    I use mine as a daily driver and put up bout 300miles a week driving to work mostly..When it runs right it is a dream to drive..It puts a subtle smile on my face every day...But when it gives trouble..I feel like throwing myself off the roof ...Its always expensive to fix and always takes weeks to get done....My girlfriend has told me to sell it 3 times and my parents constantly wreck my head bout the cost of runnin it....I always tell them "its mine...its never for sale...my kids will drive it someday"..drives them nuts.....So far ive had to replace the clutch and gear box..Rebuilt the engi

    I know the tow bar dont look great buddy but think about leavin it in..everybody i know told me to leave mine in even though it hasnt been used in 3 years...a few days ago a girl behind me started her car in gear and gave me a nice thump ..thankfully she hit my towbar and not my bumper or exhaust...saved me a headache i think....

    Check the brown wire running through the door to body at the rubber housing...Mine broke due to the opening and closing of the drivers door I think..

    ...could be worse..U could have to drive a 99 Daewo Lanos 1.4 (thats absolutely f%*k'd) every day....and it belongs to your girlfriends father who already hates you and is waitin for the car to die so he can blame your driving...Like Jonny-boy says ...Think of the smiles it gives you when you have it......

    Hey Ed..sorry to hear bout your VR6 problems.. I know how Heart breaking it can be first hand..Recently i had the exact same problem with mine..kept losing water and i couldn't figure it out..then the slight miss fire started....I got a newer expansion tank with a blue cap on it but before i got to fit it the head gasket went and engine over heated and seized up..(luckily not while driving)...Really considered a matchbox insurance job...But I just found out today that the engine is not completely fucked and my magic mechanic has it stripped it down an is a good way towards fixing every thing.

    Unbelievably i have just got the same problem..(dont have keyless entry though).Im gona bring it to my mechanic in the morning and see what he says...mine sounds like the window motor could be gone..lots of clicking but no movement..Ill let you know how i get on...

    Mine started to rattle a little in first an when slowing down.....then the whine started...about a week later it went bang and the gears and part of the bell housing bust out on da road..NIGHTMARE ..took me 6 weeks to get a decent gearbox from England (to Ireland )an fitted..Get it looked at before its too late.

    Hard to say buddy..what to do?....IMHO..the VR6 is worth stickin with..U dont pass many on the roads every day so that makes them unique enough..as for Evos..unless its a MR FQ300/340/400 with all the carbon goodies (big money) its pointless,..Evos are every where...more girls driving around in Evos and Skylines in my county than lads...R32 transplant sounds sweet though..that might surprise a few rice burning faces ...hahah

    snap buddy..Ive been lookin for a twin exit back box for ages and also rang around a few miltek stockists and they wont sell the box separate..still stuck with my single oval which performs well but isnt as cosmetically pleasing as i want...what to do???
  12. MAHOSTRIDERDG
    dont watch da revs..listen to da engine..it will tell u when to change..ull know when..my rev counter has a fault or a loose connection...reads when it wants to..and never when da air conditioning is on....the sound and power will guide you my friend..hahah
  13. MAHOSTRIDERDG
    Thanks..ill be up for one soon...gota pay the 285yoyo quarterly tax first though.hahah

    I know this sounds stupid but have a real good look at your rad..my VR6 was losing water and i couldnt find a leak anywhere....After days of looking I found a small stone dent in the rad up behind a bumper plastic..(how a stone buried itself in there i dont know)....I only found it by spotting a drop or 2 of coolant in a dry under ground car park after da cinema one nite recently...

    They look good..is there a slot to slip the tax disc in..or are they a 1 time application?... is it black background only..or can they be got with colored background..IE charcoal gray with same logo?
  16. MAHOSTRIDERDG
    Wash it once a week r maybe every two weeks..in this shite weather its pointless..10mins on the road an its covered in muck again..if its not the fucker in front with miss aligned window squirters or the after wash of a transport truck when it passes you..its dirty rain that every thing sticks to..a good polish and sealant in early September and a wash down every week till april..then the real work can start... my two cents..hahah

    Very nice pics there buddy..you know your way round a camera i take it..what do you use and what kinda lenses do you use?..I just got a new Canon 1000D with 18-55 and a 75-300 telephoto but am still learnin to use it
  18. MAHOSTRIDERDG

  19. MAHOSTRIDERDG
    Good for you buddy..nice lookin motor...mite have to disagree with you on the best color though..I still think charcoal grey is da best..LOL..each to their own i guess..Happy motoring with it though..

    I'm sure I,ve ranted bout this somewhere else on site....(Irish driver so prices will differ) .Petrol wont be a problem for you buddy..It costs me bout 50/60 yoyos a week to drive my VR6..(60 mile ish a day ..x5 days )...Ive seen 15-17mpg when my right foot is longer then my left...but ive also seen 37mpg on decent journeys..(2-3 hours at bout 60mph)..my VR6 usually sits bout 26-28.5mpg daily...the expense ive found is with replacing parts and general up keep..ie tyres..(especially fronts)..brakes..services etc...then gearbox..clutch..and others.......I drove a 1.4 daewo for 6 weeks while my

    I have a set of Verdistiens on 16" old style Momos at the moment but they really need changing (worn threads)..They were crap for the first 2 weeks (considered bringin them back)..after that they were great..really held fast on all but verry wet roads...barely spin in 2nd...At 130yoyos a piece they were quite expensive..Ive got 8k miles (9 months outa them).. but now they are wearing thin and got a little sideways scare 2nite.....I had a set of 15" rota light weight rims wit Toyo T1Rs on my mk2 GTI about a year ago and it handled like it was on rails..(wheels n same tyres now on girlfriends ro
