Joe M 0 Posted April 29, 2003 If you dont mind me asking, what happened to cause the damage? What brakes are you running behind the speedlines to cope with the power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 29, 2003 The speedlines were put on after the crash, std brakes are ok 'till you stop a few times then you get break fade, but 312mm or 320mm discs with 4pot brembo's are to go on. I pulled out to see past roadwork barriers and an old couple in a Corsa hit me from the side, they said they were doing 40mph before they braked, the skid marks were only 6foot long! Went to see it today, should be getting it back tomorrow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 29, 2003 Was very upset, think there was a little tear, it's been 6months since i crashed and i've not been the same since! My mate Paul who had C6 SVR first will prob take me up to get it maybe 2moro. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2cc 0 Posted April 30, 2003 Ouch. Chris, are those security plates on the door handle? Any chance of a close up photo? What do u think of them? I've not seen em on a rado b4 & thought they might look crap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 30, 2003 2CC, Don't have a close up of them, just have to zoom in using ACDSee. What do you think of the look? Chris VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tsembi 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Chris did someone have a go on your handles, coz i only used to put them on golfs once someone has had a go with a screwdriver to hide the damage. With golfs anyway if you put them on before and someone tried to get into the car it would just end up with more damageto the door. They dont look bad at all, though ppl who dont like them could always paint them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted May 2, 2003 I think they look ok. No, the door was undamaged and only put the plates on to deter w*****s from having a go! Chris, with my VR6 back now, but the water falls out the bottom now! :cry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stormseeker 0 Posted August 15, 2003 And your car's changed colour and reg too! (I'm guessing by the reg that it's the legendary "chargedup Storm" ???) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted August 15, 2003 Indeed, that is Guy's slightly-mental Storm with Vortech s/c and Schrik manifold thingy. And Climatronic - which looks cool in the flesh! (Pun not intended) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted August 27, 2003 I think Guy and me are the only two with the new Vortech chargers on VR6s in the UK! so the UK distributor tells us! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted February 27, 2004 New bit for my ever hungry VR. Just came this morning. Quite sexy, thought it was hard plastic(the red bit) but it's squidgy rubbery stiff :-D Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted February 27, 2004 You know, Transform are doing quite a good deal at the moment :) Yip, it's a VR front engine mount fron VF-engineering. Getting some powerflex bushes, full kit at the end of this week should look nice in purple! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted February 27, 2004 Chris where did you get your supercharger from? I may be looking for one myself towards the end of this year to go my v^ 4motin Corrado creation. How much didit cost if you dont mind me asking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted February 28, 2004 CoxyLaad, I'll keep this one brief 'cos it's been asked and answered lots on here. It's a Vortech V9fsq charger from NS-Racing in Edgeware & the cost to you is £2500 supply only, i believe Stealth fit them for £500 or was it £300? not sure but i fitted it along with my friend one day and it's transformed the drive of the already good VR6. Drop me a PM if you want to know anything in more detail :) Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
