Mk3 Mods..whats been done to yours?

[MattyT]

My mods are in my sig, but heres a list of the shape of things to come:

Colour code headlights to body colour
Fix stereo (improve mid-bass & bass response + relocate tweeters to door pods + dynamat doors)
DBA slotted rotors + Ferodo DS 2500s (F&R)
Dieselgeek short shifter
Black glovebox for passenger side
New foot pedals
Sway + Strut bars
Remus zorst system
Kamei Air intakes (colour coded)
Hella Mini Xenon Driving lights
Upgrade alarm/immobilser
New rims + new tires - probably 17s with high-end rubber

Not sure if i'll bother with much in the engine bay.

May also get alot of the leather refreshed, especially the drivers seat which is beginning to look pretty tired.

On my 95 VR6 I have,

17" Diablos with Falken Ziexs
Eibach Springs
Bilstein Shocks
K&N Pod with dodgy home made bracket
Pioneer head unit with Ipod
Hertz splits
JL 10" boxed sub

Future Mods:

Possible Future Mods:
Depending on $$$ maybe an EIP bolt on hairdryer kit

P.S. Bombsquad, where did you get your Angel Eyes from and do you have any pics with them installed?

Why did you remove the child anchor bar? I always thought it worked like a rear strut brace? But it does get in the way..a lot!

[DubSteve]

Yeah kind of, I like to think its work like that anyway lol

[ScienceVR6]

yeah, i used to pretend it worked as a strut brace, but after seeing its construction and mountings, i decided it got in the way too often. And it weighed like 1.5kg.
