    you're all wrong people....1's are nicer.

    never let it drop below 4000rpm. always change gear at 6250rpm. always trail brake into corners to get the weight transfer compensating for the heavy engine.

    so these are really only suitable for use with R32 style lights then? what about MOT time?

    thats a bit pricey...you can get eibach with koni adjustables for £425 from awesome gti. my fav's at the mo are bilstein sprintline (about £300)...awesome ride quality. koni/eibach is good tho, and is also damping adjustable.

    i bought my h/g from ecp or gsf...came in an elring packet, but had victor reinz writen all over the gasket! lol

    what grill is that? looks like a polo mkIV one!

    1's i reckon. they look cleaner, the 3's are way too cluttered with bolts everywhere.

    my current fav is bilstein sprintline. you could get a set of those, and some eibach uprated anti roll bars for that money, just.

    a good h/g to go for is the mkIV 12v vr6 one (not 24v, 12v mkIV's are rare tho). don't think we got the car in this country though, so it may have to be sent in from abroad. PhatVr6 raves about them, and he got one sent from somwhere. think it alters the compression fractionally as well.

    an oil/filter change every 5000 miles is a good way to go. make sure your plug leads are in good condition as well.

    well, he just got fired form his team in the IRL (indycars), so prob a good thing you're not him! lol

    two actually (look at that image i sent you a min ago), and the top chain cover has to be removed to change it.
  15. acf8181
    told you there were plenty around! lol
  16. acf8181
    yep..altho i do always hesitate at when the cross over is. think its pretty much dec 30 1995 tho. lol
  17. acf8181
    yeah, it should be fine. just seen your username...you're not the racing driver mark taylor are you?
  18. acf8181
    nice one...PM me

    only '92 cars (or very very early '93) have dizzy's...so 95% of vr6's are coilpack. '92-'95 = obd1 '96-'98 = obd2

    if anyone of you wants to sell me your old airbag wheel (providing itsa in A1 condition, and the airbag is functioning fine), pm me.

    don't wanna loose them...but i have them on my car (see sig). loads go on ebay they're not that rare. i paid £100 for mine, but upto £150 seems a good price (dependent on tyres). oh, and they were standard on all highlines and gti colour concepts. was also a 4 stud version as an option on top end mkIV polo's, but they're rare.

    Breaking VR6

    acf8181 replied to a topic in General Chat

    thats weird...either the guy saying he's breaking it has 'borrowed' the pic to get more attention, or something fishy is going on. i e-mailed him asking for pics of the interior...no reply yet.
  23. acf8181
    yep, put a manual box in instead. ; ) but seriosuly, prob best to use it as a manual (start in 1st, then go to 2nd at 6200rpm, then drive, etc.) biggets prob is you need to stay over 4000rpm, and theres no way you can do that setting off.
  24. acf8181
    honestly people can be so cruel should've added i tend to get more than my fair share of looks from the opposite sex! lol

    may be ok re-using the original one. [ Edited Thu Jul 01 2004, 11:12AM ]
