daveyboy reacted to bennyk in 96 vr6 1st ever project build thread,
A little update to this after nearly 3 years of taking it easy on the slightly iffy clutch, one of the reasons I got it so cheap but changing the bushes on the pedal made it a lot better and 2 years of having a gearbox fitted with a Quaife diff lying around in my shed I finally gave in and got a new clutch and the other box into the car. I cleaned painted and changed all of the seals on it a while ago, Then decided to just get it done on the drive as I'd be waiting forever to get a spare ramp at work and I hate being there when I don't have to beSome shiny new parts, Got this one to try to help me but he was as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike when it came to lifting the gearbox back in!! Then after finally getting the box back in for the 2nd time don't ask! On the Saturday afternoon before the VR6oc rolling road day on the Sunday it all worked!! She drove perfectly on the way to Stealth on the Sunday morning, a nice clear A14 on a nice bright morning ; She ran a slightly disappointing 279bhp due to some belt slip, but good to know there's a bit more in her! Was really stoked to pick up Mod's car of the day! So nice to get some recognition for the car after all the hours I've put into it. Especially after originally buying it as a spares or repairs slightly rough old thing from eBay! Thanks guys!!
Then today over 2 years of driving the VR and with missus only ever being in the car once since being back on the road after the repaint and me getting it stuck on a slight raised row of cobbles backing out of the inlaws driveway when she did finally come in it! I persuaded her to come with me to the Autofinesse Show & Shine which was conveniently only 10 mins from where we live and in a lovely old pub in a pretty village, I turned up a bit late and because we'd brought the little one with us had to leave early, but as I went to make a move I was asked to wait for 10 minutes and to my and the other halfs surprise (she just doesn't get it!) I'd won something! Which happened to be 1st place!! Won't need to buy any cleaning gear for a while now!!

daveyboy reacted to Bealieboy in BBC New Top Gear - Thoughts
Why don't we go to the Beeb with the vr6oc version of top gear?
We all think we know about cars, Mistline likes drifting, we've all got the banter game off pat, hvr6 could be our Sabine Schmidt!!!
I'd actually pay money to watch the likes of Cabbs on a European road trip to southern Spain in a £1500 Porsche or worse!!!
What do you guys reckon?!

I have just had a look and I think I will book family and bring my caravan and truck! Here's another bloody bombshell my eldest daughter is going to stay with friends in Australia for 5 weeks and arrives back on the Saturday!! I will have to drop caravan and VR off early doors Saturday then unhitch the caravan from my truck and leave for Manchester about 2pm and grab the daughter! She will be well happy all that flying and jet lag! Straight to a car show hahaha

Just a quick one the club stand is back on folks. We need 10 cars for the stand preferably for both Saturday and Sunday. We need to make sure we fill the stand as the organisers have made an exception for us

Cabbs, please don't confuse my oil burner with that dreadful flower pot, there's no way that mini is as powerful as my genuine vw golf van, as easy on the eye or as rare. (21 left on the rd,59 sorn)
In fact, I reckon the van could produce into the double figures whilst carrying your lunch bag, yer chunky little begger!!

Reading on google........ It seems this maybe an issue ben and whilst driving at high speed with your 6b wrapped in a Chinese style wadding it may go brittle and fall off leaving no protection and causing a under bonnet fire. @Bealieboy you should drive no faster than 15mph for the first 3000 miles and then at no more than 40mph for a further 10000 miles.
But all should be well if you keep your speed down @Bealieboy
Maybe you should leave on Saturday evening and you'll be there in good time on Sunday morning.
PS. Do you have "AGREED VAUATION" on your insurance policy????
