  1. For 288's has anyone seen this? http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_III--VR6_12v/Braking/Big_Brake_OEM/ES518/ If I read it correctly all you need are TT carriers and a spacer! Can someone let me know if I'm not going mad? Cheers Steve Answered my own question! http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/17732-312mm-brake-conversion-tt-setup-write-up-diy/
  2. If you can find them I should be able to get them shipped 'cheap' the guy who runs the brokevw site sent me my schrick import duty was £30 quid.

  3.

  4. How about any of the other forum guys joining the convoy from Essex up the M1, the invite is open and the more the merrier! Be fun to get a few more bodies rolling. S
  5. i couldn't tell how much difference it made if im honest, i had it changed when i had chains, clutch and 3.68 FD done which totally changes the drive-train anyway. if your about on the RR day come out in mine and see what you think? there are lots of articles giving pro's and cons, i can say that i dont have trouble with stalling or clutch chatter and have no problem going up hills! S
  6. HotGolf from the club gti forum, i will try and dig his email out if you want? s
  7. here is the guys website that i bought from no issues with getting them here at all. http://pu-lager.de/PU-Lager-und-PU-Buchsen-fuer-Golf-3-GTI-16V-VR6 google translate will be your friend! steve
  8. its like that is it? i think the next one will need to be at AMD so the north and midlands can enjoy the southern hospitality and the south can have extra sleep! S PS i heard sleep is over rated!
  9. hi, the Mk4 kit (G60 f/wheel and VR clutch) is a replacement for the dual mass system on the mk4. (pics will show a 6 holed flywheel where VR's are 10) you can get 20% by using code cc20 at GSF for premium clutch or euro's £100 for Sachs (about the same) HotGolf does a good line in lightened flywheels. good luck steve
  10. hi, been chatting with Bealieboy and we are meeting on way (braintree) any southerners looking to meet i was thinking South Mimms services for 7 a.m. that gives 15 minutes to chat then toddington (30 mins) for 7.45 another 15 mins chat and off to stealth (55mins) for 9, and thats all at legal speeds! let us know if its do-able. cheers steve
  11. No worries, got one of these to tighten the front up (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Motorlager-Getriebe-Polyurethan-PU-Lager-Golf-G60-VR6-street-schwarz-/221209278260?pt=Teile_ohne_Strassenzulassung&hash=item338119b734) good upgrade and minimal virbration. S
  12. Hi, try the G60 solid rear mount for the gearbox the OEM is liquid filled (http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=608) S

  16. http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/43143-vr6-o2a-gearbox-fitted-with-a-peloquin-lsd/ Went on ebay for about 700, I spent almost that on a recon and 3.68. Dodo like unfortunately. Good luck S
  17. Hi, i use Torque Pro on an old android phone with this, it clears faults, realtime info, pair it to a good GPS and you can do 0-60 (i guess if your from Oz that would be 0-100KPH) its a cheap little gadget. have fun S

  21. hi mate, one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-mk3-golf-3-5steering-wheel-/151362163652?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item233de353c4 i paid about £65 for mine. good luck steve
  22. Hi, i mapped after 263's, went from 190-196HP, i then went back to vince @ stealth after the schrick install and he did a deal as it was still a N/A tune, got a bit off so always worth asking! Vince also said that the VR was running lean with the Schrick, as you know this can kill engines so best to get a tune. good luck s
