Golf III VR6...... will be FOR SALE early/mid March

MOT passed

not first time, needed rear drivers side caliper, rear drivers side handbrake cable & rear drivers side tyre

robbed a caliper off a Ibiza Cupra Sport that Matt's breaking, handbrake cable was £15 (ish) & stuck 2 near new Firestone's on back (£60 off eBay, 200 miles on them)

....

central locking has been playing up....... sometime wasn't locking at all

swapped the pump thingy in the boot & it's works first time now....... i wasn't expecting an easy fix

....

it looks like it's going to be at Mallory Park race circuit rather than York Raceway...... i'd prefer York to be honest

probably...... not keen on the setup of it to be honest, i'd prefer it at York

would be good to see the car in it sure it would get top 15

i'd hope to be one of the quickest FWD at least

......

had a look into what my new wheels are

there not ATS DTM.... there ATS DTC Competition wheels

& the should weigh 5.8kg each []

not bad for £67 off eBay []

I'm guessing it's all about the weight, rather than how they look then!

What do you think to the handling of the VR...? I would have thought it's world's away from the Polos...!

they should be quite a bit lighter than the BBS & Fox wheels i have........ brake cooling should be better too

OZ Ultraleggera's are even lighter than these ATS's....... around 1kg lighter

lot more weight in VR of cause, but handling isn't to different really

the design of the front suspension on mk3 Polo is rubbish..... if you enter a corner to quickly the camber on the wheel changes quite a bit & it understeers

VR understeers due to the weight been quite far ahead of the front axle, rather than the weight of the engine

8v GTI will handle better than a VR (i'd think) with them having the engine sat al the back of the bay

.....

going to check/replace the suspension bushes & get the suspension geometry done before i do a trackday with it

there's a day at Elvington on 14th of Feb....... may book that and cross my fingers that the weather will be OK

really cant wait to see how you get on at the next event defo think you should be one of the quickest there, always seems to be one of them jap turbo "bargains" that win it

i'll be putting this up FOR SALE in early to mid March

reason is....... too many car's

mk1 Golf Driver goes on the road in March........ Gold mk1 Golf trackday car needs to be done....... & i've also got an other project car that will be quicker than the VR (top secret at the mo, will appear mid March)

not sure what price the VR will be yet....... will still be pretty cheap

paint & dents on the drivers side doors will be done...... so will passenger side wing

may even paint the bonnet & spare tailgate

....

if anyone wants it "as is" or without the Hella twins/Red rears i'll do it cheaper & sell sooner

bear in mid tax runs out end of March & i can't tax it til 5th of March at the soonest
