more like 165 / 40 16's lmao!
-
dont rate green stuff either, they are not up to much. Just installed some ferodo DS3000's and o my lord do these puppies work well!! down side is massive amounts of brake dust! but that doesnt bother me!
-
Good stuff. Need my corrado mapping after fitting 268's. Was this an off the shelf item premapped? and as above how much $$?
-
all corrado 2.9 VR6 lumps are OBD1 (you get early dizzy, and late coilpack)
-
Wouldnt bother, waste of time.

Clio williams are top motors. My old one managed a 14.0 1/4 with Just breathing mods + remap and a good strip. Probably quicker then my corrado vr up to say 100, but thats when the vr comes into its own. It used to hit the limiter in 5th @ 130 and anything above 90 was a little noisy and uncomfortable. Great fun little car though. few vids of her (not me new owner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yLNHqP5PQk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBm0IZxZUFQ&feature=related

Yep, just need to swap the 16v bellhousing over to the vr one. Same ratios with a 3.6 FD.
-
Agreed, they do top work only problem is price. was quoted £1100 for a two box cat back system on my raddo!
-
Cam position sensor. Have u hooked it up to vagcom?
-
205/45 16 or 195/45 16, will be fine.

3-5Bhp if your lucky on a n/a VR engine

Tapping noise from engine when cold
Steve @ replied to Dragon6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
VRs suffer with piston slap when cold, probably the sound your hearing. -
Yeah as above i run the later top pad and tensioner on the double chain on the rado.
-
port match the lower to the upper manifold. u can also tidy up the lower to hear side but dont open it up to much. matched mine, whether it makes any real difference is hard to say.
-
How do u mean?
-
probably using a O2J then instead of a 02A box which is stronger?
-
WIth regards to "drilled" holes the top end decent discs have the holes already cast into the disc. Drilling a disc after manufacture is not ideal due to the already mentioned cracking. Having said that I have run drilled discs on prev cars and they were fine.

yup this is true^

Good skills. Vince is the man in the know.

I need to loose some weight! Who has the lightest VR?
Steve @ replied to Lizard Racing's topic in General Chat
Carbon bonnet. lighter battery, seats, loose airbags, loose rear wiper, spare wheel. Light wheels. loose aircon (if you have it?) -
[moved] vr6- loss of top end power.
Steve @ replied to Davros's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Really need to get it hooked up to vag com to scan for any fault codes and go from there. -
vr6 turbo - what oil temps do you guys with turbos see
Steve @ replied to 6potmkII's topic in Engine Tuning
If your going turbo then I'd deff recomend fitting one along with a 70°C thermostat. As for oil try silkolene Pro S 10w50 great stuff. Get if from OPIE oils as you get a discount. -
Shrick manifold. Not much else you can do tbh, well there is always turbo charging ....

On my old MkIv GTI I ran 19's with a hefty drop, it looked A1, However the ride was crap to say the least. After that I swaped to 17 santa monicas, the ride was loads better. If I were to do it again i'd look for a set of 18's.
