  1. Exactly.

    I know the chains are MEANT to last the life of the car but they do 1) stretch and 2) CAN break.

    I wasnt saying you dont care about your car but I would do it without a second thought, the work gone into changing the tensioners you may as well do the chains as well thats all im saying,

    I would rather wait another week, get the chains and then not have to worry about doing them in the future.

    By the way the R32 tensioners are meant to be much better, they last longer.

  2. So many mods that look crap... and you should not in any way shape or form abuse the VR6, they are quality cars and putting cheap crappy mods on them

    1) lowers the value,

    2) brings down the whole quality of the model, not just that one car

    3) makes the other owners of those cars look silly (what kind of person do you think of when you think Saxo??? :) )

    4) wastes a lot of money

    5) keeps rip-speed in business...

    Only personal opinion but I can not stand badly modded cars when the quality of the car demands more, I can understand it on a saxo, I can understand it when you are young but if you dont have the money to buy a quality car and mod that car tastefully then you shouldnt really try to mod it until you have the money for proper/tasteful mods.

    No hating/hatin just personal opinion.

  3. Oh I hate

    big crazy spikey bumpers.. Gold /silver Mesh.. Poor wheel to arch aliment. Masive tail wails. Bonnit scoops' date=' Crap body kits, Lexus lights, Thin rims, Number plates, cars that arn't low. hectic flip 2 tone paint. Over the top fiber glass ice/sub installs, neon lights. more lights than needed.. Colour coded dash.

    If it hasn't got any of the above id probaly like it

    Dont like too much then.... :)

    I agree 100% though!!

  4. Some say the chains are for the life of the engine, others say change them at about 100,000, I have had several VR's, one of them sitting on 175,000miles, the chain had never been done nor the tensioners, I changed the tensioners as they were wearing through and didnt bother with the chains, I never had a problem with it to be honest although looking back I probably should have changed them considering the work that went into changing the tensioners and the actual chain doesnt cost that much at all.

    It is usually the top tensioner the rubs through rather than the bottom tensioner.

    Whilst you are getting that done I would get the clutch changed too as the gearbox needs to come out to change the lower tensioner and the chain/chains.

  5. sounds like a nightmare, I dont know how you would get a drill in there to begin drilling it out, not much space...

    Mine both came out without any issues at all on both of my recent VR's, just to rub it in, but I have never heard of them being that hard to get out...

    I know you can get tools that will bite into what is left of the bolt or nut once it has been rounded off/out. I would try that first but sounds like someone has had a powerbar on it!!! :)
