dubzdreadz 2 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 ok so i have a rare model...how do i find out about part numbers etc?whats worrying me is that the whole car isnt standard vr6...the engine is nothelle and scotts styled the interior, running gear etc...soooo....what do i do to find out essentials like what break discs n pads...or for the engine hoses etc??i dont want to do anything to her until i know exactly what i need and certainly dont want to make the mistake of just assuming she shares the same parts as the normal vr6....any advice/suggestions would be greatly accepted- i have elsawin but dont think somehow her engine etc will be on there!! (though am going to check now!) Link to post Share on other sites

eastwood john 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 maybe get in tough with previous owner, Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Obviously the engine won't be on there as it is a tuner modified item. The best bet would be to side by side it with a standard vr to see what they share. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I would have thought coolant hoses are the same, brakes maybe once you've measured the disc diameter an thickness, but the internals of the engine might be different. Eg the pistons maybe slightly different, but it might use the same size gudgen pin, same standard size big an main bearings etc.But as said, a side by side comparison would help identify the similarities.

dubzdreadz 2 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 thank you paul...i was tending towards the hoses etc bein the same but am new to the mechanical world so wasnt sure if the re-boring and re-honing nothelle did wld affect these parts or whether its just the engine block, gearbox n styling that wld b different?

bungy 2 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think you'll find it will share a lot of components as it would be impossible to maintain or fix if it was all one offs. Link to post Share on other sites
