Title: Timberland Golf 3 update p13 engine update
Post by: Timberland on 21 February 2012, 20:49
Hello,

I'm from Holland so my Englisch is not very good, especially writing.
So it can be difficult to read, i'm sorry about that.

I have a big project of saving a Mexican vr6...

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/puntoracing/vr/DSC_0003.jpg)
here it was in a very poor state.
I have let it repainted and cleaned some parts.

i mounted a rebuild 2,9 vr6 in the car.
With black Samco coolant hoses.

Post by: Seanl on 22 February 2012, 12:00
Meetings are usually quite small, and just with people from local areas. They usually only last a few hours and are just for people to have a little look at others cars, and to catch up etc. Shows are large and usually well organised events. They generally last a weekend and have lots of entertainment, stalls for sellers, cars judged in certain catagories, live bands or DJ's doing sets in the evening, and lots of beer and barbecues! Its a great weekend and good for people that have a long way to travel like yourself.  :smiley:
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: Timberland on 22 February 2012, 14:08
aha ok, then i'm looking for a show.

And MIVW isn't :laugh: :tongue: They don't force you to drink and last year they had to extend the show field compared to previous years as there were so many show cars on the Sunday.

You can kip in a hotel at ed38, probably the only show in the UK that I'd travel all that way for, although maybe gti international if you make a weekend of it.

One last question, what is the name of the Audi alloys and sizes etc?

17" MB Segins from a SL500 with 185/35/17 tyres on et46 with 25mm adapters.
The Audi's are Norwegian monoblocks 17" 7,5j et40 Also for sale  :grin:

Post by: DanChave on 26 February 2012, 19:09
I think the Audi's mirror polished would be a winner!

I am running 16's on my mk3 and I have always thought that was the perfect size, however, you are definitely changing my mind with your wheel choices!
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: Timberland on 26 February 2012, 20:29
Well the set of Audi's that i wanted, was a set of rubbisch wheels.
The seller told me they where in Mint condition but that was not the case.
So i stay with the MB wheels for the moment  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: DanChave on 26 February 2012, 21:17
Although the MB's are great wheels, It's a shame the Monoblocks were not in the condition you wanted. Could they not be refurbished?
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: Timberland on 27 February 2012, 10:33
That was to much work.
But i've allready found and bought a other set of Monoblocks  :tongue:
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: DanChave on 27 February 2012, 10:55
Awesome! Are they the same style or different?

Like I said before, fully polished, I think they would look awesome! I love the Merc rims as well but I think the Audi rims look fresher :)
Title: Re: Timberland Mexico mk3 VR6
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 27 February 2012, 13:44
I reckon stick with the Audi rims as the Merc ones are more common.

Post by: Timberland on 28 February 2012, 12:03
Well the adapters will be made for the segins.
20 and 25mm thick.
I think that for the audi's i need 15 and 20mm.
First gonna try it, the segins are nice if they stay in the arches
the monoblocks need to be straight with the arches for max result :drool:

I agree about the gearstick, having the gaitor covering the knob looks a bit strange :undecided:

Haha i'm not as bad as a mate of mine.
he changed 35 sets of wheels in the past 2 years  :laugh:

But i would use 185/35r17, i just love that size of tire

Post by: DanChave on 02 October 2012, 07:53
35 sets! Thats crazy! How many have you had since you have had the VR? Cheers for that, I was looking into different tyre sizes and I didn't know weather to go for 165/40/17's or 185/35's. Your's always sits really well, so I thought I would get your opinion :)
