SOLD - MK3 Golf VR6 track-day car
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:56 am
Sadly for sale due to changed circumstances my MK3 Golf VR6 track-day car - only used once in anger (honest!)
Built in 1996 not taxed or tested - currently on a sorn.
Sprayed very very badly in eye-catching P155 Yellow (RAL 911) anyone on track would have to be clinically blind to miss it (that was the idea as the missus was going to be driving it)
.
What can I say about her - she came to me with a blown lump and body mods (dents) from a loony Italian about 4 years back, since then I have fitted a replacement lower mileage engine, replaced the gearbox and selector linkage - the grill was removed and replaced with mesh job. The shocks were then replaced with with JOM adjustable height coil-overs and the car was set as low as it was possible so as not to rip off the sump when passing over anything bigger than an ant, works well on track (rather too low for road use assuming you want to put her back on the road).
Good points
Given the coil overs cost me
