daleyboyVR6 6 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 i think of it as more of a sociable club, i havent had to ask too many technical questions cos so far i havent had any probs, and your right it is, it started as primarily a golf vr6 site then they expanded it too all vr6's.................. :-p Link to post Share on other sites

daleyboyVR6 6 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Mmm may be an idea to get someone to follow you to see when its smoking, on hard acceleration then it'll be the rings, if its on lift off then more likely valve stem/guides/seals, if its all the time then b*llocks it'll be £££............do you know if its been looked after or did the person that sold it to you have a burberry cap?................ :-p Link to post Share on other sites

BigD 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 do you know hpw much that would cost ? and whats roughly involved as it did cross my mind, but it wont happen till next year now, so il just have to take shares in oil for a bit lol. Link to post Share on other sites

BigD 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 it does still drive, although its very lumpy, ive found a hole in my exhaust aswell now so need that fixing, just gota get myself a vr6 plug removal tool as its not like a simple car lol.edit; i found a tool in the standerd kit just have to wait for the thing to cool down now though.

BigD 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 small update, i checked all the plugs today and there were all black and looked rather old, so i got new ones from partco for 32 quid which seems a good price, and now it runs fine again pulls like it should and no dodgy idle or cutting out.

daleyboyVR6 6 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 mmm unusual colour that one matey.............................. :-p Link to post Share on other sites
TCCJ 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 it is indeed... i was actually looking for a gragon green storm with the ol cream leather interior... but damn they are hard to find... especially in good nic with low milage...the best one i found was in scotland! i was close to flying up there to get it but the guy sold it...i'm more than happy with what i got tho!

daleyboyVR6 6 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 tbh mate i think the storms are a bit overpriced bearing in mind you can buy a "normal" vr with leather anyway, as you say the condition and mileage are more important than a storm badge, and dare i say colour. Personally i wouldnt have chosen red but you can't have everything..........................im happy with mine as well................ :-p Link to post Share on other sites
