    Some people live in pretty remote areas and it might cost them more than £7.50 in fuel to go to their nearest VW dealer... That's the only explanation I can think of.

    VR6 Highlines are the easiest mk3s to sell. Advertise on all the dub forums and you shouldn't have any problems.

    r32 wheels

    antera309 replied to pimpcat's topic in General Chat

    As long as they are fitted with 225/40/18 tyres, they will go straight on with no other modifications required.

    Only 50 were made in grey. They are rare as rocking horse sh*t. £12 Grand! LOL that must be one hell of a favour the guy owes you! I've seen grey ones sell (recently) for £17k

    £12k for a mint mk4 R32 with 32k on the clock and £500 worth of Milltex exhaust on it? I'd be at that cashpoint drawing out a deposit before he had a chance to breathe! I've been looking at R32s for over a year now and the only ones I've seen for that money are 80,000 miles+ or Cat D accident repairs.

    Like your style' date=' buddy! They're actually not that expensive if you buy them second-hand. I might be selling mine soon, with the proper tyres to fit a mk3...

    Get a 2.9 'rado engine!

    You can convert an OBD1 engine to OBD2 management, but to do this, you need the complete engine loom, throttle body, inlet manifold, ECU, MAF, transponder ring and key from an OBD2 VR. You might be able to get around needing the key & transponder if you get the immobiliser programmed out of the ECU. This is a fairly popular conversion on supercharged VR Corrados.

    You mean this thread, yes? http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79387 Do let us know what In-Pro come back with.

    Keep an eye on eBay, these wheels do come up from time to time. It's the mk3.5 cabby ones that are really hard to get..

    The UK-mkivs forum ( www.uk-mkivs.net ) already has a group buy going on HIDs - £90 for the highly acclaimed Goldeneye kit. H7 bulbs are the correct ones for mk3 inpros. Deffo up for a group buy on RHD Inpros if someone can organise one.

    You can screw your plate to the front splitter like I did, but mounting it on L-brackets just in front of the main air intake does look nicer, especially if you trim the plate down a bit.
  14. antera309
    OEM ones often don't meet in the middle either. Mine is OEM and there is the same 1/2" gap in the middle that you get with the aftermarket ones. I have no idea how much VW charge for the OEM splitters though - I was lucky and got mine free with the donor car my engine came out of!

    What connectors do you have on the USB Hard disk unit? Power and USB, or just USB? A photo of the ports on it would be helpful.
  16. antera309
    I've heard of people putting a layer of heat insulation between the rocker cover and inlet manifold on supercharged VRs and slight power & torque improvements were seen through doing this. There is also an insulating gasket ( http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=3507&xSec=129 ) that you can get that goes between the manifold and the head, which is supposed to reduce heat soak even further. Once again, this mod is mainly intended for forced-induction setups, where inlet temps are critical.

    There's lots of feedback on here about the Raceland 6-branch exhaust manifold, and all of it is good so far. Do a search for "Raceland Manifold" for more info. I have one on my car - seems like a decent piece of kit.

    A stage 1 VF-E supercharger kit is a safe bet. £2250 will get you a smooth & reliable 260BHP from a kit that can be fitted in a weekend. You can go with the bundled GIAC chip or, if you want to get a custom map done at Stealth for an extra few BHP then you can. The best bit is that the kit will still fetch £1800 second hand after 2 years of use. Don't get tempted by Stage 2 - the stage 2 GIAC chips don't work and Stealth really struggle mapping for the bigger injectors. The extra 20BHP ain't worth the extra hassle and expense.

    Oh yeah, they look like sh*te, no doubt about it. Nasty plasticky dash too, and no leather, even as an optional extra. But they ARE great fun to drive. Limited shelf life though. Ten quid says he sells it in 12 months' time. Then he will learn about arguably the biggest drawback of Scooby ownership - the monsterous depreciation.

    NCAP pedestrian safety rating? LOL

    Try CNM Vagspares on Edition 38. He's usually very good at getting hold of second hand dub bits... http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showuser=792

    The Aftermarket and OEM VW versions look exactly the same, but are made out of a completely different type of plastic. The VW one is much tougher and can take many many knocks without breaking. The eBay aftermarket ones crack at the first sight of a kerb. But then, the aftermarket ones are so cheap, you can afford to break a few....

    ...or an Audi S4

    I followed the advice on here and bought a front grille with metal bottom and it's now started to rust like a good 'un, just 18 months later, due to the stone chips. On a daily driver, I reckon a plastic one is a better idea.
