    Hi, swapped coil pack and the beast fired up then purred like a kitten which made me very happy and much less nervous. I do still have problems; Car begins to hesitate and idle very rough once warmed up and out of cold start, this is accompanied by a rough clunking sound coming from the bell housing but while it runs smoothly this sound is not there, also when I press the clutch the noise goes away so either i did not tighten all the bolts on the pressure plate or my throw out bearing is dead but this is not a concern, I can remove the transmission and fix this issue in one day. My conce

    mmmm 95 corrado, that's a unicorn here in the states That wire was sorted out, my new problem is no spark, I have a new car but can't get spark I posted about it here: http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/46232-help-understanding-why-new-motor-does-not-want-to-run/ I have tested everything and it should work but it does not. I have been working approximately 60 hrs/week lately and have had no time to touch the car but as soon as I get a break I will be swapping coil pack, cleaning round connector on the engine, and I have no idea what else to do to get the car to work

    Hi everyone, My 2 year long build is finally complete but not quite running yet, some history; Car has not driven since 2003, in fact I have yet to drive a car I've owned for 2 years haha. Purchased from original owner, had transmission rebuilt including Quaife LSD, upgraded my suspension, brakes, etc. etc. Motor: New build that was a slow project I did in my garage at home. It is a 3.0L block w/ Arrow forged rods, new bearings, new hardware, Wossner 83.5mm 11:1 Pistons (boohoo no turbo ) p&p head & 264/260 cams. The original plan was 3.0 8:1 CR Turbo build so Tec 3 standalon

    Hi, and thanks for the welcome. I consider myself to be more the "oldschool" type of watercooled VW enthusiast which is what and who gave the vortex it's fame, without going into detailed bashing haha unfortunately as it stands currently you are much better off getting advice on your "stance" and doing ungodly things like notching the frame so the car is "slammed" etc. rather than some constructive critical input to technical obstacles like the ones I've come across, my assumption is that all the "oldschool" gear heads have fled just as I am doing now lol. If you were local I would be more t

    Hi folks, my frustrating build has lead me here after being a long vortex faithful... I've owned/built many a vw's over the better part of the past 12 years or so, was boost crazed with my G60 for more than half that time period. Now I'm on my 2nd VR6 and it's a 95 GTI. here's a copy/paste from my build thread and follow up posts that I made to it: First Came the CAR: This would be my 2nd MKIII and 2nd VR6 car, I'm taking what I learned about these motors and with this one I decided to take care of the motor before anything else. I tend to drive a lot and very long distances so conside
