Just to say i had a great day! Was well organised and it was great to meet so many friendly, like minded people. Didnt start off too well as Vince's little helper chipped my wheel on the lift, and then i was given a list of ABS faults, but they were really good about my damaged wheel and have paid for its repair. The 190 bhp put a smile on my face too! Ive got a load of pics here but having difficulty uploading em into the gallery, anyone help? Hope everyone else enjoyed it, and no one got caught by the speed trap heading south!!

Highline with extra horse's, sez my mate???
Macca replied to VR6Andy's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
There's only one way to settle this: get a load of highlines and non-highlines and thrash them out on the same rolling road....... I'll see you Sunday 8o) -
God, reminds me when i was told i needed a new speed sensor, also referred to by different people as cam position sensor, crank position sensor, hall sensor, hall sender, phase sensor..... They'd just try to sell me anything!

Ive bought some zymol polish just for the occasion, whether or not i get round to using it is another matter.

Yeah well done Pete, its a great site! The club should go from strength to strength as the word spreads

Car: 2800 (inc wheels + susp) grill: 40 rear lights: 100 exhaust: 280 ram-air: 90 clear repeaters: 10 brakes: 150 GRAND TOTAL: £3,470 Quite pleased with that , plenty left for a turbo! lets not count petrol, insurance, car tax, servicing.....

I love my supersprint, cost the same as your milltek, but im sure yours is good too! have only heard good things about milltek, i think theyre quite quiet tho.

I like them, havent seen them on a golf before either, so youre being original

Mine aren't actual corrado ones, but similar 5 spoke speedlines: cant post up other pics, have a look in my gallery [ Edited Mon Feb 09 2004, 01:54PM ]

I tried removing plastic arch trim but had a few problems: 1: paint was scratched underneath the plastic, where the arches edge had dug in. Paint renovator and polish was never going to work so i tried sanding down and repainting a small part, but the line remained under the paint. I think you'd have to get a body shop to do this properly. 2: Getting the buggers back on requires special rivets from VW which are cheap but you need a rivet gun, which i dont have. I just bought some plastic 'pins' and botched them in with screws. 3: i found plenty of side strips from cl/gl models in a scra

I love mine too! Am i supposed to clean it, re-oil it at some point?

I was talking about a separate piece of tubing, to run from the bottom grille, supplying cold air to the filter. The problem is squeezing it in the small space available.
-
I bought one for £90, didnt come with any tubing, but i already had some i got from halfords for £10 a while ago. Its made by green cotton filters

Im sure VR6Pete would like to hear from u if u would like your car featured, send him a PM

Just wanted to share: had a Ram-air filter fitted today and OMG my car sounds awesome! with my exhaust it keeps 'popping' loads on the overrun and HOWLS at above 4000revs. can be a right hassle this car, but just now i love it!!

Got my ATE power discs fitted along with Pagid fast road pads all round and....... not a lot of difference. Might they just need bedding in for a few days?

Lol nick

Im getting pagid fast road pads with ATE grooved discs fitted today, ill let u know how they do! got the pads from german and swedish

See those two bolts labelled #4, they are absolute CUNTS and i hate them ~ ~
-
Im not pretending to be at all knowledgable about this, but turbocharging might be another option to consider. You can certainly get HUGE power down this route but i know nothing of costs and reliability.
-
How come you have decided to sell it?
-
Had my tracking done last week. Apparently it was way out. They straightened the wheels and it drives a lot better, but the steering wheel always points right now!
-
Yeah i was thinking cream too. I have the dark blue interior that people dont like, but i reckon it'd look sweet with a bit of creamy leather. Prices seem to range from 300-1K depending how much u want covered.
-
Think ive seen ram-air for about 70, if theyre the big fat ones im thinking of theyre pretty cool
-
I'll let you know if i find anything, im also looking for somewhere that can re-trim my seats in leather.
