So, here is my ride... not absolutely sure on the details of what has been done but the basics are: Lowered on 17" wheels and Blaupunkt sounds!

OK...so don't laugh. It's about as bog-standard as it gets and probably not worthy of VASK membership...
I have bought this as my daily ride to work...1st registered in Japan in Feb 1998; it's done just a tad over 70,000km and had one owner in Japan - full service history came with the car.

Mods:

* Clip-on mobile phone holder
* iPod dock
* new aerial (B-Sting)
* English Handbook
* VW Keyring
* VASK Sticker
* JDM Alloy Wheels
* New (factory standard Clarion) Radio/head unit (courtesy of Ian)

Mods to come:

* Due to budgetary and marriage constraints, I will not be in a position to modify this car (as much as I would love to): If anyone is giving away BBS Wheels and/or lowering kit...I would like to take the opportunity to put my hand up now... ;D

Update as of July 2007:

New wheels and a few bits and bobs done:

Post by: HandsomeDan on March 21, 2007, 04:36:09 PM
Yeah...I meant to ask...how do those come off? Do I just unscrew the plate and find some other screws underneath, or will I need to "rip" it off? Will I need grommets to fill any holse left by removing it?

My Brother's GTI had the same holder.
I removed the plate to find it was riveted to the body, so I drilled out the rivet heads and off it came.
I then cut the big tabs off and reattached it using bolts, then screwed the plate back on.

Oh, and to stop the bottom of the plate holder from rubbing/rattling against the body I stuck some thick foam tape stuff on between them.

Mine was similar to what rambo said

I got one screwed out, & drilled the head of the other, head was stripped out.. the screwed out with some pliers

No new holes needed, just re-used the bolts

BTW, the US guys on vwvortex go nuts for that jap spec VW stuff..  they all went wow when this guy posted a pic of a jap MK3 hatch, all were wanting that plate mount we want off our cars
they asked me to ship them a hatch, cause the plate plinth, abouve the plate.. is different that Euro, it has a bludge in the middle..

I had the same they were bolted.......i just move the plate in the corect positio ...mesured al the centre line and position of the wholes and yay.......the screws now just sit over some of the numbers but dont look odd......i did the same to the front ....moved the plate up to the line that sits above it .....just lines up well!

Hi, here's my '97 VR6, the 10th V Dub I've owned over the last 15 years or so. The only mods being 17" alloys, -40mm Jamex springs with Koni struts, K&N air filter. Sorry the pic is lousy phone camera quality, will post some better pics...

Was it the European and NZ VR6's that had the black plastic wheel arch trim, like a GTi ??   Mines a japanese import and it doesn't have 'em and I always liked how they looked. It's funny, now most Euro tuners whip them off!
The grass is always greener......

It is fun and really nice to drive now, much more refined than the 8v.

Upper front strut brace is on with no clearance issues, the Milltek needed a longer resonator as it was far too loud with the 16v
The headlights from the donor were Morette quads too, so i have a spare set. And they had the xenon upgrade fitted, now on mine
I have some 16" BBS RNs that i will fit later, vert made the clutch pedal stronger, so it wont go bang  :)
Would like to get a big lip on again, but the driveway will kill it

Nice fun daily, just filling it with gas and going at mo


Just put the big lip back on, you might bugger one of then every year but whats $100 when the car looks right? ;)

OK...so don't laugh. It's about as bog-standard as it gets and probably not worthy of VASK membership...
I have bought this as my daily ride to work...1st registered in Japan in Feb 1998; it's done just a tad over 70,000km and had one owner in Japan - full service history came with the car.

Mods:

* Clip-on mobile phone holder
* new aerial (the sticky-up bit only)
* English Handbook
* VW Keyring
* VASK Sticker


Mods to come:

* New Radio/head unit (courtesy of Ian)
* Due to budgetary and marriage constraints, I will not be in a position to modify this car (as much as I would love to): If anyone is giving away BBS Wheels and/or lowering kit...I would like to take the opportunity to put my hand up now... ;D


OK...so an update on the jap plate holder thing...finally got around to puling the plate off and what would you know! The plateholder was screwed on and came off really easily.
Drilled new holes in the plate to match the ones on the car body, used the original screws and it looks great! Now I just need Euro plates to fill the big space...

