Moving from G60 to VR6

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my dad is looking for a new car and has showed some interest in mine.

 

He would be willing to give me a good price for it. Only problem is.....

 

Can i find a VR that will Be as good as my G60?

 

I had my car completly resprayed 18 months ago and i took the whole car apart and put it back together. Soent 3 months just sorting it out and getting it sprayed.

 

Its all going well, all work and there is nothing wrong with my car, BUT....i could go and buy a VR6 wih the money i can get from my dad. Only thing is i now have a higher expectation.

 

I never want to do a complete respray. Took ages to get the glass out.

 

One of the reasons that i am even selling is because i want some more power.

 

I could just go to Darren at G-werks and have a CNC head fitted with FMIC and 65mm Pulley. But i like the idea of supercharged VR6 (how much £)

 

What power are people getting with their supercharged VR's?

 

I would like to also sort the interior out, its mint but grey isn;t my fav.

 

Need to put new suspention on. Its stock at the mo and there are no problems.

 

I am completly stuck, i can afford to get a VR, i love my G60 to bits and its in stunning condition. I can get a good price for it.

 

Basically can i find a VR in as good condition? Probably

 

Any help would be great, and this is not trying to be a comparison thread.

 

How does everyone else let go of a car they have spent so much time and money on?

 

Cheers

Basically Darren asked me why i brought a G60.

 

I brought a G60 because it was good fun, racey and you got that great kick when the supercharger is pushing boost.

 

Problem after driving for a while in the hot weather my car has felt sluggish and slow. Got beaten by my G/F brother in his Mercedes Cosworth 190.

 

The ambient temps are about 30 degrees here in Norwich some days and that just kills the G60 if you don;t have a FMIC. Can lose up to 25bhp.

 

So Darren suggested a FMIC. Agreed

I asked Darren if my car can give me that Kick sensation back, like when i first brought one and hadn;t felt it before. Darren says "YES"

 

So i'm going to have some engine stuff done :D

 

Apparenly my car will push me in the back, will feel like a new beast with the added mods.

 

Another thing that made me keep it was i completly respray the car, i know every detail about it. Took 3 months to completly strip down get it sprayed and put back together.

 

Keep the G60, just see if you can release a bit more grunt from it.

 

What spec do you have?

 

Cheers

I'm running pretty standard - but it wont be long, keep me posted on how you get on /what you get or have done - and put some pics up its always nice to see other G's on here rather than all these vr's and conversions :salute:
