  1. @megadodo I see your VR6 12v never made it into your kit car, what was the project/what car were you trying to put it into? What stopped you and what did you use instead? Asking because we have just pulled a 24v VR6 out of a Galaxy and will be putting it into an Aeon GT2. I haven't found anyone who has got a VR6 into a kit car yet so would love to hear what happened.

      No matter how hard I tried I couldn't source the parts I needed to do the conversion to rear wheel drive for a reasonable sum with any level of confidence it would work, I was looking at well over a thousand quid for it all. I've currently got a V6 Mondeo engine and a Jag 6 speed box that just bolt together and are ready to drop in for under £500 the lot! Just need the time to do it! Being a self employed mechanic means I have no time for my own cars! I do have a Mark 4 VR6 Four motion behind my garage being brought back to life (slowly)so I haven't dumped the VR6 love quite yet! Are you posting the Aeon on any forums, I'd love to see it!

      Thanks, guessing that's the Duratec V6. They have been used in a number of Aeon's too. Are you building a 7 style car, westfield or similar? We are early stages, chassis painting and suspension work on the actual build and getting the loom out of the galaxy. We are going to start writing for the running reports section of Complete Kit Car. We haven't started posting online about the project yet but likely will do. We are planning to strip the VR6 down, do forged bottom end, cams/valves/springs and stay NA to start with so will no doubt be coming here with loads of dumb questions. We are total amateurs really, lots of ideas and enthusiasm but limited skills. We're learning fast!
