I am back, but this time with 280 horses!
« on: 12 February 2013, 15:28 »
Hi people  :smiley:

Well it has been over a year since I sold my VR6 and I have been trotting round in a diesel as a daily......Until today!

I have bought a 3 door 1997 black MK3 VR6 but with an Audi TT engine in with a bigger Turbo, upgraded injectors, mapped etc.....Rolling road printout shows 279.8bhp.

Nice car and rather quick!  Needs a few little bits doing here and there but that is part of the fun!!

Looks to be a decent car for the money if it is that one.

unfortunately last place I was a chef at the bloke didn't pay me for 2 months of employment I didn't turn up as im meant to get paid weekly id say 8 weeks behind is enough then got "sacked" for gross misconduct taking them to court but slow progress and my new job is monthly first pay check isn't till 5th of march  :sick:

in the last 5 months gone from turbo 2000 and my golf to pauls diesel oh well gotta take it on the chin either sell the cars or not make rent!

Seen this and wondered What rolling road was that logged on ??   Standard TIP and 280 bhp with a K04 ? seems a bit generous to say the least 
 :wink:
