Thought I would start a thread for my VR6 Golf. I am lucky enough to own a Corrado VRT as a weekend toy, so this is the daily. Have been a (smallish ) part of this forum for a few years now and have always been impressed with the standard of some people's cars. Have had this mk3 for 4 years, having had a auto 3-door Highline beforehand. I was Iucky enough to find this one available for sale just at the right time when I was looking for a good one, and the bonus was that this one had had a load of work already done to it including a set of 17s, Coilovers a Jetex stainless system and HIDs.

The Leon Cupra R bembo calipers have been hard work getting the right bits for them. But I have finally got everything I need. Just waiting on the TT wheels to be refurbished then I can get everything put on. I went for matt lewis racing braided hoses for LCR brembo calipers, but they also had to send me out separately 2x fine pitch banjo fittings to fit the calipers. Disc and pad combination that was recommended to me was the Ferodo DS2500 pads, EBC Ultimax discs and ATE super blue racing brake fluid. I'm not doing anything on the rears yet but later on I plan on doing the mk4 rear caliper

Got to find some room for the meth injection next lol. Just ordered a devils own 6-30 psi kit.

There is still a difference but not thing major, OBD2 runs a double chain. And OBD1 runs a single chain. But so long as you use correct sensors and throttle body it will work in either.

Yes I used a company off ebay which are in birmingham hose fitting UK

Getting my ears ready to hear my 1st VR6 Engine sound. Can't wait guys. Wish me luck

No you are pal. I've got you your own personal sponge. :-)

So are they chief car washers at shows?? Lol

P.S - For anyone playing with NMAX - there is never any need to up your rev limit to 10k, lairy cams and massively modded head about 8k at a push, but I have seen a heavily modded VR6 with a big turbo and they still produce 900hp at 6850rpm and no more power was had up to the 8500rpm red line! The VR6 engines are proper undersquare engines in that they are slow and low revving and best to tune them as such in my opinion.

Hi, tried looking for these from GSF and Euro's and i assume they are the double calipers? checking the parts geek they also fit\come on the Cabrio 94-98 i have found these Girling g60 brake calipers Left: VW# 447 615 123 Right: VW# 447 615 124 Seal rebuild kit for Girling calipers: VW# 447 698 471 Girling g60 brake carriers VW# 447 615 125 are these good link here as well http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a3b4/girling-g60-brake-caliper-swap.htm cheers s

Bit of an update with my car. It's been back in my garage since last week and i only got round to working on it today. It's all run in so the idea was to do an oil and filter change and get it booked in for mapping. Well today certainly did not turn out like that. Firstly I decided that I will run the original oil cooler with the mocal one as I am not at the moment and in order to do that I will have needed to get the front end back off. So I drained down the coolant and got the front end off.... Next I drained the old oil out. I need to get me a socket for the oil filter housing as I have no

Great progress bud!

So I finally got the VR back together I gave it a good wash on Saturday, and have taken any opportunity to take it for a drive this weekend Anyways, pics: This happened Christmas Eve So it sat in my yard, waiting to be repaired, and then I got a bit carried away lol!

come on you vr6 madmen

I've got a pair of these with runners. Wondering how hard they would be to fit or if they will look any good!!!

I would recommend not removing the stock oil/water 'cooler' We sell a tube that allows you to fit the stock 'cooler' along with a sandwich plate. This way it is not possible for the oil to be cooled below the factory specifications and it allows the water to be heated by the oil during the warm up of the engine.
