  1. Well Gethin long time no speak still chipping away at the mk3 i see
  2. Thats it I used a small stainless washer behind the bolt when installing my 312's on my Vento you dont need to but I did You will need to use the Banjo bolt from the calipers you are fitting there is a different pitch on the threads between Mk3 and Mk4 based cars
  3. People either like it or hate it I personally think the blue is too dark on the Harlequins but each to there own It doesnt bother me too much as I can change the colours in a couple of hours but I think it looks well
  4. Sorry for you matey Now is the time to pick up a nice Mulberry Highlinr (IMHO) Battery polarity can swap normally when they are flat but can happen if the battery is bad Best of luck with the new purchase :thumbsup:
  5. Not too great when it comes to updating my threads And the main pic but let me tell you one thing Jap heads dont know WTF ?
  6. My B3 estate Edition One Not quite a VR6 yet but ................ Got this plate for her (I need to get the passat tax and tested then the plate will be trasnfered over) And have this engine almost ready for fitting Sorry couldnt just put one pic up
  7. LOL I like that "I'm being overtaken by a green car, no a red car, no an orange car..."
  8. This Goventa will be getting some paint this weekend rear 1/4s and grill going baby blue, rear bumper rear doors and bonnet going ginster yellow, bootlid and front wings going pistachio green. Just leaves the front bumper and boot spoiler to be done in red I will fit the US spec rear plate tub then with the new plate Also going to get the windows tinted a nice light tint on the side and rear windows i think its a 25% tinting so pics will be posted when done
  9. Havent really done much with the GoVenta over the last few weeks except drive it Just need to get a plate to fit the US rear tub and its something else done I got a rear number plate sorted out for it (it was a tight fit while keeping the digits the legal size and spacing and IRL euro sign) Keeping it legal as possible I will be getting a few bits and pieces painted over the next week or so so it should really start to reassemble a Harley then
  10. Tidy car, Black badges on the bootlid look smooth
  11. When you put the dash back together did you tighten up the 10 nut that has a heavy guage wire coming from the Immo box to the dash support near the steering column ? I did that once before and found it by stripping the dash back out looking for damaged or broken wires
  12. ok mini update time again I have had the Vento on the road for the last 2 days kinda doing a snag list of whats up with her before I put the interior all back into place Cant run the 15" BBS wheels until I modify the ARB links they are rubbing on the inside of the front wheels so I decided to put the BBS RC's 7.5x17 on for a try out It handles 100% on the 17's with minimal arch to tyre rubbing so I may decide to keep them there pic below I have forgotten how much fun sleeper cars really are I had some fun the last few days cruising around LMFAO
  13. Always doing something and trying to keep busy Daytime pic of it back on all 4 wheels Just needs the whole interior put back into place now
  14. Looks like a very nice Vento matey sits lovely in the above pic

  17. I bought this Vento as a daily runabout (LOL) Also had a Golf on UK plates and the Govt want €756 to re register it on irish plates so its being converted into my Vento The golf has been stripped yesterday afternoon just with the 2 axles remaining so it can be moved around

    Cams etc

    I have bought 2 raceland manifolds in the past and never had any complaints, One thing I would do is get it heatwrapped as its pretty close to the steering knuckle rubber boot. I just bought another one for my Harlequin Vento thats getting a full VR6 conversion in the coming days
  19. Double chain was on engines upto 21700 21701> all had single type
  20. Changeover years from double to single top chain is mid 93, OBD2 started late 95 so its possibly been changed before you bought it. Both motors are the same as are the sensors its just the management is different
