very nice car,i have a red one on a 2006 plate which is pretty rare,29500 miles am looking to sell it but need an idea of how much i should be asking

Thanks dude!

Yeah the 2006 models are rare and thats a very low millage motor you got there. I'd look on pistonheads and auto trader to get an idea on how much they sell for. Off the top of my head I would say around £7.5k.

yeah i have seen them going for that much,need to get rid of it quick the missus has just passed her test and bought an ibiza(boo).She was gonna drive mine but after a test drive i decided against it.I never hardly drive the lcr and have had it advertised for 6k which i thought was reasonable but have had no real interest

It's proving to be very difficult to sell cars these days. Just got to be patient unfortunately. Make sure you advertise it everywhere, there's a for sale section for cars on this forum, make sure you put it up once your able to (need to have posted a set minimum amount to gain full access). Also recommend other VAG forums like vagoc.co.uk, edition38 ******.com and any other you find. Good luck with selling!

If it had of been 18 month ago mate I would of had it. Its exactly what I was after.

 

[lee2412]

if you hear of anyone who is looking for on mate let me know,will post it on here when i am a full memberis it 15 posts i need to add? The car is standard aswell but from looking around thats not always what everyone wants

 

[EL]

Will keep an eye out for you mate. I'd say the fact it's stock will make it more appealing to a wide range of people

 

[lee2412]

Clutch Update

After some extensive research and a lot of thinking I made a decision on what clutch option to go for. I decided to go for a up-rated clutch and a single mass flywheel combo. Although my flywheel is most likely in perfect working condition I didn't want to risk it and thought I might as well do it properly.

Que the Awesome GTI Clutch kit (Awesome Heavy Duty Sprung Clutch & Solid Flywheel - 6 speed 1.9 TDI / 1.8T). So far I have only seen great reviews of this kit. There are cars running over 400lb/ft torque with this clutch and they are all loving it hence why I believe it is the perfect option for my needs. When I spoke to Al at Awesome he gave me a lot of reassurance with this kit. There are three bonus sides to it also:

• Price: a very wallet friendly £625 for such a heavy duty clutch
• Feel: seems that it is not far off from the standard clutch feel so using it as a daily should be all good
• Noise: according to them and the reviews there is no chatter noise like usual single mass flywheels (not that it bothers me if it did)

There were a few people asking how much the flywheel weighed. Well after waiting a week for it to arrive I weighed the flywheel which is 10.4kg. The car is booked at the garage tomorrow to have it fitted so once I get the OEM dual mass flywheel I will weigh that also to see what the difference is.

Couple of pics:

Whilst enquiring about the clutch I also decided to see about getting a forge quick shifter at the same time. Awesome did me a very nice deal for both so thought I might as well I know a few people with these and they all rate them highly.

Hoping to get this fitted sometime over the weekend if I get a chance. Got a few other bits to do also, like fitting my LED sidelights which are currently just sitting in my bedroom!!! Car also needs a clean as its a absolute state, hasn't been washed since November..............yikes

Looks like a nice piece of kit mate, I want one Make sure you stick up a review of it. Its good to see your doing it right.
Forge short shifter is mint too, got one on mine
Make sure you post before and after pics of the wash so we can see how mucky your motor is.

Will do indeed mate. Looking forward to getting the car back to full strength. Boring driving these cars when they are not running 100%

And there's another thumbs up for the quick shifter

Yeah I need to get my camera out to take the pics to show how bad it is. Never been so dirty

 

[RDS]

I might have to pinch the keys off you to see what the clutch is like on RR day

Great looking kit as discussed recently with you mate, and you'll love the short shifter, I love mine

Looking forward to your review of this clutch setup as if it's decent I'll most likely get it later in the year

If the car is filthy, bring it round mine at some point over the weekend I'll do it!

Cheers mate, will take you for a spin so you can see for yourself once it's all bedded in (still owe you a drive to show you the brake setup lol).

Iv just been so busy lately it's mad and whenever I get time to sort the car it's bloody pissing down or something comes up. Will sort it ASAP though don't you worry. Need it back to the standard of the group

 

[t0m]

Sounds good to me mate I might have my new brake setup by the time we do get round to that drive, but then again mine will take months to bed in the amount I drive my car, lol. Recent MOT that I just got through showed I've done 3,100 miles in 12 months... no wonder she's never really dirty

I'm sure she'll be back upto standard soon mate! I want mine running at a good standard again. We're all striving bud..

 

[drka-drka]

Let me know how you get on with fitting the quick shift mate

I fancy one for mine only cause I can't get my standard one clean enough to show the bay off, haha

Will do mate, that's an interesting reason to get one I must say haha!

 

[drka-drka]

Haha yeah I know, was speaking to them at autosport about them and he was going on about all the differences I'd notice. Just said couldn't care less tbh just want it as it looks better. Got a weird look
