Hello RaddoRene,
I urge you to peruse the Engine Tuning forum - there are plenty of 'stickied' threads for you to feast your eyes on.
Don't underestimate the size of the job - or the cost!
For some inspiration/motivation, BradVR6 turbocharged his C' a few years back:

VR6CABBS got a reaction from storms in POST A SINGLE PIC OF YOUR CAR
Luke I had mine powder coated in a bright shine aluminium and you could hardly tell the difference. A place by me in Manchester did them for £200 and did a right good job. They were in a state before with deep scores and little chunks out of the lips. The stripped them back and Ali fill them first. Not like most that will push your tyres back, these guys take them off and do the full wheel. Them refit the tyre and balance them with new valves.
There's a place in London that mirror polish and lacquer them after repair but they wanted £120 a wheel. -

VR6CABBS reacted to ASHP89 in Golf mk3 vr6 highline
Hi. Welcome to the sale of my golf vr6 highline in black (black magic) the reason for sale is that we are in the middle of moving house and it came far quicker than we thought so i need to free up some cash and it was either the vr6 or the scooby that had to give way, and with me being a jap kind of guy the scooby had to stay
Saying that the golf is a lovely car and i enjoy driving both for their own reasons. Anyway here is a list of what the golf has had done while ive had it.
Last week it had 2 brand new wishbones/balljoints and track rod ends with uprated bushes.
I had a full service about 6 weeks ago and had a brand new sump pan fitted at the same time
New coilpack, again about 6 weeks ago
Gearbox oil change around 3 weeks ago
New coolant sensor and crank sensor recently
Coilovers have done less than 200miles
Its also has 10mm thicker ht leads and an air filter but im not sure on the name.
Just before christmas it had a full blowover/respray and had 2 new sills professionally fitted so they are soild again, and also had the wheels refurbished and brand new quad headlights fitted at the same time.
The seats in there i got them from a member of the forum and they came out of a car that had done less than 50k so they are in very good condition!.
Everything works as it should, electrics, mirrors, windows etc and the abs light comes on and goes off straight away like it should! The car drives faultless with no noises, chain rattle or any leaks as it should!
The guy i bought the car off didnt have any service history with it but as he was a well known member on the corrado vr6 forums and he had his fair share of vr6s i had no issue with it as he was also an enthusiast, but i have all the reciepts for the work above that i have had done!
When i bought the car he said it had a 6 branch manifold on there and a serbring exhaust, it is pretty quiet but gives that lovely vr6 tune when its higher in the revs!
The car has done 118k and was previously an auto but has been professionally converted to a manual
The car will also come with a short shifter with new bushes so the gear changes will be short and precise.
Overall the car is in excellent condition unlike alot for sale that claim to be! It does have a couple of things that could do with sorting
Its only got 1 key and the alarm doesnt work! Never bothered me as i use a disklock
There is a rip in the steering wheel
1 crack in one of the lower indicators
No CD player.
So really they are nothing at all and if they were fixed you wouldnt notice anyway hemce why i havent bothered, the car gets looks everywhere it goes and the amount of times ive been asked to sell it to them while filling up at the petrol station is crazy lol.
Im asking for £2500 OVNO as there are a few out there that are no were near this and are more...it is priced to sell but im not desperate at all. Thanks for looking! My number is 07758243030 if you want to get in contact with me. Thanks for looking ashley,
Car located in the bolton/wigan area

VR6CABBS reacted to ASHP89 in Whats it worth?
Hi. Im just wanting a rough guideling as to what my golf vr6 is worth? Putting it up for sale in the next couple of days when its had a detail.
Its a golf mk3 vr6 higline in black (black magic)
Its done 118k miles
Its just undergone alot of work consisting of a full blow over/respray and new sills being professionally fitted in at no expense spared.
New quad headlights
Wheel just been refurbished (porsche D90s)
New coilovers that have done less than 200miles.
Its got a 6 branch manifold
Serbring catback exhaust
Unknown air filter
10mm thicker HT leads
Yesterday it had new wishbones, ball joints and track rod ends fitted with uprated febi bushes
It also as had in the past 2-3 weeks
New coolant sensor
New crank sensor
And a fresh gearbox oil change
All this is what i have had done and have receipts for the work!
The car also has a set of seats in (highline) from another highline that had only done 40k so the front seats are in very good condition.
Its got a few niggles (not many) which are.
The steering wheel has a tear on it
There is only 1 key
The alarm doesnt work
And the headlining has been done in suede (not the best of jobs) but looks alright.
And the service history is vague like alot of the vr6s but i have all the receipts carried out for all the work i have had done.
I bought this car off a previous enthusiast who has had many corrados and golfs so i wasnt too concerned about history as i know it was looked after.
The car was previously an auto but has been professionally converted to a manual.
The car runs great! No noises, no leaks from anywhere and no chain rattle.
Reason for sale is it was either sell the golf or sell the scooby! The scooby won as im mkre of a jap kind of guy, but the vr6 is a very lovely capeable car and im sad to be selling it!
