    Lots of people on VWVortex have done this conversion. Do a search on this forum: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=38 And you should find everything you need to know. You say you're looking at a VR6 Auto as the donor car. Does this mean you're wanting to retain the auto box? If you want a manual box, you're better off using a manual VR6 as the donor car. I speak from experience here!!

    I'm liking that!!! Awesome looking engine bay. I'm going green with envy here!! Is the V9 Charger really super quiet like Vortech say it is? At what RPM do you start to hear it?

    A really silly question for those of you with sub boxes in the boot. What do you use to stop them moving around? Velcro? Straps? Bolts? Mine is sliding around like a good 'un and it's gonna get damaged unless I do something about this!!

    I've just seen this on MP3Car Is this a cool installation or what?

    I've seen it done. As long as your tweeters are the right diameter, it's just a matter of removing the stock tweets (they're held in by plastic clips), cutting away any plastic inside the hole that's in your way, then glueing the tweeter mount into the hole. Tweeter then screws into the mount.

    Agreed, 10W/40 semi synthetic is a safe choice.

    I use Synta Gold fully synthetic 5W-40 in my engine and it works lovely.

    I wouldn't bother with the 330i. Good performance, but looks way to bland. If you want a Beemer, save up for an E46 M3. You can pick these up for less than

    How nice does the new R32 sound? :-)

    No problem as long as you include the pics of that very nice blue cabrio!! !lol

    Once you have a Dastek fitted, you can remap at any time for the cost of a rolling road session. No soldering is required with the Dastek, it is a complete supplemental ECU that just taps into the main ECU's wiring harness. I paid

    Gearbox damage probably caused by VW's dodgy diff pins. This guy has a recently rebuilt gearbox for sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-VR6-ENGINE_W0QQitemZ4599950418QQcategoryZ9889QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Are you sure the damage to your engine isn't repairable?

    I took a few pics from the rolling road day on the 18th. http://photobucket.com/albums/a174/antera309/VR6OC%20RR%20Day%202005/ Did anyone else get any pics? (p)

    Most likely one or more wheels need balancing or one of your wheels has been deformed by a kerb impact ("square wheel" syndrome). Get 'em checked out at a tyre place.

    I like the auto-links for things like "Stealth Racing". I think we should have links with little pop-up descriptions for commonly-used terms too, like the ones on www.the-corrado.net

    C2Motorsports, are you now seeking a new UK supplier or are you waiting for the outstanding issues with Ultimatetune to be resolved first? Did you ever approach Stealth Racing? They are an extremely professional outfit (see dozens of threads on here as a testimony).

    If you fit an cone filter without a heatshield then what fritzenburg says is true. The filter draws in hotter, less dense air from inside the engine bay and actually loses you power, as opposed to the standard airbox which draws cool air from inside the front wing. The BMC CDA has it's own built-in heatshield which gets around this problem, but you have to fit the cold air feed pipe and route it down to the front bumper to get the full benefit. Doing this a "force feeds" the filter with nice cold air at speed. This makes a real difference to throttle response at motorway speeds. I would lik

    It's a coolant pipe. It carries coolant from the top of the cylinder head to the heater matrix behind the dashboard.

    That's the thing. Vince knows pretty much everything about VR6s and in the event of BHP figures coming out low, he's damn good at offering advice at what might be wrong. The only problem with Stealth is that their rolling road doesn't do 4wd. It's a good job the club doesn't have that many 4Motion or R32 owners yet!

    It is pretty obvious that Robert is either unwilling or unable to refund what has been paid to him. What a mess. Here is the website for UK Consumer Trading Standards: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/consumers/consumers.cfm
