cornishvr6 52 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Probably one of the best photos i have found so far, Taken at dub aid at the weekend Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Been a while since i updated this, Not a great deal to speak of just small adjustments here and there, Ultimate dubs came and went with some great inspiration taken from the weekend,Fitted some black custom fit floor mats which cleaned the interior up a treat, lowered the coilovers a bit more, spent alot of time cleaning in the engine bay and detailing the car all over ready for the trip up to dub aid in wiltshire,Really pleased with how it was now looking, Got back from dub aid and re-painted my engine cover, fitted an audi r8 oil cap, bit more detailing ready for vw action southwest where i picked up my 1st trophy for everyday watercooled vehicle concours winner, Got a new bosch battery to fit keeping with the oem theme, Some r36 blue wiring covers, new reverse switch, aux belt and other service bits along with a few more plans in the pipeline ready for run to the sun and Bristol volksfest.

Gefstar 1 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Awesome vr6 fella, just shows how far I have got to go before mine looks anywhere near halfway decent!! Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, its two years of hard work but its getting there, Don the momo steering wheel came with the car so im unsure what the previous owner did and not had any problems with warning light. not even sure i have one with it being a 1992 J' or if it came with a driverside airbag as standard.

cornishvr6 52 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well it's time for two front tyres as the lows and camber have worn the inner edges pretty fast especially after travelling upto Bristol volksfest, More bad news is that the clutch is slipping so going to order a Sachs replacement and get that fitted at the end of the month. With this I'm weighing up gearbox options whilst I'm there and also whether to rebuild the engine soon using 2.9 bottom end or go down the 3.2 route at the end of show season.... Mmmmh decisions Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Decided to bring the front end down a little more before Bristol volksfest, Happy with how it now sits, Here is a few recent pics.Sachs clutch should be here in the next day or 2, Just picked up some Audi TT front calipers, carriers, lines so going to order some 312mm discs and pads to suit, Hopefully they should sqeeze under the wheels and perform much better than the 288's so its going to be a busy couple of weeks.
