I had a blast at my first gti fest earlier this month now I cant make any more meets till well into august :( barring a miracle in my work situation I'm gonna be p!ss poor for the next month.

    Hi folks, I'm looking to get a stainless six branch mani at some point, but I dont want to heat wrap it. I would rather do the following: 1) Buy a shield to insulate the cabin from the residual exhaust heat. 2) Get a bigger radiator. 3) Uprate the thermostat. Anyone know where I can get the above ( and or recommend models ) for an obd1 vr ?? I know it seems a lil @rse about face but a mechanic I know reckons that over a period of time the heat wrap attracts corrosion & therefore shortens the life of the mani !! Thanks in advance for the advice.... Rich..

    Hi folks, my wagon is an obd1 95 mk3 vr6. I noticed that on dual carriageway journeys when revs are constantly around 3-4k, the oil temp rockets sometimes to 100 degrees. today it registered 108 momentarily for the first time, although the computer had the air temperature at 24 degrees. In economy mode around town it's usually 85-95 degrees. I should mention my engine has 83 k on the clock and I am running 10w40 engine oil ( funnily enough the water temp never budges above 90 ). Just wondering if its normal for oil temp to reach or exceed 100 degrees during hard driving or do I possibly have a
