Very nice, especially the red one.

Dont fancy your chances of finding one too easy tho, theres only 2 for sale on carsales.com.au and theyre both 4cyl autos.

[Tim]

if only you could get them in australia with an engine :P

[DubSteve]

I like the first one very nice, I like alot.

[GoLfMan]

if only you could get them in australia with an engine :P

wouldnt be too hard to transplant a VR into em ;)

[BlackVr6ix]

theres a VR in williamstown.

[MattyT]

Are they FWD or RWD... or AWD? :D

[BlackVr6ix]

FWD, like a golf

[phaeton]

I've always loved the Vento :D

hmmm perhaps I should save up for one as 1st car :D

[Zee - Golfie]

Imagine a vento vr6, would be nice..found a few, but price range to buy them and then change it too a vr6 cost a bit. i think if i sell my SEAT, i will settle for a vento and then change it to a VR6 with a golf mk3 front..i like these fronts on a vento. look stylish..

there are heaps more pics on www.425dubs.com.

[BlackVr6ix]

Those wheels look like sex!

[rayray086]

Man, <3 Alpinas.

All Ventos in Australia came in GL models right?

[syncro]

All Ventos in Australia came in GL models right?

Yes, all 397 of them. And they're all 4 cyl.

[BlackVr6ix]

Yes, all 397 of them. And they're all 4 cyl.

The one i see 3-4 times a week must be a personal import then. first time i saw it i had to do a double take. Doesnt look to be in the best condition thou :(

**Edit** 300th Post!

Would be nice to have a car like transplant a vr6 into it with a bad boy bonnet and some phat schmits. My pants are soaked lol;)

[BlackVr6ix]

Very! love the bad boy bonnets

[MattyT]

Im guessing the ventos are heavier then golfs though. Would need to trick out a VR6 motor to keep that same fun feeling?

[BlackVr6ix]

im sure with a nice exhaust and intake you probably wouldnt notice the weight difference.

There was a Vento VR6 for sale down the Gold Coast a year or so ago. It was a private import from South Africa. I was pretty interested to buy it for a family car but it didn't have air bags.

[DerSubtileVento]

The green one you posted up above is one of my favorite Ventos. The owner is from South Africa and was featured in Eurotuner several months back.

Also, I just read this morning that he is putting the Vento back to stock and is putting it up for sale.....

Was that the same "Dragon Green" Jetta that had Audi Fat Fives on it too? I remember seeing a similar shot but with the Audi wheels on vortex before...

Yep, same car.

[rayray086]

If he ever comes to Australia, have him bring all his sets of wheels with him j:

How hard would it be to transplant a VR6 into a Vento?

[peedman]

As hard as putting a vr6 in a gl you'd think.

[Vr6_Dog]

apparently the engine bay is slightly smaller in the vento's and gl's to VR someone on vortex pointed out. seems strange though. You would think they would be the same.

What a load of bollocks. Its the same size in all those cars. Just some more Vortex misinfo from someone who has no idea.

[Vr6_Dog]

thought it sounded a bit stupid....Has anyone done a VR6 vento here I wonder?

[Golf Loon]

Common swop in the UK and SA, I think they sell em in the USA.

[Zee - Golfie]

I like the previous pics u posted about the jetta in SA. Do you know how much he is selling it for? I wouldnt mine importing one from there, but they are bit expensive..bummer.

Yeah, we got the Jetta GLX in the States that came with the VR6.

[jerrah]

I've seen at least 3 Mk3 VR6 Ventos in Brisbane so they are around the place.

[MattyT]

Steal them for us j:

[Zee - Golfie]

Steal me one too. If one comes up for sale, should post on the forum.
The interior of vr6 jetta is nice.

[SOHC]

I love the green one on the last pic;)
VeeDubs can look pretty nice while being stock and getting mods done...
and too much of styles to choose!!!:rolleyes:

[Zee - Golfie]

Thats why i like a VW, you change parts from one models to another and vice versa. I think there was a thread posted somewhere before on which parts fit were.

VW all the way!!
