The one i see 3-4 times a week must be a personal import then. first time i saw it i had to do a double take. Doesnt look to be in the best condition thou :(

**Edit** 300th Post!

Would be nice to have a car like transplant a vr6 into it with a bad boy bonnet and some phat schmits. My pants are soaked lol;)

Very! love the bad boy bonnets

Im guessing the ventos are heavier then golfs though. Would need to trick out a VR6 motor to keep that same fun feeling?

im sure with a nice exhaust and intake you probably wouldnt notice the weight difference.

There was a Vento VR6 for sale down the Gold Coast a year or so ago. It was a private import from South Africa. I was pretty interested to buy it for a family car but it didn't have air bags.
