where shouts are u

Got an American boot lid on Mine

Overall AP's are a good set of level entry coilover's. Accompanied with a fully poly bushed car and you'll never hear a clang or bang. haha 

Yes mate, they will come with the bumper. I've edited the post now. 

Don't suppose you have the running lights for the front bumper as well do you? Or even just the covers? I know its a big ask..  Cheers.

Have a look at xxr s they a nice fit 18 inch. I think they suit my car anyway and like the concave structure 

Hey it's fine mate. You were still there pal. Thanks

Would be good to go to that for sure, maybe one year. I'll put it on a to do list  Along with everything else I've gotta do..

Could be there a while draining that lol

I'm sorry to hear that you will soon need to be taking a back seat position Pete. However I can only imagen how it must demand so much time, You and other organisers do a great job with the club, website and events. I hope someone with the spare time and dedication required can be found. This is a great club dedicated to a great engine and Vw models it would be a terrible shame to see it slip. 

No disrespect but you tend to find yourself repeating the same answer and taking the credit away from the members how have originally answered this so I guess this is why some questions go unanswered my friend.

A few searches here will find you some very knowledgable information from probably the best vr6 owners there is.

The answer to your question is YES. Only the disc size differed.

bit of a winter polish

Thought I would post up some pictures of the wife's daily 1997 mk3 Golf VR6. Its a Highline and also an automatic, So far we have only done some maintenance work to make sure it all works right before we do any modifications. Having said that it does already have a full stainless system with 6 branch manifold and a set of coilovers. 
 
Plans will be fairly low key with it being a daily driver. We have some standard headlights to fit as the light output is terrible with the smoked units, also got some Rear smoked VR6  units to fit. I have a few sets of wheels in the garage including Porsche Twist reps and 16'' Merc E-Class wheels. Will most likely be the Merc wheels as the Twists are 17x9 on the rear lol. Will be a few other bits and pieces as and when i acquire them. 
 
Some pictures as it stands just now and a few pictures from the UKMK3's meet back in August. Along with my Mystic Blue 8v and my Brother inlaw's Indian Red VR6.
 

Hi all been a member of the club for a couple weeks now and have realised I haven't posted anything about my vr6 build, so here goes!
 
I've bought a 1997 mk3 golf vr6 for £550 so a bit of a bargain, when the shell is pretty solid apart from a couple rust patches, however it came with next to no interior a set of bucket seats rear brace and some sparco harnesses! 
 
So as you can imagine for someone who has never owned a VW before it was a bit of a daunting task but I like a challenge! 
 
So when getting the car I knew very little about it more off a punt if you like 19 year old car with 120k on the clock with no paperwork..... great! So here comes the guess work! From what I've been told the fuel pump has been tweaked to allow more fuel to flow however don't know if the pump has actually been changed. It revs very hard and flys through the gears making me think maybe some uprated/high-rise cams maybe? If this is the case I can probably assume it's had a remap as well. It's pretty lively! The car has been lowered on coilovers with some 16" bbs alloys and had a home spray job in army green! The exhaust has been made into a side outlet and is loud straight through pipe, I haven't looked closely enough to see if the manifold is standard or not and if it's been de-catted. It's loud! 
 
