I really like that colour and even more since it has a leather interior. You might find the mods youre consideringl will take you a lot longer than you think because VR's can have costly maintenance. I'm interested in the exhaust system youve got on there, if you could get some pics or even better - some video, that would be nice.
Na not leather interior, when I said fixing the leather I was referring to steering wheel and shifter.Quote:

Yea I'll get pics/vids when I get the car, which now looks like it'll be next week, not this sat, as the owner was unable to get the rwc done and it's so hard finding a time that suits everyone unfortunately :(Quote:

I bought my setup second hand off of a member here mate..He paid 1100+ for it all up back when the dollar was good. You'd be hard pressed to find something worth buying in the spring/shock combo for less than at least 800 i reckon, but that's just my opinion. I'd say you should have a look and get coilovers, because they're just an easier option for our cars for some reason..Quote:

The ride is only harsh if you wind them to the bottom, and then start cutting the strut tops :biggrin:
This is why we buy coils isnt it?! :biggrin:Quote:

The only bit of advice i have with modifying is dont skimp on parts, the most expensive way is the cheapest way ;) Go coilovers because if you go a cup kit/sping shock combo, i guarantee you wont be 100% happy with its stance and then your stuck with it :frown:
Where should I be looking for $500 hottuning coilovers? $850 posted isn't too bad from evorobin, new. I'm easy with the ride quality, I don't care if it's not going to be the softest ride, I'd prefer the better handling.Quote:

I hope the vr works out well for u, it looked like a nice specimen and well maintained. Darn good price too!

Got my vwwatercooled.org.au sticker today, and if all goes well, should be driving the VR6 home tomorrow night :party:
I've got a little bit of cash left over, so was thinking Sharan antenna ($30pp), and I'll probably look for the ipod cable that goes with the hu. Any other little things I should buy that are a vr6 must buy?
Power window motors and regulators :rolllaugh::rolllaugh:Quote:
