  1. Need some help and advice regards converting my mk2 Jetta to VR6. Got an early VR6 golf K plate full car. Could do with knowing what parts to use to convert. Heard if I use all the mk3 subrame and suspension that it widens the track. Also been told that I could use the clutch cable set up off a Seat Ibiza. Rather than go off scraps of information, would prefer to ask some fellow members as, through experience, your going to know what works and dosent. Hope you can help me out, cheers Dave
  2. Just got my mk2 Jetta and need some help. Got money burning a hole in my pocket and really tempted for a set of Borbet A's. Has anyone got an idea on what offset I need? Going to be running 7.5inch fronts and 9inch rears. Also can I run shocks and springs or would I need to change to coilovers to aid inner clearance? Would appreciate the help and advice as never got this in-depth on wheels and suspension and the whole deep dish area of the scene
  3. Hey, need some info regards having your arches 'pulled'. Read a few features which have cars with arches pulled on them but wondering whats involved? Heard of having your arches rolled, is this the same? Who does this work(live in Northwest so anyone round here)? How much would I be looking for a good job? Can it be done without the paintwork cracking or is it a repaint after? Its always baffled me exactly what the science is regards this and, with me planning to run my next VW low and deep dished, think it might be worthwhile knowing? Hope some of you can help *-)
  4. Hey everyone, need members help. Bad luck befell me at the weekend and my Vento was stolen. Thankfully it was found and I've now got it back and its stored in my mates garage. Unfortunately it wasnt returned in one piece and I am asking people to be on the look out for stolen parts being offered on here or any V-Dub sites. The list is: 2x Corbeau Pro bucket seats with side mounts, A set of 7x17" Audi RS4 replica wheels fitted with Yokohama Parada Spec2 tyres, 2 x 205/40r17 and 2 x 215/40r17. There are a lot more parts that were stolen off the car but the chance of finding them would be rare as

  11. Hope someone can help me. I hit the mother of all potholes yesterday and now I have a suspension problem. The steering wheel is off centre so I know the wheel alignment has been affected which I am sorting tomorrow. The problem I have is that on full right and left hand lock when pulling off there is a clunk. I have checked the following: bottom ball joints, track control arm bushes, track rod ends, shock absorber mounts, top mounts, anti roll bar bushes. Its an intermittent clunk though as it dosent do it all the time. I've balanced the wheels as well to be safe and there's no buckles or dist
