LiamD Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 So I've now owned this car for 1 year and 2 days. 2nd longest after my Lupo! As much as I'd love an Audi S4 I think I love this even more.Anyways.. GTi Inters has been and gone and here's some pretty pics and videos.One bonus of GTi Inters was my surprise result! I won Class 3 in the Sprint at Inters on Sunday! How I managed this I don't know, since my performance modificashunz come to the total cost of 270 pounds, with change left over.Here's a video of me spanking a modified VR, the burgundy one has a filter, zorst and a re-map.http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk84/davidsonley1/?action=view¤t=LiamD2.mp4Here's a video of me giving an Evo FQ 400 a damn good ****ing gohttp://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk84/davidsonley1/?action=view¤t=LiamD1.mp4Getting R-A-P-E-D by a Corrado VR6 TurboThen i fitted a deep splitter and took a photo with some dick's white Lupo So yeah. Big Fat Tour this weekend. See ya there, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Trophy winner, yeah? Little milestone for the mileage too...Still doing good economy too. Not bad for a drive home from work!Anyway, more stripping out coming soon. Gonna take this to the next level as I want a sub 1000kg VR and to crack 200bhp/ton keeping it N/A.Oh yeah and the rest of my splitter died when I hit a pothole. Lasted a week longer than the previous deep splitter I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 vr6 are bullit proof-if looked aftermine lasted for 192k before it went bang It tends to get fresh oil and filter every 2 or 3k... and only Synta Silver (unless I urgently need a top up).Could do with a fuel filter, I imagine it's never been changed.The chains have never been done to my knowledge, but they don't rattle, so why bother. I'll probably replace the oil pump and pick up before running gas. It's probably never been done so I'll do it to be on the safe side.I see so many people at the track spend loads on fancy cams and manifolds, but run crap oil, don't service their cars, and then wonder why they seem slow. Oh and I've got some decent brakes coming ASAP next month. Nothing too fancy, just enough to stop me better than the warped pieces of crap I have on at the moment.

LiamD Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 lol cheers for the pics guys. Although those pics really do show just how bad my cleaning is, and how bad my paint is Scott with the green Mk3 did the badge for me the black grill piece is temporary as the old one is absolutely battered from stone chips.we got bored and did some more weight removal yesterday.. i'll post some more pics when i finish cleaning the doors as they look a bit poop right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well after putting this up for sale and getting responses along the lines of "best price cash mate" and some dreamers, and mates messing me about, it's staying for the time being.Bet you never thought this would happen too...In winter mode. I say I cleaned it, I basically washed it and left it..Back to VR6 lights and some stickers removed.Can you tell I like racing?The first of my turbo parts turned up the other day. Manifold should be here tomorrow/friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have fallen back in love with the car now it has an interior in, even if it's in bad nick.It's also made me drive the car a LOT slower. Next step is to purchase the turbo and intercooler. Probably going for a Holset HX30 or HX35, intercooler will be some crazy custom thing I imagine.Just waiting for a mail back from United Motorsports now with the prices for the ECU/fuelling parts and exactly what parts I need to achieve the figures I want The aim is to take it to Le Mans 24hrs next year with my friend's Renault Extra Van.

LiamD Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 turned up today not pretty, but my god... i'll be surprised if it breaks.United Motorsports have been mega helpful. They're sorting me out with their ECU software, 6x 42lb injectors and a 95mm billet MAF housing. That'll be purchased after the turbo which should be here next month now as funds have dropped significantly this month. Need to keep an eye out for a short runner intake manifold too, one with a dual fuel rail would be fun should I ever wish to run 12x injectors and go for 1000+ ponies (unlikely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Looks like it's been made out of girders or somethingLike you say, I'd be surprised if that breaks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 it's cast iron. I'll be honest it isn't a fancy SPA manifold, but they are big money (and look identical) and I still have to work to a budget, I'm far from rich and have to factor in I'll have to pay someone to build this motor up. I'll be investing way too much for me to do it and **** it up on the first turn of the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 As long as it doesn't go the way of the G40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) I'm not letting any retards near it this time. Mr Outhwaite and Mr Leigh will be entrusted with it I hope. A car they built won best engineering at Ed38, and I know they wouldn't let me have the car if it wasn't 200% perfect, as they know I drive cars as they are meant to be driven!
