bodgemonkey Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Been entrusted with rebuilding twin strombergs. New diaphragms, needles and a good clean. Idling was really rough before but after a lot of swearing i got the tuning sorted. But never again Quick video of the result, check the idle speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryW Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Good spot 'tis the old man's VR6 Proper fun Always fancied a G60 but never had any luck looking for a low mileage clean one in white :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 G60s are too much hassle IMO, the chargers are just too temperamental. That said I wouldn't mind one in the mk1 Low mileage doesn't always mean better though Rory RS is on 70k miles and has needing constant tinkering and cash thrown at it to get it anywhere near reliable. That corrado is touching 190000 miles and still runs sweet as a nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryW Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 FordFixOrRepairDaily;-)Integrale is a no go for now, its had a smash up front at some point PLUS I really can't justify it if I'm honest with myself. Stuck in the E46 330 bm for now, nooooooooo fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom C Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Personally I prefer pre 90 spec but prefer the 90 spec seats. Went and test drove an lancia evo integrale yesterday, huge smile! Think I'm going to get it checked over and look into ownership. Very jealous! I have a Delta 1.3 sadly not quite a Delta EVO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 One alarm ripped out ready to be binned And some goodies arrived yesterday too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Got some more parts today in return for helping a mate out with his mk1 20VT. Some braided oil lines for the turbocharger plus billet adaptors and what not, some new gaskets and billet line clamps, and some nice NOS parts for the golf. Also been offered to trade my American Racing twists (the shiny ones above) with some Mim 1900's/G60 steels or a half leather interior from a Seat adapted to fit a mk1. Not too sure what to go for but will get some pichers up when i do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Swapped the twists for something with a bit of dish 15x7J ET13, should fill the arches up a bit better without rubbing. Just waiting on the distributor to arrive so I can get that fitted too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
