*P3nfold* 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I am already thinking about next years mods, and I am caught between Turbo or S/C. I said to Calico that S/C is for me but after looking around at cost blah. I am feeling the love for the Turbo route. Stealth do a really good deal on their Turbo conversion for the the money.So I guess the next thing to do is work out the cost of parts? So standby for lots more forum posts!!!

*P3nfold* 0 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Come on I got EBC Red Stuff Pads for the Fronts.I am going to get a Shrick Manifold off Calico and then decide whether is worth going down the Turbo route? I still have the dream for Porsche D90s in Magnum Grey with the coloured centres and changing the suspension to AP or Weitech Coilovers Link to post Share on other sites

*P3nfold* 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 EBC Red Stuff Pads for the Fronts fitted today, I got to say they look good and do the job. Only a 1000miles to bed them in.The braided hoses and pads have made a huge difference but I think it should be firmer! Link to post Share on other sites

*P3nfold* 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I fitted the D90's today pics belowNot feeling the love for the rear clusters so going back to standards for now! Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Its alive cannot believe it the coilpack had gone, thanks Tony for finding the issue and thanks Calico for letting me borrow his!!Still no Schrick fitted yet, G-Werks sent me the wrong gasket!!! Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Damn coilpack did not fix the issue, back to the drawing board. I bought a HT lead tool, so need to change the leads and plugs to see if that fixes the issue.D90's are off for the moment and running standard GTI rims due to the wheel bolts being 1mm too long so found a new set of 21mm to fit but will have to wait a month or so.Not all bad sold off my old suspension and rear cluster.Oh schrick still not fitted, got the new bits of G-Werks wrong manifold gasket so hopefully this weekend it will be on if not,I might sack it all and just be standard. Losing heart in the VR really quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