Hello - new kid on the block  ;)
Picked myself up a new car a month or so ago, and the sun is finally shinning, so I took some pictures.

It's a '95 Golf GTI - black  >:D. Some of you may have seen it, either on TradeMe or where it used to live, in the Pakaranga/Howick area. It rolled round on 17s, but it now lives on the shore and is back on the stock 15s.
Not 100% sure what?s been done to it, but it has the Zender body with what looks to be an ABT front lip, and the Hella light kit. I'm pretty sure it's been lowered, possibly on aftermarket springs, but I'm not too sure. Has a Remus exhaust (does that come stock?), Recaro interior, all the usual etc. Can't forget the black badges either. Not sure if anything else has been done.
It's reasonably high mileage, but most of it has been open road, and it's been serviced regularly at Continental.
I'm going to touch up the front of it, because as you can see there are a few stone chips and other marks.

If your 56k, go make a coffee..


Enjoy:

Oh yep. Yea its 207k now. It put me off initially, but nearly half of it has been highway driving which isn't too bad, and alot of the things you would expect to have to start replacing with a high milelage car have been done. Plus my Dad knows one of the VW specilists at Continental who was able to give us some history on the car.
I never saw the 17s that where previously on the car, she had already sold them before I saw the car.
She wanted $6500, but in the end got it for $4600, so yea I thought that was a pretty sweet deal, because apart from the mileage it's all pretty sweet.

The 17"s where nice.it looked really good with them on. I must say u got it for a very good price. Told u I wanted to give her 8g and she said 9g which was too much for 180k. But yeah,the car was driving very well then as well.

Is it difficult to keep clean ?
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: Berry on September 18, 2007, 12:14:30 PM
Not really, i've got some good leather cleaner and conditioner, but it doesn't really attract the dirt. The floor mats get a bit dirty, but the front ones are a bit knackered anyway, so i'm going to replace them with grey ones (the ones in the back are a grey colour). I think the cheapest option is to get them made up at a carpet place. 140 bucks from CCS! Not keen!

I'll certainly be keeping her for a while. Shame that I have to fold the back seats forward a lot, so the tops of them are getting damaged be because they jam up against the front seats. Almost cried when i saw the wear for the first time

I have had the car since Dec last year. As for plans for the car well I have on of those electric supercharges coming from ST Tuning also comes with chip (check out stchiptuning.com), They say you can increase power up to 30hp. I haven't received it yet but I will keep posted. Regards to a jet fighter, I don't think so some how it's only a Golf. If anyone is looking for dealer parts & workshop manuals go to www.electronicmanuals.co.uk. You can get them for 9.99sterling from the UK. They come in DVD format but you can download the ETOS part catalogue with VW part numbers. Very handy indeed.

If you can still get your money back, do so!  The supercharger doesn't work and the 'chip' (its no really a chip) just tricks your car into adding more fuel.

too much rubbing, theres a time where you do actually need to get around the streets without having rubber flying off everywhere. i have had to remove splash guards, roll guards and file out the front of the guard to stop the BRAND new tires from rubbing, i would go lower but that would be if i was stupid and didnt want a front kit and bald tires

HI all, Im Nic, new to the forum and to the wide world of european cars, just this week i purchased a 93 mk3 vento, just hit the 50,000kms mark tonight. Mods so far are aftermarket steering wheel and 17" mags, will hopefully get them resprayed in another colour, or maybe just new ones altogether.
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: jettamaniac on January 24, 2009, 09:31:19 PM
some hopeful future mods include upgrading suspension, a decent stereo, and quite possibly some exterior visual enhancing  :)

Sadly the picture doesn't show the cracking in the paint of the front bumper. It's also taken a ding since that picture was taken. When I've got some spare cash I'll get the bumper resprayed.

Hey just getting back on VASK, havn't been on in forever and lost my old login.
Have MK3 gli 4door. no mods yet, just general upkeep and had lowering springs put in shortly after I got it.

