  1. What exhaust set up are you running sounds nice![emoji108]
  2. Time to try to make this thing run right and relocate my maf away from the Rotrex. I'm determined to keep my air con so had no choice but to run a pipe right under the front of the car so I can fit the filter and maf in front of the n/s wheel behind the bumper. Bought some 80mm pipe work Extended the loom for the maf Had to trim a bit off the front panel but amazingly I think I might just get away with it! Just need some major cable ties or a couple of big mikalor clamps to hold it up, and I'll make some sort of bracket up to support the maf and air filter and hopefully I'll be all good to
  3. That's a seriously rusty front wing! Looks good other than that! Welcome to the club mate!
  4. Bought my ticket and mines been accepted for show and shine[emoji106]though I really need to make some time to get it running right and relocate my afm, front end off again this week[emoji35]!
  5. New PS Prestige steering wheel fitted which I've borrowed from Bealieboy's Nothelle [emoji16][emoji106]. Apparently these where one of the many upgrades offered by Scott's Mototune when the car was new;
  6. Before I read the last sentence I was thinking clutch could be on its way out. Mine does the same and I reckon my clutch could is on its last legs.
  7. Looks tidy! And sounds like a familiar story to mine, felt sorry for it, then things got out of hand! Any other plans for the old girl?
  8. Finally got my interior in after fitting the rear speaker and tweeter pods into the new quarter cards; Used this to glue the speaker pods to the back, brilliant stuff!! Then bolted it all in;
  9. Be ok if you had somewhere decent to store it for a few years, until it was maybe worth something........ and you've won the lottery![emoji38]
  10. I'd like to say I'm definitely coming but at the moment the vr's annoying me a lot[emoji35] and I don't think it's going to be running 100% by then so probably won't be able to make it, unless I come in the gti again but I can't do another show without the vr!
  11. I'd say there's a good chance that with aftermarket management it doesn't run one, though I'm by no means an expert in this field! [emoji106]
  12. Rear arches would be interesting on a more door! [emoji15]
  13. Thanks mate! Was a dream for a very long time ( as in max power and fast car magazines at the back of the class at school [emoji38]) to own a supercharged VR6, a few people have asked why I've not gone down the turbo route, it's because that wasn't the boyhood dream! Seats have cleaned up well; before with 20 odd years worth of erm.... actually I don't even want to think about that![emoji40] Then after a good squirt of tfr and interior shampoo a scrub, then a jetwash and finally a wet vax! They look like this;
  14. It had an oe recaro interior, but I always wanted this interior, it's from a German spec gti-edition, only 1000 made, I think? Though I've just realised there's no holes for rear quarter speakers which is irritating as I just gave a set of rear quarter cards away[emoji35]! That's what was in it;
  15. Went and picked this lot up from Northampton today, popped up on eBay so I snapped them up, been after a set for a while but only seen them come up without door cards, going to need a serious clean though! Popped a door card on with the highline door pocket;
  16. No he can't have because he would also have said to wear a short sleeved t-shirt over the top of a long sleeved one and have stupid multicoloured floppy hair[emoji23][emoji106]Oh and to lie about how much everything cost.......... hold on we all do that already![emoji3]
  17. Don't mention breaking a vr6 round here, you'll have Bealieboy knocking on your door within 10 minutes!
  18. You should be able to take a bit of slack up on the throttle body end of the cable quite easily, On that part. Hope that helps[emoji106]
  19. Yeah that's him he said it'd sat in garage for years after being re sprayed, known him for a very long time! Bealieboy I was only joking, I know I've got a spare bedroom but that doesn't mean you've gotta use it![emoji23]
  20. Oh I saw that car, looked quite tidy I think you bought it off a mate of mine Mikey? I'm sure bealieboy's got space on his drive for another![emoji6][emoji106]
  21. Here's a few pictures taken at a local meet last night; A decent camera doing it a bit more justice!
  22. It's ok, I've got some files and big chisels I'll make em fit........... But they will start to rust away in about a year[emoji106]
  23. This was at a local meet last night, taken with a proper camera not my phone!
  24. Just a little tidy up of the charger pipes today along with a forge recirc valve I had, before; After; And put on the corrado gearbox brace after putting a bit of paint on it; Also painted the top half of the header tank textured black ( a bit like some Mercedes ones), because I was fed up with looking at the yellow stained one!
