I'm hoping I solve my issues in the mk2. 42psi here we come

Welcome along mate. We have all been lurkers at some point or another. Even myself. Haha. Membership is £10.00 mate. The benefits and discounts are good too. We look forward to you becoming a fully fledged member and seeing some pics of your motor. Cabbs

So, on the run up to the local SWDubs Mega meet on Sunday 25th, I have started to give the VR a good clean! I started with a wash this afternoon, tomorrow I will polish up a few bits and give the bodywork a good going over with the claybar, and then Friday I will give the interior a good clean and the bodywork a coat of wax, Saturday I will give it another wax, treat the trim and give it another wash, and then Sunday morning I will give the bodywork a quick going over with the detailing spay

Nope I haven't done anything to my arches they fit just fine thanks to the slight stretch on the tyres

Bealieboy, cabbs nearly blew my tent over and it was probably a mile away from the stand lol. Hopefully this year I'll have a bit more room to take the stand for the club banner and we'll set the club stand up a bit better.

It was actually ok mate. Just that wind was wild. Lol. If the weathers good it will be a good show.

Want a VR6.

Just a quick post to say I have fitted the short shifter mech and it is brilliant! Great workmanship, fast turn around and great instructions! Highly recommended Here is some pics of the throw reduction to give everyone and idea!

Sound cheers Plan are get it on the road first and through the mot. Got coilovers off my old car to go on. Then looking at some rims probably 17" Then going to make it mint on the out side. I'm thinking of going to justdubsuk this year and vw fest just on the Sunday. Once I have the car I had planned on doing a build thread. And this site has been really help with the info on the vr6. And the previous owner said to get a membership paid for the extra stuff. So I will probably do so at some point.

It should be on the side of the rocker cover , side nearest the air filter. Or apparently near the timing chain covers here as shown in pic Rich

Welcome along to the club mate. We've got a few shows up north this year that I'll be getting on with organising hopefully in the next few weeks. What plans do you have for your vr? Also get a build thread going too mate. If you need any advice mate just ask [emoji41]

BEAST!!!

Well first got the car in2011 drove it for few months an parked it up as had a civic aero deck Vti that I had bult engine on and had a 2003 Octavia VRS standard Did intend to keep the golf parked up and slowly restore it Not that it was in bad nick but get rid of small bits of rust etc Since then I've moved stripped the civic sold the octavia got another civic ek4 vtis and rebuilt the b18 12.7-1 c/r type r head etc was good till a water pipe split so warped block and it got left stripped I ran out of patience roving a standard vr so came the 24v Evan now I can't believe the difference in th

I would just use sealer on it but that's my preference. I have used the sealant on hundreds of sumps at work and never had a leak yet.

3 door is the way keiran! Unfortunately I have a 5 door, but I still love it!

Wouldn't take me long, I'd feel guilty though. The car should be preserved and well looked after. Give it 50 years and see how much it will be with less than 4k miles on the clock. EDIT: If you remember that Vr6 I showed you, I'm not getting it now. After looking around, I figured that a 3 door model would be nicer. Unfortunately a 3 door VR6 Golf is hard to find in decent condition.

My new vr6 purchased last week after selling my mulberry highline 5 door 2 weeks ago [emoji4]

I'm hoping for as close to 200 as possible. Then I'll speak to Vince about mapping it to get the most out of the mods.

Cheers for the help! I'll have a look for a stalk assembly and see if it cures the problem.

I'll show you mate. [emoji106]

My whole car is like a sponge. Well........it certainly soaks up a lot of money!

I was giving cabbs a dig, not encouraging them at me! Lmao

I'll be up for some muff

So today's exploits went as follows.... First point of call, exhaust manifold... Now I wrapped it in heat wrap, I'll never do it again, pain in the backside, also had to split a weld so it would fit: New silicone hoses going on: Coilpack and leads back on: Other bits and bobs added: The one away special "coffee cup" mod: Sachs clutch going in: Gearbox on: Theeeeeeen, engine in place: Then about 2-3hrs of faffing about (because Matt and I were a bit eager to get it started), it finally started (no exhaust connected): https://vimeo.com/117112536 Then we connected pretty much everything

Must fix car

Got some pics of some road trips..... Love going off in Europe
