GVK 1 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I lurk around here and post now and again, live in the Worcester area. Been around Dubs since about '95 on and off and had my current mk2 since 2002. It was bought as a stock 16v and has evolved over the years into a track day car but still road-useable...ish GaryIf you're looking for 'stance' 'air' or a leather clad engine bay..... you've clicked the wrong thread!Engine specOBD2 2.8 VR6Dougherty racing 268° camshaftsCarbonio cold air intakeDe-cattedUnorthodox racing alloy flywheel02J shifter mech and shift tower.Raceland stainless tubular manifold 'header'02A cable change box DPA gearset3.68FDPeloquin ATB diff.mk IV R32 shift lever and cable mech.235mm 11row oil cooler.C2 UK NA 268 chip,de-speed limited and 7200rpm limiter.Chassis/brakesH&R VR6 coil oversH&R 25/28mm anti roll bars (rear 3 way adjustable)Wide track conversion (using Passat bits) + 32mm front... + 20mm rear (10mm spacers behind stub axles)Poly bushes throughout.Eibach front strut braceSeat Ibiza Cupra 280mm brakesDS2500padsBraided linesMotul RBF600 fluidToyo R888 195/50x15Team Dynamics 'dtm' 7x15InsideStrippedSafety Devices 6 point roll cageOMP RS seat (drivers)OMP eco seat (pax)LUKE harnessesMOMO steering wheelOMP steering wheel spacerSparco black pedalsQuaife nylon gearknobMkIV R32 shifter mounted on tunnelOBD-II-shop ECU data interface.
