Re: can anyone tell me were I could get these side skirts

The MRD skirts are as rare as hens teeth. They were made by a very small company called "mental racing developments" in liverpool, but i dont know if they are still around.

Re: Poorly rev 3 tubby

Thanks mate, i got a decent settlement in the end after emailing lots of research, however i still have the car and i think its a worthy project for someone if they want it. Apart from the rear end, its in superb condition. I just dont have the time to repair it :( I cant break it myself as i dont w...

Poorly rev 3 tubby

Hello, Its been a while since i last posted on here, but some of you may remember me. My Rev 3 tubbys been hit in the rear by an old gimmer, and its been declared a total loss. The only reason they say is because new parts are nearly impossible to source from Japan. Ive found plenty of spares online...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Vacuum hoses

4mm is a pain to get hold of from most places. They usually sell 3mm or 5mm, which is the problem i faced when fitting my boost controller. I ended up going to an industrial park and finding an industrial compresser and installer place....they had stuff up to 200psi which cost me a mere 40p a metre!...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Berk Exhaust arriving 2mrw...fitting question

From experience i would say allow a lot more time than you would expect. If you are still using a stock exhaust system, then i would say an angle grinder is probably required, as some of the sections near to the back box will be very rust, and the nuts will be so corroded you cant get a socket on. I...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Tyre tread depth markers?

You need to have 1.6mm accross the middle 2/3rds of the width of the tyre. In other words, you are allowed 1/6th either side, but its is the centre part that is most important. I wouldnt take any notice of tread wear indicators, they are only an indicator. Tread depth varies from country to country,...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] whats the difference import or uk spec

No, the G model was around 118bhp. The rev 1-2 were 158bhp and were either called UK GTi16, or JAPAN G_ltd, and the rev 3 was 174bhp. This was the same no matter if it was a jap import or uk.

Gti16v UK = G-ltd JPN
