Vr6 is in!

[leeds_182]

The vr6 has finally been dropped into my mk2 golf.

Not driven it much yet but needless to say it's an improvement on the 1.8 8v.

Just a couple of iPhone pics to start - I'll get some better ones tomoz

Still needs a few bits on the body sorting and need a new filter and wheels and exhaust........

Money pit but I love it!

 

[Fred@BTM]

they sound cool, shame they're not as fast as they sound

 

[Daniel]

My mate had one that I borrowed for a few hours.

I loved it, the noise is proper addictive. Like Fred said though, its a shame they don't go/handle as well as they could have done.

Can't go wrong with modding a mk2 either, massive massive following for them.

 

[Silent_Scone]

that looks a bit tight! Epic engines.

At it's best when it's in the Corrado though

 

[Turkish]

Good work. What rims you looking to put on to it?

 

[Gaz_]

They sound epic imo

 

[Gaz.]

Nice work Jim. Has Gareth got in touch with you about the bodywork?

 

[VeinAST]

Brilliant! Ideal MK2 is Atlas Grey or Oak Green with a VR6

 

[leeds_182]

Nice work Jim. Has Gareth got in touch with you about the bodywork?

Yes mate, cheers.

 

[leeds_182]

Bbs rm's if I can afford them.

 

[Marky_]

Nice. Like it.

 

[LeeJSA]

Slap a GT35 on it & away you go!!

 

[david hodson]

2.8 or 2.9?

 

[D4N13L]

Less mpg than a 911 from these engines.

Great project though.

 

[leeds_182]

2.8!

Fuel economy is pants but it's not a daily so not that bothered.

 

[Englebert]

Nice job!

 

[leeds_182]

Few more shots after a clean

 

[daveski]

Lovely.

 

[Gray]

Lovely sounding motor...

 

[Laura]

pics not working for me, but i do like a vr6, timing chains are a nightmare tho and my ex went throuigh several engines on his mk3 cabrio with one it... the noise tho... om nom nom

 

[_Tom]

Lovely. I love more doors and the colour. Perfecto.

PS never change the orange indicators either..

 

[leeds_182]

I love the more doors as well. Lob the kids in and have a dive to the coast.

 

[jesus]

Videos needed!

 

[davo172]

Sweet mate !! :approve:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I love those in 5 door!

Cant help but think a vag 1.8t would have been better

 

[mat-nos]

really tidy motor, i like it alot

 

[kev182cup]

still look good mk2's on the outside at least.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Great stealth barge. Shame they're not very fast, but the noise is sublime!!

 

[leeds_182]

Done a quick drive by video. Will upload in a minute.

[skatedemonuk]

sounds well will keep an eye out for this

 

[jesus]

Love it

 

[Munson]

People are saying they're not very fast. Surely that isn't the case in a MkII car? They must be pretty handy I'd imagine. No?

Feels quick to me mate. Certainly on a par with the Clio 172, 182 and 197s I've driven.

Double post nightmare - apologies.

 

[Silent_Scone]

a mk2 golf weighs roughly 900kg..add the weight of the engine.. A vr6 out of a golf is what, 190bhp? Would have a few people scratching their heads I would imagine

 

[Matt Cup]

Sounds ace! Nice work

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Looking good mate!

 

[leeds_182]

Cheers dude.

 

[Gaz.]

They sound awesome, I just wish they weren't a VW lump and gave a better output for their size.