Plans/dreams. Ultimately If i had the finances and a 2nd car so i can take this one off the road. 1.8t conversion with a modified turbo for a bit more hp.
Paint isn't too bad, patchy in places and would love a nice black.
Been putting off having secure tints put in. Should really get that done, peace of mind really, my old mk2 was broken in to and they stole pretty much everything a few years back (on my birthday). Put secure tints on right after that to increase security and peace of mind. On a side note they caught the bugger using DNA from his blood on my driveway (he broke the rear window with his fist lol)

anyway, will be replacing the front strut mounts in a weekend or 2. thanks to dubshack for the parts :)
not expecting any major changes for a while... unless i win lotto lol.

glad to be back.

Welcome to VASK! That Golf looks an awful lot like my old ride...except mine was an auto. Didn't realise there were any Manual GLI's around.

Your mod ideas sound expensive...I think you'd probably be better served to get a 1.8T MkIV and mod that...it'd be cheaper.

Looks good on the lowered springs. Did the wheels come with it, or did you buy those after you got the car?
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: VWnoobGUY on April 15, 2009, 04:37:08 PM
Yep mags came with it which is nice. I have some 17"s i wanted to put on but since lowering it they wont fit so have sold those on.

Yew was stoked to find a 2L manual, Im pretty sure the exhaust has been modified, has quite a nice engine sound.

Only thing ive really done is the sound system. Replaced the standard 6" speakers with sony xplode's added a pioneer head unit with rsa input for the ipod. and a 10" sub with 600watt amp. sounds great but would like to replace the front tweeters on the dash. they a bit more tricky to source anything aftermarket. any suggestions?

yea might consider a 1.8t mk4 or maybe a vr6. really need to get a drive in them to see what they like. Ive heard the vr6 can be a bit heavy round the corners and the mk4 1.8t isn't as quick as it should be. (without modification)

Ideally Id love to get a 2door mk2 (my first car) and do it up real nice. again its a money thing. They getting harder and harder to find now, esp the GTI's. having said that theres a few nice looking specimens on trademe at the moment.

Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: coons on April 15, 2009, 05:29:55 PM
Any component speaker system will be fine to mount in the front of your car, the tweaters don't fit in the factory moutning for them (as it's huge) however you can still sit them in there
However you have to be carefull, with some of the speakers the grille doesn't fit back on the door after you put them in. I have Infinity's in mine and had to modifiy the grille to fit in place, they sound excellent though, only running off the head unit as well.

For about the cost of upgrading to a MkIV GTI, you could drop a 1.8t into yours, would make it alot more unique then a plain old MkIV, but the MkIV GTI is also a nice car

Here is my GTI

owned for 1 year so far @ 85000km,  ABF 2.0l
Very quiet tidy, reliable, safe car.  Good handling.

Would like to drop in a turbo or swap in for R32 engine or MK4 1.8t with full mods.  ABF to crappy in my opinion, doesnt do the car any justice, really have to give the car a good rape when dragging off at the lights.

Kinda new to this forum but recently brought a Mk3 16v.
This is to replace my Mk2 digifant 1.8 which i am now am selling.
Ill put photos up once I take some although both are pretty standard.
Previously my old man has owned both the original Mk1 1.6 Gti and a Mk2 GTi 16v(which he brought from near new about 18 years ago).

GL spec, 2.0L 8V.  VR6 running gear from the driveshafts onwards.  How it looked 6 months back a little before my accident:

Since then I've been lazy but have now got the damage fixed up (mangled front crossmember mounts) and gradually putting it back together.  Engine and gearbox has been painted, engine bay has been painted, relocated a few more things, and have some other bits and pieces stockpiled.  Currently extending engine bay wiring loom for some wire tuck action.  Doing this all at home (besides the welding) and my first time so I don't have an expectation for high-class results.  Hoping to have it running in 4 weeks (ready for a VW meet down in Melbourne).  More pics to come at that time!

Cheers.

I've had it for a coupe of years now, and have another Mk3 too. Kiwi born but in Australia like half the kiwis are, but heading back soon for a mates birthday and a cousins wedding.

Well one of mine fell out, some people go for the kamei intake, or other, I guess the long fake fogs just look a little dated. Mine are back on, but next car might eventually get the holes shaved.

Picked up a 97 GTI for quite cheap, low ks only done 74,000. Loving the car, just need to get rid of the CD stacker and put in a headunit and I'll be happy with it for a while. Thinking about what to do with it with the money I get from selling my old car. Any ideas?

