Was gonna bump up my first post but it's been archived I think as it was there 7 days ago. But 10 yrs in this forum yay me

Only one that is of concern is this But ill run them and see what happens Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Rides really well, firm but not crashy compared to previous (tired) JOM coilovers that were fitted.

Get some more up later. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I'll throw a few pics up of what has been done :-) And that is how it's sits waiting for paint :-)

Naturally you should put your own health first before the car, but if you still get enjoyment out of driving it then worth keeping if you can get those jobs sorted. the body work will cost the lot, but as long as it is mechanically sound then you can still enjoy it and send to bodyshop to fix up the body?

Nice one craggsy, you'd get less time for manslaughter!

hi all has anyone got a set of 83mm low comp pistons for sale for the golf mk3 vr6 2.8 looking to rebuild my bottom end

But full respect for not throwing towel in with all the frustration simon

Not bad for a 50 quid punt ay Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

That's what I'm trying to do. Before spending £££££ on it for power and cosmetics I want to know it's right mechanically.

Yeah I will do but haven't got the money for the map after buying the car and getting it on the road etc. I'll be keeping the 2.9 tb to put on at a later date.

I've done a 3rd gear rolling drag with Mistline and he beats me hands down with that rado inlet and tb. Get it mapped properly and you'll be laughing!

Well guys the coolant hoses have arrived from China. First impressions I don't think the build quality is too sad. I will get some pics up later tonight of the thickness of the pipe walls etc Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks mate, its a complete down to the last nut and bolt top and bottom end built up Low Comp. engine so I'm currently still running it in, before the bigger 630 Siemens injectors and final mapping, so no idea on full potential yet. Looking forward to seeing what Vince at Stealth can get out of it though as its now a Vortech Stage 2 charger set up. Was running 288bhp on the Z-Engineering charger and standard engine before. Cheers Pete, feel like a right Newbie! Running it in is so painful, tempted to just hire a rolling road for a couple of hours, lol. Wheels are RH ZW1's originally

Blast from the past! Always liked the VR way back when

Good work Simon you must have been tempted to sell it more than once.

Glad to see you still have this! I remember reading your full build thread, years ago on E38 one of my first mk3 inspirations to take my car further!

Stunning car

Hi Simon, what are those wheels fella? Your car looks and sounds ace.

Nice motor!!! Sounds amazing[emoji106] what bhp is it??

all done and purchased, paid the paypal fees to cover my ass!!

Couple of pics of how it sits at the mo Stopping the rollered paint ready for a proper coat of paint :-) Inside feeling sorry for its self New boost gauge Cutting some weight out of the doors plus prepping for polycarbonate And hopefully my engine will be back this week :-)
