Yes sachs are very good.. from memory very expensive too.. more than Bilstein or Koni
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:

See if you cant get that jap plate holder out from under your plate, makes it look much better :)
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.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I did the above to avoid drilling any new holes in the car...

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..

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......

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.
Holy cr@p, I thought I was the only idiot that couldn't stand stuff like that and had to sort it ;D
But it looks clean and there's none of that tinny plate rattle when ya shut the hatch ;)
the sound ya usually hear when a nearby car has bass, the rear plate buzzin and rattlin
Who drives the red Corrado with the plate 'Corado'?

There was a black Corrado on the North Shore for sale a few years back, I think it went down to the South Island.

well done mate, now to have some fun with it >:D >:D
good to hear bru... if you have a spare coil, let me know.
Quote from: bsting on May 06, 2007, 02:32:14 PM
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...
updated pics of my ride!
Vw Golf Cli 1998

Whats the Vw scene like in the USA, I know there are a few forums and a few aftermarket parts places, but whats the % of vw on the streets, and also can you suggest any good places for buying stuff for euro's as NZ is crap for aftermarket bits.
VW are very common and im not sure about any good places for parts

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:

hey
very nice gti.I wanted to buy a couple of years ago but didnt do it because of the price and the mileage. It was a girls selling it and the mileage was close to 200k.Whats the mileage now? And why didnt u get it with the 17"? She wanted 9g when I wanted to buy it.how much did u pay 4 it? Its a great car
Andrew
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.
Welcome to the forum, the car looks cool (a lot better than when you bought it).Any chance of an interior shot as i'm thinking about Recaros for mine.
PS Nice lights

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.
Awesome
i'll have to get some interior shots soon, and i got a new badgeless grill on the way ;D

Yep, standard, I've never seen it on any others either
Nice one..
Never seen the cream interior on a VR6 either.. only in a MK3 Cab
Is it difficult to keep clean ?
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 gave mine a good cleaning. Wash/Wax. It looks good now on the outside. I think it can do with an interior cleaning on the dash and stuff.
my updated pics some more cosmetic work to com
added some tints ,clearheadlights,fogged indicator seat covers wheels probly next on the list
:D
Love those healights...

Welcome to the forum vwaza, got any other plans for the Gti
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.
Really! Thanks for the advise, I will do so ASAP.

Nah - it'll give you more torque...everyone knows that a badgeless car is good for an extra 50nm
also slap on vinyls of all the brands that were used on the car... that adds like 3-7kw per vinyl. depending on brand of course

Thought id put in an update of mine since it now has new wheels and adjustables
why not go lower :-\
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
looks nice mate, are u working towards taking it too shows or just making it look nice ;D
just a nice ride

reason for buying this was i wanted a nice and cumfy daily car i can drive every day without having the old car hassles,also feel good about carying people around. :laugh: ooooh yea and heaters ::)
but mk2 will still be my long term love.

Are they 17's? They look like they have a little bit of dish already? I would keep them, they really look the part.
yea 17's, nah they dont really have to much of a lip.yea they look good on the car but im going for a differn look on the car.but itll still look good
If I had seen it on TM before I bought mine I would have bought it, Black VR6's are the dogs b's!!
Keep it that way it's a gem!
haha yea lucky i got it actually haha i put a 100 buck deposit on it and as i was walking out a guy turnd up with the cash for the car in his hand haha
That's a nice VR6 dude, I also think the wheels look primo. I remember when it was for sale someone said it looked like a mini R32 8)
What type/make of wheel are they?
Oh is it that one? (the mini R32 haha)
I think someone said they were BBS wheels?
yea they 17" bbs sumthings haha wish i could say i was the guy who put them on but they were on the car when i brought it
Quotesomeone said it looked like a mini R32

I recall seeing that on the interfugelhorn before too...
I recognise the ABT front end.

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.
some hopeful future mods include upgrading suspension, a decent stereo, and quite possibly some exterior visual enhancing :)
Cool, another Vento. Not many of them on here.

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.

