redvr6_girl 190 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Hey Newbie vr6 owner here this is my first vr6 it's a 96Got a project on my hands tho it doesn't need much now as had full service , new fuel and filter change , new plastic connector (that connects near tower and to cables- it's exact name eludes me atm) for gears and cables , had a abs problem which is sorted now , new battery as it sat for a while before I bought it has had water leak fixed and new rocker cover gasketIt's also now mot'd and road legal as it stands but I'm not driving it till after the respray It came with tons of parts , it's on bbs 16s has been lowered on springs (not sure of make at present ) has 20mm spacers on wheels and uprated brakes fitted , sparco steering wheel , neuspeed filter and a miltek stealth cat back system (single oval tailpipe rather than the common twin jet)Needing another new battery as CD player wired into a constant live ? And keeps draining battery (Why anyone would do that I don't know ) , that and over sensitive alarm /immobilisor , sorting out of a few spare bits here and there a paint job and a general tidy upNew crackle black inlet to be fitted aswell Eventually plan to turbo it Give it a nice fat rear end with some 8.5 banded steels and some camber but for now a nice respray, maybe some carbon wraped bits OR flocked bits (on outside) not sure yet , going to retrim it all and do the head liner , lower it some more - more than likey coil overs instead of springs , fit the r32 sump and pick up , new splitter to go onAlso I have mechanical knowledge but of motorbikes (level 2&3 citi and guilds) but not too clued up when it comes to cars apart from servicing and replacing , tyre changing and brakes :/ What you think ? Be nice its my baby Edited November 12, 2014 by Kelly ibs 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Welcome to the club Kelly. I've always been a fan of the red VR's and it's looking like you've bought a nice one. It certainly sits well on them springs. Take a look around mate. There's a wealth of knowledge here and some quality modded examples and experienced members.And if you need any info or help just ask. There's always a friendly member to assist. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
redvr6_girl 190 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thank you I'm obsessed with red so made sense to have a red one (the respray will be red also) And thank you Is there a way I can find out the make of the springs ? I haven't had a good look at them as of yet but will they have markings ? I will do I really want to get to know this car inside out and everyday possible And thank you Link to post Share on other sites
VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yes mate. Give them a good wipe and they should say it on them somewhere. Your VR will grow on you every day mate. I never get bored of mine especially that grunt she makes when I put my foot down. Haha. Link to post Share on other sites

Great to see this went to a good home, think I spotted it on eBay a while back? Whereabouts in Essex are you? I'm just across the border in Bishops Stortford.
