VR6 help

[skatmatt]

I am looking at buying a 94 VR6.

I drove it and it seems to be in decent condition for age and price, however
there are a couple of things here and there and i was wondering if any one could tell me whether its worth the bother.

Needs a new starter motor, indicator cover, gear knob, handbrake boot.
and has the usual cosmetic wear and tear.

Is it worth it, and will it cost a mint to fix?

Gear knob and boot is usual wear and tear.
Starter motor, I'm sure you can get a kit online to overhaul it.
Wont be much mate

cheers

try matt, Golf Loon on this forum and see what he has though.

I would say go see Bug_racer. He built my VR6 and Ive driven it to 5 different states and raced in 2. In 2 weeks time I will race it at drag combat at wsid. The only fault has been the fuel pump so far. Not bad for a 15 year old car and almost 30k km since the rebuild. Here it is at Portland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2XsIGvNBKU

Matt,

I dont mean to be a pain in the arse about this, and If you have found one you like, stick to it. But I am selling my VR in the next few weeks. There is nothing wrong with it except the Air con needs a new compressor and needs new tyres, both of which I will be replacing myself before the sale. Asking about 7500....Just food for thought anyway U can PM me if you want more info.

Also, As for tyres, I had a set of Bridgestone Potenza's on there, Everytime they got hot, they started to loose grip and the car would drift around like buggery, I took them off, put some Maragoni Zeta Linea's on, they were crap also, but Yoki S Drives, I cant fault them, Good with grip in the dry, amazing in the wet....Just my two cents anyway

Your VR sounds like a good deal though i live in NSW, so it will be a bit more effort than this VR.
sorry

No worries Matt, I can understand that, Good luck with the hunt....Just becarefull though, you need to check window regs, aircon and a few little things like that, that can cause potentially huge dollars to fix.