Lower it slightly, paint the wheels with brighter silver and good clear coat....treat all the black plastic bits all over the car with and oil to bring the shine back, give it a cut and polish and wax, get the interior vallaid and stand back in the aww of what it would of looked like from the factory

Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: Number21 on May 23, 2010, 02:40:48 PM
Yeah that is the one. It has been lowered on Koni shocks (damper adjustables) and has Jamex seats in it (which recline, thank god). Nolathene bushes, and has had an afermarket stereo/speaker/sub etc put in it.

It just needs a good clean and a wax, a euro lip, a bit of a paint touch up here and there and maybe some aftermarket headlights/grill if i feel like it. No other plans for now  :)

The VR6 is up and running, goe's pretty good also, there's a little bit of slip in 4th so a gearbox service is next.
As soon as it was down off the ramps my BBS split rim bargins were in place and looking good 8)
It's going to be the family car and the wife will drive it normally, because if I drive it the fuel will bankrupt us as the
VR roar is adictive >:D
A good cut and polish is on the cards also

1994 VR6, NZ New, 3 door, Tornado Red, black heated leather, 198,000kms, auto (  :-\ )

Plans for it are to tidy it up, LR wheel arch trim, front reflector and sort out fourth gear not engaging! Love the drive of the VR6 but not as nippy around town as the manual 97 GTI was.

picked up this 97 gti 16v manual done 137km yesterday CHEAP! it was for sale on the side of the road in pukekohe. just needs some new leads or plugs i guess as it has a slight miss at 3000rpm stutters then pulls freely to 7 ;)

yea i know i think 7mm would be perfect, ive been looking but cant fint the longer bolts required for the slip on type and the smallest bolt on type i can find is 15mm which would be way to much poke :-\
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: JDVW on June 04, 2010, 08:30:41 AM
this is what ive done (havent put them on yet) but i got an old set of discs and machined the centres out
on the lathe and used them as spacers. that may work? dont really know much bout mk3's

I was looking for longer bolts a while ago when I was doing spacers, it was something like $20+ per bolt.. times that by the number of bolts and yea stuff that!
I just stuck with my standard bolts (only 3mm spacers though). It means I get 5 turns of the bolt compared to the 7-8 turns with no spacer (law states you require 6 turns)

@ Choppy - looks like you picked up a pretty clean ride there bro!
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: JDVW on June 04, 2010, 12:52:48 PM
your getting ripped if your paying 20 a bolt! i payed that much for a set of 4 that were longer than my standard ones and were lock nuts
and that was still pricey

Here is a pic of my new wagon (ex SOFTLAD).

Finished off the brake conversion on Friday.

Took her for a run down to Rotarua. Handled very well and the 5 speed on the open road was a pleasure.

Lots left on the list (interior/body/coilovers/ABF?) but great to have it up and running.

Trick  8)
We're going to have some pimp'n Mk3's lined up at the Nationals...

What polish/wax/other products do you use on your black paint Omar? I use Meguires 3 step often with a clay bar too, but honestly I spend forever trying to get damn swirls etc out of the paint!
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: Omes on October 29, 2010, 09:32:27 AM
Sam, I use Meguiars too, I love the stuff, it does what I need it to do.

Use their ScratchX2.0 with a detailing pad (twin pack are only $5.95) and then use SwirlX to remove any swirl marks. If you have a machine polisher that would be even better, but be sure to set the rpm around 1400-1800rpm, no more, you don't need too much speed and most importantly get the 'finishing pad'. If you have deeper sracthes and say over spray on your body work, use thir Ultimate compound with the wool applicator.

Mate, seriously Ive just spent over $300 on all this kit a few weeks ago, but that way I can do all three cars and make sure I do it my way in my time, I could'nt justify paying some pro over $400 for one car who may miss a bit here and there  ::)

YouTube is your friend, I got some great tips off there, there is a whole load of official Meguiars training vid's  8)

Im lucky the paint work was mint since it left the factory, Im at the stage now where all I have to do is keep a nice layer of Meguiars wax on the body to keep care of it. I use the Meguiars speed detailer (to remove any dust or traffic film from crapty trucks and buses in front of you) with the large Meguiars terry towels, then Quick wax with their nice large polishing cloths (microfibre).

Hope that helps bud.

