they are a rare eyebrow spoiler i believe - ive got one going on my VR6 along with the Kamei X1 body kit i just wish the paint shop would get a wriggle on, it has certainly been affected by this odd current situation

i had Longlife in Birmingham do the exhaust for my VR6 - it is 2.5" from the bottom of the downpipe back with a high flow CAT. took him 7.5 hours to custom fabricate on the car & is superb. very unintrusive if just cruising but will howl beautifully when foot down pics are on my build thread in members gallery if you want to see

this week i has mostly been in the workshop high as a kite on bloody glue fumes sticking down bits of leather on the backs of the door cards having last week cleaned & conditioned all the leather whilst it is all out of the VR6 seriously hoping the VR is ready to come back home the end of this week as this is now week 8 of the body restoration

oddly enough i have been tidying up the leather from the VR6 for when it is back from the paint shop & this too meant ive been slightly toasted on glue fumes lol pleased to say i now have door cards with zero duct tape on the rear i used some 3M neoprene high temp glue id brought years ago for the bonnet liners, seeing as i wont be fitting them to my carbon bonnet it was put to use - i sprayed it into a plastic tub so as i could then paint it on with a fine brush, seems to have worked a treat

the throw is so much more positive & shorter front to back - ive not crunched a 2nd to 3rd change at speed since fitting it 😄

i have one of daves16v short shifters on the VR6 & it is cracking - i found it helped give much more positive gear selection, especially 2nd to 3rd when giving some beans

or just send your shifter to daves16v & he will modify it so it just drops in with the help of a little dremmeling 😉

good thread Keyo i dont watch much on youtube but that is worth a look ive mostly been bashing need for speed heat the past couple of weeks - id recommend that to anyone looking to get their heart beat raised for a while.....damn them cops come out in force at times lol

yeah the VW diagram says they are 'modify in workshop, see workshop manual'

hi cressa from the VW exploded diagram the blocks are part number 443845631A - i got 6 of them this week

brilliant!! thanks dragon! i hoped there might be - will get some ordered love this place, after participating fhere or over 10 years this forum always turns up the goods & rarely fails, it is a gold mine resource 😄

hello all does anybody by any chance, & i know this is likely a long shot, have a spare set of stainless tank straps they would be willing to part with please? the body shop has said mine are past their best ive checked Heritage & they only have the non stainless 55l ones in stock thanks

Hi all Does anybody know if the corrado uses an encapsulated windscreen or not? my VR6 is in the body shop & i need to get it a new windscreen - Pilkington have an option for encapsulated or not but ive no clue what that means or implies anyone any idea? thanks muchly

tidy thanks fender

thanks guys i had the drivers window mech replaced & this is when the rattle started are they easily visible when you have the door lining down? im not even sure where im looking lol

hi all does anyone know how the window rollers fit? the site the guide was on is no longer alive & seeing as ive got all the interior out it might be worth fitting them to get rid of the rattle thanks

the VR is looking great goldie!! i thought you might like to know that the kit i got from you is being put on my VR as part of the body restoration 😄

pretty sure i brought rear light seals from there a couple of years ago - im sure they were in the box i gave to the body shop but not sure if they included the light on the rear hatch as well

2 weeks down, 3 or 4 to go.....

well - the BIG day has finally arrived after many years of collecting & hoarding parts & somehow managing to find another Kamei skirt kit the VR6 is about to be dropped off to the body shop for some serious treatment 😄 ive stripped out rear seats, rear & front door cards & passenger seat, loaded up boxes of new/replacement parts & put the skirt kit in - next stop no rust & fresh paint all over just need to try & sort a replacement windscreen as wouldnt you know 2 days before the screen is due to come out ive noticed several cracks in the lower passenger side corner, typical lol hopefully i can figure out how to put some pics on here of a before & after - hold tight im a tad nervous lol

does anyone have a guide on how to fit these pls? looks like the canadian site on the 1st page is no longer functional :( thanks in advance

good new, thanks Toby!

I had 263's dropped in during my head rebuild & also went for the BMC - with a Vince remap & a good free flowing exhaust id guesstimate you would end up around the 220-225 mark FYI the BMC sounds awesome!! :D

good points Mr Bacon a friend showed me an Escort RS2000 which has just gone for over 90K from the NEC classic show!!
