cars looking really nice mate, look forward to seeingthe merc wheels on, should look pretty sweet

 

[Altech]

Really like what your doing to it mate. Looks like a beast now!!

My cousins one was mint until he let his mate drive it!! lets just say it ain't going nowhere fast.
He might be breaking it himself if he can't fix it. I think he got it supercharged aswell.

Let me know if he does i may be interested in a few bits.

 

[Altech]

will do mate, i think he'll know by next week if it can be fixed. Saying that, its been sitting on his drive for nearly 2 months!
I don't see him much but from what i can remember the car was pretty much sorted..performance and styling

 

[C3 LJG]

Not done a great deal with the vr recently managed to get a strut brace of ebay fairly cheap,

Going to get the ends powdercoated black when i have a chance to get down to the powdercoaters, and secure it with some chrome/stainless bolts.

Also got a shiney new alloy cover for my oil cap for my b'day!

A couple of recent pics

Also I've seen you merc alloys for sale,,, I don't know why you decided for that but you've done the right thing mate

 

[C3 LJG]

They would look sweet on the car but not really got the money to get them on at the moment. did find another set of rims that i wanted but they have gone now so missed out on them!!

 

[Czechboy]

Shame about the Merc wheels, I personally though it would look very interesting.

If you want to go for something a little different and euro then how about a set of banded steelies?? Maybe not very bling but very phat

I can do a photochop for you if I get some spare time

 

[C3 LJG]

Banded steels can look cool, but not sure they would work with the votex kit.

I really want 17's with a bit of shiney metal somewhere on them!

 

[cupraolli]

love it. like all the engine tart up bits. id like some of them tanks to go in mine.
you going to do any smoothing on this one?

 

[C3 LJG]

At some point i want the fogs/indicators/number plate recess smoothed out the front bumper, rear badge wiper hole and the plate recess plated but be a whilt before that happens!

Also want a big phat supercharger bolted to the side of it!!!

 

[basstard]

oooooooooooh VR6 + supercharger = boooooom! VERY NICE!

also EIP does some very nice turbo kits for the VR6 with something like 6 stages,,, up to something like 700+ hp IIRC,,, take a look on their site if you're into that sort of stuff,,,

gimme a shout if you need a photoshop for the bumper smoothing pre-study

 

[Stan 24v]

EIP are going bust iirc

 

[basstard]

ouch! now that's sad news,,,

 

[sooty16v]

Looking good mate! Certainly a worthy upgrade!

 

[Cupra_Kevin]

Got any plans for the engine itself? i.e supercharger?

 

[C3 LJG]

Yeah one day there will be a phat polished supercharger on there!!

 

[Cupra_Kevin]

How about a nice Turbocharged engine? More Torque from these surely?

Turbocharger on a vr6 would be a bad idea, you would end up melting the engine. Supercharger would be a more efficient way of getting extra power.

I could be wrong but I think VR6 engines are high compression where as turbo engines are low compresion, I could be wrong though
