If you want..you can "sponsor" me and I will rave on about how good they are!

Holy shmokes batman! You don't hang around, awesome work!
Good feeling getting all that crap out of the cooling system too hey

[jono0309]

Thanks for the comments

Yeah it was great to do this huge job, but its been very good for me to learn more about cars, so even though I loathe the heatercore swap, it was good in a way as it challenged me. Yeah the old heatercore bits were swimming around all over the place, flushed it out twice for a very long time and now the coolant is perfect.

hey mate

stupid question, is there any special sort of plug to use in the vr6's one of mine blew and i need to replace it, and can you get the NGK's from SuperCheap etc..?

Cheers

Also if your heater core ****s out again, bypass HC before coolant goes in/out of those two pipes in the engine bay, i did it on mine 3 years ago havnt had a problem since,

not like we need heaters in sydney anyway

[jono0309]

Thats what most people do, bypass the heatercore, its simple but you dont have heating anymore. I live on the coast so in the winter we get crippling sea breezes etc, so I would like to retain the heatercore. Your lazy if you dont change it, its only a dash out job, it does take time but it saves you $1000 in labour.

Sounds like your young by the sounds of your username, so use google, find the NGK Australia website, go to spark plugs available on their site, type in the car you have and you'll get an answer!

Yeh same but I park in a garage so it doesn't really effect me, plus only use it for Uni not to many early mornings.

Cheers I'll check the plugs out.

[jono0309]

Not much to report really, still running perfect as ever.
Just deciding whether to put new coilovers in, strip it, build it and track it.
Hmmm...decisions.
Also looking at buying a new motor for it, maybe an R32 Mk5 motor, whats involved in doing a swap like that?
Cheers.
