Looking good there - are they RM's ?? How do you find your Konigs for noise mate ?? I've just fitted some and find the car vibrates alot even with my 15" rims on.

[Yandards 0]

Yeah they are RM's - I do thing they look the mutts on the VW's of this period. Konigs are not too bad, but on some of the B roads around here it can get very noisy and jarring.

 

Thanks for all the positive comments, might get off my arse and put all the pieces I have together to make a G60 16v!

[daves16v 1]

It's good to see the elderly C's doing so well.

[Yandards 0]

Thats a bit cheeky Dave, its not that old! ;)

 

I suspect it may be one of the earliest RHD 16v in the country as the car was used as a demonstrater for a dealer for as year before being bought by its previous owner.

[daves16v 1]

Yandards, Can't get a lot older than a G plate, anyway nice car.

Quality Spec as its the same as Mine splits an all :-)

Mine too was a 'demonstrator' (directors wifes car)

Few more shots from E38 last year - on standard rims while I get my splitties refurbed.

[Yandards 0]

Few more pics of the engine under construction - still waiting on two bolts from VAG that hold the water pump on and then have a threaded section to hold the charger bracket on.

 

Belt routing pic has been modded since I took it after some advice from the club Gti guys who are doing/have done this conversion.

Wish I was that clever!

Theres a few 'F' reg ones about,but usually they a left hook G60s

[chubbybrown 0]

Yandards are you doing the splits yourself ?

 

or you getting somebody to do them ?

[dinkus 10]

Pfft, you could have at least cleaned your damned garage before taking the pics, Yan :lol:

 

Looking good 8)

[Yandards 0]

I am getting the splits blasted and painted by some guys at work and then rebuilding them myself.

 

Found a guy on german e-bay that does chrome bolts to TUV spec for about £7.50 for 10 delivered. When I get the wheels back I was going to e-mail and ask how much for the job lot of 120.

 

Still works out cheaper than the £1 a shot that I can find over here.

 

Be moving up near you soon Chubby so you could always have a look!
