craggsy 91 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 150bhp turbo in a lighter body will always best a lardy VR6, sorry Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeh your right craggsy, an the gearing sure as hell don't help the situation. Tbh I'm under no illusions. My Audi had a 1.8t in an that shifted an was bigger than a polo.Ill be satisfied.with the fact that the only thing both of us could hear was the vr6 goin full chat ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Oh indeed, but I hassle M3 drivers for fun lol Link to post Share on other sites
SkippyVR6 1 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 needs many monies to be spent on her lol Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Must be fun upsetting m3 drivers lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've upset a few in my old VR's, I know I keep banging on but the 3.68 makes so much difference, and having a lump pushing 220bhp in a mk2 she'll helped too Link to post Share on other sites
Cosie 6 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Strip it out!! ....everything apart from the front seats and steering wheel then kick the Polo's a***'s !Been to Brands Hatch today in mine and the old girl more than held her own against some very serious and expensive modern cars!Had the video camera on for the last outing of the day so will get the video on here soon ! 8o| Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Look forward to seeing that Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I had a 1.8T MK4 225 BHP nowhere near as fun as the VR! At the end of the day get the same Polo on the autobahn! When your rolling past at 140mph cos hes maxed at 130! Clio sports have pissed me off in the past too but they max out at 120 too. Forced induction is the way forward then you can piss everyone off lol Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 On flip side I kept with a bmw 328 all the way this morning. He didn't look best pleased. So it seems there ain't that much wrong with the car.I think I need to run a proper cold air feed because in hot weather it seems to be a complete slug bucket Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I was bested by a 182 back when I had my 3door. Then I had Dlea's 5 door shell with Ben Seabrooks pretty tight engine. That one shifted a lot better. Then, one day after a good drive, I rolled through some lights in 2nd gear, past a stationary mondeo TDI and he killed me.If I'd ever had the money to do so, I would have stuck a turbo on her and an LSD.Again though, the noise makes up for those losses.
