    This is the bonnet and side fender after a good wax job - spent the last weekend, giving her a proper cut, polish and wax...took the whole of sunday afternoon, but so worth it.

    Clean VR6s are coming out of hiding! Car looks good - even better with some lowering!

    Just wondering, how's the light output of those Mk5 look-alike headlights?

    I got 8000k bulbs in them. They are pretty bright and have a nice xenon look to them, not like a dead blue look. The strip at the bottom is the parkers, they look pretty good just leaving them on :p

    Nice looking exhaust tips Tristan.

    Who supplied your Remus system and what were the costs?

    Did you ship the system in from OS?

    Regards,

    Syd.

    I don't know the name of the place off heart, but i'll take a look through my 'VR6 File' tomorrow and let you know. It was done locally, in Brisbane.

    Hey Tristan
    Great sample of a VR you have there, i was looking at your headlights very nice. do you know if they come with a crystal backing, as-apposed to black?

    How much did your GIAC ECU set you back?

    Hey BlueVR6, yeah you can get them with the "chrome" look. The GIAC chip cost me $300, got it from a mate overseas who had it on his VR6.

    Thanks mate. Yeah, would definitely love to hear a rough idea of cost.
    I'm considering upgrading to a Remus system. Did you go with the Remus Centre Resonator (suitcase) or a race pipe?

    Mines 2 1/4" straight from the cat, just into a remus back box. It's not too loud suprisingly, but still has a nice VR6 note to it.

    Got the backbox for $180, the cat back piping was $160. Remus backbox was from the UK, the rest of the system was installed by Rob Bliss Performance Exhausts in Geebung (Highly Recommended)
