Event Title: Rolling Road Day Event Author: michael5556 Calendar: Club Events Event Date: 05/22/2016 12:00 AM Finally! a date has been decided for a rolling road day! Once again this is at stealth in the middle of the country, also for their extensive knowledge about vr's. 22nd of May 2016. minimum of 20 cars, and enough rough for 30ish in one day. Please ensure your not very low if you wish to have a go as you wont be able to run on the rollers. Not everyone will be running and we will be there all day so come down for a chat

Hi, further to my 'newbie' post, here's some pics of the car I got on Friday. 2002, Alpha silver, 70k, cruise, aircon, heated black leather seats, 1 owner, fsh, all receipts/paperwork. Really pleased with her. Just need to put some hours cleaning inside and out, should come up a treat with no crashes, dents or dings. Badge missing off of front grille...

Can anyone tell me if OBD2 clocks will work in a OBD1 car before I go to the trouble of pulling my clocks out.

Thanks, I can finally have a MFA screen I can read, there's only 400 miles difference between the clocks, and I don't need them for my mk2, so i'll stick them in. What's the difference in the gti clocks pete out of interest?

yup,,its well worth it on older cars now,,the difference is amazing..but hard to swallow the cost as you dont see them,,but like been said,worth for a keeper!!imo

As above, I was dubious about that amount of money on some pretty coloured poly/rubber under my car that I wont even see.. Now I wont be without them. Make a huge difference and give the old VRs a new car feel with tightness on the road. Same with engine mounts, vibratech ones compared to standard is just ridiculous.. but all worth it for a keeper car..

Sooooooo a lot has happened to the car since my last update [emoji85][emoji85] so I'll be updating soon as to how it is now [emoji4]

They are the same. Only difference are between GTI clocks and VR6 ones.

I have removed all the cam bearing caps and they are showing signs of slight wear. I am just waiting on a bore mic to check they are still within spec. Other than that I am just working on borrowing a leak down tester to make sure I haven't done any lasting damage to the cylinders. Just crossing fingers and toes that I can just throw a new cam in it and it will be all good. Worst case scenario it has scrapped the block and the head, if thats happened i think I will be calling it a day!!!

Great, this will save me a fortune. Thanks again!

Niceee

Lol yeah mate only stumbled on this post while looking for parts

Thanks for the help Pete, closest I could find on ECP is this? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/antifreeze-and-screenwash/red-antifreeze/?523770521&0&cc5_866 order x2 as its already diluted i'm assuming? Cheers, Stuart

Cheers mate I presume you were the eBay seller?

I know the feeling of being stabbed by them. Also don't cut braided hoses with a saw buddy, all the end's fray like mad. Even if you do tape it up. Use a decent pair of heavy duty snips. Or a braided hose cutter. Thats how I cut mine anyway, I learnt not to uses a saw after making my first one.

Added you mate. It's a quality show. [emoji106]

Glad your happy with it! [emoji108]

Finally thought I'd get on here and confirm I'm going to be coming along

Ok change in direction! Going N/A keeping it simple for track use.

Cheers Cabbs. Times the flow rate by 10 to get a rough estimate of max hp rates here - it's actually more like times by 9-11 which depends on the efficiency of your set up but use as a guide. EDIT; Oldy ref!

Nice man, braided hoses are much better There not to hard to make your self, with slight different fittings. You could of made them with a vice, AN fittings, and a spanner. It's not to hard, I've made loads for my air ride, external oil cooler, power steering.

I'll run too.

This is just a general rant about the number of people on here who waste your time. I was under the impression that this was a 'club', and therefore that people would generally relate to each other and be helpful to their fellow VR6ers. I have to say that this hasn't been my experience over the past 12 months or so. People post parts for sale, I reply to their message on the forum... then nothing. So I tried PM'ing people instead... nothing. So I tried contacting the mobile numbers on listings.... ignored. Texts, phone calls, you name it - no reply. Alternatively I'm offered some BS abou
