VN V6, nothing special
here are some stats to gander at, thinking it has a cam now. **** down low, good up top.
18.3m: 2.52s
100.6m: 6.57s
201.2m: 9.85s @ 123.48km/h
304.8m: 12.66s
402.3m: 15.03s @ 154.84km/h

Acceleration
0-25km/h: 1.20s
0-50km/h: 2.75s
0-100km/h: 7.05s
0-150km/h: 14.14s

no idea what to do about diff gears, will be driving 580KMs a week @ 100km/h, so i don't think diff gears are going to do me too good :(

some 3.45's might actually be alright on the freeway, maybe lol
btw how did you get all that info? gtech?

not bad for a gassed vp :D

lol, well it was on petrol for the run, and i've got a bung iphone that runs apps so i installed this free one called "pocket dyno". works really good, from what i can tell it's accurate because there are 2 things i do know: my 0-100 time and how fast i was going by the end of the run. and it got both of them spot on, so there's no reason why the other data would be off :)

What about a manual conversion on the beast?

There is one on egay, the entire T5 kit for a V8 and the bids start at $700.

Bit of a lucky dip when it comes to the box and clutch though.

Mine has done about 200km in the last 12 months hehe.

name a price and she's yours :)

here's another little update:
bought a sub and amp (photos soon) to slow myself down even more
car hasn't been washed in about 4 months - paint is ruined :p cut and polish in summer i guess
brakes suck and are shaky? time for new discs and pads i think
AND it should be foam tuned soon, can't wait for that!