Member DOHC VR6. He did the manual conversion. It was only a year or so ago that he owned it....
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?
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.
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
Well i finally got round to taking some pictures of my golf.
Its about as stock as it could possibly be, but as always I have plans.
A drop and some widened steels wouldn't be too bad.
Ignore the point and shoot pictures, ive lost my tripod baseplate :'(
On with the pics

update, now sold and the new owner has switched it to 15" BBSs
you might see it around Sandringham
Thought I should post up a pic of the VR6. Its my first car.
Its pretty standard, has been lowered 40mm and has 17 inch wheels and a k&n but thats it. Auto currently but deedubs 2 door deregistered VR6 might turn this into a manual conversion project...
:o Thats nice and Tidy lookin ;)

Yup. Don't hve any full profile pics tho.
good stance i think.....NICE one! 8)
cheers... and its the same colour as yours I think? :D
Yea man nice car, just get some german plates and some vask stickers and your sorted ;)

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.

Saw that car on TradeMe, must have been a year ago. I was looking at buying it as a parts car :P
Nothing wrong with the ABF, more the rest of the car lol. But if you have the money, there are a range of conversions you could do
imo mk3 golf doesnt do abf justice! :-X
Looks like a nice tidy car ripe for modifying. ;)

Yeah, I've always liked the mk3... mk1 and 2 golfs are cooler though. But the mk3 is a better everyday car because it is a bit more modern! :D
the mk3 for me is like beautiful Vulgarity....its odd but you keep looking :P

Looks good Ash. Do you enjoy the suspension kit?
Thanks nick, to be honest I haven't really pushed it. But it is a bit firmer and the ride height is more to my liking. Off to tauranga this weekend so will give it a good run >:D

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).

headliner looks tops! i wana put a black headliner in mine.
me too - lets practice on yours anglia4! ;D
Some of the VW guys in the UK get really carried away with their headliners. Polka dots and flowers and graffiti and angels and all sorts!
LCD Tv makes the best headliner - saw it once on Pimp My Dunger.
just trying to remember how much the fabric cost when i did the mustang... does anybody know what that fabric is worth?

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.
that looks awsome! are you on vw watercooled au?
Yeah mate, on VWW. Discovered VASK through bsting on the forums :)

Yeah those are rallye lights from the rallye edition golfs the hamologation versions for the rally back in the late 80's if i remember rite....
they are also ferrari f40 lights.
so they are extremely pricey.

Hot lights, not to sure about the cheap grills. Love to see a side angle
got the headlamps out at euroline they hooked me up. yea its got steelies all round not sure if i want to put something else on it, was thinking of getting them widened. the grille doese look a lil funny at the moment as i'm still doing things to it. going to bring the nose of the bonnet down to meet the grille to close the gap up it has so thats a still to come. another addition will be a full smoked set of indicators, reflector and driving lamps. slowly getting there haha. but please more comments both positive and neg. it all helps
maybe start a new thread? And keep this one for everyone else's MK3's

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. JUst thought I'd check out the NZ side of VW, you guys get some wicked dubs we missed out on, and it's much harder to import stuff here.
That's looking pretty cool man. Can I ask about the holes in the bumper where the spotlight/reflector are meant to be? You see a few cars with holes there, I don't get it..
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.

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
Hi
I'm a new member, here's a few pics of my '95 Golf with a few minor changes
Cheers
Clean and simple...verry nice mate! ;D

Nice car
The previous owner is on here too, she has a Jazz Blue GTi now
thanks, needs a few things though. ripped out my head lining a year ago, still trying to find another one.
have to thank previous owner for selling me a really clean car.
Amazing how good a Mk3 can look with a few neat adjustments, I'd say that thats one of the neatest ones on this site. Great work
wow thanks man. certainly did not expect this kind of response.
dont think u need to go too far to make these cars look good. i like
clean and simple.
Hi, I am a new member and new to the VW game after selling my E30 BMW this is what i bought. Had been looking for a good example of a manual 3dr VR6 for a while. Very happy with my choice, I have already bought a set of Borbet wheels 16x7.5 just need some rubber and coilovers to slam it!
looks very neat, picks of the engine?
Yup
That is how any engine bay should look. I am a ex BMW man and can say you got a good score converting to VW at least they are both made by the Gearmans? What kms is on the clock?

