Netgeezer 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi all,I'll be buying my cheap cheap Golf VR6 (about a grand) in the next few days and already I have a few things planned...If you had just bought a cheap VR6 what would be the first mod you do? Chip? Wheels? Sort out bodywork? I.C.E?I plan to check the engine thoroughly over first and service whatever needs doing... Including guide rails if necessary.Also I'll plug in my VAG-COM when I go to see it tomorrow and check it out after a hot run. Just a quick question - where is the diag port? Is it in the same place as my Mk4...?Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 first thing i would do, is sort out the ride height. If its stock, then the wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
Netgeezer 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 lol, you mean - 'if it aint rubbin you aint dubbin' My mk4 gti is lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs and dampers by 45mm. It's a firm but comfortable ride, very little if any rubbing really.What do you suggest? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If it's an OBD2 the port should be under the plate next to the ashtray.Sort ride height out, remap, careful with the off the shelf chips though...Pete Link to post Share on other sites
golfgirlvr6 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would like most people have said is sort out handling and rubber as you need it to stick to the road with the power it has!lol if its an OBD1 the port is in the same place as an OBD2! If your on a budget, then GSF do a full lowering kit ie shocks and springs for £185 ex vat, i had it on my GTI and it was a very good set up! Link to post Share on other sites
