Hello!

[OzVR6]

Hey Everyone!

I'm Tristan, 20 years old. Studying Film and Television Production and Film Finance Management. I moved to Brisbane last year February from Cape Town, South Africa.

I drive a 1995 VW Golf VR6. I got her dead stock standard. After having her for two weeks decided to get to modding. (In South Africa, VR6s are alot more popular than here).

So far, I've done.

Golf 5 Style Smoked Headlights
Smoked Crystal Side Indicators
Crystal Front Indicators and Fogs
Remus 2 1/4" Cat Back Exhaust, Straight to to Rear Muffler & Twin 2.5" Tips
Bonrath 2 Piece Front Lip
New VW Badge on boot (old one was faded grey)
K&N Flat Pad filter with Custom Airbox Mod
GIAC ECU from ABD Racing
Magnecor 8mm Leads
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
DBA Rotors with EBC Greenstuff Pads
Jamex Speedlift Kit
ARP Headbolts
SACHS VR6 Clutch kit
AFP Timing Chains

Sound Wise:
Pioneer TSW306C 12" Sub in Custom Box in the Boot for some bass
JVC MP3 Headunit with Ipod and USB connection
JL Audio VR Splits
Option Audio Amplifier (800W RMS) - Sub
Pioneer Amplifier (1000W) - Splits

To come...(hopefully)

This is the bonnet and side fender after a good wax job - spent the last weekend, giving her a proper cut, polish and wax...took the whole of sunday afternoon, but so worth it.

Hey Tristan!

It's BJ, glad you finally took my advice and joined up! :nana:

The VR is looking sweet as usual.

I was talking to your bro on boost the other day, it seems he also shares the VW love. Must be in your blood!

Welcome to the forums man.

Thats a clean VR6 you have, looks fantastic.
Cheers, Andrew :)

Cracking ride mate, it looks fantastic :) Welcome aboard!

[bahjah]

I might add that this is the car that singlehandedly inspired my love for VR6's.

It's easy to see why! One of the best looking VR's i've seen IMO.

[gtimk5]

I agree its a great looking car, I cant believe those wheels are sooooo clean!!!!
Andrew :)

Clean looking VR :)

Welcome to another South African.
I am from Johannesburg,and have been living in Melbourne for 8 years.
My love for VW started in SA...had 2 Jettas there,as well as one in America.
I now have a new Jetta here as well.
The VR6 Golf is an awesome car...just keep those alloy wheels looking great.
Those were the ones fitted to the VR6 Jettas in South Africa,the Golfs used another design mag.

[Lorenz]

Welcome mate. That VR looks awsome, very clean and very neat, I like it :D

Can I ask where you got the headlights from? They look the bizz and just what Ive been after :D

[rayray086]

Welcome to the forums Tristan; there seems to be more and more VR6 owners surfacing up! You should join up with the Qld crew for some cruises/meetups :bigok:

[OzVR6]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Lorenz: I got the headlights from AutoStyle in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I decided to sell the debadged 2 Fin Grille, so if anyone is after a pretty much brand new, unpainted, debadged 2 Fin Grille, let me know.

I've taken the original Grille, and sprayed the VW emblem black, doesn't look too bad, I need to take more photos.

RayRay: Would definately like to meet up with some more VW's, feels like I'm on the only VR6 driving around Brisbane lol.

[OzVR6]

Managed to find a photo of when I was getting the new leads and plugs. Probably most recent photo I have of the car....

You after South African style VR6 wheels? Not the multi spoke, but those sort of flat 5 spoke ones? I'm pretty sure I know of a few people in SA selling them... I'll get hold of them and get some prices for you.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Dude....nice car!! That is a seriously good looking VR6. I love how you've kept it clean looking; the look you've gone for on the front end is actually really inspiring :D

Welcome aboard also :D

[OzVR6]

Cheers Mrk_Mickey! I just wanted to make it sort of unique in a way, and so far I haven't seen another one that looks like it:biggrin:
