Looking amazing there, Rob! How shiny? 8)

Well done! Get some pics up!

Agreed! When the Prelude came out, it was pretty special. However, like the Probe, it's aged terribly. Calibra is actually quite a nice looking car, and as you say, with a few tweeks still looks good today. The Corrado looks good full stop. It has dated, but again, a few tweeks and it looks much more modern. Amazing how just changing tails and side indicators can transform a Corrado.

Looks great, Jim 8) Pull your finger out and get some pics up of the engine bay! :) Looking back a few posts- prefer the half smoked tails to the all reds- just think it's a bit tooooo red with those on ;)

Like it! 8) Where are the centre caps?

I'd steer well clear, John- right pair of cowboys :lol: Looks like you've done well there, mate- plenty of bargains to be had at the mo ;)

I had cloth recaros, ARZ smoked tails, debadged grille... I'm waiting for pics of the Speedlines, as mine were gunmetal too! Reckon V-Dubstar was stalking me :lol:

Hello mate, glad you've started up your own thread - car's looking great! When I saw it a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe how similar it was to my last VR! Love the leather Recaros- can't wait to see pics of the wheels 8)

Ah, didn't notice he was that young! Maybe a prob then...

I would just go straight for a VR. If you buy a 16v, you'll end up wanting one pretty soon anyway. Insurance shouldn't be much different (only one group difference unless you get a Storm) and MPG is pretty much the same. G60 is worth a look (If it was me I'd have a VR though ;) ), although you'd have to put up with the early interior and exterior (bonnet, grille, lights etc) unless you got a K reg. It's a very different drive to a VR- they're good in different ways. As others have said, drive them all, and try to drive as many examples as poss. Be prepared to spend as much as you can on a decent example, although there are bargains to be found.

Went to Castle Combe last Saturday and had a bit of a thrash around the track. Was joined by DazyCrave and Vornwend. Dazy was my much needed navigator, for my first ever track session- twas initially a little daunting, but it's amazing how much you improve in a short time :) Dave was on form (unitentially!)- we hired our helmets, and I said 'I'm off to the loo,' Dave replied 'I;ll hold it for you,' :lol: Then, when watching the in car video of the track run he was shouting 'Hard-on, hard-on!' :lol: Spending too much time with Tom? Lap times: 1. 2:09 :shock: :lol: 2. 1:54 3. 1:47 4. 1:42 5: 1:37 8) Would love to have an instructor session sometime...

Love it 8) Remember seeing this car advertised- looked awesome! Anyway, back OT, how are you getting on with the vRS search, Karl? Was that one for £2895 any good?

Two yesterday after 7pm. Dark blue slammed 16v/8v in Wotton, driving down Bear St. Reg ends in BDT- seen this before. White early (16v?) at roundabout near Vue cinema, Cribbs Causeway.

Couple of good buyers to thank- V-Dubstar ShaunG60 Just_say_meth Cheers guys for hassle free transactions 8)

Good stuff, Vaughan 8) Much better than 280s - look good too :) Still love the BBS wheels- gorgeous!

Good choice of choons there, Jon! Dayvan Cowboy & The Girl With the Sun in her Head- awesome! 8)

Jon, isn't yours the N/A 20v? The 20v really needs the turbo! There are lots of variations in the 1.8 20v engines- the Octy vRS has the AUQ. The only other car to have this exact engine AFAIK is the MK4 GTI (180 BHP). It's got really good low down/mid-range torque. On my way to work (20 mins) I usually get around 32-34 mpg. On longer journeys it's up around 36-39 mpg. Even when you drive it hard, it still manages mid to late 20s. Re: stalling - learn to drive, you muppet! :lol: ;)

Oh yeh- pretty sure you can get a towbar, and as Chris says, Briskoda is a superb website! 8)

You called? :salute: :lol: I've got a MK1 estate and absolutely love it. The only specific prob I can think of is with the hatchback is if it's been raining and you open the boot quickly, water kinda pours into the boot :lol: Thats it! Get one- you can't really buy a better car for the money IMHO. Look out for the options such as xenons, cruise, heated seats, sunroof etc. Colour code the chrome grille asap though ;) And yeh, it's great sticking two fingers up to the ridiculously ignorant badge snobs (especially when they drive French stuff!) :lol:

:( Looking good as usual 8) How long until your next big day? :)

I tried getting one from GPC last year- they told me not to bother as it's over 5ft once wrapped, so the new postage charges would be over £20!

BMC should be fine- more lightly oiled than the K&N. Lots of people on here run them with no probs at all. Decent gains to be had too- my last VR gained 7 bhp with a BMC. Leave the pipe off the front though- more noise + doesn't make any difference to the power ;)

Very nice- reminds me of my first 16v :) Nice, rare colour 8)

Very nice! Liking the mods- OEM+ 8) Re: handling- defo worth getting a rear anti-roll bar on if you haven't already. One of the best mods I've done on the vRS.

Had forgotten these even existed! Such a lot of car for the money- love it 8) Got it yet, Karl?
