chubbybrown 0 Posted June 15, 2006 Id agree why fix up a valver when you can get what you really want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomist 0 Posted June 15, 2006 just go & have listen to how a vr sounds! that'll make your mind up! you'll get a very good vr for that sort of money (i did) decisions decisions............. not a bad dilemna to be in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16vradge 0 Posted June 15, 2006 what would you do??????????????? Give it to me? I wouldn't throw it at the valver as you'll never recoup that if you ever decided to sell it on, sell the valver, get a decent G60 for around 3k and keep the rest as something to fall back on.

Niges16V 0 Posted June 15, 2006 I was in a similar position last year, but without the £4k. Luvd my valver, spent £1k in cyl hd rebuild & new wheels, realised I needed to spend alot more to get it mint, but it would still be a valver! Sold it and bought a VR :D Valvers are great cars but still the 'entry' level C. If you are hooked with a C then spend your money on a G60 or VR as you will get better returns, in driving pleasure & resale (if money speant wisely). I hear John (16VG60) is selling, could bag yourself one of the nicest & most powerful G60's about!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted June 15, 2006 15 mpg when 'used' is b*llocks mate. Its massively over-fueling if thats the case. I rag the sh*t out of mine all the time, day in day out, and get around 25 average. I reckon you'd probably still get 15 mpg on a track!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted June 15, 2006 Heh.. quite frankly I wouldn't rate your chances of getting insured on a 16VG60 at the age of 19 so i'd forget about John Mitchells motor! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.Rich. 0 Posted June 15, 2006 At the moment im wishing i'd bought a nice £3-4k vr6 instead of this 1500quid heap of junk parked on my drive at the moment! arrrgh! Still love the bloody thing though for some reason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