Thought i'd post a pic up of my new VR6 which replaced the crashed one. I bought the honey from Matt (MK1Golf) and rescued the VR from the south island and brought it back home to jaffa-land (it is red after all). Matt did a great job as caretaker of the VR with me not really having to do much or wanting to really.
The specs of the car are somewhere in the trading post so feel free to look them up, i'll just put some pics up. I have just added a new stereo system, new alarm, VR6 sill protectors and glove box. I'm pretty happy with the styling and will eventually put the rear strut brace, bilsteins, zender rear spoiler colour coded on and once I get the front bumper clips fixed (the ones that hold the duck bill and VR6 deep spoiler) i'll fit my VR6 lip.

A set of tasty Oz Superturismos waiting for a refurb too, not sure on colour scheme yet tho...

It honestly happens so fast, I think there was a slow puncture in th rear tyre as felt really weird I. The corners and I just shrugged it off as it was wet etc. I wasn't speeding in the slightest, maybe 80 on an 85 corner and that was just enough I guess for it to pop. It kind of happened in slow mo as the car spun and I just thought crap- it's ok I'll slide on the verge and then it will be fine. But, no as soon as it hit the grass due to it being so water logged the wheels dug in and flipped the car, I just remember the passenger glass shattering and flying across my face the coming to a stop and sliding into the ditch! Was like a roller coaster ride and just surreal... Gotta love German engineering tho, and would never go back to anything else after that.

I think the sound of my old VR6 is the biggest thing I miss about it. From about 3,800RPM where the sound hardens and the car really starts to move right up to the red line :)

Hey Guys,

I'm quite proud of how my car came out after I gave it a good wash and wax and got all the black bits looking black again, not that ugly faded colour. I'll admit that I'm no master with waxing cars, this being my first attempt, but I'm happy with how it all came out. Enjoy.

Baby Zara is awesome thanks mate.

Looks to me like a nice ride height there bro, tyres are already pretty much kissing the arches. That's the prob with 17" wheels on a mk3, you can never go low enough, you need 16" for that  ;) but then again you never wana go too low and always at risk of the dreaded cracking the sump.

Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: coons on March 07, 2011, 05:36:31 PM
Don't worry, the 'low' hasn't happened yet!  ;)

To roll the guards I did what Omar did on his Mk2 and 3. Take off the wheel and jack it up (on a proper jack!  :P), remove the trim by drilling out the rivets, then use a rubber mallet to smack the body and fold it up.
Make sure the inside of the arch is clean first, no little rocks etc stuck in there when you try to fold it.
Also using a heat gun is advisable so that the paint doesn't crack when doing it (although the trim will hide it if something does go wrong)

Then I used an angle grinder with a cutting disc to cut off the lip on the arch trim. Then drilled 3 new holes through the trim and body work, and used screws to reattach it.
You will also probably need to use the angle grinder to trim the top of the rear bumper as mine scrapped there too

No big secret - probably (unless someone makes me a reasonable offer in the meantime) be some Volk VR-5s for a little JDM/Euro/90s look crossover. Been looking for ages for some and finally got my grubby little mitts on some 16x8 5x100 ET30. 205/45 and a 10mm rear space and should be good to go.  8) (Body coloured centres would really set it off though)

Rears spaced out 10mm to now give a final offset of ET17 rear and ET27 front. Pretty much flush, if I had more stretch I would poke them out a bit more though

I can't help but feel it needs to go... LOWER! But I don't think it is actually possible? Any lower and you can barely turn the front wheels, I don't know how you see people achieve the look of having the tyre slightly tucked into the guard....?

I've got to fix a few paint issues too. Before the new wheels go on I HAVE to roll the rear guards, one of the tyres got chomped and it put a scrape in the paint of the wheel too  >:(.


If anyone has some Mk3 Gti recaros and matching rear seats in the south island, I'd be interested. Barry, know of any?  :P

Don't do it man! An early red and black 3 door VR is a pretty thing - so is a late one, but in a different way.

All the VWs are getting racks on them now :P I'll be getting some for the mk4 too.

