    Hi Marco - I was planning on heading up on Sunday, but my sister 'kindly' reminded me that it was my nephews first birthday party (like he's going to notice that I'm not there!!!) and its down in peebles. Might try and do both but at the moment undecided. Will look out for you if I do go though.

    Same case with mine - a little poetic license excercised I think. Not too bad but certainly not the final draft either - and I wasn't overly keen on the photo's they selected. Shouldn't grumble though.....

    I'll be going down again this year - probably Sunday as well. Conoy would be good if we can get it arranged.

    Rev counter

    Corr28VR6 replied to Corr28VR6's topic in Interior

    Cheers, guys - just wanted to make sure it was as simple as that! I've never actually been in a genuine VR6 so wasn't sure of cluster dimensions etc. Thanks again.

    Rev counter

    Corr28VR6 posted a topic in Interior

    Hi Folks, Hoping you can give me some advice...... When I got my engine conversion done I had stuck with the original dash etc (1.8 16V Raddo). Obviously the rev counter has been disconnected because it would not be giving an accurate reading, and to start with this didn't bother me. I now want a rev counter that works!! How do I go about this?? Will I need to try and swap in an entire Corrado or Golf VR6 dash, or is there some way of isolating the rev counter 'clock' and swapping the individual units over? Any suggestions gratefuly received. Cheers, Derek

    Mine'll do 100 if I take it up to just before the limiter

    Wheel bearings tend to give a knocking noise and you can normally feel some feedback of the knock through the steering wheel so it doesn't sound like that is your problem. Check your brake disc shields - after a while the tend to corrode (or they certainly did on mine) split, and can end up rubbing on the back of the disc

    Thats a bad one mate. They are taking the Piss - for a start if there is a big variance in the original quote then I would imagine that they are obligated to seek your approval before going ahead with the job. I'd maybe speak to Citizens advice and see what they say. I'm in Edinburgh as well and have in the past thought about using Autowerke - I don't think I'll bother now.

    I'm probably a little (more than a little if the truth be told) biased, but I just love the look of the Corrado. Never driven a VR6 Golf so can't really comment on the driveability etc. Corrado's really are no use as passenger cars so if your just after a car for you and one other then defo go with the raddo.

    If you want a bodykit for your Raddo give Superspeed a call on 0131 316 4200 - speak to Charlie. They can supply kits from Reiger, Mattig, Seidl and a few others. I can appreciate you wanting to have a unique Raddo. I think their website is www.superspeed-carstyling.co.uk

    Hi Folks, When I had the VR6 lump dropped in my Corrado it was left with the original fuel pump (1.8 16V version). The fuel pump has now started to leak a little (well it is 15 years old!!) and was wondering whether I should replace it with a VR6 fuel pump or stick to the valver pump?? Is there any differences? Someone had said to me that you could use one off an 8valve GTI? Also, by the looks of it when I go to change the fuel pump I think everything around it will disintegrate - so am also looking to replace the Accumulator and Fuel pipes. Does anyone have the VAG part number for the acc

    A big ol waste of cash in my opinion

    Highflowheads have started doing a stage five head that includes bigger inlet and exhaust valves.......seriously thinking about it!
  17. Corr28VR6
    Yeah, its 6 litres for a VR6 oil change.

    LOL - hairdryer is a good comparison - pretty much the same function.

    Alright folks, A mate of mine sent me this link today http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ - the clue is in the title. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys had heard of this - personally I'm not convinced but thought I'd see what you guys thought.

    Dastek in Dalgety Bay have an excellent set up - well worth a call. They are the main agent in Scotland for the unichip. I've got all the contact details at home, but will bring them in tomorrow and post them up.

    Petrol prices

    Corr28VR6 replied to jte's topic in General Chat

    Yeah it is getting a wee bit scary. The best part is, Americans are moaning about paying $1.75 a GALLON. Shows how much we are shafted here in Britain

    One of my mates (well more a friend of a friend) has a VTS and after reading the last post on this subject (admittedly I was a little surprised at what I was hearing) I decided that the next time I bumped into him we would have a bit of a razz. Done now, and I just wasn't that impressed. Yeah they are quite quick off the line but by then end of second I was starting to pull away and through third it was all over. Doesn't prove or disprove anything but thought I'd chuck in my 2 pence worth anyway.

    if peak torque is at 1750rpm, does this mean that the optimum gear change would be about 3500-4000rpm?? Not a very long power band? Am i right in saying that BHP is worked out by multiplying the torque figure by the revs and dividing that figure by 5252??

    If the bike didn't get a 'proper launch away then I believe Mina would have kept pace with them - I was on the back of my mates GSXR the other night ( its a V. quick bike) and an M3 came along side us(they put out about 320BHP right??) and from 40 to 135 the M3 stuck right by our side (it was on a dual carriageway) then to my shock, started pulling away from us!!!!!! Boy are dem M3's quick.

    acf8181 - Not all MOT stations will take the car out for a drive, and if they choose not to they prob won't notice and u should be OK, otherwise it'll depend on just how tight they are.
