  1. My favourite option at the moment is a recon 2.9 bottom end im not interested in forged pistons, my head was rebuilt so just need the block.Im keeping the car.What do you think? Does anyonev know where i can get a recon bottom end from??
  2. could be the linkage on top of the box its the bit that the cables connect to mines crap
  3. they fit fine although u may not be able to fit the heatshaild its a great mod imho
  4. the headgasket is the usual cause of this ps water temp staying at 90 degrees is exactly what its supposed to do
  5. no comp test but its started bein a bit smokey when cold (started yesterday) and its using oil still pulls like a good un i think its in earlyish stages but have been reliably informed the rings are on there way out
  6. im currently searching for recon 2.9 blocks but cant really find any and i dont know whos good
  7. are 2nd hand pistons ok ie bore a knackered 2.8 block to 2.9 get new rings and old 2.9 pistons?
  8. i agree but the mk5 looks alot better in the flesh than on tv
  9. lol iv got no chance in hell of buyin any of that although the 2.9 piston set looks decent value
  10. i beleive the inlet manifold is the reason the 2.9 is qouted higher bhp it flows beter at high revs
  11. yes its a popular mod on its own itl probably just bugger the fuelling up due to overfuelling but iirc on big power vrs its recomended for the extra fuelling
  12. mint tahnks will go there next week' date=' do i say 'eat this' sent me?? lol they will think im crazier than i already am, the only thing wrong with the engine other than this is the misfire which i'll sort by changing the plugs and leads - fingers crosssed:) oh yeah and the exhaust pops but i like that hehe will this place in stoke do me a vagcom thingy??? thanks everyone for ya help it really is appreciatted! [/quote'] yes say eatthis sent u theyl laugh but they do know me my cars goin in there tomorow lol most vr exhausts pop its great hehe they dont have vagcom but i think they know a loc
  13. so it uses the brakes instead of pulling fuelling/dropping throttle?
  14. i think my piston rings are showing early signs of wear the head was rebuilt 8-9k ago new valve seals chains tappets and cams etc the car runs absolutely spot on (i mean REALLY nice smooth as hell and pulls clean from tickover it sure as hell isnt losing any power (14.6 1/4 mile tells me that) its using more oil than id like prob 1l every 2.5-3k (it was using 1l per 1k but new oil pump 1500 miles ago settled it down) i went to london saturday 400 mile round trip at rather high speed for long periods and it used 1/2 a litre since having the pump done iv not seen any puffs of smoke in the mirror
  15. was it a type r? its a known fault with them the rear brakes are sensitive to heat and expand to much then contract after the handbrake is on allowing it to loosen off
  16. thought they clipped in?
  17. 3rd go less than a minute im normally crap lmao
  18. it was a remember where you were day thats for sure
