Is ther a big forum like this for vw vr6? My buddy is wondering....

 

I'm pretty sure Ruslow sells them. Check out his forum here....

I think I heard somebody say that his slotted rotors are the same price as OEM, but don't take my word for it.

 

I would recomend Brembo kit, the brakes on these trucks will not take a lot of abuse.

 

he might want to try http://www.vwforum.com

I only know this because I have a buddy that is into VW's

 

I looked for my wifes car and found http://www.vwvortex.com I didn't do much searching but a little that I found was that the vr6 already has 'high' flowing intake. A chip will get about 220HP and they(tuners) do make a supercharger for it. Looks very OEM, built with intake manifold. Forgot the numbers with it. Made by somebody like ARP tunerz; ~$3k. But start there.

 

Crack 'em every 12,000 miles and they get you new ones free

 

Cracked like this?


or like this?


It's obvious that the top rotor would need replacing. The 2nd photo doesn't need replacing. After about a week of normal street driving, the surface checking will disappear.

 

wow not like that . 1/8 of inch long and like a thick hair
but they are all over the place.

Will try to get a picture.

 

how long did that take you to do that??

cause that looks like when somebody get shot with a shotgun (really bad)

 

Two consecutive track days. I ran my cool down lap faster than normal on my last session of the second day, pulled of the track and checked tire pressures. Shortly after that, it cracked. It was a cool Monterey afternoon and my guess is that the sudden change in temp caused it.

 

Yea how long ? I still have stock rotors with over 19,000 miles on them and they dont look anything like that . Those look like the Ruslow Rotors are they? If so those crack to ?
Any info would be great.
Thanks

 

Those are mine.The BIG thing to remember when you are driving aggressively in open tracks or hard,is you have to do a cool down where you are using the brakes a min. so they have time to gradually cool down.Aslo need to make sure your wheel studs are torqued down correctly.Stan
PS I have cracked them too.
