Alright chaps. I've had a BMC induction kit fitted by stealth recently. I'm driving back and its making way too much noise. I get home, look under the bonnet and there's no cold air flow pipe (not sure what its called). As it happens Stealth didnt fit it %-6 They've posted it to me. I've tried fitting the bloody thing and now realise why they couldnt be bothered.... theres no way to get the pipe on and through the gap (the pipe seems too big). I know my descriptive writing is a bit poor... but anyone have any clues?!!

ICY make me an offer on the seats?!!

I work in a place called High Wycombe, a shit hole in bucks (apologies to all peep living in wycombe - but lets face it, its still a shit hole). I've noticed there seems to be more and more VR's around the place. Firstly theres mine, then theres a Grey R reg 3dr driven by a lady that always passes me coming out of wycombe in the morning. Then there's a mystic blue 3dr on the same business park as i work in. Then most lunch times i see a bloke in p plate black 3dr driving about near the train station. Yesterday around 5:30pmish i saw RALA's(?) VR. I'm sure he's a member on here. This morning i

thanks for the advice chaps. Was Close to giving the man the money and picking it up but then also found a red colour concept - lady owner fsh, £... bargain price. Should be going to pick it up on Thursday - if that falls thru then will re direct to the 16v. [ Edited Tue Mar 22 2005, 05:13PM ]

erm... at the moment definately an addition. I'm looking at an 8v (previously owned) or 16v MK3 as a everyday motor. Also I'm on the lookout for another VR. Nothing wrong with mine except its a 5 door and in the wrong colour... oh and its not a highline! Performance wise i dont think the 16v is much different to the VR6. Although it will obviously lack the grunt of the sixpot. I'm just wondering about drivability of them, whether you have to race the knackers of the thing to get it moving or not. The 8V is a nice tool round town but too slow for the open road.

I know this is a vr site, but has anyone had any experience of these cars? I've come across a 5dr(!) 1998, 1 Owner vehicle at a very reasonable price. The car is mint. I've not driven it yet, never been in one either. Anyone know anything about them? I know they are 150bhp, 0-60 7.9secs etc. But engine reliability etc etc? Cheers

Mark, I owned a T5, and to be perfectly honest i reckon sometimes you'll have more fun driving that around than a VR! It will whoop a VR (standard) on a straight easily. They are very refined and really comfortable. I actually still miss the tank. Mine was a lovely met burgandy with full black leather. The 2.3 sounded so creamy and velvety. Bullet proof engines as well. They can be easily chipped up to about 270bhp. Then Porsches will have trouble keeping UP WITH YOU!!! Do the right thing mate.... go swedish

These are big things in the USA. Been around for about 20 years or more. My mate used to have one on his E30 3 series motorsport... if you want to keep off the stone chips then they are excellent. To be honest it didnt look at the gay on his...

Well to cheer my self up this evening i'm going to switch off my phone, have a few beers and relax... best not to have any Stella's though... cuz we all know they're known as wife beaters! Have a good evening Fella's/girls. Hopefully not too many of you will be posting up on this thread come monday morning!!!

None of my cars have ever given me as trouble as my girlfriend has :@ Why do we put ourselves thru' a load of ball ache? ?! If i got rid of missus i reckon i'd have enough money to buy Simons (six appeals) lovely VR !heart , Add a supercharger, gold plate the engine bay, have diamonds inserted into the front headlamps and still have change for a pint of kroenenburg! I think we should make this thread a sticky and everytime one of us fella's has a problem with our woman (or man.. if your that way inclined) we can dispose of a little stress and headache here... ?! P.S... Andy (acf

Woohoo, my exhaust is here at last!!

and the moral of the story is.... KEEP IT STANDARD!! lol. Sorry Clive, hopefully you'll get the twin pipe you wanted..... -
You can buy my VR6 mate... £3600 and its yours! Have you ever driven a VR? Definately recommend you do before you start searching. Strange cars.... Real heavy and lack lustre at lower revs but then pulls like a train and wont stop once you get to 4000revs. If fuel economy is important... dont buy a VR. Everyday use? i doubt you'll better 23mpg. Dont want to say this but you might wanna look at a Pegeout (typo?!) 306GTI-6. light weight, 168bhp (I think) handles much better than a vr and will cost less to run.... mind you... it is fackin french... which shouldnt bother you too much cuz you alrea

84k on a 1997 P. Due for a service any second now...

