    Standard VR6 wll start about 1340kg, I got mine down 985kg, with two front seats and a full 10 point roll cage put in it. There is plenty you can strip out. Interior: remove every piece of plastic you can see. Electric window mechs change for manuals, have a set for sale as it happens. Change windows for polycarb ones, have a set a for sale as it happens. Seats and rails are really heavy, lose those, replace with alloy mounts and lightweight seats. Remove sunroof and mechanism, replace with polycarb panel, have one for sale as it happens. Remove all carpet and spare wheel as already mentioned

    If the plug gap doesnt cure it try changing the coilpack for a known working one. My misfiring problems were down to the leads or the coilpack everytime.

    Owned my VR6 for 10 years, RIP, in that time turned it into a track toy and was still my daily driver. The 3 best mods I made were the VF engineering supercharger, coilovers and anti-roll bars. I had the stage 1 type supercharger kit with an additional intercooler all of which I fitted myself, took about 12 hours over a weekend was pretty straight forward. It made about 265bhp after the rolling road map and the car weighed 950kg so was quite quick. I would recommend a stage 2 if you go the supercharger route to get you over your 300bhp mark. Coilovers I used were KW variant 2's which were sim

    If your seeing just over 12V across the battery terminals it sounds low. Healthy fully charged battery can sit between 13 and 14V. Best way to check a battery if all you have is a multimeter is get someone to turn the ignition while your taking the voltage measurement and check it doesn't dip too low, voltage should stay around 12V. If your looking for a cheap set of leads, I have a complete set I can sell you, always useful for spares. I just stripped them off my car which I scrapped. About 18 months old work perfectly, £20 delivered to you?

    Only use hubcentric spacers! They are totally safe unlike the universal type sold on eBay. Universal spacers are just a flat plate, you'll get wheel wobble as your wheel is not located centrally on the hub. Hubcentric spacers are the correct way to do it, the wheels will be located correctly and your hub takes the load.

    Looking good fella, reminds me of my VR6 track toy in its glory days....had it scrapped yesterday, RIP. If you want any parts for track I have loads for sale, polycarbonate windows (very lightweight)? fixed polycarbonate sunroof? H&R antiroll bars (the 2nd best handling mod I made next to coilovers)? carbon bonnet? Also have a bespoke heater blower which is really tiny and lightweight, you can remove your entire blower/aircon system saves loads of weight. In total I removed over 400kg with all the changes and mods I did.

    I had £350 koni's on my VR which lasted for just over 2 years. Put KW variant 2's on after that after having many recommendations about them. Ran on them for 6 years. Did thousands of miles and over 200 laps of the ring. They never gave me a problem. Took them off 3 months ago when I sold them to my mate and they cleaned up amazingly well. You get what you pay for with coilovers.

    Hi, I want to fit a useful rear spoiler to my vr6 track car. I have seen an adjustable one on a mk3 golf at the ring this year, it had 4 different downforce settings on the aluminium sides, but didnt get a chance to ask the german owner. Does anyone know the manufacturer of these spoilers? or who might sell them in uk or abroad? Thanks Ross

    Im contemplating buying a raceland manifold and wrapping it, does anyone know what the difference in weight is between a raceland manifold and the standard golf one?

    Taking everything out of the car will be quite easy, i only have 2 seats and a third of a dash left inside :-d The patience thing might be a problem, i'll get the big mallets out and expect a lot of swearing!

    Im about to order a weld-in rollcage from custom cages, and will be attempting to fit it with my welding expert friend. Neither of us has any experience what-so-ever in fitting roll cages but were both engineers...how difficult can it be? Has anyone fitted a roll cage before or have any handy tips on fitting them? Is a weld-in type more or less difficult than a bolt in type?

    You may well have done, i was there in september in my black mk3. Gary from northloop has a 205 pug there, covered in stickers (the biggest nurburgring sticker ever covers the rear), if thats the same Gary hes preparing an old BMW for this year. If you see cars with northloop.co.uk stickers on cars introduce yourselves as theyre all very approachable, and quite a few have golfs

    I'll be at the ring from 5th to the 10th april with some friends and members from northloop.co.uk. Be great to meet you all and check out your vrs
