ollie_ 0 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've just thrown this together for a local forum from a years worth of thread on edition, so I apologise at how rushed it is haha!Last thing people may remember was mk2 on 17" LMs. Since then, I've had an e30, a mk3 with a hole in the gearbox, a mk3 VR, a Saxo vtr, and now I'm back in a VR, but its a bit special...This is it currently.Me and Orrin picked it up from a well random farm in darwen, after spotting it on pistonheads.It's a mk3 vr6, that was built by gti engineering before registered, so came from the factory with 270 cams, a fancy map, and fancy intake.It'd also had a 6 branch, a 2 box power flow system, BMc cda intake, and a map to suit it with a decat! Although it had a cat in at this point. Also some horrible wolf race wheels, colour concept seats, and weitec shocks and springs, and eibach arbs.I was chuffed!First thing I did was sorted lighting to something a little less... 2005 Warmed my bumDecat itPut it on 15s from jaystateliiiidDid thatReplaced thatPut that inDrove it a lot and got Instagram I was getting water in somewhere, wet carpets etc... Turned out I had a stream running from the rear lights to the foot wells :-/Stripped everything out to dry it, drove to edition like this, and my ears bled Then I shortened my gear stick!Then I bought a knew knob. I realise it says nismo, but it was the perfect shape, material, and colour, so I had to have it.Fitted thatBought thisRolling roaded itGot this, and was extremely disappointed by the figure considering what's in the engine, and what it's scalped over the year I've owned it.Fuelling was fine too. Only thing I can think is that it's skipped a notch on the timing chain!Video -http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/oliverslab/6EF1B532-0387-422A-A2D5-29F9D203424B-850-000000FC3E320105.mp4These turned upWent on.Went podLowered itCambered and new brakes'd itWhoops...New onesStill going when it got dark (bloody caliper carrier bolts!)And togetherAnd that brings unto now!I off to oulton in it in a couple of weeks,and cant bloody wait.Oh, I've got this hanging around tooAswell as a longer fifth to gear it out to 186mph Link to post Share on other sites

VIW28 29 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Very nice mate. Just looking at your dyno print out...I doubt you'd see that power if your timing was off tbh. You should take a few lambda and maf readings to see how your fuelling is. Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks gethin! It's got a new maf in already, and I've got a lamda sat here to go in. Fingers crossed with that and a basic settings reset on vagcom, it should be better.It's going in for timing chains, LSD, clutch and long fifth next week! Link to post Share on other sites
