Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on here in a while. Got a bit disheartened after that day. The car is back now. I collected it the second week of January. Vince has turned it into a monster. Its pushing 355hp!! It was mapped without the methanol though as my kit stopped working for some reason. I've got a few more bits to do and then will probably take it back for another tune up. I need a bigger intercooler, relocate my air filter in to the wheel arch as the MAF is to close to the turbo and I have no more room to move it away further unless I move the air filter into the wh

White block finished spraying!!!!!!!

Check out this bad boy on eBay at the moment! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Modified-Mini-Golf-VR6-175bhp-Autotest-track-day-car-/121890540424 I will just leave it right there haha This would be a great little project car for someone to have a play, possibly for drag racing not sure how it would go down the strip with those small wheels though! What's the most craziest VR6 conversion you have ever seen?

Worthersee booked! Will be there from the 26th April to 1st May. Going down in a 5 car convoy.

If you want Wossner and PEC stuff, try VRT. (VRTonline.co.uk) They are the cheapest I've found in the UK for this stuff. Mention me and you might even get a further discount! One thing I would recommend is speaking to the machine shop BEFORE you have any work done on the block, or buy the pistons! They can advise then on what size pistons would be best for your block once machined, can be a costly mistake if the block ends up being too big for your pistons once you've had it sorted! Simon.

I didn't ask to have mine done mate to be honest as I'd read good and bad reports on having it all done to do with the Harmonics of the VR engine, but sure they can advise you if its worth while and if they can do it. Simon.

Might try and book for the weekend and bring a small camper with the kids! I have a large gas BBQ annol [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Ah they sound the bollocks then to be fair , when I get some time I'll give them a ring and ask for them about what I want done , don't suppose they can balance the crank too ?

Haha don't worry I know the sort of people , got a lot of similar people around me telling me they don't want to go near me block , as soon as I tell an engineering /machine shop it's a vr they stay well away [emoji23]

No problem mate, Happy to assist It's a proper old school race engine engineering company, so they can be a blunt on the phone so bear with them, but they are the best i've used in over 20 years of engine modding/building. Simon.

Well as long as I can send it on a pallet to them and pay for return delivery I should be okay , I'll have to get in touch with them , thanks for the info mate

Aye that's not even half of it but I was so far in I couldn't stop so it's probably the dearest vr6 in Scotland but at least I know it's solid. Being on the east of Scotland doesn't do these cars any good but if it was a 94 ford from here it would be in a poly bag  [emoji23]

wow - that's pretty rotten! unfortunately seems to be the norm when it comes to mk3 these days :( Fair play for sticking to it and getting it sorted

Aye pity it wasn't as clean underneath when I bought it some unscrupulous git had tryed to make the floor out of fibreglass there has been 2 weeks solid welding done to it and everything mechanical has been replaced would love to get supercharger kit for it so if anyone knows of any for sale can you let me know. Cheers

Another hot chilli red one on here [emoji106]

Cheers guys the wheels are speedlines painted in mat anthracite 16" I wanted to keep the old skool look and didn't want to go any bigger

U'll get a lambda fault with a misfire unburnt fuel open loop circuit etc, change all the coils and check plugs would be my first port of call pal

Hi and welcome to the club! Car looks very clean, really like them with the arches still on! Nice wheels as well, they Compomotive's?
