VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 yes, its a 2.9 low comp engine... wossner pistons. down side is that they cost over 850 quid alone! as i say, low end is a little flatter, but i have lots of other bits to compensate that currently, was waiting for the charger, but luck wasnt on my side. just look at my hllf lap of the nurbrugring video, the start is the most interesting bit as it flies past the other vr's even craggsys which is schricked too.had the 3.6 final drive and quaiffe lsd to help things along too Link to post Share on other sites
