Big thanks to all the organisers for putting together a really excellent day of vr6-RR action, as a newcomer to the VR6OC I can honestly say i haven't met a better bunch at an event such as this. I spoke to loads of different people all with great attitudes, so real credit to Pete and the guys for bringing everyone together.
 
Also cheers to Jay for filming and posting this up,

Hi guys,
I'm bluemotions other half (and mechanic!) and while I haven't been on this forum or owned a vr for a long time. I've been in the vw scene for about 16 years. Over the last few years I've seen it get over populated by dumb kids who think dangerous mods to their car is fine because it looks 'dope', or elitist cliques who won't give you the time of day if you've spent less than 15k on your motor.
I was a little apprehensive about coming along as I didn't really know anyone who was going.
I can't tell you how pleasing it was to go to a meet where you can walk up to anyone and start up a friendly conversation. It felt very much like old times again, times I thought had long gone.
So thanks to those who organised it and well done you lot on being a throughly decent bunch of people :-)

Thanks Cabbs

Thanks boss
Yep it's one of Vince's finest and one of the first they did, has been turbo'd for the last 5 years.
It's far from perfect as it gets used too much, thanks to all for the positive comments.
Really great forum you have here!

Haha the boss I only make the brews around here
Another stealth machine ? Can't go wrong with Vince creations
Looking forward to more pictures! Got any videos?

Certainly looks the part doesn't it Pete. Knew you'd like this.

Very nice mate welcome to the club. Ive got a little soft spot for rado's and would love one but I couldn't part with my golf to get one

Welcome to the club mate, get yourself signed up to the members section if your not already, well worth a tenner

Oh there'll be plenty of nuts there pal. That's without the VR's. Lol.
It's gonna be a good day pal.

thanks mate!

Hello everyone !
My name is Simon. I'm from Poland 
This is my Cabby VR6 and my funpage on facebook 
https://www.facebook.com/rotcabbyvr6

So today I picked up my first VR6.
And that's it, just the engine
Got a 12v VR6 that came from a 98 Passat with only 113k miles. Car was hit and the owner didn't feel like repairing it so they decided to part it out.
I walked away with a complete VR6 engine, harness and ECU. 
 

 
I decided to join so I can learn as much about this engine as possible. And I thought you VR6 guys might be interested to see my plans for this engine.
I'm going to swap it into a Maxda RX8, I'll make a plate to bolt it to a decent RWD trans and I'm likely going to turbo the engine. I was looking at dropping compression to 9.0:1 and running about 10-15 psi, closer to 10 for the track.
This is going to be my drift car. Picked up the car with a blown motor (As expected) for a steal and now that I have the engine it's time to get to work.

 
 
I'm going to start by tearing down the engine, putting in new bearings, rings, head gaskets, arp studs and see where my time and money gets me.
I was wondering what the VR6 enthusiasts recommend as far as rod and main bearings and head gasket spacers. Are there decently priced lower CR Pistons I could get? 
Anything else I should double check or look into?
I was thinking of getting new timing chains and guides as well and probably an oil pump and water pump for piece of mind.

Thanks for the info, shall do and yes its a vr 

Thanks Cabbs
