    update for you guys mate is polishing up my inlet manifold, and its coming a long nicely. Spraying the inside of the runners black finished refurbing one wheel today, ready for priming and painting going to spray this up as a test wheel and see how it comes out. Pending how it turns out I will finish off the rest of the wheels, or if not, then I will be saving for a proper refurb Here are the red samco's as well...these were NOT cheap to say the least (£297.....) but will look awesome with the polished mani once it goes on. next up will be covering the top of my airbox in carbon (anothe

    Managed to get some pics today to show off some of the work so far De-wipered debadged All dashboard buttons pulled out at the moment, currently with a friend who is covering the faces in carbon Shows what a quick 20 mins of polishing the bits in the bay does. Really bought up the bits nicely Fresh new coolant bottle (as it had split from a previous issue of over heating), and polished up the piece next to it as well Part Cleaned engine bay. Sprayed inlet manifold to be fitted soon, but my mate who is doing the carbon bits is also polishing the runners Front fogs lamin-x'd And a pictu

  8. Tony20vturbo

  9. Tony20vturbo
    Well a few updates Debadged her (might be re-adding the badges though but covered in real carbon) pulled out most of the dashboard buttons (the blank ones) and my mate is covering them in real carbon Won a cat back Miltek exhaust system (oval tail pipe) which is getting fitted on Monday Lamin-x the fog lightts Got an inlet manifold. It turned up and it was already painted to a really high standard, anthracite, so my mate is just polishing the runners for me cut out the plastic insert on the VR airbox, so it is less restrictive now and got a green panel air filter fitted too Polished all the me

    Is that Storm Developments next to Reading mate? They are awesome. Use to get a lot of work done their when I worked in reading with my Leon Cupra top notch service

    what wheels are those mate, not seen them before?
  12. Tony20vturbo
    where did you get the bonnet lifters mate? ebay? do they lift the bonnett high enough because I have had similar looking bonnet struts in the past and they were rubbish and did not lift the bonnet high enough?
  13. Tony20vturbo
    well I managed to get a blinding deal and got a cat back Mitlek system for £185 from fleabay! really chuffed with it and getting it fitted on Monday (oval tail pipe)
  14. Tony20vturbo
    Looking to get a new exhaust for my VR, but which one Miltek springs to mind, but they are very pricey, and to be honest, from some of my friends cars, their build has been questionable lately Saw a lovely sound clip of a remus system. Anyone use this on their VR? Failing that, it might be the custom route, and a straight through system, but I think this may be too loud, which is what I don't want (non resonated)

    thanks mate, I might consider that What are the gains like (apart from more noise) to do the decat? although I thought it was illegal for anything newer than a 93 year old car to run a decat? only thing with a decat is less back pressure, and this isn't one of the torqueist (if such a word!) type engines....

    Hi All, Well I got my new project the other day. Just for weekends and the occasional bit of fun. My daily is a slammed B5.5 Passat TDI 130 (coilies, stickers, mapped etc). I have been into my dubs for the last 10 years, Having owned a MK2 Ibiza GTI, MK3 Ibiza Cupra, MK3 Golf Valver, Leon cupra, all tuned to a silly amount of power, I sold the leon cupra (gutted), due to petrol prices. Passat is now all paid off and I wanted something fun again, so I picked this up the other day MK3 Golf VR6, 113K on the clock. Paint despite a few scuffs is in very good condition, and looks like it has been

    is this the correct housing? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-MK3-GOLF-CORRADO-PASSAT-VR6-THERMOSTAT-HOUSING-/140524906018?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b7efe622 I am guessing I would need a gasket which goes between this and the block? Thanks
  18. Tony20vturbo
    thanks mate Sensor seems fine, its just leaking very slightly from this, so I guess the clip and rubber seal round this has perished
  19. Tony20vturbo
    Thanks guys Anyone know what the brown sensor is plugged into the bottom right hand corner of the block?
  20. Tony20vturbo
    Hi Guys I bought a VR6 the other day and it has got an overheating issue, it also has a slight leak First problem: I have done some searching on overheating, and it appears it is the thermostat, as the coolant is staying as it should (therefore not just disappearing which suggests a head gasket issue), but it just gets hotter and hotter, to the point where the coolant is starting to smell burnt Where is the best place to get a replacement thermostat? some people say Awesome GTI as the ones from GSF are badly built, leak and fail. If so, is this the right one: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/produ
