    Back to subject lol I had a golf vr last year that I got to 207bhp. I loved it then stupidly swapped it for a mint escort rs turbo. A few weeks ago I was offered a corrado vr6 from a friend and snapped it up! I feel I'm in a good position to comment Firstly, build quality isn't such a big issue, there's no major squeaks, rattles etc, if it's been looked after there's no difference. Secondly, while driving the rado there's that special feeling you get when your in something exclusive. I get the same feeling in my s13 200sx but never got it in the golf. Finally, speed, handling etc is negligibl

    Hello all, what with all the questions that get asked about smoothed bumpers i wonder why no-one has mentioned these before (unless they have) http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/dietrich-golf-cleanstyle-front-bumper-p-20422.html I doubt the quality is amazing but for convenience etc they've gotta be worth a go what does everyone think?

    i heard somewhere lowering your tyre pressures was a bad idea as your tyres get maximum grip at recomended pressure? not sure whether its true or not but i know the swedish lower their pressures in bad conditions

    i had this on my vr the other day got really worried about tappets, timing chains etc so last night let it warm up fully and its sorted it as said above if its still noisy once warmed up try the oil filter. also if its any help my noise was coming from the drivers side of the engine not the chains side
