whats so wrong with a vr6 mk1!

Same thing that's wrong with it in a MK2 but worse, as DH put it, it's a lumphammer

Oh dear this old chesnut! You'd find a mk2vr on reasonable suspension doesn't drive particularly differently to a standard mk2, unless your name is Michael Schumacher or Thomas Cowley.

Lets not forget the 1.8T is allegedly just as heavy with all the ancillaries.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Precisely. I'm not sure anyone could successfully argue the point of using a mk1/mk2VR as a track car. As a road car however, it will make all the right noises and still put a smile on your face. Lets not advertise racetrack-style driving on public highways...   :nerd:

Back on topic, I like it however its a bit to showy/clean for me to consider using as a daily (says he with an orange car)

Oh no! of course not a daily, would never enter my mind.  it's better than mine and I wouldn't even put mine through the pain of being donkey.

Dials are all wrong. This car would be perfect with a 1.8, 16v or even an 8v G60 in there.

Im just being picky tho, would definitly have it how it is.

Too heavy for a mk1, makes all the right nosies but 16v / G60 is a better choice.
