steveg60cab 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 well, now into my 3rd week of vr6 ownership, but it's been off the road for half of that due to a split radiator. thanks to everyone who contributed on how to do the job, it only took 2.5 hours to do without a haynes manual too!!so for those of you who haven't had the joy of changing a vr6 rad, here's how it'll look - it was only when we got the car home (the mrs drove it home when we bought it) that i found the shocks were shot and it felt like i was driving a blancmange!! so a set of FK's finest highsports were sourced from rimstyle for the bargain price of £410 delivered, and i've had a set of wheels sitting around for years just itching to get on a car. so here she was - and here she is now - and just to show the other runaround - the worst thing about this though, is that the mrs took the vr out for the 1st time and broke the chinspoiler and curbed a wheel!! how pissed was i??? future mods included the tinted m3 rear lights, and an induction kit i think...and another new chinspoiler!!

VR6Rich 3 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 At least it didnt catch fire though! Just a perished hose then? Youll have to get some pics up of the G60 when its a bit healthier!Welcome to VR ownership! Link to post Share on other sites
