  1. Id better crack open a bottle of wine then... well maybe after work!
  2. yeah the carbon filter is a cylinrical shaped thing with 2 hoses on the top, you should be able to see the top of it under the front of your airbox... it filters out most of the bad stuff from the fuel line and recirculates the rest... its only actually neccesary for US emission laws Ive taken mine out to make room for a cold air duct!
  3. cheers rick phat28vr6 explained it to me last nite... If I understood right I need to remove the breather pipe and plug the hole it leaves in the air intake then leave the right arrowed pipe in place but block it where it used to join the breather pipe (where u can see the silver clip) not forgetting to fit the breather filter!
  4. Colchester... havent translated it though
  5. I think thats just the picture.... personally I prefer crytal mk4s on a mulberry highline
  6. If I remove the breather tube coming out of the cam cover.... the connector, which does seem to be attached, and the hoses arrowed are all joined to it... what do I do with them? apologies in advance if Im being dim
  7. +VAT! definitely the way forward just cant afford one! ~
  8. ah right... I had my gti steam cleaned came up a treat
  9. there should be somewhere near you that'll steam clean it
  10. I thought superchips were off the shelf chips, ie not remappable? I have to admit I was surprised by the figures as well!
  11. When you fit a breather filter (like the 1 in phat28vr6's gallery) what do you do with the electrical connector fitted to one of the pipes you remove and what does it do?
  12. I wouldnt go for springs only... because the shorter stiffer springs wont be matched to the standard shocks meaning the ride will be awful and the shocks will wear out quicker (trust me I did it on my first gti!) you can get uprated shocks and springs kits for as little as £150ish (raceland.co.uk) which will do the job, should cost about £50 to get em fitted... dont expect too much though because you get what you pay for IMO
  13. thats a bonus then! excellent power for a na VR... Id be interested in hearing more details of whats been done if you find out... for future reference! Its hard knowing which route to go down with VR tuning
  14. 231 bhp f*ck me thats good from just a chip.... whats this high pressure fuel pump? sounds like I need one of those! [ Edited Sun Oct 12 2003, 08:15PM ]
  15. halfords do a repair kit but dont know how good it is
  16. The shocks are koni so they are quality.... theyve been recommended to me by just about everyone (mine are on order at the moment!)
  17. Looks nice.... get them coilovers and ARBs it'll feel like a different car!
  18. Here's my 97 VR6 Highline... check the gallery for more pics! [ Edited ]
  19. If its been remapped you wont be able to tell by looking... getting it on a rolling road for a power run is the best way to tell