New 16v Daily driver, has bilstens, Cox strut brace, exhaust. Really tidy and super impressed with how the motor runs! A few small things to do like window regulator etc. Really enjoying driving!

I got it for a great price, hence why I bought it - I wasn't even looking for a second car but thought I might as well. Rado has done 235k now so be good to bring it out on weekends only!
very good score mate!

Hi
I'm a new member, here's a few pics of my '95 Golf with a few minor changes

Hey dude, this was my first car! Glad to see she's still looking awesome! :)

More photos later. The purple one is my old 97 4 dr, the red one is my new one... 97 NZ new 2 door manual with RS4 wheels. Some of you may have seen it on trademe.
hey yea i remember seeing that on trademe it has some aftermarket seats in it as well? Do you have ant plans for it?
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

I suppose the VR6 was marketed as the Gti-VR6 in some markets... even though obviously not in NZ.
Yeah just seems a bit of a waste, really I just want it for myself :P

Yes, although $299 for an upgrade is a bit steep. Plus i have to wait to receive ownership for the plate ::)
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.

If you can't get a fresh one Andy just go for the older reconditioned ones. They usually take the thrashings better anyway.

put some 10mm spacers on the rear
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 :-\
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!
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

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!
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.

Congrats ...shes a Beaut
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...

I love the sago pudding @ love you longtime :D
Seriously! If you haven't tried it, You haven't lived!
feck the cars!
Thanks B, your next Sago pudd is on me! ;)
:o Thats one hell of an accident, any idea why the tyre blew out? Hearing this makes you think twice about doing silly speeds for fun..
Most of all Ash is what on earth was that size ditch doing there! Madness mate. Glad you ok from all that, airbag didnt go off? ???
Love the red 3dr VR6. When you pulled up in that at the last meet I was like yea buoy 8) 8)
Go for the black OZ's IMO you already got that balck and red theme going on and the wheels in black would set it off and add to an aggressive look ;) >:D
Bringing it down to Jambo?
I vote black for the OZ wheels as well.
Sorry about the old VR, but hey, now you've got a 2 door and it looks awesome.
sorry to see the crash bro glad you came out unharmed and with a sick new ride

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.
Good to hear your ok, sad to see her gone

Glad to see my old VR Ash, I am missing it badly, such a fun car >:(, you are really looking after it, it looks even cleaner and shinier than when I had it, have you polished it? nice mods that you have planned too.
Sorry to see your old one though, bit of a mess, but just glad you came out of it safely.

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 :)
Mmm, yep that's what I miss >:D
Thanks Matt, just went thru with claybar, and a good wax. Paint is in pretty good nick, so not that much work required ;) something about the sound of that engine that totally makes up for some of its faults ;D

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.
Looks great! 8)

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.
looks great as is Chris.

For the record I was not talking about you Chris! You must have done a great job looking after it, I honestly can't believe how tidy the car is overall, needs attention here and there of course but what 13year old car wouldn't? I'm probably just being fussy though.. :D

God damn the rubbing tho, coilovers and rolling arches may have to be on the cards....
that looks great!! bronze and red= 8)
Nothing tops the RS though Ash :P that looked hot!
Just gave mine a good clean, and re-rolled the guards after spacing the rear wheels 10mm. Now sitting basically flush front and rear 8)

Looking good coons and ash! I was looking at those wheels on ty's car on TM last night and thinking to myself "those would be mean on a red VR6" :o
The cups look dope on your car Ash! Love the dark rims on the red, it works well.
Cooney show us some close ups of the stance!
might get you to give me a few tips on how to roll gaurds sam! Looking mean- I did think you would go Loah tho 8) >:D
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
@ Tristan - I will get pictures of the stance one I perfect the stance!

