they are…i did that shit back in like 1982…haha…jk…i dont think so…if done right i think they are awesome…
Ive been getting between 25-28 depending on how I drive. I think by any standard thats pretty damn good for a 6cyl.
that grille and lights are worth big $$$$ you can get big bucks from guys in europe/england for the Westmoreland front ends. as they were only on US cars in certain years and trims. you could possibly trade someone on a euro site a Rallye front end for one… do your homework son!
you cant bash on mk2 VR’s until you have owned one. so silence from the peanut gallery :headbang
^^^^yeah i agree…you were still in diapers when i had my mk2 vr6
That’s impressive actually.
My 4cyl Legacy cannot beat 22mpg. AWD in the summer FTL.
Very nice! [/borat] :thumb
pics look goods, guys. vr6 is a nice sounding motor for sure. i like how Pete’s car sounds.
Pete, you still owe me that ride in it :nod ;D
LMK the next time i see you and ill take you for a spin
thanks for posting them dave! :tong
i do agree that a fair amount of people have vr swapped mk2’s, however, there aren’t that many good condition mk2’s around here, no matter whats under the hood. the mk2 is soooooo damn easy to work on and pull apart/ reassemble. pulling the whole drivetrain out of the car is an afternoon job.
they do get excellent gas mileage, especially for a 6 cyl IMO. the vr makes driving an mk2 much more “refined” feeling over the 16v or 8v. don’t get me wrong, i had a built 16v, and i enjoyed it, but not for an everyday driver. with the tdi 5th gear in my o2a tranny, i can get over 30 mpg on the highway. at 80mph i’m only touching 3k rpm’s, which fuckin rules for obvious reasons.
yes, the sound of a vr is intoxicating. i get my headers in the mail tomorrow, then i’ll be even happier with the exhaust note. :ninja
vadim, anytime bro. remind me the next time i see you. ;D
red one looks bitch
the blk one i like a little more it sounds soooooooooooooo fucking good and its faster that wins in my book .
thanks jeremy. the headers just came in the mail last week, so i’ll def. let you check it out after i get them on. :tong
