carterleeds 37 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 hi mate what part did you use in the headlight? on my previous vr's ive just ran a air duct from the fog light area which did work but the pipeing used was really small in order to clear the fan belt. yours is perfect as i wouldnt have any clearing issues and can use a bigger diameter pipeing for more air and looks oem and is of course very practical!!!! Quad headlights came and my plan worked perfectly!!! The cold air feed could not have fitted better if I tried!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

carterleeds 37 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 thank you thats perfect mate. so is this pureply a track car or road use aswell? also did you weight the car? im looking to build a road use car only but looking to loose a lot of weight most money sense for me untll i decide to force induction which isnt anytime soon as spoken to stealth racing looking at 5.5k which is mad but one day when im a millionaire lol Link to post Share on other sites

carterleeds 37 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) hahahaha but yeh the weight for me makes the most sense for the power to weight. ive searched for ages but cant really find a difinitive answer about people actually weight lost and whats been removed because like you said and many others have added back in things that cancels out the max weight loss lol. luckily for me ive got a mate with a weighing in scale so when i start my project ill weight it before any work then after. would be really interesting tbh because im looking to do a full exhaust incuding 6branch full interior strip apart from 2 front seats, een door cards like yours but not carbon fibre probaly foam board and make my own, so should be interesting. so hopefully power goes up slightly and weight goes down win win for this heavy lump lol thats the main issue though isnt it the weight Edited November 3, 2015 by carterleeds Link to post Share on other sites

carterleeds 37 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 well ive had like 5 vr6's but never kept them for longer than 6months did the quick coilovers making it shiny full exhaust but never really put any time into one so hopefully going to keep this one and try make it my last and make it my own as certain things were always done to the ones ive always one. also there becoming very rare arnt they so uno not bad of a fun investment Link to post Share on other sites
ky_uk 304 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 That's exactly why I got mine, I've had one before but I wanted a track toy and I had lots of good memories in my old one so like you said with them becoming rare I had to get one. Link to post Share on other sites

carterleeds 37 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 is it hard to DIY supercharge a vr6? i know my way around with instructions but just wouldnt know where to start from parts to fitment if not guided. Link to post Share on other sites
ky_uk 304 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would recommend buying a vortech charger, and as for the work get your hands dirty and research properly and you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
carterleeds 37 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 yeh i think if its a home diy then ill probably look into it next year, as i know my vr6 needs a lot a maintenence work, i.e servicing fluid changes brakes suspension bushes anything mechanical, just basically make sure the car is restored mechanically, then the bigger stuff timing chain and cams at the same time as i believe the clutch was replaced couple years back.
