Oh there are some gems on that board. After reading ZD’s thread about fixing a noise by swapping to a bigger block I decided to google 3.2L VR6’s. Granted I would never put that kind of time/money into my car but hey it’s always fun to daydream/read/not work. Anyhow, I came across this and got a good chuckle. Figured I’d pass it along: After posting a short block and a long block at different prices: > [@typical vortexer](#): > > Who wants to tell me if these will fit easily into my 2004 Vr6 GTI? > Now, I want to know what the difference between a short block and a long block is? I think it’s obvious that one block is longer than the other, but in addition to that, what’s the pros of a long block to a short block. I mean, it does cost a \*\*\*\* load more than the short block. Has anyone even bought one of these motors? Hehe… ---

Thats funny, but there are dumb asses on every forum, especially large ones like the vortex. They do seem to flock to the mk4 forum though ---

I know, it’s weird. There is a ton of useful info in the stickies there, but I honestly have no idea how it got there. :gotme: My most recent adventure was asking for a wiring diagram of the A/C system and getting a breakout of the coolant plumbing. I appreciated the guy’s effort in posting it and all, but :ham: ---

that’s not even bad. try selling your vr on there. then when you sell your car, try selling the random parts for it you have laying around. I wanted to fucking shoot myself everytime I had to deal with one of those tards. I clicked on a link walker sent me for some kid selling e30 seats on the tex (this was about 6 months after I sold eveything I had and hadn’t been back to the tex since) and about 20 im’s poped up “yo u selltha intake?” “is the vr6 still 4 sale?” not to mention the kid on the tex from skanectity (sp) who sent me photoshoped pics of his mk2 gli and I drove all the way there to trade only to arrive there to find a haggered pos. the vwvortex should burn. ---

you know, I had a tire iron sitting on the floor of my passenger seat and I was thinking to myself, I could just fucking pummel this kid right now and leave town… but I didn’t. I kinda regret it. then he called me a few days later and we had a few words… its a long story. the kid had yellow eyes. fucking YELLOW EYES. I don’t think I had\will ever be as mad again as I was on the drive home. ---

I usually go in there when I am looking to buys used parts or hit one of the sticky threads for DIY stuff. Other than that, the car lounge sometime has some good banter in it. One thing I have noticed is that prices on some the parts is really inflated IMO. But they created their own little market, making old ATS wheels worth silly $$. ---

Wasn’t it the Mk4 forum that had a thread on changing oil by running the car without the oil cap on for a while, or something similarly rediculous? I tried selling stuff on there and it was nightmare. Out of 10 people who agree to buy your part, maybe 1 will actually send money. Thats why I still have a garage full of VW parts. ---
