Just thought i'd show you a few pics of my Mark 3 golf VR6 as i know theres a fair few VDUB lovers on here

Phate · 16 Aug 2006 at 00:51

not a fan of the colour but looks nice

what sort of 0-60 times do you get with it?

The_One · 16 Aug 2006 at 00:54

Book is 6.9

0 - 60 is not where the VR6 is at to be honest.

Once in 3rd gear the mph goes up pretty quickly

Phate · 16 Aug 2006 at 00:57

bet it sounds nice. custom exhaust? or standard?

cool camera angles on those pics. People must look wierd when they are taking these

The_One · 16 Aug 2006 at 00:59

Its got the standard exhaust at the moment but i have a Jetex S/S system on order which i should have by the end of the week.

The engine note is the best bit for me, get above 3k revs and the engine just roars

Nice. I miss my black VR6 Highline that some scrote stole years back (immediately after breaking into the house and loading the tv and every other electrical into the boot of it and screaching off down the road).

Yeah when they were fairly new they was the getaway car of choice for a while

I did well out of the insurance though. Ther started off by offering me £7k for it. It was worth about £10k at the time and I manager to negotiate them up to just under £11k

pretty car, does it run well?

what suspension you running at the mo ?

Barry Smalley · 16 Aug 2006 at 08:27

Quite a rare thing that, having air-con and not being a highline. Has it got leather?

The Running Man · 16 Aug 2006 at 08:30

what are they like in terms of cost and reliability mate? could possible be looking at one!

Kroegen · 16 Aug 2006 at 08:40

Expensive to run. MPG isnt great. Very reliable though

The_One · 16 Aug 2006 at 08:47

Its lowerred on Koni Coilovers.

Really comfy ride considering they are coilovers :cool:

Cost i brought the car for £2950, its a 1996 P with 91.5k on the clock.

If serviced and looked after properly they will do 300k with not much hassle.

Its got aircon yeah but not leather.
