Cooling issues?

Its got potential. Its not a RA though? Does it have wind up windows? I used to like scoobies now unless they are a type R

Can't beat vr howl..still you can make the 8vs go well.

Re: The car you wish you never sold... What were they? My Sx - Written off in a week...:( And my Hybrid - c

I hope he appreciates it..haha Dont get second thoughts..either than or make the Mk2 miiiint with a standard bay.

I want your mk2..when you selling it? :D lol

I cant tell you how tempted i am for this..lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hybrid-turbo-Golf-A3-VW-Audi-1-8t-/270706557230?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f075e412e

If it is the same as the 07 320d's my mates has just had a map and its transformed the car. Its not made it a racer just how it feels it should be from the factory. Much less shifting and revving to get it to go. Peak torque at 2000 revs which is around 80 in 6th so ideal for the mway too.

Front needs more lows too!

Im out.

Now get some X5's -

Nice. My mate has a 320d which is a newer 07 plate which was guuuutless. He just had a map and its now 202bhp and something like 300ft/lbs. Its still not rapid, just nice and effortless. Not sure if its the same lump?

Looks cracking.

Lovely apart from the wheels imo. I would love one but theyre just not quick enough which is a shame.

Wide arch looks great from the front but not 100% on the rear. Brakes look laaavely. Whats size rotors?

Thats strange. Get it on a vagcom. A map WILL make them better on fuel unless you boot it ofcourse...lol

No worries chap. Ive just always gone by this sort of ruling

Bill is a f**king hero and who does the work and mapped mine. The guy does everything for the love not for the money. He was mapping mine at 10.30pm and would have happily been there all night i reckon! haha (Nick, pm'ed you back)

Well it depends what RR you have it on of course but on a recent RR day i attended most people with a K03 were running 185+ Most being low 190's. They certainly dont make the 200bhp some mappers advertise though..lol

Bloody lovely. One of the nicest ive seen. Please mount your harnesses higher though! You could cause yourself more damage in a accident with them like that. Mount them to the brace.

K04 swap is simples if you have all the parts. Englebert nowt wrong with 144k on a 1.8T and modding..haha! There's loads on 150k+ on the VW forums. I know a lad running 220bhp on 186k and still on the original turbo and gearbox with no signs of giving up.. The only weak point generally is...

My mapped 1.8T is better on fuel than original. I'm at stage 2 with K03s and running 243bhp and 267 and thats on the limit. Next step for me a new turbo and injectors. CR turbo's will hybrid a K03 for £600 and thats good for 280bhp with no messing about. Thats what i'm planning. Then i get silly...

If its a run around no point going for a K03s. Just map it. A K03 will still see 190bhp.

You've really got to drive that far? Lol! Where in NI are you? Ive got a good mate in Newtownards.

Banded steels are only going to look shite on that. Keep your reps on there.

Cheers bud. I do need a camera though. Iphones are crap at the best of times. It is ulitmate comfort and quite quick really too. There's not much that will "leave" it on a d/c. But then its not the fastest car. Its quicker than a focus ST and holds with a collegues E46 M3 cab so that will do...

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Looks oem almost haha

Do the cage a lairy colour...:D Edit or red. Will stand out and look good against your centre caps..;)

Arse 6's look sweet on that. Well, not quite RS6's are they? More Audi Sports or whatever the flatter ones are called.

You could easily get it behind. You know some chavs gunna give that a yank..lol Turbo conversion, keep the smooth bonnet and lose the spoiler and your onto a winner.
