    My 95 golf VR6

    Hello everyone,

    After spending the last week trolling this forum I thought it was about time I introduced my self.

    My name is Ben and this is my 1995 VW Golf VR6,









    I brought it 3 weeks ago and have been struck on how cool this car is. I drove a Daihatsu Feroza before this and bugger me what an upgrade.

    Found it in a car yard up hear in Newcastle (where I live), took it for a test drive and fell in love. It’s only done 141.000 and as far as I know pretty much bog stock. At the moment I have not got any major plans for it (just the sound system) and maybe a new set of wheels. Being a "p" plater my insurance does not like many modifications so im pretty limited.

    The sound system im putting in it is an Alpine head unit, if I can get them in the doors there will be Sound Stream SST's front and back, and a Sound Stream PCW-12 sub. Speakers and sub will be running off Kenwood amps.

    Thats about it really, Im loving the forum have learnt so much just from searching the forums. Look forward to hopefully joining in on a few meet ups.

    PS Is there and VR6 drivers in Newcastle?

    Cheers Ben

            Dam that would have been terrible. No not offended at all, I kind of guessed this part of the forum would be like it (I only noticed it after a week of being on hear lol)

            Welcome! Damn I'm jealous of P-platers with VR6s!
            LOL, yeah they are that sort of car :biggrin. Funny thing is but, im only paying $130 more a year in insurance then my last car (Daihatsu Feroza). Go figure

            Cheers Ben

                dude, save up, put that thing on coilies and get a supercharger. then, you can smoke many, many people (meaning, you can get to the speed limit faster than them, but no faster ehem ehem).

                i DO love the mk3 vr......

                        Funny bout that! There's also Ben in Adelaide with Maroon (not sure what that colour is called) VR6 :p

                        I likey! Lots of things you can do to a golf, but the most common for that DUB appearance is the ol drop n poke.

                        Good luck with the modding!

                              If only... petty they didn't also come with CAI, and free flowing exhaust, and decent chip, and turbo and bigger brakes... and... and...

                              Thanks heaps for the Hot Tuning coilovers Robin. Fitting them has transformed the car into a road hugger plus making it a whole lot better to look at

                              Hey Stotto, saw your car and thought I was seeing double there for a minute... my long lost twin?
