It is absolutely brilliant! Still using any excuse just to go out and drive the thing some blurb and pics: For the benefit of some who asked about the stealth turbo: Firtly, I must say the level of service is top notch and I can't recommend the stealth guys enough. Vince and co spent a long time explaining everything that had been done, the reasons why and how to maintain the vehicle, recommending the best plugs, oil, etc. it was obvious that a hell of a lot of work had gone in to the car, and IMO it represented excellent value for money if you're seriously considering turbo but don't feel

It's home

Thanks for the offer mate, really kind of you! It just so happens though that a friend is about to scrap his mk3 (a 1.4) so I can nick his mirror. I'm presuming they are the same as the VR6 ones. Will keep you posted though I am looking into better quality boost gauges despite it being a shame to buy one only to rip it apart!

Cheers will look to see what a mk3 rear view mirror looks like and see if I can do it on one. If not the corrado one shouldn't look too out of place!

Really nice, love the doorpods too

Hi Zac, no concrete date set but looking like end of next week

Figures are in. Plotted against my Stage 2 supercharger... Thanks to VR6Pete for getting them!

Vince sent me a teaser video today when setting pressure and whatnot. Mapping to come this week, will keep you posted

Progressing nicely mate! Will be interesting to hear how you get on with the 3". I've opted for a custom 2.5" straight through with decat. Let us know how you get on with the 312 brakes too, I considered them but a set of Tarox 6 pot 323s came up at a good price. Will you be attending any shows this year? Hopefully see you at one

Good Work! I'm nearby in the Croydon area and my VRT will hopefully be done in a couple of weeks. I cheated though and got a Stealth kit Interested to hear how you get on!

I'm in the South London/Surrey area and wouldn't mind a meet. Need my car back first though!

Boo! But on the upside you'll have a well sorted motor! Looks the business up close and it'll be good to hear how you get on at a future show Difficult to answer at the moment as I haven't picked it up yet (and have tried not to think about it!), but I believe the price given was £5.5k with a Helix clutch. I've also opted for an LSD, Chains, and the head/gearbox given a once over as well as getting Vince to fit my big brakes (as I couldn't undo the bastard brake hose union!). I have maybe gone a bit overkill, but I wanted some peace of mind. It will definitely cost a fair bit more than the li

That's good to hear! Thanks You going turbo too? Kept that quiet!!
