    Bought the car a few weeks ago for a sweet price- and it had most of the mods already sorted so i wont have to pay out much on that front apart from styling... Does need other things sorting though which i will get sorted over time (hopefully by Summer!)

    Pretty standard looking, so far the spec is;

    K&N filter, superchip, power boost valve, eibach 60/40 lowered shocks/ spring kit, magnex full exhaust, 17" BBS wheels and drilled/ grooved discs all round with fast road pads.

    on my list is a nice spray up for the front arches (due to rubbing) and front bumper- lovely stone chips ~:( , M3 rear clusters (anyone got any they would like to sell??? :)) mk4 front headlamps and maybe if i have a lot of spare cash a shrick manifold but at the moment i can only dream of such extravagance ;) would love a charger too (wouldnt we all!) i would love to show up some STI's and japanese fodder.....

    hmmm sounds good binliner. Mines twin round tailpipes i think they a re 2 1/2" to 3 im not sure but i will check this afternoon. I know it sounds a bit chav like to want a loud exhaust but ive had a magnex before and fancy a different sound. What tailpipes are on yours?? Has something happened to your VR? i caught something on another thread- your car looks stonking!

    This is the first time ive ever bought a car that has had engine mod (if minor). Ive got a superchip, a power boost valve, K&N filter replacement and full ss magnex exhaust. Has anyone here got a similar setup, and had it rolling roaded? Its a strange feeling with this VR compared to my last one, as it doesnt seem as torquey low down, but seems to really fly above 4000 RPM. Has anyone else got a power boost valve? If so did you feel a difference? Anyone got a louder ss exhaust system they would like to swap for a Magnex system :) ? I know the only way ill tell for sure is to take it to the rolling road session thats planned (im provisionally on the list hopefully), but id like to have an idea of what to expect.....

  17. obd1 obd2 ?

    Im pretty sure that OBD1 runs with a standard distributor cap, whereas on the later models (Possibly 95 on???- OBD 2) they use an ignition pack. If you are looking at the engine on the right hand side is the pack- all the the leads run into it- its a small rectangle job (very expensive to replace too) I think there is another thread in the forum about this

  18. plug leads

    I did say that i got my leads from G&S, but in fact they were from Euro Car Parts- they are made by Hansa and are black. £52 + VAT - worked with no problems. Ive spent quite a lot recently so couldnt afford the nice red VW ones. Buying leads from Euro Car Parts is the automotive equivalent of buying from Lidls :-)

  20. who got the lowest miles on there vr

    Ive got 64k ('97 P reg) had no history when i bought it but i traced it back through Volkswagen Helpline- 3 owners Had a service every 10k with a recorded mileage of 34000 as of June 2000 with the first owner. Knew the last 2 owners the first let his wife use it as a local runaround (mad!) and his nephew bought it and couldnt afford to run it so its been left standing pretty much for 8 months.

    Ive just bought some replacement leads for my (newly acquired) VR6 - I bought them from G&S, these were made by Hansa- seem fine so far (Famous last words ;-)) I bought these as when i went to change the plugs, the shite that was on there decided to fall apart in my hands as i was taking them off- really poor quality whatever they were- all i can tell you is they were black!! To be fair if you can afford the red leads are top notch quality, just a shame i couldnt source them elsewhere cheaper...
