I miss my vr6

...

How long since you've driven one Matt? It could be that too

I know I'm gonna think my car will be nuts because I haven't driven anything with anywhere near the power.. (lawnmower 1.5l mirage...siiiickkk)

I always remember driving my vr6 after hopping out of my brothers Seat cordoba. Was always a satisfying experience

I probably drive 3 different ones every week mate. I know how they drive and this one is just freaky fast

I have lent it to a few people who have also driven lots of Vr6s, Oli, Beau and yesterday Dom and they all agree.

Have you still not got your car back Mickey??

its prob a combination of it being that bit lighter and the engine being that little bit tighter/fresher....

but can you imagine if it was the 2.9l!!! thats 190bhp out of the box right there.....

I'm pretty sure I know the donor car, where did you find it?? One of my mates from Kensington owns (or owned I guess) a grey late model VR6 with the beige leather, but I haven't spoken to him for a few months. What happened to it?

It's an amazing conversion nevertheless, the colour looks awesome and I bet a 2-door VR6 would get those in the know looking more than once! Thinking about selling it once it's done?

It was 980ish as a CL. Anyone know what a 5 door VR6 weighs?

That's with the colour concept leather interior. A standard vr6 is probably a smidge lighter. I dont remember how much fuel was in at the time, maybe half a tank or so.

In other news it appears this uber vr6 has made the bay, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....B:FSEL:AU:1123

that seems about right.. there was about a 50kg difference from a some vw brochure between the 5dr cl and the 2 dr cl ( in australia ).

I bought the grey donor car at the auction, it was hit on the pasenger side door and quarter panel. It started straight up and looked in great cond pre-accident.

One of my customers told me to buy the car so that he could buy the leather off me.

I used everything else to make the CL great. I love the colour and it has no badges so is an awesome sleeper.

Yup its for sale, I should sell it before I loose my licence.

Currently on ebay. Looking for $9k with a years rego.