This is true...
Oooooh you boys are getting me excited - Mk3s stepping the game UP! 8)
Poon those rims look awesome (but I would say that ;D), Coons and Ballin - keep up the good work! When everyone's done we'll have to gather for a stance off against Omes.
Can't wait for my next shipment - I'm finally going to chuck some rimz on the wagon and that shiz'll be the shiz! Hahahhaa >:D (If I do say so myself)

What are you thinking? Or is it a secret??
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)

Update: Red pin stripe, coilovers and black gti rims.
As my car sits now... :)
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
Now sitting lowered on H&R coilovers

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....?
For Nationals though, I will slam it just for the occasion ;D
we have GOT to do this MK3 shoot! that looks awesome! You'll need to take me out for a spin on those H&R's too. Gotta sort my sh#t out

Camber shims bro 8) A couple of the die-hard VW dudes out in the states do them, custom made and ship em out to whoever needs them for a small fee. Look up James Ford's MK3 GTi on PVW in the UK / F6Squared blog too 8) He's done it out back and now recently up front.

Ill show you on my new mk4 rolling on 19's
That's where I want to head with my front end, factory probably with a debadged, and all smoked - who wants mine?? :P
My car actually seems to have those 'oval' bolts, like the ones made by H&R. Which depending which way you bolt them up and give more or less camber
i got 2 generic sets of camber bolts for about $40 each on trade me and give me up to 4 degrees camber easy to install but you will need an alignment.
i expect vert will be able to whip up some shims without the hassle of sending away.

Very nice photo Andrew. ;D
Looking nice on those rims mate 8)
Nice to see a late model two door without the arch extensions
I am sadly missing my VR looking at these pics :(
Cheers guys. Its running a bit better after the long trip too.
Its going to look better with the new wheels! And after a good clean and polish. Hasn't been cleaned since the earthquake. :o
nice picture. just wanting to ask what kind of wheels are on the VR?
Those are B5 RS4 reps with VW centre caps.
I've got fat fives which are about to go on.
Awesome Andrew! Dare i say Moaaar! Can't wait to see the 5's on! Hurry up and clean the old girl AND get those wheels on! The splinter MK3 club are waiting ;)
P.s you should def head to the nationals next year too!
Very keen for nats 8)
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.
red and black = natures warning colours
Red and Black = Bowss 8)
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.
Hard to see anything in that pic, but welcome!
Yo, tried to upload a different photo but it says upload folder full, contact admin.

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!

Car looks sweet Declan, loving the cage! Where did you score that from?
Looking MINT Declan!
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.
I miss my old twilight violet with red badges.... :'(
I still see it driving around sometimes. The ride height was perfect.
A funny thing happened to me yesterday...... i had just lowered my car and i went to countdown in westgate and some put a vask sticker on my car saying i had been spotted and i should join vask.... i wanted to know where can i get a vask sticker from so they know i'm a member?
My new ride height.....

PM anglebox. he did the latest run. may be some left?
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?

Too nice to break man. Thrust bearing isn't hard to fix either!
Anyone got a R/R arch trim? Someone buy it off me but just give the money straight to 80Vert so I can't spend it ;D
I have one but just wreck it mate, its just a poxy mk3 VR6 >:D

Probably wouldn't get much more $ in parts though? And would have to do all the work and have it sitting on the lawn for a month or two..

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.
too nice to wreck!
Don't wreck it, as much as I'd love that roof!
you wont have any trouble selling a vr6 manual and that colour/spec is a winner! tidy it up sell it cheap and still make cash.
Defo worth fixing!
Just wreck the mirrors ;)
This is my car i bought Thursday...lastweek

Your right too good to break, fix her up and sell on, i also agree that breaking a car is not only hard work but dealing with people who want to pay nothing for parts too

Light was fading, but quick pictures:

Wheels need a bit of a clean again. Happy with the look, but needs the euro lip back on and lower to really pull it off.
Looks primo Number21! The fat fives really work with the late model colour coded bumpers. I agree dropping it some more would tie it all together 8)
WOW, they look great! Really pops on the red.
im confused? thats at deedubs house? you guyz live together? saw the car last night with the last wheels on and i love it! even better with the fat fives now

Sweet, how hany red MK3's are on this site? And how many Purple ones are here?
Thanks for all the comments guys... I'll polish the car and wheels and get some proper photos.
I have a fair bit of moisture in the headlights... so might have to split them and joey them :P

8) lookin good there Mr. Poon lol, LOWER I SAY.
Lol most def Declan! Post up a shot of yours, I'm running vmaxx too so need to know how low I can go ;)
Lookin good! I like your ride height. It looks great but is still practical.
Practical is for the audi ;) still getting use to this ride height, seem to be scraping lip everywhere- I thought I was good at angles... Might have to duck bill it for a little while
Ash keeps the cool in impracticool!
Looks the same Ash :P
Haha nah looks good, but could go a bit lower! Did you go yellow fogs too or is that just the lighting effects?
wow that car has me all hot under the collar for a mk3 >:D
Chops, mk3 is where it's at!
Scored some genuine yellow fogs, just playing around With the look really. And yes it kinda does look the same (height wise) but just so subtly different! Will try hitting it lower this week perhaps

All in good time, Ash.

Hi, I have posted several picks of my MK3 as time as has passed on. As m my car has changed many times, I only post It in " What did you do to your VAG today?" Feel free to see her from the day I purchased her to the many rims and toys i have placed on her.
I went for a ride in Poon2 last night - what a car! That thing pulls like a freight train :o

Speaking of the Poon, just stumbled upon that photo of Poonies twin again

;D Yep, lower at the front! Lower all round preferably, but the front is actually higher than the rear, particularly when the boot is full of stuff.
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!

I have 3 door leather door cards too. Will part with them for the right price.

Just me and Ash shooting Dale. Viktro on here does professional shoots though
Man your car is so nice to photograph Ash, you can really make it pop. Black sucks big time :(
Thats why you should paint the new car YELLOW! ;D
How did I know you were going to reply that!!! hahaha
I've got to say a yellow Mk3 lined up next to Ash's red Mk3 would be pretty tasty
a friend of mine works as a professional photographer and is happy to come and take photos of our cars, would just have to arrange a time/place.

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 think your car would look good with black door mirrors. Just an idea.
Here are finally some photo's of my car. Thought it was a good time as I'd just polished it (1st time since owning!) and the sun had decided to show itself ;D

Nice, what are your plans for both of them? I think we saw you at 'Stance off' last year?
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!!
Was saying to Ash today that you have done exactly what I want to do my 97 Vr6, Even had some wheels lined up and everything. ;D
Looks killer man!
Thought about doing a nose swap?
hey man
i have thought about it but i like the golf front... maybe at a later stage i will try it. but i must also get a debadged grill for the vento.
lol 3 years after i did the vento front on mine and now it takes off ....lol.....good look but respect the Golf front too though
What colour is the Vento? Looks kinda purple?
Had some time off this evening and got around to taking a few new pics pre SO2012

Hi man, poonmoble what is the size of the rim. They look good.
Would you no of a set ,I been looking but cannot find.
Thanks...
mint photos Ash. Are they hella quad headlights? Or the morettes?
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.
What rims are you running in that avatar?
Hey Brook, yes hell quads
Looking killer Ash, the photos dont do it justice.

Those cups would look epic on the blue brick :)
I reckon they look awesome on the red Mk3! Works well with the colour.
Last time I posted my car was a maroon VR6 5 door...so here's the update.
(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk22%2Fjoevr6%2FVento-1.jpg&hash=e5c8cc41905f90fbf5f86c9f20d7dcf93897fbbc)
Looks great! What are your tyre specs?
Awesome! Another car with fat fives... although I see it is in Australia.
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.

Is that a dent on the black one? ;D
This is gonna pale in comparison to Ash and Omar's amazing Mk3s :-[.
But here is my 97 Vr6 daily runner...

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.
looking good man. Hows the handling now that you lowered it?
Looking good Bax! Looks mint with the VR6 lip too- score! More MK3's i reckon!!
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.
Teaser Ash? You mean showing off :P

7. LED interior lights
8. New hood lining (Aaaargh!)
9. Pod Filter air intake
10. Trans oil cooler
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.

Rad! Hope to see her at a view of the Vask events in the future
Awesome, Love Vento's
Nice! Glad some one got this!
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%.

Awesome, Love Vento's
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.
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
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.
nice to see another vento!
Don't worry I was pretty clueless too, now I'm an expert lol
Ahhh, finally running a factory interior. And in doing so replaced the broken rear seats!

i need a set in my life................
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.

Looks great!
Hey I had a think about roof racks and I'll probably keep them until I don't have a mk3, I might need them for this ski season.
All good dude, if you change your mind let me know. Pretty keen on a set for the snow season! Don't want any boards inside on my new interior 8)
I have a set of snow board attachments for the thule racks if either of you are keen?
I have some sittin gin the garage, not sure if they fit 404's or not?! Need to source the racks first :P

Much better now, has BBS factory rims on it and also appropriate tyre profile (205/50/15 instead of 205/55/15 from before). And a little lower as a result, lunched the lip out of my brothers workshop first go. Doh..

Pornstar!!
so keen on a GTI mk4 steering wheel.. and the thule's for snowboarding haha
Those seats look great, same place that did coons?
Brook, have you thought of some Europlates?
Get a Mk3.5 cabby wheel Brook, same as what I used to have. Or a Polo/Lupo wheel like Ash has, that would prob be cheaper too

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!
Also, who did your seats? Same people as Sams?
Looking good Brook!
Yeah I do like ash's wheel! I thought his was a mk4 gti one..
Na master trim in Hamilton did them. They should like even more ace after a little sun!

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 true Chris is right, pity you didn't go 9's in the rear, would of really set it off. I was looking at it thinking something doesn't look right in the rear but couldn't figure it out.
Still looks good though, a million time better than stock eh!

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.

Something about a 4door golf with a Vento front that just gets me going........it just works so good........I miss my old Jolf....lol
i'd love to custom make a badgeless early grill. Anyone have a spare early grill :P haha probably no chance.
I've noticed everyone has the earlier style Vento grille... maybe someone should go with a later one 'to be different' ?

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.
coons has the later one? Dean- yeah bro most likely aye and a bra
2dr Golfs need Golf fronts
4dr Golfs need Jetta fronts...
It's just sets the off......but it's my opinion....I did have a 4dr Jetta Golf.....lol
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.

Those wheels on the car aren't BBS RS's.
they are rs 722 stamped on them ,they must be faked then
I thought highlines only came in Diamond black pearl or purple violet pearl?
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
Right i have been found out by the vr6 police,ihave just bought a vr6 with the optionalhighline spec leather and fake bbs alloys which i paid 1700nz dollars sounds like i,ve bought a right shed
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.
Just might be "colour concept" leather
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.
I think it is in need of a deep lip VR6 spoiler >:D

Hit me up bro, I have them for sale... ;)
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.
Got a GTI last week
Not factory alloys I assume but I quite like them
Nice, and welcome! whats the goss on the W8? Love those things...
Cheers
LOVE the W8!
Had it just over a year now. Has been very well behaved so far. Lots of doomsday stories out there about them but good and regular maintenance seems to do the trick.

Now own a mk3 :-X Perfect spec, 3door, no abs, no ac, no sunroof, manual windows and its a 1.9tdi with an intercooler and 02a box, goes realy well and cant complain at the price I paid, just needs a chip and bigger nozzles

Hi all, my name's Tyler also from Hamilton...
Here's my golf, I haven't done anything to it yet except for break the rear wiper off ::) and I know the wheels are huge, po put them on. Just waiting to pick up my roof racks and put my bike carrier on.

Also can anyone tell me where I could get some boiled linseed oil to freshen up the trim?
Welcome Tyler, digging the colour, looks pretty tidy. Is it a 16v or a mighty VR6?
Just a quick pic all mounted up with BMX!

Hey guys,
Thought id post up a couple pics since i finished my mk3. Looks a little different to the last photo i posted when it was silver :laugh:
Pretty stoked with how the harlequin rep turned out! something different atleast!
Got told about this a few days ago, very cool.
Pretty cool, I recall seeeing a few of these in the UK back in the mid 90's. Did you paint it or wrap it?
Its vinyl wrapped, and painted bumpers. Was my first time wrapping a car and the bumpers were a little too hard haha

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
Finally joined the mk3 family. Bought a vr6 for my partner to cruise around in daily. Rather bad photos but ya get the idea. Bit hard when its always dark when im not working.

Man, not much happening on the mk3 front!
I think I've been bitten by the VW bug! Had 2 mk2s, Brought wifey a mk3 cabby for her birthday for summer and onto a mk4 bora too! (temp daily)
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
