-
lol,had a bargain in the end then! nice 1
-
ive got the scorpion backbox still £50 fits onto oem pipework too,its not really loud tho :S

i would say the air flow was flucked anyway then,and has just decided to give u even more grief,get another,cus u will notice the difference,in fuel too,
-
very unliky it would cause prob? or very unlikely it wouldnt? :S
-
well im driving a heap of a £300 mk2 gti atm on its last legs,and funnily enough the air flow meter on that was crap,but i adjusted it and was suprised by the results:) shame u cant do this on the vr6 i will get the use out of the mk2 first whats still got 6 months mot,then hopefully i will have saved enough to get a nice vr,and i just thought does your vr feel any slower with the air flow meter off compared to when u had air-box on etc?
-
i will spk up,lol it is a dry k&n filter and was on mine for about 6-7 months (roughly) with no problems at all,all i can think off is that the air flow meter is shot.i dunno weather its because of the filter or not,but i had 1 on my old vr6 what never gave me no problems either,what i would do if i was you is look for a second hand original vw air flow meter,sos if the filter caused the problem,i would be very suprised if it did tho,good luck and heres a link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Vento-Corrado-VR6-Air-Flow-Meter-/200524507457?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb0

i aint sure what they are like mate,the toyo`s or yokos`s are both decent tyres tho,worth the extra i would say personally,as tyres are overall 1 of the most important things,(in my eyes anyway,lol)

jimmyb replied to Lukey.'s topic in General Chat
i found that funny:) but its probs some health problem that was the actual cause of it :S -
lol,like the thread;) well my opinion on this is they are a performance car for decent money,ive been neck and neck with a focus rs(old shape) beat type r`s lost to type r`s,neck and neck with my mates mk4 gttdi(200bhp) even beat subaru`s (not the 270bhp tho) although i think if i wanted i was quicker in my mk2 gti,i just used to love chuckin it into islands etc,lol (oops) my conclusion is for a 180ish bhp car a vr6 is a good car with lovely sound loads of grunt and super reliable. PS I DONT THINK THE PEOPLE WHO SLATE THEM OFF HAVE EVER HAD 1 OR BEEN IN 1,THEY ARE PROBABLY THE 1S WHOS GOT SMO

yes 18s would look massive on a mk3 i think 17s do tbh but if you can get it sitting right bbs ch`s will also look classic on a mk3
-
ive done it before on my fiesta si(first csr) and it turned out ok tbf.prepping is always the tough part i find.if it aint gone past the flat line on the arch just mask of to there(all around arch) i dont mind doing it as long as there is a line that will make the join of paint hard to see,so the bit on the bottom of the doors personally i would do the whole bottom of the door(upto behind the bump strip. but every1 is differant,have a practise but before you do go and get a quote of a chipsaway dealer as they are suprisingly cheaper than i thought they would be,there the dogs and do a top job
-
my abs had a pump fault aswell as sensors fault,last winter the light was sometimes on and sometimes off,and in the snow i DID notice the abs didnt work(soo close),lol but to be honest i bloody hate abs,i wish they never fitted it! but i would take a guess at the pump myself although you need to get it vag-com`d to be sure
-
im lucky enough to have never had 1 go off on me,,i was in my mates a-reg fiesta when he rolled it,it didnt even have headrests nevermind airbags,lol but i didnt think they would be so savage! ive heard ov ppl getting burns off them but i didnt think they would break ya nose!
