that don't seem a very fair exchange   :(
bet that VR was fun to drive  as well ;)

like a VR myself but have got the 8valve GTi for now

Preston Pirate:
The VR was a beast! It started out life as an 8 valve GTi I then swapped the running gear over for VR6 stuff out of a 55k mile VR6 highline. I sourced the Vortech supercharger from the states along with the fitting kit, fitted a dastek piggy-back for the ECU and had it re-mapped  to suit. It was putting out around 270 bhp which is more than enough in a FWD car!

kdw712:
270 Gee gee's   :shocked:

mmmm 

Preston Pirate:
Yup!

1st gear was a write off, 2nd just span up too if you were too heavy footed and 3rd was just brutal!

My mate has a VR with a similar spec and he's just fitted a Quaife 6 speed box and limited slip diff, makes a massive difference on getting the power down.

If you ever get a VR, budget another £2k for a 'charger it's the best 2-large you'll ever spend!  :D
