Shoe polish works the best for me and lasts a lot longer than other off the shelf products. Kiwi magic...the one in the small bottle with the sponge on the end of it.

I did not purchase a decat pipe...didn't think I needed one as my car does not need a cat and was going to fit a straight through pipe, or will that be too loud?

I suspect that a few people on here have fitted a six branch manifold like I am about to do. Now that I am going to get rid of the cat as the engine is in a mk2 I would like to know where is the best place to fit the lambda sensor? There are already two holes on the manifold for a probe (one hole for bank 1,3,5 & another for 2,4,6) but is it wise to fit it to one or should I get a hole done further down the pipe where all the gases meet?

Have rebuilt my engine (port n polish head, new big ends, main bearings and piston rings) and just wanted to know what oil you guys would recommend on putting in to start with?

When i first started using forums (long time ago...honest) it thought bump was other people saying thats a bump...don't buy lol

Sorted everything apart from the brakes. I have taken the track rods from the 8v and connected it to the vr rack. Will bolt the vr rack, 8v anit roll bar and 8v wishbones to the vr subframe. I just need to check if I can take off the 8v calliper carriers from the hub and use the vr's instead so I can use the vr calipers and bolt the 8v drive shafts on.

Yeah sorry mate I was a bit tipsy last night...I mean the crank pulley and yes it is a mk2 vr conversion.

Does anyone know how much to take off the flywheel instead of denting the chassis leg on the car to make it fit perfectly?
-
I have got a six branch header going which replaces the original header and cat... can I still fit the lambda sensor to keep and eye on the engine?
-
how much for the rear lights?

I want to keep 4-stud/narrow track

I wanted to use the corrado cross member and get an uprated mount from vibra-T. I will have a look at the corrado rack and see what my options are as the power steering in the mk2 was giving me a few problems. If I can use the rack from the corrado it will be a whole lot simpler I think. As the rack is already connected to the subframe and this is the subframe that I will need to use.

I found out that I need the 280mm carriers not the 16v 256mm carriers as the brakes will not fit...

Thanks guys...aaronmk2 you answered all my questions...beautiful. I will keep the 8v driveshafts I will use the vr6 rack. g60 brakes on the front. yes front mount...I just thought the mk2 vr6 conversion front mount was made so that you can use the mk2 subframe? 8v wishbones will be kept on. VRJoel...looks like I will be using both then. Thanks again

I have the corrado vr6 front subframe with the steering rack, brakes and one broken driveshaft attached to it and would like to know what I need to do before i fit it to the 8v 1991 mk2 golf. 1. Do I need mk2 16v driveshafts or will my 8v ones fit? 2. Do I need to use the steering rack from the 8v or can I leave the vr6 one in place? 3. I think I know that I need mk2 16v hubs and calliper carriers and G60 brake discs to keep 4 stud 4. If I am using vr6 subframe then I assume I will need the corrado vibra technics (950mm) engine mount not the mk2 vr6 conversion vibra technics engine mount? 5. W

has anyone taken off the crank pulley on their motor? or does anyone know how to? the block is bare so i am finding it very difficult to lock it into place and get the bolt off
