    I'm looking to do this whilst fitting my new engine, hide as much under the chassis legs and under the scuttle tray as possible,

    I have been told they are the same part numbers across the range of 24v inc mk4 and mk5 unsure if anybody can confirm this? , its for the 3.2 so BFH, BUB, BDB etc, if you have the part numbers i will do a bit of research, cheers

    Thinking of fitting new chains and guides to my engine whilst its out and prior to fitting for peace of mind, Has anyone got the required part numbers for the parts needed to do this and also where is the best place to pick them up? My local TPS isnt very local and they wont deal with the general public direct, ideally i want to stick with original parts aswel so if anybody can help me out? Thanks in advance

    Hi Guys, Being in the process of converting to 3.2 im now looking at gearbox options, Has anybody got any advice/info to what would be best suited to this engine without going too mad, wasnt sure if to stick with the vr box or swap for the o2m as i see united motorsport sell the mount and conversion plate etc, need to get one sorted pretty soon

    Awesome work mate, did you encounter any problems removing the abs? I was hoping to ditch it on mine when I start smoothing the bay

    Today i started stripping the engine down to a bare block, all hoses off, inlet manifold off, alternator, oil cooler, oil filter housing, thermostat housing, crack pipe, air con compressor etc etc and this is what i was left with. Inlet manifold getting prepped ready for primer, need some finer grit paper to get some fine scratches out before it gets a full coat of primer. Whilst i was doing all this in the other corner of our barn my mate was working on his vr, Then started cleaning the block up, happy with how its scrubbing up at the moment

    so i managed to have the new registration transfered onto the car in time for Dubs at the castle, i think it really suits the car Looking forward to tomorrow for the journey up country to collect my new engine,

    Here is a selection of photos from this years show we attended last month, Fantastic venue and hot weather created a great base for a car and beer fuelled weekend with like minded friends/members.
