I think we have our fair share of Jeremy Kyle types in braintree! [emoji2]

Be bloody careful of them mate, this is a pic of my car after fitting the suspension but before adjusting the apportion valveAnd yes, it bloody hurt!

Hello everyone, my names Dave and I am a lifelong Petrolhead, as well as being a retired RAF Fast jet pilot ! I am looking to purchase a really good VR6 with full service history, sensible mileage, and no issues. I will pay good money for a good car. I can be contacted via this forum or directly on david14624@gmail.com

Well I haven't seen her in person yet :/ I just got the pic sent to me as a text And yeah it reacted the other side aswell but it's all ok now after been taken right down and redone Just got the boot to be sprayed now after the bodge job has been rectified I'm going to be a happy happy bird when it's done not sure about the posh bit [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

And this is how my baby looks right now just needs to dry so I can put bits back on :D And of course clean her

I think I will come along. Cheers

Star street garage in ware, Hertfordshire. This is where oc member Bennyk works his magic! I recommend him and his paint skills highly

I would love to meet up with you both, Lets get together soon. Cheers Den

Hi, Thanks for the invite Would love to meet up soon, But I don't think my VR6 is ready for the RR day yet. I am trying to find a good car painter to touch up the bumper and paint my twin hella lights. May be you can recommend someone. Please let me know of any local meet ups. Cheers Den

Good day at the meet today, picked up a set of black abc pillar trims and a seat toledo front splitter

I will drive in reverse so you can keep up lol I'm sure you will be welcome

Yeah I am using tapatalk but it said my didplayname and name were both redvr6_girl Changed it on iPad via Google and it's sorted it out now It's not that I don't want my name on there , it's that I have some of these people in mk3oc on here and didn't want any confusion when talking to people

So as some may be aware, it's not all going as well as it was and now it needs the following: New sump and plug Oil and oil filter Starter motor Relocate horn Bleed engine coolant Fit rear anti roll bar clamp Brackets for brake pipes on front coilovers Bolts for exhaust mani New engine mounts This car is costing me a fortune!!!!

Hi guys, I'm moving my Golf to a new workshop next weekend (Saturday 31st Jan.) because of this I'm renting a self drive car transporter for the day. Is there anyone around the London area that needs a car or anything moving? Depending on mileage I'd only want £20-£30 to move something, not looking to make money just cover a bit of the cost of renting the transporter. The trucks got a full winch and rachet straps so no worries if theres a engine or not! Please shout up if this would be useful for anyone or people you know! Cheers, Matt

Haha, it was the SWDUBS Mega Meet at Exeter Services and then on to Budleigh Salterton Bealieboy where are you from?

You're one sick puppy!

It's looking good Kel. Has the paint come out ok now? Your gonna be a posh vr6oc bird when it's all built up and sparkling. Haha. [emoji12]

St Bernards merged with St Phillip Howard in poplar and became Blessed John Roch. There was no need for two Catholic schools as the area changed soooo much...sad really. But I have good memories I think your right we must have some connection with people we know. I will tell you my family name when we meet up.

You're getting bloody good at this cabbs, I'm impressed! Been doing I.T evening classes on the quiet have we?

Wtf does that mean? [emoji3]

If you put @ infront of the name it will create a hyper link like on fb and effectively tag him so he is aware ?

VR6DEN RR meet page

Den, you can't find it because it's had the life spammed out of it by the likes of me and cabbs. I'll pm you a link fella, if I can find it!! [emoji2]

Do you have the details for the RR meet....I am trying to find it on the pages but I am having no luck. Thanks

Yes I am on the London borders. I know East London well as I grew up there as a kid. I have a rough idea where this is. Please can you get me the addy, Thanks, Den

ouch!! That looks a bad one. Car won't be going anything for a long time so will take extra care when setting it up. Is there a trick to it?

Your in London? Well basically london ? Romford ? papa in limehouse does resprays Can't think of name of road atm - I'll find it But as you come out the link on the high way turn right at lights then there's a road on the left , turn in to the double gates just AFTER the road I'm being vague but I'll get you addy when I can

Nope I missed it too. Haha. Sounds like it was close by you pal. You need to get to these meets. I'm banking on your to find me some southern bargains. Haha

Unsure how affective it will be now. The spring that attaches it to the rear beam got a little stretched when it dropped. The joys of being on my own! Few pipes got twisted aswel. Probably needed renewed anyways:)

Looks like you missed that one pal. Not like you at all. You've got eyes like a Bombay shitehawk. You don't miss a trick. Haha

Little update. Got the rear beam off today. What a pig of a job!!! Bit of advice, remove ALL brake lines, clips, wires, anything holding the beam on. Didn't quite get everything split, just the small box that was on the beam, which I think it's the brake compensator?! Correct me if I'm wrong. Few pics.. Plan is to get the beam refurbished and powder coated, ready for my 256mm upgrade to go on. Hopefully soon:)

I had an impromptu meet with Mistline at an unknown but v nice pub at welwyn garden city. This would be a good venue for s/e meets!

Nice one ill order a set of wishbone bushes from vw/ audi, Thats interesting because I fitted powerflex to the rear beam of my other vr6 and they dont seem too harsh I think changing all the bushes ball joints etc is one of those jobs that once done should make a huge difference to the whole drive of the car, not exactly a pleasant job though !

My phone only just showed the post you made about buying one soon ... No need to reply to above question.

Welcome. What hot rod stuff have you built? I come from a yank background myself and as soon as im done building my vr6turbo in my Golf I'm moving it on to get back onto yanks. We may be able to help each other out ha ha.

Worth it tho

KieranH Why would he be kidding ? From us it's 2 hour 10 mins drive ...... Plus we making a few stop off along the way so around 3 hours driving ??

Yes they should be able to by driving in and reversing onto the rollers

I'm happy with mine mate. You both can stick your TT mirrors where they fit. Lol

I was there last year and was a great day just gutted I couldn't take the car but was great watching too

If it doesn't fit, sell it to cabbs, he'll buy anything! Lol[emoji106]

I might give it a go then lol

Been far too long since I've updated this. With work and not having a lock up for the car progress has been slow. Thankfully I now have a lock up so things are moving on nicely. Firstly, about 3 months ago I purchased a set of grey/black remarks in really good condition for a bargain price! I've always wanted recaros in a golf so the other interior had to go! After getting the lock up I started the strip down. Interior came out pretty quick. I then started removing all trim and bumper to inspect sills and arches. In my opinion they look really good for this age of car, minimal work will nee

Cabbs to the rescue!

Oh look, I let something slip and the magpies start flocking round! [emoji2] Yes mate, I'm pretty certain mk1 tt mirror goes straight on

Hey guys I've not been on hear for a while.. Anyway I've rebuilt my 4mo & have been blasting around in her for a couple of months now, there's still a few things I've gotta sort out, one of the most recent things I've done is shim the gearbox input shaft to cancel out a whining noise!! This is a must do for anyone with the 02M box.. So here's a link I found on vw vortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6089802-02M-whining-decel-noises-aftermarket-clutch-disengagement-issues-mainshaft-axial-play

Have you tried a clay cloth dan? They're ace, piece of cake to use, far easier than clay bar.

Prefer the sound of the gates of hell opening on the rollers [emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the drivers door catch fixed as well, the reason I was having to jump out of the window or passenger door at Gti festival the other week! Not sure why it decided to stop working needless to say it was a bastard getting to it with the door shut!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
