    R36 Golf???

    antera309 replied to rodney's topic in General Chat

    Just buy a VR6 Syncro and use the existing gearbox & drivetrain... I'm assuming the 3.6 fits straight onto a VR6 gearbox like the 3.2 - I don't know a lot about the new engine other than the fact it uses a totally new block with a 10.6 degree vee (rather than 15 degrees in the VR, 2.8 24v & 3.2)

    I'm thinking about getting a set of RH ZW1s, but Tunershop don't quote prices on their website....
  3. antera309
    Where are you planning to buy these from?
  4. antera309
    I'll come!
  5. antera309
    Awesome! What have you got planned in the wheel department? Or would that be telling? LOL

    Awesome pics, Claire! Do you have the high-res version of that pic of my cabrio? If so, please could you email it to me at nick@it-rox.com. Cheers!

    Just resized the photos for ya. Nice motor! Are those dark brown leather seats or black ones? Difficult to tell in the pics!

    Got loads of photos from GTI Spring Festival this weekend: http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/antera309/GTI%20Spring%20Festival%202007/?start=all Enjoy!!

    Budget £3k for the lot and you can't go wrong.
  11. antera309
    Yep, time to get cracking and build something even better! With that rebult engine & box out of R4, you've got a sound base to work from. A Mulberry highline is the obvious choice, but how about a Syncro? I know of someone that might be selling one...

    Great pics Nick!

    Great show today. Didn't run the cabrio up the strip 'cos there wasn't a lot of point with a pretty much standard VR engine, but it was great to meet a few more of you this time around!

    The way I understand it, the 3.6 wasn't fitted to the mk5 because it was too big to go in the engine bay along with the huge DSG transmission. It would fit with a manual trasmission, but they won't do it as a manual version only because the Americans wouldn't buy it. Informed sources say that the spy shots in the original post are actually just a proposed facelift for the current R32, so let's not get too excited just yet!

    So sorry to hear about your mota, Pete. I know how much effort and heartache has been involved during the build of that car, and also know how much the 'ring charge people who bend their armcos. Gutted doesn't even cover it. Fair play to ya for putting such a brave face on things. I'd be crying my eyes out. Anyway, it's good to hear all the running gear is salvagable and I'm sure you'll be plopping it into another car very soon. Find yourself a dirt cheap VR with a popped engine, a couple of weekends with the spanners and an engine hoist and it's job done!

    Great show - we got lucky with the weather once again! I was really impressed with the turnout of cars on the VR6OC stand! Awesome! Had a really good time and it was great to meet everyone! Pics to follow in the Photos section....

    Same here. Looking lovely & shiny after PC polishing & 2 coats of NXT should just need a final buff when I get there. Looking forward to meeting you all! what time is everyone arriving?
  18. antera309
    Roof down tomorrow!! WOO-HOO!!
  19. antera309
    I'm 100% if there's a space for me.
  20. antera309
    Please put me down for the VR6OC stand for this one. I am 100%
  21. antera309
    Yep, there's a guide in our premium members section here: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?129894 Fitting is fairly straightforward and should be possible to do in a weekend.
  22. antera309
    I really like that idea!
  23. antera309
    Let us know how it goes, cadguy!

    I really fancy one of these, but like most people, am going to wait until the price comes down. Saw an article in the paper that says UK pay more for the PS3 than any other country. Fair play to the "early adopters" though! It looks like an awesome machine.

    There was one for sale at Ultimate Dubs for £150. I was really tempted to buy it. You can paint them if you want to and just get the benefit of the weight saving - 2/3 lighter than a standard bonnet. PS, you are absolutely right about the mk3 cabrio roof - at 125mph the seal at the top of the windscreen suddenly stops working!!!
