GLWS it truly is a spectacular machine

HA HA HA brilliant rorgasm!! the motor really is porn to the highest vehicular degree! i recall reading the build thread when the guy in jersey owned it & I was WANT WANT WANT then lol pls excuse me for a few minutes, im off to knock one out to the motorsport gearbox ;)

Thats the same with my NOD AV Jim & too cant recall NOD blocking a site

im at work on a Win 7 PC - when i view the thread page my NOD anti virus shows alerts saying that the URL for the hosting site is a possible threat

welcome! do you find you have enough head room if your big dave? whats it currently like & whats plans have you in mind?

NOD AV is blocking the image hosting site & thus not displaying pictures :(

As EJ mentioned no offence was intended & though we were joking around a request for admins to move it was posted so as to help out - we like new members here & are a friendly & helpful lot :)

there seems to be a trend with schrick or VSR sale threads going very wayward!

Hmmm second thoughts....maybe best left not knowing if its imprinted on your brain easypops lol

damn it! im on here most of the day & i miss the shananigans :( someone PM me with info lol

i saw n3p's several times when it was being turbo'd at stealth, my VR was there at the same time, & the amount of work vince & co put in is staggering!! plus you also need to cost up BIG brakes, wheels to fit said BIG brakes, custom exhaust with no cat (as vince says the standard VR one is far too restrictive when putting a turbo on), & an LSD of some form & that is all depending on how healthy your engine is when it goes in as there are likely to be a host of other parts which need to be renewed at the same time

slugish underfoot is prolly the best description i would say (and extremely quiet without the BMC too lol)

thanks clumpy your a diamond

Why thank you Mr Bacon! they were rather diirty on the day but i like the way you can see the valver's kamei skirts (such a shame someone took off the front skirt before i managed to buy her back) Zesty Red Bull kick sounds interesting, please do tell me more? I have read about changing the final drive but not heard the G60 final drive mentioned (unless they are the same & im confused lol) Your right too about the feeling of lack of responsiveness & urgency underfoot when you drive a stock VR compared to a 263'd & stealth mapped - the power seems so much more readily available throughout the rev range now

It was recommended by vince at stealth Ian. The day after i collected the VR from there for the 1st time the starter let me down & vince sourced the part & fitted it. I cant recall what he said other than they are a nice & punchy starter & reliable. Im sure if you spoke to vince he would tell you the full details

Jim you are a gentleman thank you - a job for the weekend then as it was howling when i was trying to clear the screen this morning

Thanks clumpy & cazza!!! I thought all of the bottom tabs were in the wrong place Brilliant info & handy to see pics. Jim - if it would be ok with you can i please put a potential 'yes please i will have it' on your grill & i will confirm tomorrow once ive double checked i have to replace the one i have?

time for a wee update methinks.... 1st of all a nice pic of my current driveway, its called 3 in a bed :D next are a thank you to dave16v for producing high quality shiny parts once again (which tie in nicely with the polished stainless rebuild kit stealth used during my head rebuild)

i had an 'amount' of white smoke before i had the head on my VR rebuilt but it turned out to be excessive moisture gases from my very old exhaust system when it was cold if you can post a video of yours with a bit more info im sure people here will be able to offer guidance

Thanks for your post Ian, very reassuring. Was fitting not too difficult? ive a guide & it looks fairly simple

nice tidying work Jim ;)

If you like shiny things it could be a good opportunity to replace manifold bolts etc with polished stainless when stealth did my head rebuild i purchased a polished stainless steel rebuild kit from http://www.liquidmetalrefinement.co.uk/ which tie in nicely with the other polished parts from daves16v :) edit: pics in my build thread in members gallery

I received my new heater blower motor today :) It is much bigger than i was expecting, hopefully fitting it wont be too much trouble If anyone is interested i get a good deal from ebay, linkage below.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-O-E-HEATER-BLOWER-MOTOR-VW-CORRADO-192959101-/321157973200

i think you can with a bit of butchery & some silicone sealant or similar IIRC the difference is that the late grill has 3 tabs on the bottom (1 central & the other 2 equidistant from the centre) whereas an early grill only has 2 tabs which are about 1/3 of the way in from each edge. my valver has a 'modified' late 3 slat grill but im hoping to source the correct early version - however im not keen on paying £75 to heritage for it :(

good advice, especially with a new rad fitted & its pennies really
