*P3nfold* 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just a little update, bloody Schrick lol. I have now found I have rattle coming from the paddle flap thing, Need to devise a cunning plan to stop it without removing the Schrick.Thanks Nat for the PM regarding polishing the Schick, I am seriously considering getting it powercoated later in the year as show and shine is really not my bag.Going to a mates garage on Wednesday to test the new designed vacuum reservoir from Schrick to ensure I have no air leaks.Oh and the decat is blowing and I am getting what sounds like a vacuum leak between 1500 to 2500 rpm which could be related?The love of a VR, its just a shame my wife does not understand.

*P3nfold* 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No vacuum leak with the Schrick thanks god.Found out the the tb is ported which was nice I think and the decat blowing is sorted but need to wait for it to choke up.I must say I am extremely happy with the mods so far.So next steps;C2 Chip with Schimmel Cams,Paintwork,Change the rims.Then take my family on holiday and stop playing.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looking for a set of these later in the year on 17's 8j with 195/40 with a little stretchlove the BLQ's they look like a more modern version of the standard VR wheels inmo - but the ones I want are the NUE but they dont do the feckers in 16" :( not massively expensive either Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']It seems I have a ported throttle body of which seems to be generating a whistling sound once the butterfly begins to open between 1500 to 2500 rpm. No 100% sure on this but Darren @ g-werks took a look. Also I have a tin sort of noise from the exhaust which was caused by a small blow and that fact the decat has not choked up.Oh the rattle sound from the schrick was fixed by simply moving the ford vacuum valve on the top.I am serious in love with these rims, lol that sounds so wrong.

legvw 0 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the stretch piccys! The 195 strech looks abit much, but thats just my own opinion.Plus those wheels too look good, its going to be a tough choice mate... Link to post Share on other sites

There are alot cheaper than the others.I think Ben had a set on his car? Link to post Share on other sites
