Little bit of an update for this thread, not got much done to it recently as I've been collecting parts for the engine rebuild.....which even though I'm not going mad with uprated parts is costing a small fortune! Had the spare head stripped, skimmed and rebuilt with new lifters, guides etc, still needs a good clean; Then some arp bits turned up; Also ordered new chains and bearings from oemandmore, Adrian there was very helpful I must say. So these should turn up in the week so I can start putting it all together. Managed to get some highline door cards for pretty much nothing so borrowed th

This will be highly amusing, travelling with 2 potentially saddened Vr owners due to potential rain. I don't think country file weather report can see that far into the future so I can't tell you what's forecast for that day. Still, we could always look on the bright side eh! [emoji23]

Here's a turn up for the club, I and a few members in the essex, saaaf laandaan and Hertfordshire area decided we ought to do something in the way of getting together. So the date is set for Sunday 22nd of feb 2015, the location as yet is unknown but it will involve a bit of a blat and a pit stop in as suitably decent beverage serving establishment. This offer also extends to the surrounding counties and cities. So far on the list we have: Bennyk Mistline Redvr6-girl Denvr6 Djmadman Bealieboy Ssaunders If anyone else fancies a trip out, please let us know via adding yourself to the list or

Just had a read through this mate, your doing a top notch job, looks mega fair play to ya

No cabbs, I'm carefully replacing parts from the ground up. Very little of the car will be left untouched this year. Yes wheels will go on and Also new wings and tailgate too

Crickey you have been seriously impulse buying haven't you. Lol Are your wheels going on?

Il be there can't miss a VR6OC 1st

I have been! Have to have a bit of time off from cars occasionally! It's pretty much there now, here's the proof! ; Sorry mate they were 5 door cards, swapped them for a couple of old engine mounts with a mate who's 1.8t ing a mk2 jetta. So got a set of highline 5 door black leather door cards here of anyone needs a set?

I shall practice my hail Mary's in case I accidently sin on the day.

I bet you end up having to go to confession

GOOD MORNING MEMBERS. (Please don't spam this thread now) We still have places left for this RR day at Stealth Racing if any of you fancy it. We need to fill this list and possibly the reserves list aswell. This is going to be an excellent day out. Get your name down fast as time is running out. Sunday 1st March is the big day. If you haven't got your name down and want to be part of it drop me a message. Thanks Rolling. 1. Vr6pete. 2. Michael555

When was it decided getting there for 9am [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] oh boy :/ I best have a chat with myself and see if I'm allowed to only work a half day or that the day before [emoji108][emoji14][emoji14]

i kept meaning to get my class 1 but im a tight fucker and never done it. plus i dont want to be driving for a career. suffer with road rage too bad. my top 5 road rage antagonists 1) addison lee taxis 2) bmw drivers 3) 4x4 drivers 4) female drivers of 4x4 5) buses all of whom think they own the road and always try to play chicken. needless to say i always win

Me too Ben. My Betsy doesn't do rain. :-)

So I take it that means about 110 miles for me then Bealieboy? I hope the weathers nice! I'll get all jittery if the VR comes out in rain!!

Hi All, I am trying to work out what spacers I need for these wheels. The front rim is touching the caliper. Please can someone help, 205 45 16 or 215 45 16 16 9J ET 30 all 4 rims Standard springs, I will lower it at a later date. Thanks Den

Interested to see them all fitted up. Little report would be good buddy

Good work cooz! How did you get on with the s/c?

Always better on a Saturday pal. Foreigners are cheap as chips lol

Sooo, if everything goes according to plan, I should have new bumpers and tailgate in the next week or so with some interior touches to come as well! The main question plaguing me at the moment though, is do I refurb the RX2 alloys I have for this and keep the arches unrolled, or do I paint up and fit my 16x8 and 9 inch splits and roll the arches..................!? The shells so solid, it would be a shame to ruin it, but am I kidding myself that MK3's may actually be worth something one day??

That's fine il wait [emoji6]

Ok thank you I spent quite a while trying to google the answer using various sites before I posted in here , hence I got the info above about using the 20mm with et20 and et25 Tho I know some one with 17 Porsche et35 front and rear , no spacers just straight on So it's really confusing as one person telling me one thing another person something else and these sites another :/

Do you mind waiting for us whilst we're out on the blat? [emoji2]

Haha, yeah I have my own busniess called Perfect Paint and Detailing (check out my page on FB) and I have been in the trade for about 10 years now The problem is, I very rarely get enough time to work on my own cars!

Tempting......

Nice update ben, thought you were spending all your dollar on the fish tank. [emoji2]

What's the specs of these rims and what price are you looking at when you come to sell. I was trying to stay away from the norm like bbs style rims but I can't seem to be able to. They just suit the car to a tee lol

No, that was a different one! Lmao

We won't say anything lol

Ignore ^^^^^ I Found updated one my iPad is a tard and only loaded half the messages [emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji379][emoji379][emoji378]

That maybe the best option Kel. Don't forget this is a Sunday though. Bealieboy's not going to church service that day so I'm sure you can pull the right strings... Lol

Check these on ebay. Item number is 251802297559

If it's a consistent tapping noise, it's not the rods simple as. Big end shells will cause a definite knock/clack that not only gets faster with engine speed, gets considerably louder and nastier. Sorry king but I think we will have to professionally agree to disagree. As Pete says the 12v is a happy tappy engine, combination of general chain running noise, followers etc.

Well said pal.... Daveyboy stop penny pinching and get your arse down there. 2.20mins for me. But even further as I'm going the day before to the neck of Bealieboy. Lol.

Maybe post this in the wheels brakes and suspension section mate.. Probably get more attention there:)

Maybe worth bearing tin mind the 12v AAA and ABV manifolds have runner length compensation inside the manifold. 24v manifolds do not, but have compensation in the camshaft duration instead. Hence the plenum differences in variable inlet manifold design.

I'm coming from the South coast, 115 miles for me. Its not a meet, its an event! Get yourself down and get on the rollers!

It will be worth it to meet the fellow members, visit stealth, and listen to the gates of hell open up on the rollers .

I need some new ink should have a vr6 club stand/tattoo day lol

Yes i am still looking. Thank you for your reply. If you fin it please pm me on here. Thanks

My other half and daughter will be there too. We always go for th e weekend. There a few of us that camp it's a decent piss up with there being live bands and that on all weekend

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

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!

Who's the 3??? Lol. Ain't ya counting me in pal? Haha

Oh no that's so 1990's max power magazine style [emoji37] As said for the lights from outer edge in is indicators a blanking plate then fogs.

hi, been chatting with Bealieboy and we are meeting on way (braintree) any southerners looking to meet i was thinking South Mimms services for 7 a.m. that gives 15 minutes to chat then toddington (30 mins) for 7.45 another 15 mins chat and off to stealth (55mins) for 9, and thats all at legal speeds! let us know if its do-able. cheers steve

I run 205/40 all round on 7.5j, and I'll run 205 on 8 & 8.5j. I don't get enough ground clearance with 195/40 it leaves my rims too vulnerable

Yeah I think buying the golf has made me realise that it's pretty much impossible to do anything original with a golf, so you're better off just doing what you like and if anyone else likes it, it's a bonus! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