So onto what I've managed to do so far, I've ripped out the bucket seats and the harnesses sourced a full interior (seats, plastics, seatbelts front and rear and even a headliner allbeit without the sunroof cut out out but I'm sure I can make it work! ?) A new central locking pump and extra door looms (present ones had been snipped ?) got all that for £60 and a couple hours work down at the scrappies. 
Ive also decided to go for a front big brake upgrade so on the way i have got 312mm carriers and callipers painted red with kinetix grooved and dotted discs, HEL braided hoses (all 6 gotta help out the rears as well! ) and to finish it off brembo brake pads. So I got all this however thought I'd better concentrate on the inside before anything else! 
I took one look at the interior and got to admit I thought to myself what have I got myself into! Like I said the bucket seats and harnesses came out and I've fitted two normal seats, had to do a bit of fettling to get them in as the rails had been a bit chewed from previous owner fitting the bucket seats "/. Finally two seats in secured and ready to rock! Then go in the front seatbelts, all sorted and fully functioning! Not gunna lie I was quite proud of myself as I was crapping it trying not to set off the airbag inertia bar whilst fitting! So now I can drive it even if it is a shell! Now onto the central locking and electric windows. So previous owner thought it more than acceptable to snip the whole loom at drivers side rear door so that got pulled out and replaced from the one I pulled from the scrappies, I then plumbed in the central locking vacuum pipes along with the pump fitted in the boot and connected it all up and BOOM success! However I've managed to snap the connection for the vacuum chamber inside the door so got to come up with a repair for that! But I'm happy in knowing it all works! Here comes the slightly embarrassing part I got the electric windows all connected up and ready to go put the ignition on try the switch....nothing.... change the switch......still nothing......change the switch a third time..... still nothing! I'm about to burst at this point! The brother in law comes over and I explain to him and he laughs presses the window lock button on the centre console guess what starts working -.- I'm not living that one down for a while! ??
Next job was then to look at the floor below the rear seats the two grommet holes were badly rusted so had to chop all that out with a grinder felt a bit sketchy being so close to the fuel tank but hey I'm still here writing this so all good! Made some square plates with 23mm holes in the middle, welded down and grommets and cables refitted nice and snug and no rust! Going to treat the metal and spray with shutz to protect. On doing this I've notice for whatever bizarre reason the front seat mount has been grinded completely out and also the rear seat mounts, now I'm started to think the guy before was a complete imbisile!! He hasn't even treated the metal so there starting to get surface rust which I've sanded away now and I'm going to find a way of either fabricating my own front and rear mounts for the seats on find a donor car and grind the same portion out and weld back into the vr6! Pissed off isn't the word! The final bit that I've done is removed a makeshift metal plate with two switches attached the switches controlled a high power LED internal light which I've adapted the original light to hold and works a treat, and the other switch is for a second fan that is fitted to the car. Those switches have been relocated next to the OBD port where they fit nicely pull what remaining cables are behind there and find that unnecessarily again previous owner has chopped the whole loom for the radio! By this point I want to find the guy and just ask why lol and maybe several other things! Sourced a loom from an original mk3 head unit and re-wired the whole loom and hey presto I now have a working radio and a tidy looking centre console! Well that's what I've managed to do in about a weeks worth of work I need to take more pictures but and upload more but here is some for now and i shall endouver to carry on and share with you guys my progress!
 
hope you liked what you've read and any tips you can give me would be much appreciated! 
 
Many thanks

Just thought I'd put my pennies worth in on this. Why are you wanting to upgrade the front brakes with a bigger setup? The 288mm brakes are more than up to the job of stopping the car as VW intended. Unless you're after looks of having a bigger brake setup behind your wheels I would go for just uprated discs and pads and possibly Goodridge hoses up front. Bigger brakes will mean bigger wheels as the 312 set up won't fit with standard 15" wheels. 

Good Afternoon all,
 
Firstly, Merry Christmas to you all. hoping Santa brought you lots of goodies for your motors.
 
On behalf of the Admin and Mod team I would firstly like to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support throughout 2015.

Hi 
just throwing it out there!
mk 3 golf Gti anniversary with vr6 turbo engine for sale £5500
owned car for 8 years, engine done 4 years ago, only done about 4000 miles in that time. Just had turbo rebuilt, valve stem oil seals done. Downsides no speedo, and struggling to select gears. 
Have lots of specs and photos. If anyone is SERIOUSLY interested please pm me!

Just at the back of the coil pack is the secondary water pump. A long (6 inch cylinder) shaped thingimebob. That carries on running after switch off for a minute or two.....

They can handle low boost or high - good all rounder for these engines, if you see figures for like, 350hp/400hp max, then that's probably a reference to the fact that they are designed for diesels and their lower power figures, on petrol, a H1C can do about 640hp, HX40 can do 700hp. There can be a wide range of housings for the turbine side though which can affect spool.

Good evening Guys,

If you've taken a shine or special interest in a members car like we at VR6OC did with this one and think there car would be worthy of a feature then please drop me a private message. 
This members car was picked for the shear dedication, effort, time, money and I guess many many man hours that has gone into the build.
