Anyone had one?

i know being a conversion its only a small group that will have had them.

but i've been offered a properly sorted one with cage, full mk3 running gear, abs, etc etc. (so wide track) uprated brakes all round

buckets, oil cooler, h&r track ARB's front and rear, uprated bushes.

all for 2k.

Opinions?

 

Good fun for that money mate lee leivat (sp) had one. 20v turbo is the way to go in the mk2's now tho

 

yeah i know that was thats what i was going to do with my mk1, but you cant pick a tidy one up for 2k, lol

this is just a run around toy

 

Lee Ivatt's one looked absolutely lovely... the sound from a VR6 with uprated induction is something else IMO. Seems like you've been offered a good deal for that one Ryan, sounds very track biased and not sure that the heavy V6 up front wont knock the handling a wee bit.. but its certainly got a lot of uprated/conversion bits to compensate for the heavier engine so bet its still a proper hoot.

Be good for the odd track day ect as well & a trip to the ring

 

yeah i think the heavy front end thing may be a myth, well not a myth, but i tihnk if done properly its virtually not noticable with the extra weight if compensated for correclty.

i think people just bang in vr6 lump on skinny wheels and narrow track without sorting the geometry.

seems like a lot of car for 2k, seeing as the seats and ARB's are about Ł700 on there own.

only downside for me is its red, but i guess i cant have everything for 2k lol

 

Do it! Keep it for a year or so, then sell it for Ł2k again!

 

Assuming it's not a nail, for 2K it's a bargain! Got any pics?

 

far far far from a nail!

 

friend of mine up the road from me has it, bought it as a toy (same reason as me) to cheap to say no, but has too many toys, and now wants an exige.

 

I had one, the V6 sound is Loverly, and the myth about the front end is just a myth.

Lee Ivatts was awesome IMO perfect.

Will have one one day, and IMO a vr6 mk2 let alone a lighter mk2 is perfect for day to day cruising around.

the noise = sex.

 

to be honest this is only a cheap toy, the paintwork aint great, and red is my worse colour for a car, but for the money its hard not to like it, going to take it for a test drive tonight, see whats what.

if i like it that much and keep it,i might even paint it

 

sounds like a bargain. a mate of mine had one for a while, and that was a proper hoot. not as nimble as it had been as standard, but really impressive the rest of the time

 

vr6 ftw !

 

Get it bought mate, have driven a few and you can still throw them about just as much as a 16v just watch for the back coming round on you as lift off over steer is crazy with these.
