    ok so i want to "compliment" my engine tone by adding something to my completly standard engine/exhaust,i want to put a 6 branch manifold on,basically if i do just this and still run my standard cat/middle section and back box will it do anything performance wise,and importantly will it sound better? without being to (chavy) and if so whats a good one to go for,and easy to heat wrap them or?

    was a really good fight, hay deserved the win by far,david hay is a boxer valuev is just a tall bloke with a heavy punch,slow as hell,at the end of the day its a boxing match and the real boxer won,really happy for him,he sure knows how to move although he didnt have his guard up much?

  12. dubslife
    cheers mate i need to have a look my self really to make more sense of it, reading your buyers guide section is kinda worrying me, my engine sounds slightly tappy when idling could i now need new timing chain and tensioner?

    ok so i have got hold of the vr6 and its lovely i can safely say it scares me which i like i am loosing coolent when the car is stood started i can see a pipe giving out a mist of spray, does this sound simple like its either a new pipe or just need pushing on more? due to the weather and working i havnt had time to check it out, also i really want to clean the bay up and make it as colourful as i can, as im new to this im unsure of what i can easily change, like hose pipes etc? any guidence and links to items i can get will be great cheers

    haha nice to hear it mate, just dont wanna be seen asa the crazy guy with more money than sence, as for a start i am definitly not in the money haha and its taken alot of thought in weather or not i should get the vr as i am aware its going to cost alot in general but i want it and thats that i would stick with a 1.8 gl or something like that but there just isnt a nice one out there and with this vr6 been offered from a good mate of mine atleast i know where its come from and i dont have to travel to get it or anything
  15. dubslife
    yeah im surprised only 1 person has properly mentioned the extreme price im paying i dont wanna get into detail of why im doing it because it wont change my views or my mind but im 19(20) in a few months 1 years driving experience almost 2 i would have had a years no claims by now almost 2 but my insurance company messed that up and best quote i got on the vr was 3800 with the AA paying so much on insurance is ok at the minute with no bills to worry about ect i dont see why not, may aswell do it whilst i can. i like the car in general and just fancied the vr6 as i have had a few 1.4 mk3s but
  16. dubslife
    apart from driving at 20 mph what else can be done to cut fuel costs in a vr6? ,,, i can see a load of jokes arising from what i just said but ohwell
  17. dubslife
    haha i know what your saying mate i went out in it yesterday evening and the noise, there is nothing like the sound its worth every penny, the only thing that stops me doing silly speeds is that im usualy cruising around with the missus and when she says slow down i listen call it under the thumb or what ever but i really dont fancy having my girl friend in hospitol and it really does hit home sometimes so needs must 50-70 most of the time

    see now i like what your telling me ben haha, i have a 1.4 mk4 golf at the minute and to keep up with anything and use my car everyday for any reason not just A-B i am putting in about £10 every day and a half will it be much different in the vr6? dont know if any of you saw top gear where clarkson explained a higer engined car does less work at 60 mph that a small engined car so it effectivly uses less petrol, i know its only in certain cases but im hoping as im only going to use the full potential of the vr6 every now and then that it should be ok on petrol to a certain extent?

    ok so my vr6 is still waiting for me at a friends house just got to get the last bit of money together, just a few things im concerned about, i want to use it as a daily car im a student with a part/full time job offering a small amount of £750 a month (ish) and have no bills to pay apart from a bit of rent , how ever my insurance on the thing will be costing me £400 ish a month, thats besides the point im just wondering how much petrol does the vr6 use when just being driven around town daily? im going to try and stay at around 50/70 mph as im sure ill be scared of such an engine for a whil
