If its your coil pack I might be able to send you mine depending whether or not I can get the MSD unit in mine before hand.

[Ben J]

Keen to see the notch work. Mines going to need to be done soon

[rayray086]

Good ****, would be keen to see some "during" pics!

[vdubin]

Dont worry boys ill have a full photo & write up

Also jumped the gun a little , I think its best to run all the wires first sort tanks out Air lines then do the notch & bags
either way there will be plenty of pics !

If the coilpack is on the way out, but not completely rooted - you may want to look at this thread:

http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/forums/f47/diy-mkiii-vr6-coilpack-repair-64780.html

Coilpacks on these cars are very prone to failure - replacing them with something completely different (eg MSD or the coilpack from a particular type of Ford that it's name escapes my memory at the moment) but then you need to re-do the wiring and get new ends put on the spark plug leads.

With it being pretty cheap to get some high-temp epoxy, it's definitely worth having a crack at reconditioning it.

[Ben J]

Loving it. Is a shame you couldn't get hardlines to play nice... I think they'd look awesome.

[thestu]

Very well done!

[nightphotographer]

Looks amazing man!

[vdubin]

Cheers mate, Its amazing what you can achieve when you take your time & be patient lol

Loving it. Is a shame you couldn't get hardlines to play nice... I think they'd look awesome.

I know ! Its to hard to explain why It wouldnt work On here.Maybe the next car I bag ill go all out with hard lines

Very well done!

Getting there

Looks amazing man!

Photoshoot sooon !!

Not Notching it..we Had a good look at whats involved, Its not hard at all.
But Not happy with the fact you cant Weld the inside aka motor side with out taking the motor out !!
Most ppl if not all will just weld the outer side and be done with it.

so to get a couple more mm lower its not worth it or safe.

Changes again, hardline can happen now very basic ones but hard lines.
From the compressors to the water traps which are now hidden behind.
