true, i would imagine they would both work at a guess

IIRC they are early or late model differences m8 my 1990 16v raises at 45mph the 95 VR6 raises at 55mph

😄

the 205 fitment for the speedline is becoming a problem i have always ran bridgestone potenza's on my VR6 & were always preference on my other cars too - however some wise fool at bridgestone decided they didnt want to make in our size any longer i have a similar dilemma with choice of tyres for the modena's im putting on the VR - the staggered 215 & 225 width on a 16" i want give me hardly any choice at all to have front & rear matching there was really only the yokohama ad08r's but i am aware they are meant to be bad in the wet as are predominantly a track tyre. however on a recent search nexen are making both sizes needed for the new wheels which bring me to my point........i run 205/45/17 on my supercharged mini & have last year moved to nexen fera su1 front & rear they are performing very well so far & the mini is a bit of an asbo beast. they seem good in both wet & dry, dont seem to spin up much with the traction turned off & side wall seems good on turn in my friend also runs the nexen on her track car & all reports are they a very good all rounder, they had sun, rain & snow on the last day out lol i will be putting nexens on the modean's when they are ready

cant see the info sean 😞 any center gauges on there? lol

oooo i have one of those in the 16v!! ideas begin

as per as others are saying i would start with a top end rebuild & get the chains done. it is possible to inspect the health of the bottom end by looking for the original honing marks in the bores FYI i had my top end & chains done at approx 155K with vince at stealth & the bottom end was judged to be pretty healthy also as per what other have said, there will be a number of other parts which would be wise to renew during the work; water pump, aux water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, temp sensors to name a few IIRC my work with stealth ended up being around £3.5k as we ended up chasing old failing parts for a short while but i did also add fancy stuff like 263 cams, BMC CDA & a remap

new repeaters with seals are pennies on ebay m8 couple of quid & no messing required

right then - we are just one member missing from the name & addresses despite multiple messages on here & also to the user email so as not to delay any longer im going to send the details over to the maker & explain 1 is a TBC

what engine? have you checked your throttle cable? how does the loud pedal feel underfoot, fairly flowing or stiff?

no problem tim - thanks for the PM

Stone0311 added totalling 16

cracking thanks PM received

thanks for todays PM''s 2 people outstanding

PM's sent out to those who have not yet provided name & addresses

im still waiting on a few address info - i can add you to the buy if you would like one/?

a long time ago, in my 1.4 SR nova i had a great powered antenna the antenna itself stuck onto the front windscreen behind the rear view mirror & then wired into the feed & the switchable live for power on key ive long thought about putting similar in the VR6 but i rarely listen to the radio or ipod in it. however i have recently got the audio hardware as i want it i have looked at a USB bluetooth dongle which is properly plug & play to connect to the sony head unit in there at the moment as i could then connect my phone & use spotify - i guess that would be a simple way to achieve DAB too as could just play the stations through the phone

thanks to everyone who has sent me their info 10 are in & 5 to go 🙂

right then guys & gals ive been off work so a little late with this buy im going to now close the buy at 15 required could all those on the final list pls PM me with your full names & postal addresses once all received i will collate & send of to Zak thanks everyone

i wouldnt worry about it then m8 & id hedge my bets it is an old stat as i say my 16v is the same, the stat is fine but the dash gauge always sits around 70 the VR6 dash gauge however sits at 90 & i know it was replaced with a new stat when it had a head rebuild. prior to that work the gauge would sit at 70 ive been told that VW engineered the stats this way to reduce calls from general public about low temps

it could well be that it just has a very old thermostat in it old stats would always sit at 70 whereas a more modern stat is designed to sit at 90 by the engineers do you have any overheating issues?

sorry m8 - only just seen this, will add you now

good find m8 fastest owned - probably my modified VR but i think my modified & half stripped R53 supercharged mini would give it a run for its money. they both produce noise induced grins time after time! fastest ive been in - a few contenders; the nissan GTR i drove was crazy but then my old boss took me out in his modded porsche GT3, which covered ground so quickly it was incredible most interesting is a tough one - i still remember a ride in a 308 ferrari when i was about 10, had some great times in my uncles VW camper van but id go with my dads porsche 911 3.0 SC targa

i removed both headlights to fit the loom as the OE connectors make it difficult to get through the gaps with them in place yes that channel on the LHS of the battery tray is where the factory cables ran & was enough room to fit the loom there too the clip on the wing behind the headlight is to hold the yellow dim dip connector but that needs disconnecting & taping up when fitting the loom i also found that by running the main wires in that channel made the negative battery lead quite neat
