+1

Engine conversions like 16v/VR6 are pointless imo, because it's too much work and sometimes more expensive, than just buying a complete car, lol

If you are bored, do a 1.8T conversion.

My other and more sensible option was to change the camshaft, Any recomendations for which cam will be best for road use? And how hard wil it be to change? Thanks guys.

Yeah, that's about it...easier, but given the price of Mk3 VR6s...still hardly worth it.

i know yeah its true would be better to buy one selling the vr6 engine ect and selling the car would get enough money to buy a nice vr6