Opinions Please.........

i've seen those on a black highline... jaw dropping effects on the right car/colour and ride height. I dont think there are better looking wheels for the VR than those RS6 wheels.... however i dont think the colour of your motor suits the wheels Minty.. if u know what i mean.... which u prolly wont cuz even i'm confused by my own posts sometimes... -
that looks like a seriously clean motor. I'm off to have a look on Autotrader for a black highline!

oh and that was with Admiral. Really helpful over the phone. My last insurer privilege wanted about £1k for renewale.... so i told them to fox trot oscar. ADMIRAL have offered me an excess of £150 which i dont think is bad plus anyone else can drive my car (as long as they are over 25) and i get to drive ANY car 3rd party. I shopped around and the average was about £800. Adrian Flux were slightly below that. However i've never been a great fan of Adrian Flux. I was with them with my GTI and they always seemed and came across as a bit of a chav outfit. Always on put u hold for 10 mins and took

shut up Andy! You've got a good quote, however yours is an earlier model. Mines a late one.... probably worth a few quid more.. I'll look at it like that to justify the heavier insurance!! Anyway its better than the £1100 i was paying for my GTI. Mind you that was a nicer car.

just got my insurance for the year. 25yr , 3 years NCB, £670 fully comp with £150 excess. Not bad i think. Was going to post this in the Insurance section.... but no one seems to go there..

Chaps, i awoke this morning like usual, drove 30 seconds from my house and saw like i do every morning a Black MK2 16 valver. This particular valver is owned by a RAF General, ex fighter pilot who's about 50 years old. Needless to say his MK2 WAS in excellent order thru' out. I so badly wanted to buy his car and often thought about leaving a message on his windscreen to find out if he wanted to sell it. This morning i noticed his motor was in the middle of the road.. as i got closer i realised his car was missing the set of MIM alloys that he'd had on the car since god knows how long and that

If you want to become a petro-chemicals sales rep for the North you can have my job, I've had an official warning today about my internet usuage, apparantly its in our workplace manual that i'm not allowed to use the net for non work purposes during office hours.... like that was going to stop me... Anyway... one more strike left then i'm out! Fackers.

Well said Pete. VR'S are great cars, but to say they will start hitting 160mph and keep up with M3's is a bit mythical. If i see a Ferrari on the way home i'll flash my lights at him and see if he can keep up as i pass him by..
-
Dont see how u can compare the scooby with an S4 Andy, S4's a refined gents car, scoob's bit Fast & furious. Also Sarah isnt my ex... unless she hasnt told me yet!

this man knows his shit. cant really ask for any more explanations than that. I wasnt at the RR day but most if not all of you have decent figures (i'm referring to your cars read outs of course!). When we have a man like in the know like Vince amongst us.... who needs VW dealers?! Interesting read Vince, nice one. I can go to sleep now.

maybe its getting late... but rado and golf VR6's hitting over 160mph..... Jackanory time me thinks. My mate bought a brand new 330CI. I'm too scared to race him. He's got a customer made induction kit and exhaust system on the car. Apart from that its standard (except the 19" AC Schnitzer wheels and kits and lowering kit). 231BHP has never felt so good. I've sat in porsches that dont feel as powerful or as quick as that 3.0 lump. I'll give £50 to the 1st person with a standard VR with just an exhaust and induction kit to a) keep up with the beemer out pace it. Not going to accuse anyone of

Seems to me like someone has too much time on their hands.... lol
