Who needs a VR6 when youve got a TDI....

Clockwork is far more economical than a tdi or vr.

 

i drove a 2.2 DTI vauxhall for two weeks on holiday, got back in the VR6 when i got home (couldn't wait) and almost sh1t my pants, felt like a feckin 'rarri in comparison!!

and OH MY GOD i had completely forgotton how lush it sounded

 

yeah it is if u drive a lardy mk4

 

Pah, infidels the lot of you. What you need is a G in a mk1 Polo. High torque, low weight, lovely induction note. A few thousand change from both of those too.

 

Agreed! Would love to G40 my Polo!

 

Stayed tuned Stu. For a long while admittedly but stay tuned nonetheless

 

LOL@SutherlandM.

Love the way all my threads get hijacked nowadays and descend immediately into 'my car's better than yours'! I mean, G40 Polos are jolly nice, but have absolutely no relevance to this thread whatsoever!

Oh and BHP equals torque times thingummy over whatjemacallits divided by...

Touche. Damn, you've all got me doing it now. Time for a beer.

Indeed, now look for an A4 TDi while you sip

 

Sounds good!

 

TDI please!

Or even TDI

Cheers,

Drew.

 

Consider me learned.

Stu, twin inlet flowed charger with 65mm pulley and chip, flowed GT inlet manifold into flowed head with reground cam out through flowed decat downpipe should sound quite good and go quite well too

 

I have swapped my TDI for a V6 and as it stands, I wouldnt go back... not just yet

 

Rob - Exactly!

 

ah but those are in a certain gear. and lets face it, if you care about half a second difference getting from 50-70, you'd be in 3rd in the vr6.

all this "bhp means nothing, its a multiple of torque" is all well and good, but if a torquey diesel cant rev above 5000 rpm then its going to need longer gears, which take the torque away again at the wheels.

Besides a VR6 is one of the best sounding engines ever. versus a diesel. tough choice! I mean if you care about economy then why are you ragging it in the first place?

 

That'll go very well indeed in a Mk1! If your Polo has as many weight saving (read rust) measures as mine it'll be like a rocket!

What are you doing with the brakes? Looking at uprating mine at the moment.

This is well off topic, I know!

How about a TVR or Noble diesel then?!!!

 

Mmm what car would I drive...
A turbo tractor or
My VR6......
Let me think about that one......
