Tims Purple VR6

[VR6child]

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.

It's a 3 year list, so hopefully will get it all done eventually, in no hurry though.

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

A setup such as yours, how much would that cost me? Ideally the less I spend the better, as I'm not after a track spec car, if that combo gets me similar results as say the hottuning coilovers, and for half the price or something, then that'd be cool.

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..

Also consider some of the non-dampening adjustable coils available, such as hottunings or JOM, you can get a set for under 500 au landed if you look hard enough

The ride is only harsh if you wind them to the bottom, and then start cutting the strut tops

This is why we buy coils isnt it?!

. . . . Coilovers - do you like Kidney's shaken or stirred? . . . . My experience with coilovers has all been on subies - maybe VW's are better ones.
Al..

All Jap coilovers are damb stiff! even when they're set to soft :/ Maybe their roads are nicer over there?!

Hey Tim, congrats on the purchase! it must be killing you to have to wait another week Hopefully you can make it out Sunday

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

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.

I dunno alex, i prefer comfort over looks. Its all down to personal preference really. I reckon a cup kit 60/40 is low enough, its just the tards who wanna go lower they should get coils

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

Tards huh! LEMME AT'IM :ballandchain: haha, fair enough though i did say "stance" with rake and what not . . . Low is always good

Got my vwwatercooled.org.au sticker today, and if all goes well, should be driving the VR6 home tomorrow night

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?
