Hold on I know this car!!

I bolted my Rotrex charger kit on in an afternoon and it makes around 300bhp, I could take it off and sell it for what it owes me in the same day I reckon, that's what I like about Superchargers.

I recognise this! Hopefully that's mike Soltisik joined the Oc at last!!!!

My standard vr6

Fitted new steering wheel today the old one has done 115,000 miles and is looking rather tired.


Removed air bag. What a nightmare to get out, in the end I had to resort to google.

OMP 350mm suede WRC with mid dish.


Initial reports are feels strange being slightly smaller than standard but the suede is much nicer to touch than the worn polished leather.

Greedy bitch!! hahaha

I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too being as this post seems to have drawn much interest!!!!! Mine!!!

Looks like@bennyk was fastest finger first here. Get to the back of the cue you slow coaches. Lol.

Hi Guys
 
Come one, someone must be interested!
 
Let me know or it is destined for the crush, which I think would be a shame.
 
Main bodywork in good condition....
 
Thanks

I did something against my religion this week and paid someone else to do something on the VR, I had the gear and my US hand brake gaiter's re-trimmed in alcantara to match the seat centre's. I was looking at changing the gear gaiter and knob but I really like the oe full leather ones and I'm really pleased with the outcome, the only problem is that I'm now looking at other parts of the interior wondering what else I could get done!

I'll have these if they haven't sold, take it they're mk3 golf and not corrado?

Looks awesome bud!  Come a long bloody way this beast!

A bit more work done this afternoon. Engine sounded proper funky on start up. Was nearly match in tank time. However she come good in the end.
Fitted some Samco hoses that where on the donor car I bought and two window regulators sorted. So all I am waiting on is carpets and interior a wheel that's with the repairers and its MOT time I hope. More importantly detailing time as she is filthy and its hurting me to look at it in this state.


Cheers for popping in! ?

Couple of pics from Waterstock. Glad the rain held off. Enjoyed the day. Cheers guys.

A little update to this after nearly 3 years of taking it easy on the slightly iffy clutch, one of the reasons I got it so cheap but changing the bushes on the pedal made it a lot better and 2 years of having a gearbox fitted with a Quaife diff lying around in my shed I finally gave in and got a new clutch and the other box into the car. I cleaned painted and changed all of the seals on it a while ago, Then decided to just get it done on the drive as I'd be waiting forever to get a spare ramp at work and I hate being there when I don't have to beSome shiny new parts, Got this one to try to help me but he was as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike when it came to lifting the gearbox back in!! Then after finally getting the box back in for the 2nd time don't ask! On the Saturday afternoon before the VR6oc rolling road day on the Sunday it all worked!! She drove perfectly on the way to Stealth on the Sunday morning, a nice clear A14 on a nice bright morning ; She ran a slightly disappointing 279bhp due to some belt slip, but good to know there's a bit more in her! Was really stoked to pick up Mod's car of the day! So nice to get some recognition for the car after all the hours I've put into it. Especially after originally buying it as a spares or repairs slightly rough old thing from eBay! Thanks guys!!
Then today over 2 years of driving the VR and with missus only ever being in the car once since being back on the road after the repaint and me getting it stuck on a slight raised row of cobbles backing out of the inlaws driveway when she did finally come in it! I persuaded her to come with me to the Autofinesse Show & Shine which was conveniently only 10 mins from where we live and in a lovely old pub in a pretty village, I turned up a bit late and because we'd brought the little one with us had to leave early, but as I went to make a move I was asked to wait for 10 minutes and to my and the other halfs surprise (she just doesn't get it!) I'd won something! Which happened to be 1st place!! Won't need to buy any cleaning gear for a while now!!

Took the VR to Players Classic this weekend, was an absolutely brilliant show with a great mix of cars, on show and on track, it's also at Goodwood which is a beautiful place! Can't wait until next year, a highly recommended show! Also got a couple of 'proper' pics of the car taken;
