>>> vr6 <<< golf mk3 220bhp 0 - 60 = 6 seconds

ill make a new post called (vr6 mk3 golf and the owner doesnt know much about engine mods. please bark at him every chance you get instead of helping him)

Mate you have to take DH with a spinch of salt dont worry about what he says, he is harmless but does know his sh*t about how to set a track car up. The problem you have is your biting back to him, best not biting bk and he may decided to give you some helpful tips towards your project  

Anyway off the negativty just thought about something else, what breaks have you got? This is usally a normal upgrade for people when they have work done to the engine, at the end of the day if you start to increase the engine power you want to increase the stopping power too.

girling calipers ! green stuff pads ! vented disks on the front and the rear disks look standard !!!!

well that could be another positive that they have spent money on uprating the front breaks, the back breaks dont have as much efficiency as the front so i wouldnt worry too much about them until you turbo/supercharge it.

I've just read through this thread properly now..... You seem to know what you want out of it and it appears you've got cash to throw at it... Lucky for you, it's going to need it, it's difficult to mod an already modded engine and not know whats already done, for your sake i hope the previous owner can help you out.

You seem very excitable, bit of advice, stop being so fecking defensive every time someone says something you don't like, there has been quite a lot of quick, useful advise posted here already, not all of it has been useful in your eyes but then just ignore that and lap up the good stuff.

There are people on here who have worked for VW, tuning companies, prepare track cars etc, already you appear to be rubbing some of them up the wrong way by over reacting to what they are saying to you.  So take a deep breath and enjoy being on one of the most useful sites I have ever been on which comes with some great characters, sarcasm and a bit of humour all for free. That's what this place is about if you take a proper look.

Girling calipers and vented discs are standard, they are standard size as it is running 15" wheels, bigger brakes need bigger wheels.

...?
not helping with these replies are ya to be fair...
good that you have the previous owners details, lets see what comes of that!
what people are trying to say is that "from experience" a 16v mk3 would have gained you more whilst keeping better weight over the front, as im sure you know, the vr lump is a heavy beast!
ive been in a heavily modified vr and if your not wanting to compete just have a few track days at a good pace, then there is nothing wrong with the vr! and i can tell ya it went like sh!t off a shiny shovel!
i would also back up the supercharge route, because its a whole world of difference with one of those slapped on!
as wayne says about the brakes, there are plenty of upgrades to consider too!
