Paul1982 0 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi all,Right I've had loads of VR's in my time and really missing my Old one. So after spending a fortune getting a RX7 and tuning it up no matter how much power i've got it doesnt compair to the love I have for my VR's.My Old VR was only around 200bhp but the sound was second to none - how i missed Chilling in Fifth as listening to my baby purrI now have an mint Black RX7 Type R1, Been rebuild and then tunned by Hayward Rotary to produce 360+bhp - thats 300-310 to the wheels. These cars are light and the power delivery is instant.Its got RX8 rims, red leather seats, all electrics, tinted windows, big IC, Apexi ECU and Commander, De-Cat, downpipe, full 4" system, blitz induction, all samco, converted to non-sequential, New MOT, 6 months TAX (1300cc so cheap tax) and more.I've spent around £8-9k in total and if i was to sell i'd be looking for £7500 min I guess.Just wondering if anyone was bored with there supercharged VR's and fancy something quicker.I've seen some VR's on here which look nice without chargers, if your interested then add the price of a charger on with your car and we might have a deal.Ideally looking for a 3 door golf - but might go Rado if it has leather.If anyone can point me in the right direction i'd be greatfulHope to hear from you soon guys!!

Paul1982 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Nope I hate the MK4 and MK5 sadly - think they are a big disapointment in the VW world :-(I drove a R32 and it didnt have the feel of my VR and its twice the price!! lol hate the body roll, hate the heldex 4wd system - wish it was a proper quattro.

mike 6 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Looks a tidy motor, so you would prefer a fwd vr6 on koni coilovers compared to a 4wd r32 golf? that suprises me cus a few people on here has praised the r32 for grip ect...and its more than twice the price! not sure your going to have much luck wioth a part ex on here, nice idea tho.

vdubgirl 3 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Glad you coming back. I missed my VR6 after I sold it last year. So this year I decieded I wanted that VR6 Roar back in my life but did not want another mk3 so I've converted my mk2 :-p Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I do like the MK2 but the build quality of the mk3 is just brilliant and for every day use I'll take that over anything.I'll wait for after christmas and sell my RX7 as the mazda boys have already taken big interest in her.Then i'll be looking for a Charged VR 3dr on coilovers with some mint deep alloys (well ideally anyway) hehe Link to post Share on other sites
