nothing much new!

been on holiday so had no time with the vr or money to fuel it at the having to drive round in the mrs 1.3 toyota yaris  :cry:

gave it a nice drive today, remembered the ride, its terrible its currently on standard shocks with 40 or 60 mm lowering springs, currently handles like jelly coilovers needed!!!!

downside to VR ownership, thirst... that would annoy me not having the funds to fill it up. I have enough trouble with mine!  :grin:

MK3, jelly?... no way.  :grin:

Why not just fit a good quality set of shocks and keep the springs you have already got.

In that case try to avoid cheap / budget coilovers, not worth fitting on a VR as the engine weight will kill them quick.
