After you guys packed up your VR shenanigans and the board went through the quiet phase, i think lots of "common knowledge" like that disappeared from day to day discsussions too Do you still own the mk2 Gary?
My vr still scares the sh*t outta me now an ive had it 12 months......that one must've been poorly.... I had a mk3 gti 8v an that was, to be fair, pokey. But this thing tore that a new arsehole.....love my vr loads......plus the sound????? Instant wet patch!!!!
I have just last night re-purchased my mk3 16v off the mate I sold it to. It has no MOT or tax and he had it parked on the drive since he decided to go down the route of buying a soulless brand new smart car - he was going to scrap it and I simply couldn't let that happen, got a very good price for re-buying too - now back on my driveway and going in for an MOT tomorrow, crossing fingers that it doesn't need too much. Damn I'm so excited, I forgot how awesomely well that engine pulled and handled - why oh why did I ever sell it!!
The mk3 passed her MOT today, woohoo! A couple of advisories for tyres and missing cambelt cover (been missing for years) but other than that, no issues! I'm well happy, can't wait to get her on the road again! Who needs a VR6!!
Its at a friends while I build a garage in the back garden, its on a few of the early photos: http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?264286-Budget-garage-build Hoping to get the roof on it this weekend
Had a good look through your garage build thread and found it surprisingly interesting to see the progress! I'm also jealous as I'd love to be able to build a garage to house my army of cars - need to stop renting and get deposit to buy first though!
You only ever realise how quick they are when u are leaving someone back at the lights I have a vr6 engine in my 1.4 shell and I shifts the vr6 has quite a heavy shell bt you can get easy power from them I have a miltek cat back and a k n N induction kit and had it chipped and I'm running 220bhp and itsonly stage one plus you cannot beat the sound of a good od VR
Eddie, can you make a VR6 rev to 13/14k please?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGE...NE-/251383441533?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160 235hp lol Revs to 13/14k lol lol lol lol Stage 4 required.
At some 'stage' it will poke a rod!!! So.....who needs a modified vtec, when you could just remove the rev limiter on an Anchor engine... I have been wasting time.