I've had this for a year now, new member and first time post to this site. I'm a broke student so at this stage the only changes I've made are 16in BBS RXIIs to replace RTG wheels which were curbed to bits, new stage one clutch from Gripforce in The States, German flags on the sides to match the Italian ones on my brother's Lancia Delta Turbo, replaced gear knob with a chrome one as all the leather was falling off. Also got it alarmed. It's manual, 188000km, used to live in CHCH.
I really like the look of Poonmobile's old one, especially height. My wishlist for cosmetic stuff would be: lowering it (don't know how much to lower/cost), maybe some light tints, roof racks. I feel like the mauve needs a bit of jazzing up, as the black trim just blends in but I won't be able to afford a respray any time soon. So I put the flags on, also am considering painting the calipers yellow. I like the look of black and silver wheels ala the old MNSOON and wonder whether the RXIIs might look quite cool like that. Would like to hear from Poonmobile as I've been through all these pictures and he managed to make his mauve 4 door look really cool.

Hey mate, welcome! The official name for that colour is twighlight violet, I wouldnt be calling mauve... Sounds naff  ;)Lol!
Mine started pretty much exactly where yours is now, the first couple of things I did was give it a really good clean, you may need to save up and get a clay bar system but it will be worth it! This will bring the paint back to life, as it's one of the few colours that received a metalic finish and when clean and polished looks the business!

Suspension and exhaust would be next on your list, my advice is do you research and do it right, I.e don't go too cheap, this will require you to save as well! You have some decent wheel already so stick with them, you could colour code or paint the centers black as an option?

There's quite a bit a few of us mk3 owners could tell you to help out with mods etc so look out for the next meet ( if you are in akl) and come say hi.

I do miss my old VR every now and then, but cool to see another one back in the club! Post up more pics of interior etc as well. I'm not a big fan of the flag sticker on the paintwork, but that's just me...

Welcome again,
Ash
Just a wee pic to gee ya up!

Hey Ash, cheers for that bro. Yep, the stickers probably won't last much longer. I emailed autopassion about springs and they came back and said it's about $450 for set of lowering springs and they lower 40mm. Also I've read I'd need new shocks.
I gave her a big wash and polish over the weekend, didn't go clay bar cos I didn't have enough time to do a good job. Also cleaned the interior and vacuumed so she's looking pretty good. I'll attach a photo.
The other things I was looking into for the outside are Mk4 style lights like you have on page one of this thread. Whereabouts did you get them and how much did they cost? Was it worth changing them? Also where did you get the 3 bar grill and black logo?
Would defo come to a meet but I live in Dunners.

Two twighlight violets! Early and late model-

Wicked fellas! The crystal lights were bought off trade-me can't remember fom where, but do a search. It was a good upgrade, but ultimately wasn't the look I wanted to achieve. So it's up to your own preference really. I got the badgless 3 bar grill from member 80vert at a really good price. You can just black out the front emblem yourself on the standard grill as I did, as well as the rear hatch emblem quite easily.

94 VR6, 202,000kms, NZ New, manual, heated leather, tow bar, storm grey, sunroof. Runs really well but thrust bearing needs doing, which i'll do this week. Am starting to think it's too nice to break for parts?

Been there done that many times. Wrecking cars is a total pain in the ar$e and you end up spending your whole life dealing with trademe monkeys and posting stuff everywhere, and you end up with a massive pile of parts which don't sell but are too good to throw away. Keep it intact!

I would never wreck a warrantable car if I could avoid it unless it had something in it I really wanted for another car. Like if you were building a mk2 VR6 and this came up, it offers a cheap conversion kit, but if you're just wrecking to make money it's a total waste of time IMO.

New wheels went on today. Still have to hammer down the dustcaps at the back to get the centrecaps on though.

Light was fading, but quick pictures:

Hi
Not sure if this is going to work or not, but here is my GTi 16V, finally achieved the look i want now just need to concentrate on the suspension and a tasteful aftermarket exhust system. I have replaced all the interior speakers but kept everything original so you would never be the wiser and added a 10inch sub in the boot, purpose was to achive a clean sound not the ussual doof doof.
Cherrs.

Reclining Jamex seats. On the lookout for some recaros though. I have been offered some leather M&H seats, but the cars interior is cloth so probably won't match.

Are Jamex seats running on the factory rails? Do they sit low I always found the GTI Recaros quite high seating position even on the lowest setting.

Nah Ash I'm not going cloth!! Those Recaro's are being retrimmed in leather with your door cards! It's gotta be leather for sure!

