I got some from german, swedish & french car parts. They are mk4 look in a mk3 shell. I think they were £180 for the pair, I' not convinced by the quality though they keep steaming up!
-
I've got 7.7 x 17 OZ canyons, they only just clear the standard calipers with et 35 offset.
-
When my car was at AMD they renewed the front engine mount with a vibratechnics one. It helped a lot but it's still not very good. Changing the oil may fix the problem but if not it will be a re-build for me.

I dont know what version pads i'm running speedo. I went out in the car this morning & there was terrible juddering from the brakes & it'd only been stood over nite. I'm gonna bleed the system in the next week & see if that helps. The rears are new with only about 4000 miles on them. (standard vw discs & pads)
-
I did exactly the same, but at least my car wae at AMD so they put the EBC stuff on. I was well gutted cos they were the only things i really wanted doing. &|
-
I'm pretty sure they weren't o.e. ones & i'm not even sure if they were the correct year (post 96) cos they were terrible!
-
hello & thanks for the welcome.
-
I found they lacked pedal feel & were basically crap. Most of my driving is on fast b roads & the standard ones just couldn't cope, maybe i'm just too heavy footed? lol
-
What are the best disc & pad options for the golf vr6? I've got turbo groove discs & greenstuff pads but am not happy with their performance.
-
Well if u do, Mines black & i've already got mk4 style crystal headlights. So if youd be interested in swapping?
-
I'll try that.
-
Thanx. You lot seem very clued up, i wish i'd have found this site when i bought my new wheels. I picked 7.5 x 17 instead of 8 x 17 & the brembo 4pots wouldn't fit so i had to change to turbo groove discs & green stuff pads. Don't reckon much to them though.
-
Yes i was thinking of the shrick route. Has anybody had this done & if so what sort of power are you making?
-
After finally getting 1st i have no problems. Maybe your clutch is on the way out?
-
Brilliant! Now i just need to find the parts.
-
Cheers, cos i'm getting sick of looking like a learner every time i go for 1st. It never goes in 1st time!
-
So if i want to go down the new cams & head it'd needs a piggy back chip? or should i supercharge it? Heard the mpg goes down the pan with a charger though.
-
I think they re-mapped the standard ecu, i don't really know. The cat seems to be great, but as the one i replaced was knackered i don't have a lot to go on. All i ca say is it's a totally diffrent car from when i dropped it off!
-
Cheers Guys.

Hi! Had my golf for a year now & just started moding it. Thought this would be a good place to for info from like minded people so i wanted to say hi. !amazed
-
HI Can anybody tell me what parts i need to do a vento conversion on my golf? Do i just need the lights, bonnet & grille. Or is it more complicated than that? Any info would be great :?

[moved] My VR6 handles like sh*t too!!!
jamieVR6 replied to andy's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Koni adjustables all round with Koni springs & Eibach anti roll bars. Handles like a big go-kart but with 17's they're very harsh on anything that isn't smooth, but who cares when you can keep up with a 300zx round the twisties? -
what kind of car kicks a VR6s' arse?
jamieVR6 replied to apd's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
R33 skyline, my poor golf didn't know what was going on! -
The gearbox on my golf is the same. Sometimes takes 2 or 3 atempts to get first. Once moving there's no problem. Also reverse is an absolute sod to get, thought it maybe the clutch so had that changed & it's still the same. U say changing the gearbox oil helps?

I had mine re-chipped at AMD along with a miltek exhaust, Ram-Aid induction kit & a sports cat. Mine came back with 212.2 BHP & 202.7 lbft of torque. Now she struggles for traction!
