    Oh yessssssss.
    And every bump or bang could be a major issue. But for the last bit of the journey you regain confidence and the peddle hits the metal.

    Check this guy out for a short shifter. Well worth the money if you can send him yours.

    That's the least of my worries dude. I was more concerned about it turning the wheels and taking me home. I had visions of going off road on the A1M and sending a pic to you of me upside down on my roof.
    Yes the bush was a mystery pal. How the f**k it ended up at the back of that pallet beats me.

    VR6CABBS reacted to Dave_ciw in How long have you owned your VR6?   
    Bought my first in 2007. Joined the club not long after. It was a more door dusky mauve with 250k Miles



    I had a few others in between but don't have any pictures. Until I got onto my favourite one I have owned. The Dragon Green one!



    Sold it on a whim like a right stupid muppet! Then tried to replace it a couple of months later with a Mullberry Highline more door!





    This one just didn't come close. Had no time or love for this one unfortunately. So it got broke for parts as I had removed the engine and box to do some work and lost interest.

    This led me onto my current whip which I had no intentions of buying but Rob had looked after the car so well and offered me at a bargain price. So I bought it. Fact is I have owned 7 personally and it would appear no matter what I buy, be it more powerful or better looking. Nothing I have drove is anywhere near as enjoyable as the 12v VR.

    UPDATE

    So i have been getting back stuck into this build again.

    Managed to get hold of pair of power steering pipes, which took me almost a month to get hold of! Not exactly rare parts either. But thanks to another forum member on here, i got one

    Gave em a clean, sand and degrease. Then i coated them in underseal, not a show stopping finish but its presentable, durable and hopefully wont rust!

    VR6CABBS reacted to bennyk in 96 vr6 1st ever project build thread,   
    So today I did something that I didn't particularly want to do, but clearly I'm now to far into this show and scene bull crap so I did it!
    Notched my drivers side chassis as when I air out the front of the car sat higher on the drivers side, due to the driveshaft sitting on the chassis, here's how I did it;
    Marked it up;
    Cut the hole ready for a bit of 3" pipe;
    Started to weld it up before cutting off the bottom half,
    Got it all welded up, which was bloody awkward on the back half due to there being a VR6 in the way!
    Grinded down;
    Prepped, primered then stoneguarded
    Painted in good old flash red I got made in an aerosol;
    Suspension and brakes bolted back up
    So now she airs out without sitting on the driveshaft and sits nice and level
