I'm coming from the South coast, 115 miles for me. Its not a meet, its an event! Get yourself down and get on the rollers!

It will be worth it to meet the fellow members, visit stealth, and listen to the gates of hell open up on the rollers .

Well said pal.... Daveyboy stop penny pinching and get your arse down there. 2.20mins for me. But even further as I'm going the day before to the neck of Bealieboy. Lol.

Ooof!! £185 for the BMC filter head. Any difference in noise between foam and fabric cones? Listen to me posting in "I want to make my car louder" thread, what a fcukin child! haha

I have a cone on my VR and it makes no noise! Might be because it is turbo'd. My Lads Lupo has a BMC on it and that sounds great, it is shit slow but it sounds great

Well i have my 79 T/a, I was goin to build a chevy engine for it but my family has done that plenty of times so i decided to do somethen different i built the oldsmobile 403 that came with it. Its just a street build runs 12s in 1/4 but all thats left now is to paint it and thats not my favorite thing to do lol so i havnt got to it yet. But as a family we help build each others cars.

Hello everyone , I have recently aquired the best car i have ever driven. It has cost me as the coil pack was faulty(£175) and needed all round springs and shocks(£350) the rear calipers were seized(£250) most of the cat was in the tail box(£185) the air bag light was on and the abs did not work(£?). But saying all that this little car puts the biggest smile (grin) on my face. The vr6 golf is just an awesome bit of kit. It is an old one 1996 vintage. I had to remove the tint from the front windows to drive it and adjust the suspension height as there are major speed humps where i live. I woul

So I take it that means about 110 miles for me then Bealieboy? I hope the weathers nice! I'll get all jittery if the VR comes out in rain!!

Cheers matey

I had a weird intermittent taping from front end, left hand side of engine. My also had the same issue on his old mk3 and turned out to be a bearing on the water pump, or one of the bearings down in that areA. I gave the bearings in that area a little squire with wd40 and it went away. Worth a try!

Pm to Mistline, he'll give you a very current opinion! [emoji2]

I fancy a bmc cda I just dont like the price lol

Welcome buddy.. I know the 4mo VR6 inside out so if there's anything you wanna know, modifying or otherwise just holla.!! I'm not always on hear but I do check in every couple of weeks to see what's cooking... Anyway your in good hands with this bunch of fanatical OCD weirdoes lol, so you'll pretty much always get a response from one of us[emoji106]

Have you got a link mate?

i sent request, il help anyway i can. idk how available parts are outside of usa but i imagine there not very common so i can deff help with that.

Very nice line up!Ive grown up around American cars and have had a few myself.Had a 1953 Buick Special straight 8,1982 Plymouth Gran Fury LAPD Police car with the 5.7 in,a horrible 72 Chevy Vega Kammback in kermit the frog green and a 71 Ford LTD Shooting Brake with he 351 Cleveland engine in. They were all many moons ago and ive been into VW's after a little Jap fetish. Im currently building a 3.0 vr6 Turbo build which is fully forged and is costing me a damn fortune to make it perform and look nice but it will beworth it. However,im getting the itch for a v8 again so when this is finished it

Do away with the air con and get a shorter belt.

A picture from when i bought the Golf back in 2005. Since then there have been a massive overhauling that more or less ended with new paint 2010, L041 incl clearcoat. Over the years i have: -rebuilt the head -timing chains -painted gearbox -changed heater matrix -changed interior for the Edition -Cab mirrors -shaved side repeaters -shaved spray nozzels on the hood -shaved emblem/wiper trunk -changed headlight x3 -rewrapped all cables around the motor -changed rear lights x4 -changed all glass in the car to CL glass, no tint -shaved schrick manifold, all internal refurbished -2,9 throttlebody

Welcome along Tim good too see you've signed up as member mate. Like Dan said there's a few people on her to watch out for lol. You won't get any grief from me. I try and calm the girls down [emoji23]

I practically live in mine great quality and mega warm in winter [emoji106]

Looking good bud! The US splitter IS shallower, but it's also deeper too, meaning it wont fit a euro golf bumper, unless the splitter is cut down Alternatively, you could get a Vento bumper, as they are the same proportions as the bigger US bumpers

Look for OBD1 VR6 out of a Corrado or 1993-1994 Passat. They come with Forged Cranck from factory, and dual chain/Sprockets. They will hold more than OBD2 motors but you can switch to OBD2 wirring and all. They are 2.8L. Thats what i have always went for when Turbo them.

Welcome. What hot rod stuff have you built? I come from a yank background myself and as soon as im done building my vr6turbo in my Golf I'm moving it on to get back onto yanks. We may be able to help each other out ha ha.

They are running R32s with an AUE ECU? Cars like the R32 have little value over here because of the stupid cost of fuel. We don't have cheap E85 like you guys.
