Hi I’m doing my ring gap but I’m stuck standard piston top ring gap 0.34 dies this sound ok can’t get any help anywhere so any info would be greatful
Hi pal I got a 2010 Astra Vxr who much to do valv steam
Nice work! So you just connect the gauge where the square bolt is, left of the coolant temperature sensor? 5:29
yes mate that's it
thanks a lot!
Sold my VXR since Vinnie but I really dig this look. Like I keep saying PLEASE make the spoiler blue will look so sick. I’ll watch forever tho 🎉
Look great mate turned out well mate
Thank you mate 👍🏼
I like it mate
Thank you 🙌🏼
Definitely a midlife crisis idea lol...need a hug....car is fantastic without this mod...nice and clean look for me imo 👍
Well I am nearly 50 😂 and yeah I don’t mind giving you a hug lol and yeah I’ll know I’m pretty much the same as well, but it’s always good for a little change sometimes mate and the good thing about is if I don’t get on with it I can always take it back off with no drama 👍🏼
Absolutely love it vin! Well done and fair play dude, quality!!
Thank you mate, really appreciate it. I’ll see your video the other day. Glad things are looking on the up for you now and loving the MR2 I had one back in the day I’ll send you over some pictures of it mate
@Vinnievxr666 yea man do it! Be good to see them, see if I can take any inspiration from it 😁 you pleased with the wrap outcome?
I think you have done a cracking job there mate it looks amazing free hand design is so cool definitely a good choice
Cheers mate, and yeah I think it worked out quite well as well mate 👍🏼
@ love your videos big fan of the vxr rang and the work you do to them is amazing
Looks mint vinny
Cheers Mate 👍🏼
that turned out great vinn ,wasnt sure at first but it works, now that the blue has been broken up, (and its just an idea , photoshop needed) refurb the wheels and paint them arden blue but then wrap 3 spokes black, but only half the spoke or it might make them look like 3 spokes ,still havent painted the boys bumper yet ,but ironically we just finished putting new a arms on and were discussing what to do with his gearbox and your name popped up, then this vid popped up lol, who would you take a gearbox to or is that something you can do ? going to get the box mod done next year ,whats a good clutch to get ? as he has found the limits of the standard one , great vid as always
Thank you Mate and yes the wheels are gonna be next on the list for refurb but stay tuned because I’ve got a little twist for the Wheels very soon it’s not gonna be a permanent thing only for when I do special events What sort of power is he going to be running because I would say up to 500bhp I would go for six paddle clutch and anything over, go for a four paddle clutch mate
Привет бро, очень круто❤
Cheers bro, thank you 👌🏼👍🏼
I think it looks good mate, definitely looks different.
Cheers mate 👍🏼
Hi vinnie. Going to attempt to do this myself. What did you have to undo to lower the subframe a couple of inches? Many thanks andrew
Hi Mate, if you message me on my Instagram, I’ll give my number so we can talk mate
@ i don’t have instagram. Will use my wife’s account 👍🏻
What’s your instagram name mate?
@@Vinnievxr666 i have sent a message to you 👍🏻
@@Vinnievxr666did you get my message on insta?
Doing my first build just a rod job on mine my set came with piston rings what are the ring gap min and max any info 😊
@@davidfayers8733 you should have a sheet that comes with the pistons that will give you the proper gaps they all very with different road types or track mate
Hi mate I’ve sent you a message on instagram.
Swirl pot/fuel system loud asf!!! 😂👀🔊🔊
I love how the car community comes together to help other people out. So proud to be a part of the club. Gutted i couldnt make the day but chuffed for all involved ❤
How did you remove the alternator becousei can't the bellow bolt is not letting me take it out
it doesn't come out all the way it comes back enoughh to remove the alternator mate
Hello Vinnie. Quick question, after my setup was made a map. I have TurboSmart goodies, can I change the wastegate acctuator from 0,6bar to 0,8 preload pressure at the nuts without mapping? Because I have some issue at boost. So in the map looks like from 2000rpm can do 1bar (no overboost) and from 2800rpm 1,25bar till 6000rpm and after that 0,8bar till 7.000rpm. With this where do you think need to be strong or where need to open the wastegate? 0,8bar? 0,6bar I think maybe not enough? Sorry for my bad english. Thank you your answer.
Hey got a zafira gsi meant to be running 300bhp what best spark plugs to run?
just standard ones for the moment mate
@@Vinnievxr666 any idea what standard ones are? Like 6 ngk on euros lol 😆
Nice job mate!! Looks 🔥🔥🔥 will do a nice job of keeping things cooler!! 🫶🏼
Only problem I can see with driving it on the roads is you don't have an indicator now
Yeah, hence why I don’t drive it on the road like that. It’s only for track use. If you watch the end of the video I do explain that I have got two headlights and use the other one for driving on the road mate
@@Vinnievxr666 It was just with you saying you were going to drive it home with it fitted because you dont need headlights in the day.