Number 21 I have a full Mk3 leather interior that I'm selling - that's seats and door cards

GTI on BBS RXII rims, brand new tyres. New exhaust up to the down pipe. Plan to lower, some small engine mods, paint the wheels(hopefully a polished lip and gun metal grey centres)and tidy up the body.

i was there... i was also at the spring jamboree.... i came there in the afternoon. i want to lower the vento and maybe convert my golf to manual. also got a bit of work to do on the vento, spray the front bumper and boot lid. just gave them a coat of mat black bcoz it was peeling. i see you want to let go of your mk3.

The golf looks tidy, I used to have one in the same colour, it was a 94 so had the arch kit. Looks nice without them too. Haven't decided yet on my mk3, still love it to bits!!

Rims are 17"x 7.5" ET33 fronts & @ET22 rears
LM's do come up every now and then, it's just a case of keeping an eye out on TM. I had to refurb these quite a bit to get them to this stage.

Tyres are Kumho KU31s, 205/40 R17, very mild stretch and not so mild scrubbing (will sort out though).
Thanks! Yes, it's in QLD, the Vento was never brought to Australia with a VR6 and importing cars here is very very costly if it's post 80s, so.... I had to make my own Vento VR6 a pro mech did the hard stuff.
I do like the fat fives they're a nice shape closer up, even though they look a little SS commodore from a step back, likewise they weren't sold here.

Standard except for suspension from Ash, and Vr6 front lip from Damian and Omar.
Still have a faring to mount and some new wheels on the way soon (Richwalk ;))

Really want a manual, but will keep chipping away at this one until a nice manual one pops up.

Handling has improved heaps. Cornering is way better, feels like its on rails, but its not so stiff that it is undriveable.

Thanks Ash, I didn't think the lip would make much of a difference but it really does, as Nacnud says; "Makes the front look way tougher!"
Got a wheel alignment today which has made a big difference too.

Standard except for suspension from Ash, and Vr6 front lip from Damian and Omar.
Still have a faring to mount and some new wheels on the way soon (Richwalk ;))

Really want a manual, but will keep chipping away at this one until a nice manual one pops up.
Nice look sits cool, how many mm drop do u have all round.

Well, got my arse back into a Mk3 now. A black one too.  >:D Manual VR6 Vento with sunroof, my perfect Mk3. Needs a little work in some areas but to say I'm happy with it is an understatement. That noise... Worth the waste of gas alone.

Thanks guys, yeah will definitely turn up to a VASK meet, its a bit more interesting than a run of the mill Silver 5 door Mk3 GTI thats for sure.

Already replaced a few broken interior parts and the indicators as the clips were broken from when they got painted. Slowly but surely bringing it back up to 100%.

Thanks dropped by yours today but you weren't in, was wanting an opinion on the sunroof as the clips are broken. Been to Qualitat and they don't sell individual parts. Gong to try dubshack and euroline? Either way, the Mk3 fun starts..  :)

Coonsy had the same issue which got resolved quite easily, I have a spare sunroof but its also broken like his was.

Post by: coons on April 12, 2012, 10:43:26 PM
What 'clips' are you talking about? I have a spare sunroof which I pillaged for parts for mine, so I may have what you need
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: Skilfil on April 12, 2012, 10:51:03 PM
Gotta pull the sunroof out to check for sure, the previous owner said something about the sunroof clips. Basically one side of it can't hold itself up, pulled a Vanilla coke cap out of the space today which probably caused it. I'll get a decent look this weekend or tomorrow if I get bored.

Also worth noting, I'm clueless about sunroofs so will be a learning experience.

At least you are in the North Island, a little harder to find down here!

I've been lucky... always wanted a 2 door Mk3 VR6 with Fat Fives and Mk3 gti Recaros, and I've managed to find all three! fat fives probably being the most difficult to get hold of.

thanks, yea i imported the wheels and coils myself. The coils are fantastic, I cant believe how comfortable they are. I had a set of vmaxx in my old vr6 the difference is unbelievable! I had to get the tires brought in as well, there 195 40 16 toyo t1r. My next step is to do the exhaust, im not to sure what use though as in size and muffler, was thinking 2 1/2 through to a adrenaline r muffler? also got to sort out sounds just got factory at the moment with working cd stacker! ive also got a vento front end that  i mite swap over.

