This is my VR6, comments welcome.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/warrenbwalker/VR6a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/warrenbwalker/VR6b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/warrenbwalker/VR6c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/warrenbwalker/VR6d.jpg Bought the car a few weeks ago for a sweet price- and it had most of the mods already sorted so i wont have to pay out much on that front apart from styling... Does need other things sorting though which i will get sorted over time (hopefully by Summer!) Pretty standard looking, so far the spec is; K&N filter,

New Wheels or refurb
badboyV6 replied to jambojones10's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
yeah, keep em those wheels are sweet! Made by BBS i think. -
Cheers Mick for the informative reply - very helpful m8. According to your manual are their flexi pipes utilised by the air con? I will let you know the result of this one..... TBC
-
Also how much should i expect to pay to get it recharged?
-
will look smart - will look well mean with a black VR6
-
Thanks for the info Mick- im getting it checked out next week - hoping its just a pipe that knackered. Do you know what is located in that part of the engine bay? (behind the front bumper on the drivers side - almost directly behind the front indicator)
-
very nice m8- like the look. looks real mint- and i love those wheels!!!!!
-
hehe love that - great stuff lol Loved the civic engine note.....
-
By the way its a shame about your VR- i really like it very clean indeed!!!! What happened?
-
Im away until tomorrow so will post a picture at the latest monday. They look like 2 and a half inch twin straights....
-
Just took my dub for a spin and when i got back ive got yellow fluid leaking from underneath the bumper on the airbox side of the engine bay. It hissing a lot. Im thinking its the air con, anyone else here had a similar problem? Im hoping its a split pipe.......
-
thanks for the offer Stu but im not really into the 'OEM' look
-
hmmm sounds good binliner. Mines twin round tailpipes i think they a re 2 1/2" to 3 im not sure but i will check this afternoon. I know it sounds a bit chav like to want a loud exhaust but ive had a magnex before and fancy a different sound. What tailpipes are on yours?? Has something happened to your VR? i caught something on another thread- your car looks stonking!
-
This is the first time ive ever bought a car that has had engine mod (if minor). Ive got a superchip, a power boost valve, K&N filter replacement and full ss magnex exhaust. Has anyone here got a similar setup, and had it rolling roaded? Its a strange feeling with this VR compared to my last one, as it doesnt seem as torquey low down, but seems to really fly above 4000 RPM. Has anyone else got a power boost valve? If so did you feel a difference? Anyone got a louder ss exhaust system they would like to swap for a Magnex system ? I know the only way ill tell for sure is to take it to the

Really nice rims m8- Got any plans to slam it? - go for the euro look- badass!! :-)

Im pretty sure that OBD1 runs with a standard distributor cap, whereas on the later models (Possibly 95 on???- OBD 2) they use an ignition pack. If you are looking at the engine on the right hand side is the pack- all the the leads run into it- its a small rectangle job (very expensive to replace too) I think there is another thread in the forum about this
-
I did say that i got my leads from G&S, but in fact they were from Euro Car Parts- they are made by Hansa and are black. £52 + VAT - worked with no problems. Ive spent quite a lot recently so couldnt afford the nice red VW ones. Buying leads from Euro Car Parts is the automotive equivalent of buying from Lidls :-)

Thanks for putting my mind at rest- cheers m8...

Ive got 64k ('97 P reg) had no history when i bought it but i traced it back through Volkswagen Helpline- 3 owners Had a service every 10k with a recorded mileage of 34000 as of June 2000 with the first owner. Knew the last 2 owners the first let his wife use it as a local runaround (mad!) and his nephew bought it and couldnt afford to run it so its been left standing pretty much for 8 months.
-
Anyone know if this is normal??? If i turn the ignition on (even from cold) it sounds as if the coolant is being pushd around the engine bay rapidly... The car does not overheat and takes a very normal time to warm up so theres nothing wrong as such. I cant remember it being this loud on my old VR..... Any ideas?
-
Hi, i would love to come as i want to see what my VR6 is actually putting out, but i dont know if ive got anything on that Sunday. Could you put me down for TBC please, ill let you know shortly. Cheers

The coil pack is a common problem. I know of thress VR6's that have had these changed- they aint cheap neither!!
-
Ive just bought some replacement leads for my (newly acquired) VR6 - I bought them from G&S, these were made by Hansa- seem fine so far (Famous last words ;-)) I bought these as when i went to change the plugs, the shite that was on there decided to fall apart in my hands as i was taking them off- really poor quality whatever they were- all i can tell you is they were black!! To be fair if you can afford the red leads are top notch quality, just a shame i couldnt source them elsewhere cheaper...
