My Burgundy Mk3

[BurgundyMk3]

Hey guys,
This is my mk3. its a 1995 2lt 5spd manual and 130% stock.







Have done a few things since buying the car, one of those buying a vr6 as a parts car



Mods so far
VR6 smoked tailights
JVC Bluetooth headunit
VR6 leather seats front and rear. So much more comfortable and supportive than the saggy stock rubbish
Replace front reflector things with unmolested ones off the vr

Next Up (in order but most likely wont happen)
Get more money
Fix gearshift linkages / Bushes
replace rooted trailing control arm bushes
lube / new starter motor
mk4 gearknob / boot
Lows
Exhaust
wheels
5 stud conversion if i can workout all the ins and outs.

Cheers, Mike

Looks good Mike! Get your hands on a duckbill for the front bumper and it will be 140% stock [emoji14]

Would keep it 4x100. Wheels are hard to come buy in 5x100

looks like a good start

Looks good Mike, mine is about 95% stock but we all gotta start somewhere....

I've sent you a PM

Im loving the stock, means i know the quality of parts / mods that get done to it.
Speaking of, booked in for a new exhaust next Saturday.

Nice ride man, will you be converting the motor?

[BurgundyMk3]

Nahh. I'm liking the nice fuel economy. My other car is a 4.2l patrol so this thing is like a fuel saving god to me. The 2ltr isn't too bad. Plus's the VR has a pretty bad knock.

Bit of an update.

Got a new exhaust fitted this morning. But, its way to bloody loud. Will have to go back and get them to make it a little less loud.
hopefully i can brave a few drives to work and back till i can get it sorted. I mean, who knew straight pipe from the cat back would be loud eh?

In other news, i wired up a bunch of speakers i got from in the parts car, so that's good i guess.

[Juzzpc]

do you have any videos of how it sounds with that pipe from the cat ??

woah, that is loud for idle.

[BurgundyMk3]

yea, its not gonna stay like that i can tell you now.

[Juzzpc]

damn, was thinking of doing this to my vr, probably way too loud, probably no where near legal but then again not many vdubbers cars are completely legal [emoji16] you have a real clean car btw I like.
