  1. Depends on how you drive... driving to work at a steady 40-60mph I get 30-35mpg but if you floor it that goes down quite rapidly
  2. absolutely... the charger is just there to pull along all the chrome!
  3. the transmission losses and extra weight means it's slower than a standard VR once you're on the move
  4. nik saran has had a couple I think
  5. I think they just open up the back and weld a plate across a 2.8 manifold to make it like a 2.9 or is there more to it than that? vwvortex will be the place to find out but it wont make anywhere near the difference a schrick will
  6. do a search on yell.com for powder coaters in your area. what you had done to get 220bhp then?
  7. nice... another syncro to add to the club! Was that the one that was on ebay a while back?
  8. technically one et is 3mm different to the other and one J is 1/2" wider than the other
  9. no use a jet wash... I just wrapped the coilpack in cling film and put some towels over the main polished stuff and blasted the f*ck out of everything else! Just use common sense and avoid electrical bits and you'll be fine
  10. thats what I did with my new rims he's now called pureKlass though
  11. I got a quote for that clear paint shield stuff and its about £500! you should be able to find a bumper & bonnet bra on ebay... I think the company that does them is called goingfast.de

    Im having to drive mine to work every day now and Im getting 35mpg but am having to show great restraint... none of it is on motorways either
  13. if you're going to get them laquered you may as well get the same person to refurb them
  14. ok remove the laquer with paint stripper then starting with 120 grit wet n dry remove any imperfections in the alloy then go through the grades removing EVERY scratch left by the previous grade until you get to 2000. Then you need a set of polishing mops (www.frost.co.uk) read the instructions and start buffing... when you can see your face in them, stop. It took me nearly 10 hours a wheel just to do the cut outs so patience is the order of the day
  15. FFS the answer is already in this thread and you still got it wrong!!!!!!!!!! as for highlines there wasnt afaik a limited run of them
  16. yes lhd is the same... make sure its the right year
  17. only on the later ones same as other golfs
  18. yeah whatever... get on with the printing short arse
  19. now online in the show gallery www.phatdubs.co.uk
  20. couple of them are members on here... they were at E38 last year
  21. you want 205 40 17 not 45... ebay was the cheapest I could find for toyos
