Not a busting amount at the minute, just saving up for parts and working on the interior. seems like all i've been doing the past 6 months!

Well here it is! Cant wait to get started, taking the block to stealth when I get a chance, they can put the rings back in e.t.c. then hopefully should be a matter of bolting it back together with turbo and i can start pipework

3 litre Wossner low comp pistons with ARP bolts, and new valves, hopefully these ones wont bend like the last lot! I'll upload when I get some more news.....

Never use cheap tools!!!!!

Flow is a more important figure than pressure, 15psi on a big turbo will produce more power than 15psi on a small turbo. FACT

I wear mine to work too, the elastic drawstings things are now permenantly black, and stink of soot! good test of durability if you ask me! 

My whole car is like a sponge. Well........it certainly soaks up a lot of money!

Hi Guys,
 
So as a few of you might have already seen,  We have updated the club store with new goodies! We have freshly designed polo shirts and warm cosy hoodies, ready for the winter months! All in sizes from S-XXl. Along with these new items, we are still carrying the VR6OC window stickers, both inside and outside formats. 
 
These are selling out pretty quick so get your hands on them while we've got them - Once they're gone, they really are gone! Perfect for Xmas
 
We will be updating the store with new items so keep your eyes peeled.

previously owned. - Clio sport ph2 , impreza uk turbo, Golf mk2 driver, Golf mk3 Gti 16v, Golf mk1 1.8 Karmann clipper.
What got you into Dubs -  I think the whole scene seemed more friendly and more supportive than other marques, then at my first show weekend meeting other VR6 owners who had been part of the club for many years, and seeing so many amazing modified cars.
Best feature on your car? - Its a tough one as in the past 3-6 months the whole car has transformed due to different modifications, but it has to be the engine swap, I can't accelerate without having a massive grin plastered over my face, I don't think I'll ever get bored of the noise! This is closely followed by the new interior, and the number plate!
Future Modifications - Eibach or H&R anti roll bar kit, Schrick Cams, full re-spray, uprated Fuel pump, maybe a charger or turbo... I don't think I'll ever run out of things to do!
Favourite other members car - Its difficult to pinpoint just one as there are lots of cars in the club I really like for different reasons and good to see the evolving work going into them whether its an oem example or big power show car but if I had to pick it would be Gethins mk3 24v (VIW 28)

Your experience of the car (ups and downs)
 
the downs consist of basically every MOT (as with most older cars!) there's normally a problem that is a total pain to sort out, but the downs are definitely outweighed by the ups, I love my car, and get so much enjoyment out of cleaning it, driving it and getting it to a show!!

Oh and +1 on the bentley, bit expensive but easily pays for itself. Torque specs at hand make it so much easier

Hardest bit is doing the headgasket imo. If your comfortable doing that (read through our how-to on chains, it comes in handy) then the rest is pretty much bolt on.
Best of luck!
