I've got some Highline door cards to fit to my VR6
I thought the wiring for the "puddle" lights would be part of the "normal" VR6 door loom, but it's not
Is there something I can wire them to in the door or do I need door looms from a Highline?

Thanks Daveyboy

extremeautoaccessories.co.uk let me down on these I'm afraid
The couple of times I managed to get hold of someone that had a clue what I had ordered I got the line "I'll have to ring you back"
No-one's there has ever rang me back
They don't respond AT ALL to emails
Rang them yesterday (over a month after I ordered the ducts) & they said "We can't get them anymore & will have to refund you"

If I was driving a non VW it would be a Clio 16v or a Williams 1........ had a 16v for a couple of months, then got a mk2 Golf 16v...... liked the the Clio more than the Golf :-#
REALLY doggy sapphire cosworth
Done that......... never again
£1500 on the car........ £3000 on parts......... about 1300 miles while I owned it
spent most of the time on the drive waiting for parts & leaking oil everywhere

the guy from Dubsport did one years ago' date=' Ian someone or other, a black one, and was in a few mags too

Ian Birch
reg was "P1 LET" i think
it's still on the go...... someone on ClubPolo spotted it a while back in Asda/Tesco carpark
-
in the Golf mag a few years back there was a picture from a German show of a mk3 Polo with a VR6 in the front
so it's possible, but i'd think the sump would be very close to the ground
plus the front suspension on mk3 Polo's (& mk1 & mk2) is rubbish
would be a LOT of work
......
mk4 Polo (6N) would be far easier
a diesel could be a good starting point.... they have "big block" engines were as the petrol car's use "small block" engines that can trace their history back to the Audi 50's 900cc engine
mk4 Polo saloon would be even better....... they use the same front end as the Caddy van & are very similar to mk3 Golf subframe & suspension wise
-
i'll be putting this up FOR SALE in early to mid March
reason is....... too many car's
mk1 Golf Driver goes on the road in March........ Gold mk1 Golf trackday car needs to be done....... & i've also got an other project car that will be quicker than the VR (top secret at the mo, will appear mid March)
not sure what price the VR will be yet....... will still be pretty cheap
paint & dents on the drivers side doors will be done...... so will passenger side wing
may even paint the bonnet & spare tailgate
....
if anyone wants it "as is" or without the Hella twins/Red rears i'll do it cheaper & sell sooner
bear in mid tax runs out end of March & i can't tax it til 5th of March at the soonest
-
mine does that
i've put it down to been a £300 banger lol
-
had a look into what my new wheels are
there not ATS DTM.... there ATS DTC Competition wheels
& the should weigh 5.8kg each [
]not bad for £67 off eBay [
] -
got the bits needed for the brake upgrade sorted
Red Dot grooved/dimpled front disc's, EBC Redstuff pads & Goodridge flexi's
....
found a good sized Pipercross cone filter to fit
....
alarm/immobiliser messed up
all ripped out now & separate alarm & immobiliser fitted
....
got some more wheels coming....... ATS DTM there called, may paint them black
-
i wonder if the 1350bhp Veyron be quickest round TG track
-
looking for the best gain in power per £
.......
i bought the car with one of these fitted
i've replaced one of the "cones" with a Raid cone....... i'd use the Raid cone by it's self but its a bit small in my opinion
exhaust is staying standard as i'm planning some trackdays that have a 98db noise limit
i can get hold of a standard airbox if a "K&N" panel filter will do the job
i can make up a heat sheild if needed for a cone filter
i'd rather not stretch the budget to a Carbon CDA thingy
Ta, Paul

ingham & zorro are right i think
either gearbox end needs adjustment....... or is worn
i broke this bit & lost reverse, 1st & 2nd
-
MOT passed
not first time, needed rear drivers side caliper, rear drivers side handbrake cable & rear drivers side tyre
robbed a caliper off a Ibiza Cupra Sport that Matt's breaking, handbrake cable was £15 (ish) & stuck 2 near new Firestone's on back (£60 off eBay, 200 miles on them)
....
central locking has been playing up....... sometime wasn't locking at all
swapped the pump thingy in the boot & it's works first time now....... i wasn't expecting an easy fix
....
-
when my VR gets sold, i'll be getting the mk1 Golf Driver that's in my back garden sorted out
needs some welding & an engine fitted.......... waiting for my brother to sort the welding & got the engine sat in garage (1391cc 8v on Polo GT injection)
-
i've just fitted some 15's with an et of 35mm and they clear the calipers OK
-
yikes' date=' did you hold it ok? any damage to the car?
[/quote']
i was only doing 65/70 on the un-lit part of the M62 heading to Hull..............there was a thud at the rear of the car, i just thought i'd hit a rock/bit of wood
a little while after that there was an other thud & the car gradually started to pull a to the left
i hoped it was one of the fronts, cos there the wrong size (195/50x15).......but it was a rear (205/50x15)
can't see any damage to the car
