badboyV6 4 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 all v6 mk4's over here had 24v heads - the UD didnt they had the 12V - feck knows why! Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I keep looking at some of the pictures and something doesn't seem right. I can't quite put my finger on it but something seems wrong. Everyone says they've seen the car thats clear to me.1. The pic with the 24 valve plastics on the engine seems funny.2. It looks like the printout has been altered 'Mint GTI' is not in dot matrix text.3. (and most importantly) I just don't see how the fuckin bonnet would close with the turbo sat on the back of it like that.I may just be being stupid but after Simons little ordeal with the 'Americans' and I know if someone is handy with Photoshop how amazing you can make things look anything could be possible!I could be completely wrong %-6 Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 That printout has been altered either to state that was him on the right lane or because its fake. how ever the car isnt fake, agreed the plastic engine cover looks funny perhaps why hes taken it off?

Seademon 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Agree with most of Jays points & also if there was a plastic cover over that huuuuuuuge turbo - wouldnt it melt just like that with the heat?People seem to know the bloke so maybe it really is just a cool VR6 which really does have a massive turbo!

jaysVR6 2 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Mark, I'm sure the mods were done after the shot with the plastics on as they must have been removed for all the new inlet and fueling, but the turbo just doesn't look right??!!I have looked at John Chantry's MK2 R32 in some detail and his inlet manifold used to hit the bonnet! He would never be able to fit a turbo on the back of the engine thats that big!!! Link to post Share on other sites