Yea i thought about it was going to go 9's all round but would of had to run 235's on them to pass cert and keep it legal, would only want to run 205's. Personal preferance but i prefer same size all round on fwd cars.

Sure have, but can't justify paying the ridiculous price of having my plates converted into euro plates.

And then am unsure about the germanplates.com ones.. would be ok for meets/shows though.

It is on the to do list!

The German plates.com ones are awesome, I highly recommend them. They are stamped at the factory that does all the genuine german plates.

They have the official little "water mark" in the reflective coating too. I recently bought a pair for my 190E along with a pair of Wurth locking frames and I can't say how pleased I am with them. You will not be disappointed.

I have been considering a later style one but I'd only do it if I had the newer oval shaped indicators on the guards. I think the whole square shape styling goes with the vento front.

Nah there are 3 styles, early (3 slat), mid (2 slat) and late (gay).

Something about dark cars doesn't do it for me anymore with the Vento front, I don't even like my GTI when I look at pictures. Maybe I'm just over it a bit?

Cabby's look bloody awesome with Vento front though, should have come factory like that

I know what you mean, been at a loss as to what I can do with mine. I'm not big on the golf front end on Ventos though. Looks strange, though I do like a black Vento I saw on VW Vortex with Joey mod lights & the 3 slat badgeless grill. Nice and clean.

Highlines are also all 5 door and have a cubby box thing incorporated into the handbrake. Not to mention the plastic trim gives this away as an early VR6 and the Highlines came out later. As someone else pointed out they only came in Black Magic Pearl and Mulberry Pearl colours with colour matched interiors and they have a different style VR6 badge with extra 'Highline' badging. I hope you didn't pay Highline money for it  :P

Post by: timewarrior on September 23, 2012, 09:04:52 PM
Pretty good for 1700 bucks. I sure hope in wasn't a typo and you meant to write 17000 haha. As far as I know there isn't such thing as 'Highline Spec' leather, except in the case of the Mulberry colour which only came in the Highlines. The heated leather is an option, mine has it as do a lot of other VR6s here.
Title: Re: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please

Title: Mk3 Owners - Your cars please
Post by: Poonmobile on September 23, 2012, 11:04:12 PM
A lot of 'highline 'spec' was classed as just having leather interior. But actual vr6 highlines were as mentioned only available in the 2 colours- I think in both 3 and 5 dr versions. They also had black a,b&c pillars as well as coloured leather in the mulberry only. No side skirts and painted trim same as the later models with no arch trim.

Yeah I know the ones you've got, very highly recommended on VWVortex. I'd like a pair but the front as it is scrapes on the down ramp in my car park for work. I'll keep it as it is until I've got myself another MX5 and use that as a daily. Then the VR6 can be as impractical as I want it to be.

Poon your car is an inspiration, I love that picture. Can't wait to get my Vento up to that standard.

Might as well get in on the page 69, my Mk3 sitting next to its little blue brother I picked up yesterday  :D

pulls realy well and will happily cruise at 80mph and had it doing 110mph. New injector nozzles and a chip will give me an extra 40hp+ and 100 ft lbs+

Had a play around today, I know I haven't changed much on my VR6 but I'm quite happy with how it looks. Most cars I've owned I've been on TM each week looking for a set of wheels but I think the ones on it just suit it.

Thanks,  thougt it could do with a bit of love. its been a great car. Spoiler needs to be painted, will do the bumper and bonnet too. Still undecided as to whether to paint the side trims or not and change to a jetta front

I guess you could say that seeing as ive bought another vr6

Anyways, that's the new edition to the fleet! Needs some work, but should be a good summer cruiser! Was hoping to have it ready for spring Jamboree but have had heaps on at work! Hopefully can get it sorted by 7th Dec to take it to the ECC Auckland meet.

Plans? Vento front, crystal taillights (got them so tinted are for sale), new softtop and wheels... not sure what yet... not much cool stuff round at the moment, and building on a budget! lol

I had some time to go through this entire thread for some inspiration and the amount of 3 door vr's on here is insane. The sad thing is that almost every single car in this thread has now had their registration cancelled or been written off around 9 years ago. The only ones with active rego's are Ash's and 1redvw's which is now up here in Auckland.

Saw this 3 door quite close to my house. Rego is TY8426. Rego cancelled last year
