Hi guys,
This is my 94 rado VR6, had it about 9 months now.
Spent the first few months getting it right and running properly, and since getting it there's been a long list of things that have been fixed from a new steering rack to bumpers painting.
-182k miles on the clock and counting
-full rebuild at 107k with new chains, tensioners etc and some schrick 268 cams with a map from stealth
-BMC CDA induction
-MK5 golf R32 sump and oil pump (smaller than the stock rado one)
other than that the car is standard engine wise.
Sat on KWV1s with a nice big skid plate underneath to stop me running through sumps...
Wheels are currently D90s 16x8 et52.3 all round with 195/40s, 30mm spacers up front and 35mm on the back with camber shims
smoothed side repeaters, bonnet washers and front reg plate recess
side strips removed
dewipered rear
rolled and slightly pulled arches all round
heres a few pics
skid plate
sorry about picture quality theyre all taken on my iphone :\
just finishing up with the last few maintenance/service parts this week; new ball joints, ARB mounts, drop links, alternator belt, plugs and leads... then I'm after some 9J rears and new tyres to get the stance dialed as well as I can static
EDIT: also looking into getting my engine raised to close the front arch gap as much as possible and decatting the exhaust for extra clearance
Follow me on instagram @maxrado if you want to, usually the first place to get updated!
Thanks,
Max
