    i know it's not an S car, but still VAG friendly.

    current spec :

    58k
    full VAG main dealer service
    every MOT and invoice
    weitec coilovers, eibach roll bars
    263 cams
    peloquin diff ( on order )

    despite what everyone says about vr6's being front heavy, with a few choice mods, it becomes a really nice car to drive hard. missing the turbo power of the RS2 but loving the VR6 again. hope you like.

        Just curious,

        are Mk3 VR6's not as much of a money pit as an S2 ?

        Regards.

          mine has run like a dream since i've owned it. only money spent on it is on upgrades, not fixing it. get all my cars serviced at least 2 times a year, sometimes 3. can't beat regular clean oil and filters. i always use genuine VAG parts on all service items.

              I had a Corrado VR6 some years ago, great car but I preferred the G60 model. Anyway, I'd say a VR6 is a fair bit less expensive to run than an S2. No turbo, two wheel drive ect.

                  I recon i swings the other way s2 lasts for a while!
                  vr6s are nice but in the long run. beat that wallet..
                  storms better than g60,

                            That's a lovely Mk3, my 1st VW was a 3 door Mk3. I've even found myself looking for another as a project from time to time.

                            More pics of both cars please?

                              won't let me upload any pics. report to admin last night. no reply yet. saying a token is missing or something???

                              at work at the moment. i can send to someone else if they wouldn't mind posting the pics up ?

                              it was driving me crazy last night. tried about 10 times to put them up. the original pics loaded no problem.
