1996 vr6

[dubsweeper]

Hey v dubbes !!! Just thought I might say I have just got a VR6 black 1996 model. I think the fella out of the candem gti may know about it? anyway its in WA now .....

My first golf was a 1976 2 door LS, which took me 1 year without any trouble and all stock, funny how they pull out with all the weight in the back and still pull into 4 gear!!!
Then was a 1991 gti, heavy on a feel of looks but unmodified except the air side and exhaust was all but sound and mature ....... but today was the vr6 for 3000 g 96 model and these things pull ... never had been in a car like this!! except the suspension is nothing like the mk2 gti 8v

Any one in wa ?? would be cool to meet up with some support on this car .... all black concept leather 5 speed manual, all refit was by by Camden GTI!! gearbox and motor?

All good so far!!! Needs better suspension?

Welcome to VR6 ownership! We will help you spend your money no problems You might want to look into getting a set of coilovers and a definite must to improve handling is a rear swaybar. Nuespeed is my preferred brand for swaybars

Hey welcome to the forum and congrats on your VR6. Coilovers would be an excellent upgrade ! The previous owner must have only had the VR6 for only few months as I remmeber a car going to perth from camden GTI. Nontheless, glad to see the car in good hands again.

coilovers from evorobin (pm him) for 500, f+r whiteline swaybars at less than 250 each = an awsome suspension setup for <1000$

hey dubsweeper, I graduated throught the VW ranks the same way except instead of a VR6 i went for an Ibiza Cupra 16V....first was a 76 MK1, then 91 Mk2 Gti, then the Cupra..however I did manage to encourage my old man to get a VR6, and you are right the Mk2 is a great handler

3K for a VR6 sounds like a good deal, good luck with it

I don't think Whiteline make swaybars for the VR6 Mischa? The Nuespeeds from Dubboi (Rennenhaus) came in at about the same $$ if not a bit less for both and are excellent, plus you get to support one of our own forum member's businesses Not to mention excellent customer service and product back up (shameless plug)

$220-$250 and you can pick them up from any autobarn outlet or other significant auto retailer. They're even cheaper for a MK4, and they can be adjustable too...

No ****? You have a colour concept???? I have a colour concept and I'm in Perth!!!!

We must meet asap

Oh and I have KW V2s in mine, if you wanna feel a what a good suspension setup is like in a vr6.

[dubsweeper]

thanks for all the input!!! yeah its a colour concept so the badges say on the side of the back doors and on the front seats... jet black metallic with a remus twin exhaust 15inch bbs wheels 205s, the starter motor is throwing out a bit , have to get onto that asap and a cracked windscreen, thats all thats wrong with it . heated seats hahaha that will keep the ladys happy. yeah matty t have to catch up and give me some pointers where to go !!will sell my mk2gti which is going to pay for the suspension and wheels, $3000 for it with only 180 000klm.... cheers

Is the gti auto or man?

My heated seats sadly no longer work

If you are NoR, get the starter motor seen to by Joe @ Golfwagen, hes an excellent mech.

Remus ftw. How does it sound?

[dubsweeper]

hey,, manual gearbox, joe put one in last year, and had a new head put in as well ,have all reciets from way back!!!! the remus exhaust is quiet but sweet, thats the way i prefer... have snow flake rims on the gti too,and a champion momo steering wheel , just needs a cat converter

[Golf Loon]

Is this Maccas car? Or are you him?
Pommie geezer owned that car. Good Bloke, get him to call me or Jason if you see him.

It used to be auto and had a cracked head, I did the full conversion for my mate in my back yard! I had a donor smashed VR6.
Is the passenger window tinted yet? We had to smash it once when Macca lost the key in a Taxi! Doh.

That starter has been noisy for 2 years mate.
Nice Car though, I love the front seats
Enjoy it.
