    you can get a lot for theat. 2 doors then in my world it has to be the R32. If you get an older one you can charge it or the likes. Or get a mint Standard one for that. Are you up for or can you have 2 cars??? Show level Ralleye Mk1 or....and a mk4 Diesel for the school run???

    squire.... In theory the metal in the hub is sweet and over engineered. (All manufacturers do this as a matter of course as they know we exisit in the world ) HOWEVER........ (YES IN CAPITALS) You dont skimp on anything that keeps contact to the ground or stops you! Do you? So why would you put the area that keeps the wheels on at issue????? As said people do it. I am a little OCD so if it involves steering stopping grip etc etc it is done with best engineering practises. Trust me the barrier/Hedge?ditch?etc Hurts.... SO fit the right hubs for the job or adaptors and the CORRECT (YES CAPITA

    worth a look at the DIY thread just revived. There are some interesting bits on there. He has also modded the oil flow for direct injection... Have a read quite interesting... Are you going to be track racing this??? I ask because of ensuring the oil is still available/pumped under hard cornering etc so may be soemthing to look at.... Also how far are you going with this? Are you getting the chambers and vavles checked for equal volumes etc etc???
  16. rodney
    as the guys said. get it seviced and understand what VAG codes you have up then you can start looking for stuff. Oil isnt usually tooooo bad for the CAT (short term) Petrol and heat are the main killers on the CAT.

    two things dont let off the accelerator and second is it a belt kinda whine like on a charger or the likes? and not an electrical whine like on the stereo????
  18. rodney

    Welcome as you are a premium member you can get on to the links for these options so just do a search for the key words.... People have opionions on each of these so worth the read.... Most dont do chips they get a remap or modify cams/forced inductions...

    I love that they call it the R8 Le Mans
  21. rodney
    you only need about £100 more mate and you're there ! It's so worth doing it right....
  22. rodney
    There is a little catch tank with some steel wool in it. Take it out and give it a clean. there is by default a little oil that gets its bay back as youd expect. If this is full and the catch can is full you will be surprised how far a little oil will go. The other suggestions are worth looking at also... let us know how it goes
  23. rodney
    Taht'll be a NO then..... LOL

    Whilst not specially analytical... the area of 4.5k typically has two main areas to look at no matter what engine. Spark plugs gapped incorrectly coilpack/leads starting to breakdown the ignition pulse... so check the system around these areas...

    With regars to the mk2 change check the engine mounts as they can go and also the exhaust is wrapped or the likes and no cracks. It can get hot in there and the zorst doesnt normally have a flex joint. Check the oil change frequency and the belt(s) is(are) tight and wear free. Worth checking all usual mechanics and asking if the chains have been changed.. usually around the 100k mark...(I forgot if he said they had in the advert). Other than that bomb proof. temperature in the engine is what kills 'em so as long as it runs cool even under boost and has good oil and water flow not much els
