scorrado123 10 Posted August 2, 2012 Hi all! Just thought I'd say hello after re-registering to the site after a good few years! Yesterday I picked up a blackberry pearl VR6 after owning the same coloured 16v for the past 13 years! 16v is still going strong, although I'm debating whether to keep hold of her for parts or sell on!) VR6 mmmmm what a noise :) absolutely love it! paid a tad under 4k for it but it does look and drive the part. All electrics working fine, nice Kahn 5 spoke alloys, steel exhaust, full heated leather, 3rd visor etc etc etc etc the list really does go on! all looking good apart from a small rip in the rear seat (any suggestions in London?) Will post pics ASAP! Just wondered if there were any obvious things I should have looked out for as I kind of went with my gut on it and don't know huge amounts about the VR6 I must say! Oh forgot to mention came with a rather nice plate which reads M1O VW :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorrado123 10 Posted August 2, 2012 Welcome! Sounds like a good 'un, in arguably the best colour 8) Thanks Cazza, definitely my fav!! First job has got to be to lower the beast. Is there a generally recommended set (without breaking the bank!) Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 2, 2012 If you don't want to break the bank, then either Weitec or Koni (shocks) + H&R springs are good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 2, 2012 I wouldn't :lol: AP are supposed to be pretty good also. Remember, you get what you pay for- especially with suspension. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted August 2, 2012 I've got JOM they don't seem so bad but I've not been in another C with something else to compare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorrado123 10 Posted August 3, 2012 I've got JOM they don't seem so bad but I've not been in another C with something else to compare. Have you had them on for long? I'll be doing about 1000 miles a year so as long as they drive ok and give the car a nice look, sounds like just the ticket! Standard stance is far too high, my old 16v looks more menacing at the moment, cant wait to see the difference new coils will make to the VR6! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorrado123 10 Posted August 3, 2012 Also, anyone knowledgable close no NW London that wouldn't mind giving the car a once over?? (I tried the sticky link but it wasn't working for me!) Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
