The Monk 50 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Imperial death march.Dun dun dun duuun dun dun duuun dun dun,Suprised that I've been thinking of this also???As for the type R.... there are a LOT of ragged and abused examples out there, so don't go mad with the idea.Honda's reliability is questionable, but so are other companies.I've been doing my research on them and they go like stick for the first 100k.... then the engine tires somewhat.However,The VR6 will and always does suffer from heatsoak, it does have less turning ability than the type R, F/I kind of sorts this out.For me, the sound of the VR and its power is more than enough for my tastes. Besides, I've made some of the best mates I could ever make on here.... I wouldn't say the same about other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was forced to sell my VR6 due to losing my job ................. You are planning to sell when you dont have to, so heres my reason for keeping it, I personally own a Bassettes Double Barrel Shotgun and will drive my voyager to your house and explain how ungrateful you are to that stunning engine with that stunning growl turbo the VR mate and spend the rest of your days cocking your leg and pissing on jap tuners.

loubyvr6 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 i can vouch for hondas reliability, the civic i have never misses a beat, its only the 1.5 vetec though, but parts are quite expensive, and has anyone else noticed the disturbing resembelence the type r sound has to the crazy frog lolim a big jap car fan, and the jap sceen is huge but its not as friendly and welcoming as the vag sceen.having said that you can get a lot more power for your money with jap.
