VR6_Absy 0 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 About time i posted an update, things been moving slowly but steadily.Sorted out induction, position of auxilary coolant pump and coolant pipes etc very happy with the layout. Looks as it shouldWiring, ECU, Exhaust manifold should be back in the next week or twoEngine is stripped out for cleaning and paintingEngine bay has been thoroughly cleaned and all unnecessary bits removedBIGGEST news is that i've fitted the DBW pedal today ... Whoop whoopIt's in exactly the same position and alignment as the VR pedal, really chuffed. Will take some pics of how i did it as it will be really useful to those thinking of this conversion in the future.All coming together now with a clear way forward and the end is insight Link to post Share on other sites

VR6_Absy 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I got my man to cut off all the studs etc and give it a lick of paint, really pleased with the outcome. It's not normal paint, can't be used externally but was possible to gun and the result is stunning Link to post Share on other sites
