I’m a VW nut but What a beautiful example of a mk3 vr6. I had the same (color) 96 but 4 door, auto, 2.0L w/ custom 50 trim turbo, 268 cam, unitronic tt chip and custom turbo back exhaust. Surprisingly the 4 speed torque converter held up to the abuse! Happy to see your back doing what you love.

I was also 16 around the mk3 vr6 gti, total nostalgia! Nothing like that vr6 sound back then. I remember them partnering with Trek and coming with free bikes.

YES! The Trek editions were pretty cool! They were 4 cylinder cars, but came with GT wheels and some cool options...and a bike! Awesome!

Wow! These are amazingly clean examples of these nostalgic rides. I'm more interested in the VR6 but cool to hear your thoughts on the differences and fun factor between the two before going turbo. Your old VR6 looked super clean as well. Can't wait for more content on these!

Thanks Ruben!! The Momo Arrows are so classic, so 90's! I really love the more concave versions that fit on the E36 BMW's.

Hell ya Stu!! Such a great 'build off' comparison - definitely brings back a lot of memories (99-02 for me) with these two match-ups! I raced a many of civics back in the day with my 96 VR GTI. My biased side says VRT all day long, but those boosted B18 Honda motors can surprise some people for sure! ..gotta say though, you've dropped some quick cash on that GTI already (damn!) - those ABT bits aren't cheap - and that's IF you can find them! (*Where the hell did you score the body pieces from?? Wow!), along with the wheels too... and the Recaro A8's!?! Cha-ching!! - Props to the PO of the GTI also (and your detailer LOL), that thing is super clean!! Love it! Can't wait to see the progress bud! :cheers:

This makes me miss my 98 Jetta GLX...super pristine example. And I’ve got to admit, I would totally rock a clean 90’s Civic hatch too. The sound of the VTEC kick over gets me every time 😂👌 Side question. What Recaro’s are those from the GTI and the Civic? Comfy over longer distances too?

Both cars are pretty sweet, but I don't think anything beats the sound of a vr6, but I will admit the Honda shifter is way better than the 02As

Just found this channel and it’s so nostalgic for me. I was a Honda boy at heart and had so many. One of my favorites was my vitara Ef civic hatch 360hp/268tq. I can mention many more I’ve owned but just want to say this a great brake from all the exotics

I have a stage 2 South Bend Endurance in my MK4 Wagon 1.8T and a Wavetrac (great diff). Pedal pressure is pretty much stock. 2 years of use, no complaints and still feels great...I treat it well though. You're probably going to need a stage 3...another viewer with experience with it might be able to speak to it and share his/her thoughts. Both Sexy builds...very jealous :-)
