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?

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.

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

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
