long over due introduction

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've been a member on here for a while, not sure If I ever intruduced myself properly, some of you may know me from other forums / and that thing called real life :D.

 

I am Pete, and I have ran The VR6 Owners Club for over 7 years now, great fun being able to help other like minded folk, so a huge sucess on that front!

 

I'm on my 3rd VR6 now!

 

My first mk3 VR6 had a little 80MPH run in with the nurburging :(

221BHP mk2 VR6... was rapid :)

 

but, I thought it was time to buy a house and all that, so sold it (big mistake) for some wonga for the house!

 

now. house is done! so I bought this:

 

bought as a non runner, needed head gasket, timing chains, matrix and everything else doing!

and a load of other stuff, did a bit of this and that. and hopefully will be ready for an MOT in March following a mass of jobs... bonnet cable needs replacing too. will be fun!

 

Here's my build thread! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=83314

 

enjoy, and might see you at some events this year!

good to have your knowledge from your other forum escapades Pete. it was a shame the mk2 didnt live, and then i was annoyed to miss out on the wheels from it 3rd or 4th hand from someone else last year too! will you be tracking the corrado at all?

Hiya, thanks for the warm welcome.

 

not sure what Im doing with the corrado once done! going to be a struggle running 2 cars as it is! but I will hopefully be at some of the VR6OC shows this year as ive not had a VR6 for over 2 years (running and on the road that is)

 

I fancy doing some drag strip and possibly hill climbing though! I dont think I will go back to the ring... I think a wrote off VR6, 1.5k fine and a double hernia was enough for me!

 

Sorry about the wheels mate :) They were awesome!! especially with the big brakes I had on it the mk2! suited it well.

 

got a few more sh*tty jobs do on the corrado, bonnet cable etc... but at least everything mechanically is ok!

 

Pete
