My White VR6... :)

[geo7087 11]

Lowered it more to try and match up the arch gap, really sits nicely now, althought i still need to roll my arches! scrubs a tad... lol

Got some half decent updated photos got a few bits coming for it now paydays come around again and hopefully stainless 6 branch will be fitted v shortly too.

Comments welcomed

She looks awesome bud!I also need to sort my arches out!

[geo7087 11]

a few small updates,

Manifold

Its fitted, finally, sounds bloody immense, not yet heatwrapped, goinjg to do that at a later date whilst its fitted to the car, will be more tricky but just wanted to get it on badly

K and N Panel

Panel filter fitted, bought it brand new, sounds a little different, and combined with the mani and a recent oil change the car drives smoothly and sounds like a bloody animal

TRS Strap

Marmite modification beware, im not 100% on it yet, i can guarantee everyone else probably hates it... but here it is

and finally i need opinions, do i or do i not paint the engine cover white, and the inlet pipes white, and re-fit the standard HT leads, followed by White Samco hoses, quite tempted to colour code with the car....

current bay...

Cheers

Car's lookin sweeet.

I'm like the contrast between the engine and the white body...

whats the point of the strap?....

how much difference did the manifold make? oh and was it easy to fit? I've got one to collect on the 20th wooohoooo

[cornishvr6 52]

I think the engine bay looks spot on as it is mate, White would also be a good idea just a pain in the a##e to keep clean especially the hoses,

How do you find the std airbox over the cone filter performance wise?

[geo7087 11]

to answer the above strap is for looks only, but im still really undecided.. lol

performance wise it does seem much more responsive with a panel filter over open cone and so much smoother!

i had the manifold fitted by a garage... took them about 3 hours... lol, fucking insane, but there we go, its done now!

[geo7087 11]

some pictures of recent on-goings

Smacked sump... need to replace this

Vento bonnet and headlights (smoked by me with black vinyl)

Broken headlight held together with selotape.... lol

Engine bay so far, have to get the black leads back on, a few stainless bits to come, need a smaller filter and metal rocker cover to have polished up

Foglight air intake duct things are being painted same colour as the car and tow strap more than likely being removed

and tow strap more than likely being removed

YAY :) (g) (^) (y) (d) (f)

car looks sweet mate and the changes are defo for the better love the new look engine bay too nice work

Good work dude , yeah agree about the strap theres not alot of point having a pink thing hanging out your front if it does nothing !!!

[geo7087 11]

This is true

The black Plastic at the front of the engine bay that the grille clips into.... does anyone know how thats removed? ideally i wanna colour code it but ive got a bad feeling the rad, fans etc are attached to it

[Ben Seabrook 4]

the slan panel mate - yeah if so all that is attached remove the bumper and all will become clear its not too bad tbh as long as the bolts at the bottom arent corroded !!

[geo7087 11]

might be worth getting a spare to get painted me thinks, do you know if base model ones are the same as the VR or not?

[Ben Seabrook 4]

well am sure someone will confirm but fairly sure the base is the same on all models mate so should do

Looks awesome mate!!

[geo7087 11]

Ideal, thanks for your help

[VeedubVR 0]

White on white works soo well. Makes such a difference from polished TT comps

I wrapped the 6 branch on mine when it was fitted. Make sure you have a good few hours spare. There will be alot of swearing and shouting aswel haha

[geo7087 11]

Cheers buddy, debating keeping the comps and just spacing em out with thinner tyres all round, maybe a 185/35 all round.

either that or look into White Borbet A's

[geo7087 11]

Recently ive finally got my vento front on, to cut a long story short at the last minute before a small car show that was local my early de-badged grille still hadn't arrived.... grrr, so sourced a later style debadged grille, im happy with it as a temp measure, but desperate to get an early grille

Also colour coded the fog ducts, and as you can see in the below picture now have colour coded my show plates with my forum name on them also thanks to Ben Seabrook i have a Metal rocker cover coming so the engine bay will be taking up a black and Polished theme following the Black and red previously

A quick snap from the recent small car meet, will get some half decent photos shortly

[d1cky1982 0]

I love it.

You don't see many white VR's gong about

[VeedubVR 0]

Dont do borbet As. they are really played on on mk3s.

Just bought a vento front for mine, in two minds whether to put it on for UD.

What tyres you running now? definately space the back out though.

[geo7087 11]

195/40 on the front, Falkens on a 7.5j

rears are a 205 currently but i wasnt the same on the back and spaced out in time for UD

[hvr6 88]

195/40 on the front' date=' Falkens on a 7.5j

rears are a 205 currently but i wasnt the same on the back and spaced out in time for UD

will look sweeet :-)

[geo7087 11]

Cheers, on a slightly off subject ive got my hotel booking paperwork from you for UD, is there a deadline for it?

[VeedubVR 0]

TT comps roughly Et35? what size spacer you going for?

[geo7087 11]

they are et32 mate, and i9n all honestly im not sure yet
