    Well as it was a little warmer today, I had a good few hours on it, Dad came up and fitted my spare carpet on the floor of the garage, and I cracked on with the Golf. First job was to fit the VR6 Highline alloys I got a while back, as these are already sprayed black, I think they look pretty good against the green paintwork.

    Iv tried a seach but a bit difficult to find the answers I need The modidlfications on my Golf engine wise are: a make of unknown uprated camshafts uprated exhaust manifold induction kit decat scorpion exhaust Now power wise it pulls very well from idle, but really gets going after 4000rpm - iv not found the current rev limit, it spins very quickly round to circa 7000 rpm through must gears - im putting this down to the cams as my previous modified VR with standard internals would run out of pull around 6300-6500. Anyhoo, what im asking is: What is a 'safe' rev limit for mine? I know the rev

    Small update again, Welding is being done early January, and I have decided to get another complete loom - I want to route it differently interally as it currently is, and part of my loom is missing, so a bargain off Ebay came yesterday - full OBD2 loom, complete with fusebox, relays & fuses, OBD port (Which I am missing out of my current loom) [plus he kindly threw in the rear light and fuel pump loom also. This coming weekend the alloys are going on, plus the wiring will be led out, excess cut and removed, and will start to be placed where I want it - not perminantly yet mind, as I don'

    No need for the wiring diagram - I found it at work - I thought all the older stuff had been deleted but lucky for me they haven't Im also going to get it weighed - will be very interested to see how much weight is now out of it - what do they weigh as standard? I'm guessing circa 1200-1250kg's?
