Cheers Tom,

 

Was good to see you on the weekend. Your was looking awesome going down the quarter mile.

Right, little update on the VR. Turns out the guy who had it before me decided not to tighten up the bolts on the front calipers after changing the pads. Nice suprise when I took off the wheels.

 

Water pump has been changed now. Whilst it was being done I find out that the front engine mount was completely loose!

 

Anyway its sound now. MOT today!

Looking good Mike. 8) 8)

Hope the MOT goes ok and you get to start enjoying the driving experience :D

Not really the worst mate and relatively cheap fixes. :wink:

 

I always check all my lights before going for an MOT ,I just hate to think that the car fails on something as simple as a bulb out :( :(

[Flexso 0]

yeah I dont know why I didnt check them. But then again I was pretty busy aquiring two new tires, a windscreen etc :lol:

 

I wonder how long the list would of been if I put it through the MOT the day after I bought it! :D

[Flexso 0]

little update. Car is in as we speak for it retest. fingers crossed. In the the meantime after the maiden head meet, I thought it was time to smarten up the engine bay.

 

What do you think? It a work in progress at the mo.

Nice car! Good work with the engine covers- soooo much better 8)

[Brooksie 0]

anyone no a good place to get the engine covers for my vr6 as my ones are a bit battered as the fella who had it before me didnt give her tlc :cuckoo:

[PROVR6 0]

Theres usually some on here, ed38 and good ol flea bay. I had one that was really badly stained and sprayed it metallic silver and it looks really good.

Looking good Mike, those covers really freshen up the bay, but you need to polish your inlet manifold! :D

 

Money pit is right, it seems like every time I get into mine something goes. Latest is a bulb in the clocks... :brickwall:

Cheers mate,

 

Well the inlet is actually prob gonna be powder coated. I have some funky ideas for the engine to make it stand out a bit, so watch this space. Also thought the breather on the rocker cover was a nice touch.

 

More photos of progress coming :D

[tombell999 0]
