So after a head gasket change, new thermostat and new radiator fan the car is back on the road thanks to Tony Walters. I also changed the crank sensor today and it seems to have solved the starting up issue, so its happy days for now.

1 week to go, it's looking well tbh!

Retrimmed headliner and black goodies

Powdercoated tool kit and spare wheel

Full finished car photos to follow after Dubshed!

Fantastic video, too good not to share.

Well I gambled with the carpet and it paid off as it's a exact match to the old carpet. Just a shame I got my measurements wrong with the order lol

Lots of waiting around for glue to set and move onto the next section was boring and contact adhesive stinks so much!!! Atleast it's all paid off and I done it first attempt.

I hate rusted bonnets and a scrapyards full of shite on the roof!

Bora fronted golfs if u want a bora buy one!!

Ridiculously stretched tyres then crying over when they inevitably burst and ruin wheels that worth double the lupo that their on

Not much point in 10mm ones anyway TBH even turbo'd motor's are ok with standard leads

Ahhh right. Well I've ordered a set of plugs and finally found the dubPOWER website, not dubsport haha. I've ordered a set of 7mm blue HT leads. Didn't go for 10mm as I don't fancy cutting the plastic tabs off the cover and for a standard/mildly tuned engine engine there's not much point in big 10mm ones. Happy days!

It is absolutely brilliant! Still using any excuse just to go out and drive the thing some blurb and pics:



For the benefit of some who asked about the stealth turbo:
Firtly, I must say the level of service is top notch and I can't recommend the stealth guys enough. Vince and co spent a long time explaining everything that had been done, the reasons why and how to maintain the vehicle, recommending the best plugs, oil, etc. it was obvious that a hell of a lot of work had gone in to the car, and IMO it represented excellent value for money if you're seriously considering turbo but don't feel confident enough to DIY.
As for the car itself, well now I completely understand why some of you guys chose to turbo your VR6s, I've never felt such brutal power in a car before, it was disgusting and after the initial shock I was laughing all the way home.
Setting off for the first time was driven off boost due to congestion, here it behaved exactly like a normal VR6 should and if taken easy I think the mpg would actually be pretty reasonable. The helix clutch judders ever so slightly when pulling away, but I'm told that this is perfectly normal (it isn't enough to be a hindrance though). The custom exhaust note is certainly quite unique and hinted that something was a bit different with the car.
As soon as the road cleared it was time to see what this thing was capable of. From second gear I floored it, and held on for dear life! It felt like the car had been attached to a giant slingshot and catapulted down the road - everything around me just became a blur as I went in to warp speed. I was worried that the lack of Racelogic would see me endlessly wheelsplinning, but the LSD was more than enough in the conditions to put the power comfortably down. Third gear was even more savage and from here on it was just relentless, never ending power. The exhaust when opened up sounds like nothing else, and the recirc valve gives a god almighty whoosh when you let off the throttle.
What goes up, must come down though, and a random emergency stop showed me how good the tarox brakes were. I would definitely recommend them to anyone as the stopping power is almost as brutal as the acceleration.
After paying the final balance it was a 2+ hour journey home, which only re-highlighted how fast the car was. Even in 5th, it pulls extremely hard and it was a matter of seconds before I was at license losing speeds. Unfortunately I didn't really come across anything exotic to test the car against, but I'm not the kind of guy to provoke anyone on the road anyway. At 70mph you can drive off boost too so as not to empty the fuel tank too quickly! Through the twisty roads the LSD just made the car feel so much tighter and controlled, a definitely worthwhile upgrade.
That's all I can really say for now, but for anyone considering getting this done - you will not regret it. Yes it's a fair bit of money, but definitely worth every penny.

I always buy mine from camskill. I do try other places but camskill are usually cheaper

Long time lurker. Said I'd throw this up. Currently a 1.4, with a VR donor in the shed going in on the 18th of this month. Mine is the black one.

Mo

She's going in to the exhaust shop sat getting there very slowly the list is nearly compleat happy times

Camskill are decent for online.....

Yeah this was meant to be a little budget project to keep me busy over the winter, just because the car was so cheap and I always wanted a vr6......... and now I'm here!! Think it's going to mean I'm going to have to sell my other toy now:( As I'm not going to have time to keep the both of them plus my daily driver in tip top condition! This is my 'van' all 293bhp of it;)

Gonna be sad to see it go,but owning a supercharged vr6 soon makes me think oh well:)

You got the plastic thing to work? You need like a PSN or xbox achievement trophy for that!

I actually had the original tool still attached to my bonnet stay, didn't look before and assumed it would be gone. Happy days.

The metal laser tool is like 10 quid, make your life easy
