    I guess another VR6!

    Man everybody seems to be getting mk3 vr6's at this stage.

    I have owned mine for little over a month.
    This is what it looked like when i got it.


    Which i have already had to replace pretty much all of the front suspension parts bar the shock and spring and lower control arm. All bushes and even spring tophat as it had a big tear of metal missing and also assembled wrong so metal was half way worn thru. Phew i managed to fix it and get onto it quickly.

    However i have now decided to replace the heater core as it's broken.
    well 1.5 hours and this what my car looks like now.


    But did not have spline kit so thats where I ended up.
    Will continue tonight so should have the whole car back together by midnight. lol

    Should be getting thermostat and housing including all O rings tomorrow. So can then fix the water leak. Also the Air by pass valve on the Cam cover blow by, also broken so will be fixing that too, should be getting that part hopefully in the next two weeks. Once this is all done, i can re gas the aircon.

    Then hopefully all will be well.

    Will also be pulling the intake system off in the next few days, it might even be tomorrow. Hopefully have some pics on the way too. I know everyone always like photos. Getting the Cam cover powder coated and maybe the intake too. or polished, but will look into both. Hopefully by this stage it should be all good.

    Once my Coilpack starts giving issue's. I'll replace it with some MSD ignition coils and new leads, hopefully the car will be even better. lol
    I think this is about it at this stage.

    Welcome, wow there's no better experience with a new car than having to tackle changing the heater core straight away and the suspension.

    Yeah man you're nuts! I'd love to do mine but it's a daily so if I screw it up or take my time I can't go anywhere unless I take someone else's car lol..

    haha thanks guys,

    Mr Mickey my car too is a daily, however no heater and no aircon, make for one very hot/cold drive around. lol

    If you start early enough on a saturday morning, you will have the car back together again in the evening.

    Or if you really want, buy me a plain ticket and i'll come help you over the weekend.
