What are peoples views on these please?

The cossie is as good as up for sale and i need someting reasonably quick but reliable to last me a couple years untill i can afford an escort cossie.

I dont really want to go away from ford but there doesnt seem to be anything decent ford have done that ticks the box's i need.

Are the VR's pretty difficult and expensive to get extra power out of? What do they handle like etc?


any input will be appreciated

thanks

Rossco

Id rather have either the 8v or 16v version. Not much difference in performance and handle better.

They go ok and sound nice with a cone filter! Lol!

BM08

people have good gains from the exhaust etc, and a good air filter.

For real gains your looking at superchargers for ŁŁŁŁ's i think.

Great cars though and sound awesome

adamski frst

i had this one


great car, sounded the nuts pushed about 200hp reliable. then theres the BUT

average was 22-27mpg it handled awful even when i bought coilovers and eibach roll bars too frnt heavy, then you really have to drive them hard for the power...

however it was a very comfortable, reliable, lovely to drive car... i sold mine just to buy my cossie also because it just didnt handle. depends wat you want really...

HTH

Those are the wheels I want for the missus GTi. Azev A's aren't they?

BM08

adam that looked great

How much did you sell it for?

Standard N/A tuning really. They sound the nuts though! And as Adam said, people tend to comment on them being thirsty.

lozi

cheers, im basically after something thats going to be fun, reasonably quick but reliable

i want an RST but i dont think that will give me the reliabilty i require.

im only after 3k for the cos so i wont have much to play with

Munch

id sooner have something like a 106 gti than that wank tank

BM08

Thats enough for a good vr6

Munch

RS Turbo's, Cossie's etc are as reablie as any other car, its just when people just doing dodgy DIY jobs on them, they fuck up

BM08

He said he wanted something reliable

Munch

what the fuck do you know about cars, you mong........your the dude who puts up a thread asking ''what anti-freeze should i buy''.....TIT!


106's are very reabile, nippy, cheap to run blah blah!

BM08

Yeah and as i proved it DOES matter what you put in, you mong.

And ive owned both cars mentioned

lozi

i dont think i could run a 200bp RST reliably for 2 years without spending a small fortune tbh, then theres rot as well!

jammerrs

had a vr6 come past me today while i was on my bmx and it deffo sounded nice

Oranoco

Both my RST's were run as daily runners and neither gave me cause for concern. They always got me to work and always got me home. Only reason I stopped using them as daily runners was I didn't want to spoil them and I needed something a bit more suitable for work. As much as I love my S2 I felt a proper prick climbing out of the roll cage wearing a suit

106 GTi is a 1.6 isn't it? Will feel shit slow compared to a cossie and probably a VR6 as well. I'd get a VR6 to be honest for that money or look at something like BMW E36 323/325/328 or possibly something like a Civic VTi.

lozi

My sisters boyfriend got an E36 M3 evo for sale for not alot more than ill get for the cossie so that is an option.


FRENCH AND JAP ARE DEFINATLY NOT AN OPTION FOR ME, CANT STAND EITHER

Munch

PMSL!

Yes mate, im sure it does, who told you that Halfords?


so, you say you've owned both cars mentioned, what a vr6/GTI? 106? RST?

Munch

your be very suprised to a 106 GTI believe me, they can leave alot of the bigger performance cars standing!

Handle on rails, cheap to run, reabile, fairly cheap now, overal a very nice little car that you could drive everyday & track it on the weekend

BM08

no the two page( at least) thread on here, funny how you remember what the topic title was but not loads of replys agreeing with me

Now back on topic, not about me

lozi

i know what you saying mate but i wouldnt want to ruin an rst either, its pretty much my favourite car id rather have one than the cossie tbh but i think the golf will take alot less to keep it on the road.

the cossie aint been to bad but i have had to spend alot on it to keep it going and it is starting to rot, i cant afford to deal with that sort of thing atm

jammerrs

a lad near me has a nice leather interior to

arr these standard?

adamski frst

yes azev A's wen i sold it i got Ł4500 for it about 4 yrs ago did a search for it few months ago just for a laugh but couldn't find it think the lad who bought it ruined it!?

i was gonna smooth the bumpers few more small bits and it was gonna be perfect then.

few more pics shame i sold it too i had a BB TB to go on and a ported inlet to free up about 20hp more

I like them, purely because the noise the engine makes is PORN!

Need turbo'ing though! Someone by me has one turbo'd, standard engine with a decomp plate, GT3076 and STANDARD managment, made 433bhp on the dyno and about 470lb/ft.

Goes like FUCK!

lozi

this one has caught my eye

I like this one, just a shame about them extra doors

Munch

no, mate, ive read most of the shit on the forum, you clearly are just a fag, you think you know stuff but you dont, it just gets boring!


I really wanna know why you think a 106 gti isnt realible? Why because its french....thats just poor!




Anyway back to topic, I seriously don't know why you wouldnt consider one Lozi, a 106 GTI is a wee little cracker of a car


I have to agree tho, the VR6 sounds the bollocks when its getting hammered but there nothing special, you can even get mk4 GTI's cheap now, a Dirty diesel version is the bussiness with a remap!

lozi

yes that would be the car thats made me want then lol


extra doors lol

lozi

ive been in a few 106 gti/saxo vts etc and as good as they may be for what they are every little dick has one and i cant stand french cars they really are just not for me.

Mk3 is the newest golf i would consider i dont like anything after that

BM08

Your the fag, why talk about me?? this thread is about this guy wanting a Vr6

Now jog on for chirst sake, go read a magazine or something if your bored.

Rich_w

Have you considered a Mk4 GTi Turbo? Bit of haggling might see one for similar money now. And more potential for tuning. The Mk3 cars are getting a bit long in the tooth now.

Or even a 306 Gti-6

No connection.

My mates VR6...........that could be up for sale

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

Mk4 1.8T is as common as fuck nowadays and really don't like them. I've had one in my focus before (132bhp 140ft.lbs) but must have been a standard one. I like the 306 GTi-6 but didn't suggest it because I wouldn't have thought you could get a good one for that price. E36 BMWs that aren't M3s could be gotten decently for around that price Pistonheads suggests. But I've always liked the VR6 so would probably go for one myself. There are later spec models too with more power iirc and different engine codes? Heard that mentioned before somewhere.

lozi

can i just point out again, no french or jap and no golfs newer than a mk3

It's Czech Mate

vr6 handles like a boat anchor on ice.......lovely engine, horrible cars in anything other than a straight line

Munch

BM08.....first prize cock.



RS2000?

Cracking cars and a fabulous engine! How about a Corrado VR6? Can be had for 3K and you get the engine and awesome handling.
