    Good work so far! I passed up on a Mulberry highline a few years ago when I got my first vr6, I have always kicked myself ever since. A Salsa Green Colour Concept and a GTI Anniversary are also on the list

    I fully agree dude, I feel exactly the same My VR6 won't be anything special on the paint side, just a fun car for my own personal enjoyment! My MK3 Cab on the other hand will be a completely different story. I look forward to see how you get on with this, A budget (ish) turbo build is right up my street!

    Nice yeah that's kinda the deal with me, I'm a painter so all bodywork issues are never a problem, and I'm teaching myself mechanics as I need/want stuff done to my own cars as long as keeping the original inlet isn't too much of a hindrance then I'll do the same!
  8. DanChave
    Around the same to be honest! I definitely can't be arsed to change the loom, not after I have just done the conversion lol I take it you don't need a short runner inlet for what you are aiming for? Any idea if you need to uprate the injectors for what you are aiming for?

    Lovely car mate, good work so far!

    What's the reasoning behind converting to OBD2, just for the extra base power from the manifold and throttle body from the OBD1's 172 bhp to the 183 bhp the OBD2 gives you? Will you have to run an aftermarket ecu or can you map the standard ecu?
  11. DanChave
    Great work on this, same colour as my first VR. Wish I had never sold that thing!
  12. DanChave
    I had my eye on a set of Morrette's on a 99p start none reserve with no bids, but the guy pulled the aution before the end of the listing! Yeah, no more parts for mine unless proper bargins pop up
  13. DanChave
    Great work on this bud! Keep it up does Besters make and sell short shift kits? I'm new to the forum, but a short shifter is definitely on the list!
  14. DanChave
    This will be awesome when you have finished dude, I look forward to seeing the progress
  15. DanChave
    When doing a turbo conversion, do you have to change to forged con rods and pistons, change crank etc or just head spacer, exhaust mani and strap the turbo on? If I did go this route I wouldn't be looking for silly power, just a kick in the VR's pants lol!
  16. DanChave
    I love this colour on early VR's, looking good man!
  17. DanChave
    Looking good mate, lovely colour this is
  18. DanChave
    Very cool mate, I'd love a mk2 VR at some point and Oak Green is a classic colour, especially when its nice and fresh
  19. DanChave
    Good work so far dude! Everyone on here building VRT's ain't helping my build stay cheap and cheerful lol!
  20. DanChave
    Always the way now the VR is nearly on the road, I have to stop myself from buying more parts for it, as everything's supposed to be being spent on the Cab lol!
  21. DanChave
    The wings off the donor got sold off :)they must have been replaced at some point, because the rest of the car is rotten as a pear lol!
  22. DanChave
    Can't really see the mk3 putting up much of a fight to be honest lol!
  23. DanChave
    This things lovely man, I'm jealous of your RS's and all reds big time!
  24. DanChave
    My GTI 16v turned OBD1 VR6
  25. DanChave
