Vr6 is in!

They sound better with boost
My mates had a few, I've driven some of them and been passenger in others, they sound addictive but in a mk2 they're no faster than a 172/182
But soooooo much cooler

That looks nice Jim, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.
I think it's quick - certainly cliosport quick if not a little quicker.
170bhp from memory
I didn't want to go wide track on mine as wanted to retain four stud wheels so have not gone for the vr6 discs at the front but am running g60 disks instead. They're definately not in the same league as a modern
hatch when it comes down to handling but it's not a car that I've bought for that, more of a cruiser but now I have got the power when I need it.
I'll level with you, I just threw my wallet it at it and hoped for the best.
But I don't think it's that difficult if you know what you are doing. I used a mk3 golf vr6 as my donor but if I was to do it again I'd probably spend a little more and get a corrado vr6 as a donor instead.
The lad who did mine had a mare with the wiring
so this slowed the process a little.

Learn something knew every day. Always thought they were 190bhp
Turns out the Mk3 Golf engine and Vento (ergh) were 170bhp, Corrado Vr6 is 190 (although they have their own problems)

Yep the Golf is a 2.8 - 170bhp. Corrado is a 2.9 with 190bhp.
We did a 2.9 conversion into a Mk2 within a day. The only delay was wiring to get it to start which swict did on his in 30mins for £40.00. Even still retains the vagcom port thingy.
The cars on the road now but no updated pics. Much prefer your blue over the white.

^ liking that a lot A+ for effort
Personally I'd still have a mint VR6 Corrado

Corrado vrs are a bit of an electrical nightmare I think.

You're not wrong. I had a 16v KR earlier model which is the same engine as the Golf GTI I think.
Absolute piece of s**t. Loved it.
I looked at one before I got the golf but would have only been happy with the vr.
That looks awesome (and sounds it!)
I trust passenger rides will be available at the next meet
Looks can be decieving mate! The cars crying out for a dent man and respray.
Passenger rides definately on the cards mate. You can just take it out if you want, just don't bend it!

Tidy. Still yet to see this about!

Not when you get close up it ain't! Still love it though. Work in progress and that...
Yeah, will look better when Gaz has done his bit

Definitely mate. I wish his boss would f**k off on holiday again already!
Each to their own but I personally think it makes the front end look 10x better!

I guess so. I cant see how it looks better than this though -
Maybe just get slightly smooked headlights.
Next you'll have clear indicators..

Aww man! I agree with tom on the headlights.... either way it does look amazing! Good work
