  1. i know some who had a lacia delta integrale, they were only lhd he looked into having it converted to rhd, a few had been converted, but the conversion was supposed to be really bad and dangerous and he was strongly advised not to do the conversion!
  2. yep i had a ram air fitted, it did sound awesome but it did lose power specially sitting in traffic, it was guttless!! i would rather sacrifice the sound and have it running nicely. yeah the panel filter will only give a tiny bhp increase, not even worth mentioning, as it only very slightly reduces air restriction thru the filter.
  3. the lights will dip because the starter is drawing so much current from the battery. dont turn it over with the lights on as that will drain the battery unnecessary amounts. the fact that there is fuel at the engine makes me doubt that the pump is not working, you should hear the pump buzzing when the engine turns over. you need to check that there is actually a spark, if it isnt even trying to fire then its likely there is no spark.
  4. i havent got a panel filter fitted but have toyed with the idea. apparently you do get more induction noise than standard with a "performance" panel filter induction kits give very little extra response a panel filter will give even less.
  5. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-R32-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ4591917388QQcategoryZ9873QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i didnt think it was being released until later in the year, beginning of 2006?!
  6. i doubt very much ice would scratch the paint work. it would melt before it scratched, unless there was grit in the ice then it might scratch.
  7. my VR was really responsive with the ram air on when it was cold but once the engine bay had warmed it lost some power but sitting in traffic the power loss was just a joke!!! i bought some stainless sheet to make a heat shield out of but took the ram air off instead. got some titanium sheet as well, that stuff is awesome!!!! i think theyre pretty safe to boot as soon as the cold start is cut out. oil temp should be sufficient enough.
  8. i know of some where local to me who will skim a head for about
  9. lmfao!!!! that is excellent!!!! my sides hurt.
  10. it annoys me how taxes just go up but nothing good ever comes as a result of it. car tax has gone up AGAIN and will continue to but the roads are still awful, full of pot holes and rough surfaces etc, wheres our money going...........? ~ ~ ~
  11. i would say that a G60 charger would take a lot of work to fit to a VR! your better off getting a custom charger fitted like many of the guys on here, just as good quality and you havent got to worry about butchering it to fit as it will be designed to fit the VR. have a chat with ultimatetune i think theyre called, they post on here. i think they can supply and fit a charger for just over
  12. mine was making 184bhp at the flywheel and 153bhp at the wheels. thats a standard engine!
  13. possibly, depends where its getting damp? mines very similar only does it when cold but no worse in the wet.
  14. Reuiened!!!!! "1 of a kind" yeah cos no 1 else is dumb enough to wreck a VR like that!!
  15. sayin that the ibiza cupra with the 1.8T engine is a hoot to drive! 6.5secs to 60, thats well impressive! im with m1keVR i need a timer!
  16. LOL, brilliant! gota love that 1!
  17. a lot of the time you dont NEED to spend the money, its usually for sentimental reasons, you love your car so you spend the money keeping it tidy and just right. you wouldnt spend money on it if it was an old dog would you? thats how i see it anyway.
  18. has any1 actually timed the 0-60 on their VR?
  19. if theres an MG ZR there id have it away. that would make an awesome garage!
