  1. yes please how about an LS3 E46 made for drifting? http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1548056 from http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/Ian_King1212/CIMG8806.jpg to http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/Ian_King1212/kings42.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/Ian_King1212/IMG_0176.jpg
  2. if you're only getting springs, I strongly suggest you spring (pun intended) for the best.....Swift the fact that they use a light material of their own is great 1)less material means less weight 2) less material means thinner coils 3) thinner coils means lots os spring travel until coil bind...(read: it stays linear for long compression distances and keeps the car feeling the same without any spikes in behavior) http://www.swiftsprings.com/ good luck!
  3. +1 a good silicone or lithium based grease (any auto parts place will have it, NAPA) will help
  4. do a compression leakdown test
  5. Hey guys, I need a recommendation for wheel painting I wanted to powdercoat a set of OEM wheels to anthracite this is what the wheel looks like http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3387/15b81cq5.jpg preferably somwhere fairly cheap for the refiinish/paint process
  6. by the way..Ohlins is on par with other HUGE damper names such as Moton, JRZ, Pennske...... I wish I had Ohlins on my motorcycle
  7. Koni must make a coilover set for your car, no? How about AST? AST;s customer service is astronomically good and it's a monotube damper (read: frickin awesome) How about Ground Control? <-- Koni based systems I know for sure H&R and KW make coilovers for your car.....<----see www.tirerack.com yes linear springs are a must and make sure they're not shietty springs....... some spring will near coil bind (read: useless) if the coils are too thick.....I'd recommend getting coilover springs from a good company such as Hypercoil, Vogtland or Swift if you diecide to go for a KW kit, lemme know, they sent me a 100 dollar rebate i don t need at all since I'm planning on going for a Koni shock based coilover spring with Vogtland springs (TC Kline's Trumatch system)
  8. just a GoPro HD (suction cup mount with case) http://www.creativevideo.co.uk/public/product_images/altimage/07%2010%2020091254912279gopro_hd-surf-hero%20copy.jpg
  9. if you're doing the clutch, might as well do the timing chains, their guides and tensioner....... it s a tape deck, the radio from my MK3 "Premium Audio with CD changer control" as it says on the face of it
  10. i got a stock radio for VR6 MK3 with the code from my old 96 jetta want it? free PM me
  11. if it is the TB, try cleaning out the TB with brake cleaner or carb cleaner (preferably the former since it s a bit stronger) some relevant reading http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4006021-Help-P1580-after-chip-fell-out-of-ECU http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed/Campingart/jettatech/p1582/index.htm
  12. at least they provide the tool stock so you don t have to go to the dealer I had gotten a metal one on ebay for my old VR6 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-VR6-Spark-Plug-Wires-Removal-Tool-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f041ffddaQQitemZ270652145114QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools very useful I know a few things about the vr6 ....it s my favorite motor ever made (not the most powerful by a long shot but it s interesting with the V/inline arrangement and it sounds like chewbacca getting raped)
  13. no comments on the onboard video? someone here is bound to have driven putnam and can give me advice
  14. replace the TB if the MAF doesn t fix it be sure the TB is from a 96-99 vr6 motor (GTI, Jetta GLX, Passat B4 generation)
  15. MK3 don t get that problem...only the MK4 seems to get TB alignment issues echo anson drive with MAF unplugged you can get a MAF from a non-VR6 motor from another MK3 (2.0L 4cyl) .....the housing are different but the actual maf elements are the same, DON T pull on the spark plug wires when you re gonna do the plugs....on your hood prop, there's gonna be a plastic tool attached to it (hopefully it s still there), that s you spark plug wire puller tool....you hook it onto the aprak plug side of the wire, twist to engage the end of the wire and pull with the tool...if you don t use the tool, you have a big change of breaking the wire
