    have you run a compression test yet ?
  2. golfrabbit33
    it seems most f/i people think so, german made and dont hear of problems with them. i would buy wossner myself.

    if only 300 hp, then you dont really have to go super dooper rods n pistons, would be good to have,but the vr will cope fine below 350hp. standard pistons are quite strong,mine are and i run another 140 on top of your 300. think more about an lsd and some triple 8`s,cos at 300 you will have traction problems . if you do get pistons then wossner from germany.rods are plenty on fleabay and bolts and ecu work come from c2 motorsport on here.

    i get ya tony, thanks for advice, have now got the top half off, how many head bolts can there possibly be then finally off it came.from what is visible, there is no damage to cylinders thank god, so tommorow i will try to get the pistons down through the bottom end to replace rings and clean up what i can. before anyone says,they have to come through the bottom because of the oversized rods below them wont fit upwards. any tips on opening the bottom half to get at pistons. all help welcomed. pleased with myself so far though,first attempt and three hours later,many bits in trays and the

    just cant say how completley gutted i am that i couldn`t do this one,was gonna be so in my favour to run a mile instead of 1/4. had the 1.06 housing to do top speed run,allready run 170 mph, so would loved a crack at the expensive cars. but my piston rings quit,and also absoluteley no clutch left at all. will be running again in a few weeks with no extra problems. (touch wood) but it seems like the year has passed and the big one for me didnt happen, bottom lip well and trully out. seen my engine out of the car more than in. but 3 gearboxes,two turbo`s and two clutches,lsd and £700 i

  23. golfrabbit33
    i believe the last vr`s came with a metal one, have a look at the pic of the latest sharran vr6 ones and i think you will find they are the one you want. and only bout £20

    personally I think we should try and stick to one at the mo and we can always find a nice local campsite and turn it into an overnight thing !! :) as long as it's reasonably central it should be ok cool, that bug thing on the bottom of your post totally did me, tried to flick it off 3 times,(owned)
