  1. well it *was* the first kit sent to the UK, and to bel fair to c2 and chris collier, i'm not sure how well the communication lines between rob and c2 were. if chris has or rob have any corrections to make, please feel free to put the record straight chaps, this is what know happened, there might be reasonable explanations for each....just fill us in. just so we know the time scales involved here June 24th Ordered on Ebay Aprox July 24th agree c2 kit August waiting for charger Checked on ebay when i finally left +tive feedback for rob, it was 26th September thats basically 2 months not
  2. i love tesco super unleaded, brilliant price for petrol!
  3. go through c2 directly while this is going on...let us know how you get on. Its a fairly comprehensive kit, but consider there isnt any support for c2 kits in the UK now....... its a serious blow for both parties concerned, i would have to (and i cringe when i say this) recommend NS racing's VF kit's.... or a z-kit. there are hundreds of charger threads on this forum, please check them out.
  4. tbh, ive known him for a while, met him loads of time and spent a few days with him during my install, he is a decent guy, so there must be a good reason for this...trustworthy guy, no doubt about it, you have my word through experience, but im not sure whats going on...will find out soon enough!
  5. sorry i thought i had put a reply in here, i've sent you their telephone details, i havnt been able to contact him, but im sure gav will get through to him first , since he has his car! i'll post delivery experience here....i was however in contact with rob quite often...it makes a difference tbh. june 24th, my birthday, i got some money and placed an order for 1350 for vf eng stage 1 kit on ebay. i pay on the 29th i wait 3 weeks, visit the sandapod day and after find out that vf has decided not to sell to ultimatetune i'm offered my money back or an upgrade for free to c2 motorsports kit, up
  6. have you tried comparing your mfa mpg to one that you calculate manually?? could be duff injectors if there is a big difference, do the mpg by hand a few times m8.
  7. its hard to find a good garage, stealth is great, and the local garage that has done my families cars for years is good too, tbh its about experience, most cars are of similar design, if they have any level of professionalism they wont swing off your doors or bend things into place!

    im planning on making a custom case out of mdf with a few fans and mounting it on its side, as the hard disk mounted vertically is less prone to issues with vibration, then some black carpet over it, fans will be 12cm case fans from my old server.. not keen on touch screen as i always dirty the screen! i'm sure i can get windows media center working to a decent standard..only problem is gps..no idea how to integrate it. took a look at centrafuse, i dont like all the buttons...maybe ill have to design my own interface . i guess i can use a vlc activex control or something a well setup machine i

    i have a rear view camera already, and am thinking about the following :- after reading what you guys have said. MP3/DVD/GPS/WIFI Loop recording of rear view camera (i have one already but its not recordable atm) Permanent engine diagnostics via VAGCOM - need a way to hide wiring! Fixed MPG for supercharged vehicles using vagcom I have a TFT screen in the car already :- top - rear view cam (sorry, not very good quality at night! middle/bottom - courtesy of holly valance . --- craggsy i need to do something with all the computers laying in the house lol.

    Hello everyone, i started working on my next project for my vr6. Here's the scene, at the moment i have a faily basic setup inside the car. It consists for a pioneer avh-6400cd bought on holiday in the USA and a generic dvd mp3/vcd player which sits under the rear seats. I have a couple of amps and a sub in the back, I'm planning on trading my generic dvd/mp3/vcd player for a computer.... no ive not gone completely mad, i recently built a media center for my parents, and am amazed at how good it is and how easily the system can be controlled using a remote control. The main functions i requi
  11. i would be surprised if a head gasket failed within a year or replacement, unless there is something else wrong with your engine.. one of the most experienced companies in the vr6 arena is stealth racing in warickshire (i know its far but hear me out ), they really do know everything thats worth knowing about the vr6 give them a call. The head gaskget will fail its not sealed properly, if the bolts arent done up to correct specs, if the internal temperature becomes too high, if the internal pressure becomes too great, sometimes the water passages can become blocked and the water forces itself
  12. rotton egg smell is Hydrogen Sulphide, its normal for a cat to make this smell, although i dont see why it should do it when you've got your BMC on it. Check your BMC and ensure its oiled up properly
  13. did you have the schrick spring set? I understand the increase in lift, but what duration were they? I remember vince saying mild cams suit chargers best, so these may be a decent idea.
  14. surprising vw didnt put it on considering the vr has more than enough torque in stock mode to light up the tyres in second.
  15. cars from 1996, iirc you can tell if you look near the rear axle there is a proportioning valve that uses a spring to connect to the axle, if you dont have this you probably dont have edl. racelogic systems (aftermarket addon) have traction control and launch control and come HIGHLY recommended.
  16. mattverth is from sydney, i know its far, but it might be an idea to pm him...
  17. lol, we met very briefly at santapod, that a'hole shop had sold me the mk2 bonnet struts, which is why i got confused! We had this discussion, and i think after a little debate it was :- if your looking for a s/h s/c then a z-eng kit and if a new one then a vortech. I mean i didn't realise you could fit a dump valve instead of the diverter valve, shows how much i know... If your worried about getting the zr1, which has been in a car that some club members have been in, then i would spend a little more and a get a vortech kit, after searching 10 PSI is the maximum boost pressure that a zr1 ca
