    never used eather but it should be ok if its for sealing head gaskets, Its not going to do any harm and is better than using nothing Give stealth a ring and speak to vince as he will put your mind at rest, Loctite is a company i would trust

    They have a poor effort one built inside it it, Probably better off getting an aftermarket one that bolts outside What you doing to the cab out of interest

    Is there not a sheet of paper telling you torque setting for both and sequence included with your ARPs? There should be, if not give the retailer a shoeing lol permatex copper gasket spray is not needed but highy recommended. You might aswell wait till you got some as its not really a job you want to do twice Never hurd of using locktight on headbolts... im 99.999% sure you don't have to

    Its normal for the engine to more quite alot. mine was about 1.5-2" ummmm its hard to say as everythink is new lol, ball joint would make the knocking noise but as you say there brand new Knocking noise doesn't happen more on full lock does it? Also have a look along the exhaust system to make sure its not knocking on somthing (rear axal?) What ever it is its probaly going to get worse lol when it does it will be easyer to see lol If your standing still and turn the wheel left to right does it make any noise?

    does sound like engine mount as when you brake the engine can shift (doesn't have to be in gear) The way to check is get someone in the car with handbrake on and lift clutch up and down while you look at the engine mounts failing that it sounds like you've left somthink loose (easy to do when you carry out a number of jobs at the same time) Ive had it on mine with the front wishbone bolt, Altho bolt was TIGHT it still hadn't gripped the metal sleeve inside the bush, I removed the bolt cleaned threads small amount of copper grease and tighten again this time did the job, shitty theads sto

    LOL fair play, As long as your not a arsehole round hear they are really sound, Kick off at them and your fucked I had the same kind of thing trying to get away along with a big list of things i could have got points for, Twice the speed limit, 2 front tyres on 1.5mm lol, Not stopping, cut in side wall on rear from rubbing on arch, cracked windscreen, abs light on, no front number plate, few other things They dropped everything and canceled my MOT 3 points and £160 fine To say the least i was chuffed lol Ive got my own little rule. stop if there behind you, If there facing the other w

    yep lots of copper grease or motor bike chain lube, Some people rap them in cling film but i recon its abit ott If im honest ive had my coliovers since i was 18 and ive never protected the treads, 4 years on and there still fine, Tight but i always get them going with some WD My next set ill going to protect them but back when i was young i always rushed lol

    I like your idea for the camber gauge I get on well with my tyres fitters, Last time i went i got tracking/ camber/ 2 tyres fitted and fronts swapped to back for £35 haha. Way way over half price as i help them do the work

  14. Phat VR6
    Ive hurd you just loose about 10 bhp so yours will probably just feel like a normal vr lol
  15. Phat VR6
    i did one for IP somewhere on here, no pictures but he said it was very usefull.. ill have a look for it
  16. Phat VR6
    Why are you going turbo if you want smooth progressive power? If your only after 300-400 brake why not get a Rotrex? There a grope buy on them somwhere on hear
  17. Phat VR6
    Think its a 4 wheel drive mk2 which probably helps lol Why is it that this dave dude gets better times than much more powerfull VRs? Just better starts or somthink?
  18. Phat VR6
    glad you got it sorted dude, £240 isn't bad considering the work you saved yourself When working on my car i offend think fuck this im taking it to a garage. People think garages are expensive but after trying to do the work your self they seem VERY cheep indeed lol PS leave your car how it is for a while lol DONT take a spanner to it
  19. Phat VR6
    looks good mike, You having them flared aswell? Whens it getting SLAMMED?
  20. Phat VR6
    Somthink could be bent but as said above getting your chamber sorted could fix it, If your cambers out then it will pull to the left, you've just got to find out why your cambers out, weather its somthink bent or just a simple case of adjustment

    lol stopping is good, Nope R32 brakes don't fit, Porsche brakes need brackets making aswell Its TT brakes, Porsche or some 4/6 pot aftermarket sets Seen some 4 pots 312mm brakes for the VR for £400 somwhere but can't remember where
  22. Phat VR6
    Do you want it slammed to the floor or just a little lower and firm? Would you mind having a really bumpy ride?
  23. Phat VR6
    Do these quattro IMSA gearbox's bolt strate onto VR engine R32 ect which flywheel /clutch do you use?
  24. Phat VR6
    Due to the fact ally sumps shatter i started thinking, R32 oil pump and pick up with shallow modified 12v steel sump, Would take some welding and fabricating but should be easy enough Plus you can reinforce and plate it, You say that the plastic baffles remove from the R32 sump? How much work would it be to mount in a 12v sump from memory? Anyway way think this way would be the best of all worlds if your running low
  25. Phat VR6
    I like this, Looks like its going to be RWD, What gearbox have you mounted onto it? And whats involved in mounting a RWD box on a VR6 V6 R32 (seems to abit of all 3 lol) Also what car is this going in??
