laguna splitters are too chavy these days!

But Eric, it just wouldnt work. Look at the front of a MK3 and then the front of a MK2....

It would look so stupid :lol:

Reason people get them, is because no cutting or bending required to fit on a MK3 bumper.

So really, saying use it for a MK2 is saying 'just use any old splitter and make it fit, off of any car' .....

fuck knows man, i think i just looks wierd as its just cut off at the end lol, a mk1 golf splitter would deffinately look cool

Duck bill would work well . OR the lower valance off a g60 .. Just needs to fit in with the arches i say :)

neeed a gearbox! ime so desperate to have it fitted now :D

ime even going to put off having the damage on my door repaired in favour of buying a box and having the diff fitted for bugjam!

1/4 mile times over show and shine ;)

i should easy be looking at low 15's with standard tyres and mid 14's with the slicks surely?

There she is then, turning into quite the performance vw :p I'm soon to fit my GT box, i'll let you know how that feels on afh

Good to see people still benefitting from me twisting Quaifes arm into making those diffs. Yet to try one myself though haha.

P.S car looks amazing!

so today i decided it would be a good idea to strip the cams off and pull out the hydro tappets to give them a service as it has been tapping a fair bit recently

first thing i found was this...

so in a mad rush i tryed findind a new one to buy, local motor store who have never let me down...nope, GSF...nope, ECP...nope! VW...nope!

ahh what a nighmare!

ended up having to 'borrow' one from a friend while i wait a few days for a new one to arrive

so panic over i got on with cleaning all the rest of them which is so easy i would recommend it to anyone with a tappy top end :)

so once they ahd all been soaked in oil i popped them back in and fired her up, tap tap tap tap.... let it get to temperature and went for a drive and came back, tap tap tap tap, so in a huff i went off and worked on the BMW, came back to it 4 hours later and she runs sweet as a nut, not a single tap, bliss!

so in the huff i ragged the 3.5 from the beemer and got it mounted on the spinner:

Looks like that one may not have been compressing properly on the "piston" inside, check the relavent lobe too, i would be suprised if thats not marked.

You've had your cams "reground" right? I'm sure they will have had to reduce the base-circle and "ramp" of the lobes profile, which leads to a much harsher contact between the lobe and tappet, which in turn can lead to this!

a few days later and its silent when cold but when it warms up it starts tapping again, not badly, but its loud enough to be embarrassing!
