we have a little company called Stealth Racing over here in the UK Vince hacks into the OE ECU & then remaps them on the rollers as the VR requires a live mapping, rather than a static map such as can be uploaded on more modern cars sorry this doesnt help you much over in canada but it may give you a lead to hunt down somewhere over there who could do the same

exhaust will depend on where you are located & budget i have a Longlife stainless on mine, 2.5" from downpipe back with a hiflow cat which was custom fabricated on the vehicle which i absolutely love
-
have a look at VW Heritage IIRC they have reproduced the carpets if not then try VW Classic Parts in Germany or there are several breakers who may have some
-
they are the wheels used on several ferrari's including the F40 π

no m8 im not far from birmingham - i will ask the guy next time i see him for you
-
ha ha ha thanks m8 no pics yet as the sign is currently making my kitchen look pretty but i will post some once it is installed in the workshop - it is going to take up most of the back wall in there & hopefully improve the lighting lol
-
thanks shaun - i will go see what the fitment calculators say about a 225 ive a feeling 225 rears with 205 front will look rather porntastic!!! π
-
thanks cressa am still in a bit of shock at buying the wheels - they were not cheap at all & need centre caps & split pins to complete them, which ive already found repro's on ebay i do need to decide what colour to go for, which is a toughie!! they are going on the blackberry VR6 which currently has black speedlines which i really like & have bright yellow 4 pots on the front - im thinking polished lips but do i go black centre, white centre or a trendy kind of graphite grey ish wheel fitment & tyre choice seems like a dark art lol
-
where abouts are you located? i may be able to source you one if you want me to ask?
-
it is destined for my workshop wall π
-
thanks - ive wanted these for so many years i cant quite believe ive brought some lol good day for VW related things today as this just arrived too & with the LED backlights
-
good thinking dox
-
a small update as today i have purchased a unicorn - one that i have been looking for on & off for 10 years i missed a set on here about 8 years ago but today i made the jump as i swore not to miss out again they need some work but the last things on my desirable list for the VR6 are these & a VDO console 16" Autostrada Modena 3 piece split rims - specifically 16" by 7J ET +41 & 16" by 8J ET +51 so even a nice small stagger front to rear ive had a look on a will they fit calculator & i think i will just need small spacers to get the rears to fit - i already run 10mm spacers on the front so as to clear the HiSpec 4 pots so think fronts will be ok if any of our wheel expert people on here could offer any assistance with fitment & tyre choice i would be grateful - im thinking 205*45*16 on the front & 215/45/16 on the rear but maybe 225

good idea - will these flag up for us mods to approve in the same way spam is flagged?
-
thanks m8 the washers had to be tackled as there was no way i was cutting the carbon bonnet - i will try & get some pics & upload them once it has gotten a little warmer it is nice that they spread the washer fluid as they move rather than the static jets just hitting a small area
-
where the hell did you find that!!??
-
i really must get a pic of the VR6 front end with the Hella covers on, they make it look great
-
quick update - will get some pics soon but my god why had i not fitted lupo wipers before now - what a difference! also had to install some blade located washer jets as didnt want to cut the carbon fiber bonnet & they wash great as they move with the wipers & cover the entire screen highly recommended!!
-
chicken dinner - sounds very healthy π
-
they look nice i brought myself some zender star's late last year in a 15" 4*100 - same as the ones in the image
-
late model ones too & brand new - these may command a hefty sum! crazy really when i couldnt sell an entire corrado for 2 grand lol

What 80's - 90s cars for sale have caught your eye recently.

love the SP2!!! pity they werent available in the UK -
as long as you are happy that is the main thing appreciate your thanks m8 & am glad the looms turned out as well as they did - was well worth persevering with the OE connectors
-
hello m8 just out of interest have you checked the actual light output differences between stock & uprated loom? i run ring xenon max bulbs in both my rado's with the uprated looms & the difference to standard is definitely visible
