to the results ! Other future improvements may be a brake up-grade but pretty happy just enjoying it as it is right now & getting along to events & shows,would like to get to some shows up north some time.Ok,a few pics & will keep you updated on cams arrival & fitment. Daren.
  5. I would be up for that,im near Portsmouth & it would be good to meet up with some guys without the 2+ hrs driving i have been doing so far this year.
  6. I am currently unable to upload pics from my phone to a post.Normally not had a problem doing this ,without having to re-size or anything.Now when i press 'upload' display says 'unable to display web page' ?!!?.Anyone have any ideas ? My phone has jpg file extension

    In my opinion John is justified in asking price due to the extreme high standard of mods carried out,its a unique car & a credit to Johns skills & ability.The problem with owning that car is that everyone will know it as 'John Mitchells car'
  8. Had a nice day at Combe,despite wet weather the turnout was really good.Some really nice cars in show n shine & track cars.Nice to catch up with the guys & check out Matts awesome 4wd turbo.Weather improved pm & Ben & i had an interesting chat with a guy trying to sell us an AudiA8 w12 for 9 grand! Incredible car for the money.Took a few pics -cant seem to upload them right now
  9. Just watched todays stage MILLAR! MILLAR! MILLAR!
  10. couple of hours to remove g'box.lot longer to remove engine ,box out makes more sense to me.
  11. Im still aiming to meet at 9 at Wetherspoons,see you then. Daren
  12. Just be a bit brutal with a lever bar & hook wishbone out.They are only thin metal & will come out with a bit of effort.
  13. Forget football,tennis,even motor racing.For me its the most compelling ,interesting ,exciting sport there is !
  14. Haven't met any famous riders but Rob Hayles comes from Horndean,same as me !
  15. Anyone else enjoying 'le Tour' at the mo.Bradley Wiggins & Chris Froome brilliant today. Imagine if Brad wins,proud to be a Brit right now !
  16. Seem's good so far thanks.Did you switch it off then on again !
  17. Im ok to meet at 9ish if you could suggest where, Ok to pay you on the day? & im tempted to have a go on the circuit,do you know if i can decide on the day?
  18. When you say 'uprated bits' do you mean gaskets & head bolts etc,if so oem would be fine or Victor Reinz from GSF.If its using lots of oil be sure to check cylinder bores for wear.You wouldnt want to do all that work on head & still have oil burning probs.Are you still ok for Castle Combe ?
  19. Arrived this afternoon thanks Karl,sorry to see the damage to your 330
  20. My wife always says i've got Corrados on the brain !

    Could give you some interesting options on colour & patterns though!
  22. The group buy of cams date has expired & they are on there way(sort of).Would have thought to re-map ecu would be ideal with car present but to find out for sure contact Vince @Stealthracing
  23. 26.2.94 Mariah Carey-without you,could have been worse! week later was Doop-Doop
