My VR6...

Right well i got an opertunity to buy a vr6 so i took it! It was a mates car so i know its history and that its been looked after. Its a 97 model with leather, climate control, powersterring etc etc. It has virtually the same spec as a highline but not the higher insurance group which is a bonus. Anyway wont bore you much more here's the quick specs of it:

Ram air filter
Stainless cat back exhuast
Decat
Keskin Wheels
On eibach springs
Eibach anti-roll bars

Here's some pics:









And the interior:



and one bit that is a bonus and pretty rare on a mk3 i think:



First mod was all red rears:



Future plans are coilovers, schidmt moderlines if i can ever afford them and a few bits of the bodywork seen to.

Dan

very nice.......love the colour

i agree with nelds colours sweet, thank god you changed the rear lights coilovers needed for sure

gonna look nice when you get it lower. all red rears was a good move i think gti headlamps would be better too

Was you using now?

i smaller 1 with metal mesh rather than foam, only driven it once since changing it so cant really say about the different yet. but i think there was a hell of alot of heat soak with the big foam 1.

Yeah heat soak is a big problem on vr's, was thinking of fabricating a heat shield but there aint really alot of room lol.

You got any pics of the one you got now?

yeah same here, its on my list of things to do haha. Ive got a cold air intake for a mk4 golf vr from america which i may make fit and go down through the chassis leg but im not sure.

Na aint got any pics of the new 1, lots mroe room round it though.

Will do. One more question lol, what paint did you use to paint your inlet?

BBQ high temp paint. trouble is its abit grey, so i just dusted some satin black over the top and thats not liked the heat too well i dont think. Got sorta white spots all comign through. think im gonna get it powdercoated.

You could try exhaust paint

There's also high temp paint in halfards you could use too

Nice one, will check them out. Not sure what colours il go with yet, probably paint em black but shall wait and see lol

there is also glow in the dark hi temp paint in halfords now im doing my inlet manifold with it.