@@T-Wrex1864 yeah I’ll see what you mean, but what I didn’t explain I live literally two minutes down the road lol
@@Vinnievxr666 As long as there isnt any right turn. I had my Cavalier Turbo wrote off in 2018 from someone not indicating, same again with my black vxr in 2021. Id hate it for someone to pull out on you with that headlight.
Love it, got one for mine, I swap over in summer 😂😂. Mate what did I write 1st time 😂😂😩
So ugly 😢
Sick little mod that is mate, love it
Thank you mate 👍🏼
Sick
Thanks mate
nice one vinnie, be interested to know how much cooler it makes it, what your new bonnet needs is an suburu wrx bonnet vent, it brought down the charge temps on my honda accord non turbo by 15 degrees as the air was directed to the inlet ,worth thinking about for race wars
Hi mate as soon as I find out I’ll let you know if it helped out and yeah that is a good idea with Subaru bonnet vent 👌🏼👍🏼
Sounds lovely
Seen ashlee and her vxr I'd say about 8years ago at santa pod usc glad to see she still has it
Nice one vin! Keeping the vauxhall community safe 👌 hope you're well dude
Vinnie you have stole the subframe bolt for the video, of course 😂
I know 😂
Nicely done mate great to see u posting regular again 🙌
Thank you mate, yeah getting back into the swing of things again hope you’re good though mate 🙌🏼👍🏼
@@Vinnievxr666 yea all good here brother
Hi Vinnie, do those solid poly bushes increase road noise within the cab over oe bushes, & also ive heard that once the grease dries out they creak but it can be cured with ptfe tape. Good advice about those ageing nuts/bolts, I spray my nuts with jenolite 🤔🤔which does help.
To be honest with you mate, I’ve not actually fitted them to my own car so I couldn’t tell you if they increase road noise and yes sometimes they can creek when they dry out and yes mate, that is a good shout with jenolite spray 👌🏼
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Vinnie for the shout out. Made my day that did 😂👍👍👍
What does wedging mean
It’s where they put a metal material between the water jackets to stop the piston slave from breaking mate
What mph did you get in the 1/2 mile Vinnie?
I think it was 159mph mate on the vbox but I lost a bit of mph at the beginning because of no traction
What is the sensor you connected under the car for? Oil pressure or water temp?
it was oil mate
Would it possible if you could replace my valve stem seals please?
i also liked how you said my name at 7:22 lmao,, i wont mention the tuner, not my thing bad mouthing a business, my son just got home from work and said they replied and said if he gets the stalk sorted that they will sort it for him,, were over near heathrow ,dont know where your based
Oh shit, yeah just realise lol I’m Not too far from Wimbledon mate, you’re not too far

Vinnie. Can you do a shout out if you reply to this comment to my mate Tim and tell him to get that VXR engine he’s bought into his GSI!! It’s been sat on a pallet for bloody months! I can’t get him to get his arse in gear so maybe you can 😂 Cheers bud
@@Buck3366 yeah not a problem I can do that for you 👌🏼
Just to let you know the videos going out today at 3 o’clock mentioning Tim and he’s engine on the pallet 👍🏼
@@Vinnievxr666 Vinnie you are a legend brother 🤣. Thank you so much for remembering that’s awesome!!
@@Buck3366 no worries mate, any time 👍🏼
my son after the dyno session is annoyed, although his car made 340hp, he wasnt told until the car was off the dyno that because his car hasn't got cruise control he couldn't have the switchable maps, i asked if it could be put on the sport button and was told no, didn't even get a price reduction, so no pops and bangs which he wanted, i suppose its down to getting the right tuner, love to hear your views on this
@@RacinRitchieyt first of all where did he take it to get it mapped and if he gets the cruise control stalk and you’re nearby I can program it in for you. Hopefully you could take it back and see if they will put adjustable maps on the cruise control for you
you need to start in 3rd gear vinn . your wasting time at the start spinning in second
Too much lag at 40mph to be in 3rd, needs boost by gear set up on the ecu blackmaster. He's running full boost from the get go the nutter 😂😂
@@RacinRitchieyt yeah I did actually try that but it just bogged out mate but hopefully next year will be better with it all set up properly and my drag tyres sorted out
@@Vinnievxr666 probably not the best way to do it but 3rd with a slip of the clutch to get it on boost, clutch killer though
@@Vinnievxr666 or get the organisers to raise the start speed to 50
What exhaust is that
think it would do better with a better turbo an 18inch wheels
@@chrissingleton8473 yeah I have got the Garrett G30-660 and I’m going for 15s with drag tyres in a couple of weeks
So much better when you wasn't using the anti lag, it was too much rolling at 40mph. What diff you running vinnie?
