Loverly ride mate I got the same headlights as you just wandering what you make of them? I love the look of mine but visability is terrible! Whats yours like? -

New VR purchased back in Sept 2010 been itching to get on RR to see where it stands, heres the results from a Dynapack Chassis Dyno test on 4th Jan 2010 at Torquetronix, Kells N. Ireland Max Power - 165.3 HP @ 5924rpm Max Torque - 163.6 lb-ft @ 4657rpm VR6 2.8 OBD1 Mk3 Golf 1994 Circa 130k Fullsize - K&N 57i + cold air feed to lower bumper Unknown De-cat & 2.5" Straight Through Exhaust System Does anyone know what transmission losses are trypically for a VR? Have seen ~20% values used for RR or +20-40HP to get Flywheel BHP but that would be a unfair assumption as I had no tyre
