  1. I've got a pair of front calipers from a 996 - some 4 pot brembo's, they look massive! Anyone else using them? What size discs are you using? Was gonna go for some 312mm discs but miht go bigger if I can. What are they like? Not fitting mine for a couple of months - got braided lines fitted already. What pads would be good for fast road/track use? I've got green stuff fitted at the moment, not really keen on them - want something thats gonna give me some serious bite! Cheers
  2. £300+vat for 2 brackets!! My mate made his own for about £20! Looks like Im gonna be getting him to do mine then.
  3. I stuck my car in the garage for a few months at the weekend & got myself a £100 Mk4 Escort 1.4 LX! 1990, Black, 1 owner from new and all original - has no power compared to the Golf but its nice to just knock about in and not have to worry about the dirt or the grit eating my wheels etc
  4. Alright mate did you speak to them? Im gonna be getting some made up after xmas - how much did they quote? Tim said he could do them for me but I didnt ask how much when I was down there.

    oooppps

    Does a VR6 have a transfer box? They from the US of A?
  6. Their subaru's will be worthless aswell soon enough! You can pick them up for £1500 - £2k aswell. The Golf will be worth keeping when/if the new tax bands are applied to cars newer than 2001. Your gonna lose money on any car you buy, just dont worry about it - just have fun.
  7. Is it Jesus/Priest jokes day?!
  8. A cowboy walked into a German car show room and said 'Audi'!
  9. Car = 1997 VR6 3 Door Company = Elephant Age = 31 Area = Kent Occupation = IT Engineer YNC = Full Modified? = All Declared Categories = FC Price = £225 Notes = 2000 miles a year cos I use my motorbike everyday
  10. Shame about Speedferries I've always gone with them when Ive gone to the ring but at least I'll be able to get a fry up when I go with P&O next year :0)
  11. You sure that your carpets or the stuff underneath isnt getting wet? This would cause it to steam up - wouldnt be anything to do with the cat.
  12. Cool so the Mk4's might fit then - I've seen that the Cupra R discs are 323mm so they might be better for me
  13. Anyone know what size Mk4 R32 discs are? Im planning to fit the front discs next year along with some Brembo 4 pots. I take it they'll fit straight on? My cars got 17's fitted
  14. He bought that like that as it was for sale on ebay about a year or so ago
  15. Could be the bearing in the aux belt tensioner on its way out - they sound like that.
  16. This year I've been part of a race team in the Britcar Production S1 series - cars owned by a friend of a friend and I was lucky enough to be asked if I wanted to join the team as they needed another person. Its a Bmw M3 Evo - I thought a 3 door would have been lighter for racing apparently not since its all been completely stripped out etc. Running around 380bhp, touring car spec cage, AP 6 pots etc etc. This was our 1st season & we came 3rd overall in our class. Our last race was at Brands at the weekend, saw Jonathan Palmer & Tony Jardine, Palmers son races in the Formula Palmer A
  17. Anyone know if its possible to disable the ABS system on a VR6? Im getting p*ssed off with replacing wheel speed sensors! The ABS hasnt come on once since I've owned the car - it does work but I've never needed to use it on the road or the track.
  18. It was! They also has the Toyo cup boys racing there to on the sat & a Corrado won, sounded like a VR6 but Im not sure what was in it
  19. My race team (Team GAMA Motorsport) joined up with another (BPM Racing) to take part in a 24 hour race at Silverstone as part of the Britcar series, if you saw the 24 hr race that Top Gear did last year its that one. My main job in the race was to re-fuel the car, this was done every 2.5 hours & in total I was awake for 41 hours! I was absolutely shattered when I got back home last night. We were racing a Renault Clio Cup, started 36th out of 41 cars & came home 16th overall and won our class :-d It was mentally 1 of the hardest things I've ever done but an amazing experience! As I'd
  20. Cheers I'll try that later! Not too sure what sofa paint is, I know its not gloss so either matt or silk
  21. My handbrake light comes on now and then which in turn makes the engine misfire - I had the faults read and it came up with an intermittent wheel speed sensor fault, would this be the cause of my woes? Ta
