Welcome to the site mate I'm only down the road in newark, and work in kirklington. Your reg is almost the same as mine as well

If the tuning is done right i.e.. fuelling/boost then you should have no problems. My old R had 307 BHP set up on a rolling road with no probs

Hi Darran,
Welcome to the forum mate don't worry I'm not just some dodgy guy looking to nick your car lol so if you see somebody creeping past eyeing up your motor it's just me checking her out  

I can't believe you live literally just up the road from me, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to own a GTI-R round here lol.

I'm supprised I haven't seen your car before because I would notice a GTIR if I saw one, there used to be a few around here but now days you hardly ever see one

I know of a guy on huithwaite road with a red one, what's wrong with yours? It's alway good having another R nearby so if either of us get any problems we can always swap parts over to find the cause of the problem

Cheers Darren thats good of you to offer help if i need it, like you say it should be handy having another R owner nearby.

Cheers Darren, it will be handy having another R owner near by so we can help each other out from time to time.

My car has low compression on one cylinder and is burning oil so suspected piston ring land failure.
I'm buying a second hand engine from Paul who is breaking his car on here.
My plan is to rebuild my engine with forged parts etc as a bit of a project

Sounds good mate, id like to c its progres. Mine will be garaged up from end of the month till next april so id like to pop round in it to yours before then if thats ok

welcome to the site Darren, good luck with the restoration.
