    Hello all I thought I would do a bit of an update. As you may know I have been away on work but I managed to get home for a couple of days. Although I didn't actually get a chance to do any work on the car I did manage to get some pictures of the progress you haven't seen. First I will start with a few pics of some of the parts I have ordered for the motor. here are a few service parts and a few goodies too. I actually got that bores at work 1 night that I priced up how much everything had cost me for this build on an excel spreadsheet, lol. The answer definitely gave me a bit of a shock :/ a

    im away on work atm and should be back at the tail end of this month. im hoping I will just about have enough time to get the car on the road before the rolling road day, fingers crossed if I cant make it in the mk2 I will pop up anyway just to see everyone as I only live a few miles away from stealth. the fuel fittings really did cost me a small fortune. I had quite a few to start with but ended up needing another 25 which was a bit frustrating, I think it was worth the money though. Thanks for all the positive feedback, cant wait to get back home now and get stuck in to it

    Right, the last update until i get home and get to do some more work on the motor. Once i had fitted the engine back into the car it was then the mission of trying to fit the radiator and fan setup. Because i had gone to a short runner intake it left me with a little bit less room upfront. That coupled with the fact that i had to fit another radiator for the charge cooler system made it quite a feet. I started by purchasing some slime line fans to help utalise the limited space i had. I then mounted the charge cooler rad and engine coolant rad together as close as i could. I then went and boug

    Right, the final transformation of my car I started this about two years ago. As i said i work away a lot so progress has been really slow. it all started because one of my mates somehow managed to persuade me to by some carbon fibre goodies from performance trim just before it went bankrupt. I bought a full carbon fibre bonnet (internal and external skin) a full carbon fibre boot carbon fibre door cards and a carbon fibre roof. After sheeling out so much for carbon fibre goodies i decided to go for more of a motorsport orientated look for my mk2 and set it up for track and drag use. Here are

    I probably ran the above setup for about 6 months until idecide that i needed more power I the set about aquiring a supercharger kit. I decided on a vf engineering stage 2 supercharger setup that i picked up second hand. I also decide that i would also strip the engine down again and get some more bits powder coated in the process to make the engine bay look a bit better. I had the gearbox, and pretty much all the ancilleries and brackets powdercoated to give it the look that i was going for. I also bought a polished aluminium crack pipe and a mocal oil cooler kit for good measure. The superc

    Hi I have been meaning to do a diary on my mk2 vr6 project for years but i have only just got round to it. I have owned the car for just over 5 years and has gone through a few transformations. this is originally what the car looked like when i bought it ( a bit of a scrapper) I had bought it off a mate and it had already had the vr6 lump transpanted into it, but it was a bit bodged so i thought i would split it all apart again and try and clean it up a bit. I then proceeded to fully strip the interior and exterior and rebuild it. I started by pulling out then engine and cleaning and painting
