    does anyone know if it will do any harm running on a lean amount of fuel or will it just sacrifice a bit of performance till i get it chipped?
  2. gazbrook
    Did adjusting the Fse make your car run better?? Still might have a problem with the extra air been pushed through

    def gonna supercharge it too, so i think i might get a piggyback chip as recommended then i can keep on getting my ecu remapped rather than having to get a chip fitted everytime

    some great ideas here , my boot is ALWAYS full of crap, i have a couple of spare wheels, trolley jack and other tools, it sounds like i have half of kwikfit in my car when i drive it, might get shut of the parcel shelf too, cheers

    Hi, I will (hopefully) have my car finished by this Sat, i chipped it once when i had just a stainless exhaust, now i have had other mods , 3.0 conversion etc i have been told i need it chipping again, i am $&@% off , this is because i will probably have too lean a fuel mixture so i have been told. Is there any way around it , ie a rolling road tune or one of those add on fuel pressure regulator jobbys?? ~

    I use optimax for two reasons , optimax is 98 ron and ultima is only 97 ron same as esso super and also its cheaper where i live to have the more potent 98 ron optimax. I genuinely do think optimax is better and have tried both, some serious strip racers use better fuel that is 106 or 108 ron so theoretically optimax is better as the rating is better, i'm sure i will be told if this is incorrect

    i will seriously consider a carbon fibre bonnet and seats, thats a good excuse to leave our lass at home too, i can say its because she weighs the car down, not quite sure how she'll take it %-6

    I know vr6 go like a bullet in a mk1 shell, i was thinking more on the lines of reducing weight with the existing shell, i need to lose a few pounds myself maybe that would help!! I don't have air con as its on an L plate
  11. gazbrook
    Hi guys n girls, I was wondering if you could give me your input on the best way to reduce the weight of my vr without completely stripping out the interior like a rally car , as i think this would be a good way to improve my acceleration at a minimum cost, cheers

    mine is a 93 vr6 and well lane turbo centre in Batley, Leeds put a superchip in mine

    i've already got my car chipped, looks like its a schrick then , the rent can wait
  14. gazbrook
    16" ones are going for £300 with tyres, 17" might make them worth 350 with tyres

    In the golfs defence the vr6 is knocking on a bit, the bmw 330d is quite a new car hence newer technology , also about 10- £15,000 more expensive and if i ever do manage to soup my car up to 330lb/ft of torque i know it would destroy 7 seconds that the 330d does, still good for a diesel tho
  16. gazbrook
    how much did the schricks go for last time?? How much are they normally??
  17. gazbrook
    yeah mine is an obd1 3 litre conversion, not that i have driven it yet!!! (bloody garage) any idea how much they are worth throttle body and manifold together??
  18. gazbrook
    I didn't have my car rolling roaded standard but after chipping it was 188bhp , i thought golf vr6's were 174bhp standard?? either way that what a superchip did for my car
  19. gazbrook
    Hi guys, I have been offered a corrado throttle body and manifold for my 2.8 golf , i have heard the throttle body ,makes about 5 bhp difference, does it make any difference in torque and also would the manifold make any difference to performance ??? cheers
  20. gazbrook
    i would be interested if there was a group buy for induction kits or bucket seats the argument would then be which one though
  21. gazbrook
    vr6 man , do you know minas vr6 is a supercharged beast kicking out 317 bhp!! not the standard 174 bhp, thats why!!
  22. gazbrook
    Yes its me again, in relation to the last vr6 vs gttdi thread, what is the most cost effective mod to improve the torque on my vr??? I know a lot of you have bought schricks, i'm sure this is a good mod, are there any others??
  23. gazbrook
    I think i'm going to cry, i didn't realise diesels had that much torque, yes they do sound crap but they are getting quieter and quieter all the time so don't sound as rough at least,but still it doesn't compare to the throaty sound or a vr .Plus a vr doesn't redline at 5000 rpm like a diesel so time is wasted on a standing start with gear changes for a diesel, i'm still not happy with fast diesels tho!!
  24. gazbrook
    i have raced one when my car was only chipped at 188 bhp and from about 20 mph upto about 80 i was only a couple of car lengths ahead, i was v impressed but i think this car for sale must be standard because if he had modified his car the bhp should have gone up a bit aswell. Sound like he might be exaggerating to sell the car, all due respect to them though , 150bhp for a diesel is the same power as astra gsi, and ford rs turbo. Still a diesel though!!
  25. gazbrook
    Hi guys i have seen a car for sale that really confuses me, a golf gttdi (diesel in other words) I know they are 150bhp which is rapid for a diesel BUT!!! It is also advertised as over 230lbft of torque , will someone please tell me this is absolute crap, i hope it is. No wonder the guy who's selling has had no offers !!! On the add it says beats vr6's 4motions and r32's . What a clown, its on ebay if you want to take a look :?
