Shhhhhhhhhh.
Your comment is not worthy Bigfoot so lower the tone will you. Hahahaha.
I think I did an excellent job.
Just a little writing error pal. That's all. Lol.

Thanks to the organisers of the RR day it was a very enjoyable event. I was very pleased to see my standard/ no mods Corrado run a 197.2bhp! not bad for a 20yr old motor. Would love to do this again at some point when I have my new exhaust, air filter fitted after a remap!!!

Hi guys,
I'm bluemotions other half (and mechanic!) and while I haven't been on this forum or owned a vr for a long time. I've been in the vw scene for about 16 years. Over the last few years I've seen it get over populated by dumb kids who think dangerous mods to their car is fine because it looks 'dope', or elitist cliques who won't give you the time of day if you've spent less than 15k on your motor.
I was a little apprehensive about coming along as I didn't really know anyone who was going.
I can't tell you how pleasing it was to go to a meet where you can walk up to anyone and start up a friendly conversation. It felt very much like old times again, times I thought had long gone.
So thanks to those who organised it and well done you lot on being a throughly decent bunch of people :-)

coming to spectate see you all there

So here is Novembers feature car. This is a personal favourite of mine and a true inspiration. The attention to detail on this car is unreal. It's latest makeover is somewhat controversial with the diehard fans but here at the VR6OC, we love it for its brashness and how much Dougie dared to be different. You will see from the spec list below that it's not just a show car but has all the credentials for the speed check list.
Here are some answers from the man himself.

Thought I'd do a write up for a 256mm conversion as I've just done one to my mk3 and finding answers wasn't the easiest.
What you'll need.
256mm brake set up. Discs, pads, carrier, calliper. Probably from a mk4 golf.
Polo 9n stub axles - PN 6Q0 501 117
Polo 9n rear hubs - PN 6Q0 598 611
Banjo type brake lines
Next part, you can either saw off the axle spacers from a polo 9n like I did, pictures below, with the rough edge milled flat.


Or you can buy lupo gti axle spacers. P/N are 6E0501465A for left and 6E0501466A for right.
You'll will also need longer stub axle bolts and longer calliper carrier bolts. Both need to be about 10mm longer.
First off remove the current set up, including callipers, carriers, disks etc etc. you'll be left with nothing mounted to the rear beam.
Attach the polo 9n stub axle to the rear beam with the spacer in between..

It's an idea to bore out the holes on the spacers to the bolts don't pick up on the spacer thread and stop you getting a proper fit to the beam.
Mount up the hub and disk to the stub axle..
And then mount the new 256mm carrier.
From what I've heard, if the brake set up is from a 4motion, you will need a small spacer between carrier and axle spacer like I have. I can't comment on the non 4motion set up!
Either way, this is how it will look with carrier and spacer attached..

I've used washers here for a quick fix, but for a permanent solution a spacer plate should be made up.
The calliper will then mount in the same way the originals did.. This picture was also taken before I drilled out the holes so the spacer wasn't flush with the rear beam, hence why the carrier looks so closed to the disc..

And now the set up is complete.
Thought I'd finish this off for people using abs.
First, you'll need to cut a 'V' into the polo 9N stub axle, where the original abs sensor will fit. After this, you'll need to weld a small bit of pipe into this channel to hold the abs sensor.. Picture below. Be careful with spacing. I used a 0.8 or 1mm shim on the abs sensor to make sure the gap was correct


To make the original mk3 abs ring fit, you will need so shim it out. I done this by making a ring to fit over the polo 9N hub, about 2/2.5mm thick. When this is in place the abs ring should be a nice snug fit. Make sure you clean all parts before measuring, as my first attempt ended in failure.. Picture of shim under abs ring..

If anyone has any picture request/help/further input feel free to comment.
Cheers:)

Alright Russ I'm gonna sort a stand for this just waiting for the fitted uk guys to get in touch

@jd's thanks for the advice man, but why not try r32oc for more specific answers to your questions which only you know. Why not try asking a question for us to answer? We may just know it. There are many wise (and old) r32 owners on here. Most of them already know everything they need to so hence why the little amount of questions on thus section.

That is not a constructive post. That doesn't give us advice on what to help you with or how we can be of service. Frankly it's just rude. Please be more constructive before you get yourself banned.
