VRery nice.... I'm after the digi climate for mine, makes it feel a bit more modern
-
VRery nice....
Thanks mate :smiley:
Lovely car to drive with heap loads of low down torque. MPG is a bit painful but hey I can live with that!
-
Very nice, could do with a tweak of coilovers on the back however.
-
Very nice, looks in good condition.
Could do with a wind down of those coilovers though!
-
Looks good, wish I could afford to run a VR :sad:
Is it just me or has the heated screen button and rear leccy windows button swapped sides?

looks like a very clean VR
-
Very nice :cool:
-

My sentiments exactly.
The coilies could be wound down some more too. :wink:
-
Really nice car mate but would look better with standard headlights/no mudflaps/standard steering wheel and black calipers otherwise a lovely car and like others here, i wish i could afford to run a VR.
-
Thanks everyone :smiley:
How do I make sure the height is correct all round when adjusting the coilovers as she does look a bit high, especially at the back?
Due to costs I am finding she is not as bad as I thought. Around town about 23-24. I had a Volvo T5 for a few months.....Very fast but the best MPG I got was 18 around town! Insurance for me on the VR is £387 fully comp so not that bad.
-
I measure from bottom of the coilover to the spring.
Spray plenty of wd40 first :wink:

Just wind them down to the bottom, that way you know they're both at the same height :wink: :grin:

Good looking motor mate. Nice work :smiley:

The strangest thing is, My vr6 gives me an honest 30/31 mpg. Don't get me wrong, i use it as a toy and tend to drive it when roads are quiet but on a sunday run I can get the trip up to 36mpg. I'm well aware that these units can overread, however, if i actually calculate the amount of fuel i've put in against the miles i've covered if anything you'd swear the computer does the opposite.
Seriously, i wouldn't dream of putting a ten spot into even my 2.0tdi caddy but with the vr6 it seems to last for ages. certainly lasts longer than even my interestingly economical 350z. she does around 27/28.
-
mine is 18 over thousands of miles :grin:
-
looks very clean that :smiley:

Measure from the bottom spring plate to a fixed point on the car and use a steel rule if you can.

Seems cheap :undecided:

Just wait for the fuel bills... :grin: :grin:
I've already smashed out about £70 on fuel this month...and that's at £1.08 a litre....
Oh the joys!
The sound is worth it, just ask some of the guys that were at the JKM Rolling road day! :cool:

Come tonight I'll have spent £210 of fuel this month.
In a TDi...
Although because I'm a public service arsę I get it all back in expenses. :lipsrsealed:

Very Tidy. Not keen on mk3's usually but that is rather stunning.

Gotta love that VR sound! :wink:
-
Looks really nice! I'd lose those mudflaps and steering wheel though :sick:

I've done £70 a couple of weeks ago in a week.
I get a lift to work.
Although I think my 1.6 uses far more fuel then a VR ATM.
-
If i could get my fuel bill down too £60 a week then id be happy... i mean i am solely responsible for ruining the planet :cool:
-
I like it. :afro: Be sure to enter it into the MK3 forum calendar. :cool: Oh, and where did you get your BBS Centre caps from, I'm after some red ones.
-
Thanks for the replies guys :smiley:
The fuel bills are a bit......Well lets just say I am on first name terms with the staff at the local BP garage!!
The VR noise is just lovely.....I keep wondering if I should put an induction kit on her?
Shady Pioneer.....The BBS centre caps came with the car, I will keep a look out for some for you :smiley: Also chap, how do I enter her into the MK3 forum calendar?
Paul.
