My 94 VR6

[gjb_leics 0]

I've had it for just over a month now, after a long search, and as I picked it up from a guy who posts/posted on here as 'latestarter' I thought I'd better post up a few pics for the forum....

It's a 94M, twilight violet with full black leather interior and it's just recently clocked over 100'000mls. It's standard apart from:

a Cat-back oval Miltek exhaust (if I was to fit an exhaust myself I would have chosen this)

an AMD ECU re-map a few years ago, to a healthy 195bhp on the rollers

colour-coded front grille

smoked standard rear lights (Mk2/3 Golf style, as they should have been imho)

the usual Lupo aero wipers (these need the blades replacing so if anyone can advise me what exactly I'm supposed to pick out of the rack at Halfords I'd be very grateful!).

All electrics are working now - many thanks to whoever did the 'heater blower motor resistor' repair guide on the Wiki - and all in all you can't knock the condition of it for a 14yr old car that has been/is used daily. I have no crazy turbo/supercharged beast plans for it but if it treats me well and I have the finances and motivation sometime next year I may go 35/40mm lower on coilovers and fit some 16" BBS RX2s which I have laying around, maybe also make a couple of minor OEM+ style cosmetic changes like a black front grille with black VW badge, smoked side repeaters and German plates.

I recently had a service done and was advised the front discs will need replacing soon, ideally I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade to 288mm discs - will these go on as a straight swap or will the pads and/or callipers need changing too?

Wow, what were VW doing with the standard ride height on these things. First thing Id do it lower it to reduce that arch gap.

For the brakes you need discs, pads, calipers, carrier and hoses.

I'm sure the standard ride height looks worse in pictures, myn doesnt look half as high in real life......nice looking C mate, not to sure about the rear tints though.....from what I can see !!

Making it handle on our sh!tty roads thats what :grin: Mine is slower with uprated suspension than it was with shagged std suspension LOL

 

Nice looking car m8. If you want to uprate the discs I would try std discs and some hard compound pads first (such as EBC red stuff) and uprated goodridge hoses as well if you are bleeding it.
