Has anyone got a pic of the missing rubber conector? -
The cam chain should last the life of the engine its the tensioners that need replacing as they wear out around the 100k mark - check to see if yours have been done - i suspect at 150k they should have been! My old engine had done 155k and the only problem i had with it was excessive oil usage/burning - as long as the engine sounds ok and you have no nasty knocks or blue smoke you should be fine! I would advise using the VW synta silver oil when doing oil changes! I didn't on my old engine and i'm sure this contributed to the excessive engine wear! Do a search on the forum about chains and t

Cheers minty that would be very helpful! As far as i know the one i'm getting is already to go but just in case i need an bits it would be helpful to have a place to get them! @goodboy1451 - its probably the one i've just got off ebay! lol

I believe so - i've got the r32 projector lights with angels - i'm going to be fitting them on mine! I think i read somewhere that hids are well suited to the projector style headlight and you get a good output from the already good hid! Just waiting to get 10 peeps interested so the group buy can start!

I'll pm minty and try find out where he got his bits! Does anyone rebuild these chargers?
-
Looks like a might be selling the ZR then! How much are vortecs?
-
Just spoke to stealth about fitting my ZR s/c - they are saying i should reconsider this as the company has gone bust and parts are unavailable! Does anyone know anywhere that can source parts and if the worst comes to the worst re-build the charger? I don't really want to get rid of it if i can possibly help it!

There is a 6-2-1 s/s manifold on ebay at the moment - might be worth a look? -
How much is it inc p&p?

Coll thanks guys - where is the best/cheapest place to get copper head gaskets? Any idea on price?
-
doh - sorry didn't read that properly! I've emailed them yesterday - no reply yet!
-
I had a set of dtms on my old mk2 6 years ago! would do again - too many chavs with them now!
-
Mine were a straight forward fit - are yoy sure you have the correct wiring plug?
-
What sort of difference over normal set-up has this got? If you have driven a normal set-up of course?
-
I can't remember what mine looked like! I'll have to take it off to have a look! I'm sure my FK plugs looked different tho!
-
Is that just to do the gasket or do they overhaul the head too?
-
Do i need to lower the compression when fitting a supercharger? Or is that only for high boost/turbo chargers? My head gasket is leaking and as i'm having the head off is it worth putting a bigger gasket on to lower compression?
-
What brake set up are you using?
-
Mine were straight plug and play, although i did leave the blue bulbs in and it passed the mot no problem!
-
Seems a good idea - would be good to have someone who knows what they are doing on hand to check people are being safety concious too!
-
Got any pics?
-
I would do it yourseilf - my local shop did mine and charged me £300 (h/u, front comps, subs, wiring, power cap, 2 x amps) and it wasn't the best job i've ever seen! I'll def be doing it myself next time!
