Well today I sent one to the scrap metal yard, so subtract one of the more mint examples of a mk3 Australia had left

Mods: (some of these are soon to come but ill forget to update this) Air bag suspension, built NA vr6 with cai, ported throttle body, ported 2.9 clone intake manifold and lower intake mani, ported head with valve job, ported exhaust manifolds and downpipe, full 2.5 exhaust with magnaflow mufflers, r32 oil pan and pump, stage one engine mounts with engine spacers, lightened and underdriven pulleys, lightened flywheel, new cluth, all vr6 running gear refreshed with poly and heavy duty bushing where appropriate, rear sway bar, custom boot install and sound system, etc etc, without giving away too many little secret plans

Photo: (dont worry, its lower now that the frame has literally self notched a good 3/4 of an inch, and the point where the rear tyres hit the wheel wells have worn down

[Mk3 AAA]

Doesn't look mint mate. :p

Was before the crash ;P Anyone who saw it will agree, I like to think that I can say stuff like that now that I dont own it without sounding too arrogant, haha. Hardest pulling stock vr6 I drove out of the 15 or so I tested, basically perfect paint and an interior which didnt look a day over 3 years old... Really, I wish it never came into my hands which slammed it, flogged it, and then crashed it, and that the first car was something ratty. Ohwell. Haha Most of the good bits will live on, most of the good panels have gone to "Dark" on here, engine is going to be built up and put in my 2 door, and most of the interior is spread across the country, with the dash and associated panels going into a mk2, seats etc into my new car and other random bits and pieces to whoever bought them.

New mk3 is very ratty

Haha was just taking the mickey mate, sounds nice...although, you never got to drive my maroon one, it must've been broken in by a serious lead-foot it was so lively, and I've driven my share of VRs (I reckon OBD2 has a tiny bit more punch)... Bora_Sport may confirm that.
That red colour concept I posted is incredibly smooth for an old engine, have seen it bury some cars that should be well out of its league. Was the car that sold me on VR6s, also doesn't have a lot of exhaust so sounds the bees knees.
