hi mate what part did you use in the headlight?

 

on my previous vr's ive just ran a air duct from the fog light area which did work but the pipeing used was really small in order to clear the fan belt. yours is perfect as i wouldnt have any clearing issues and can use a bigger diameter pipeing for more air and looks oem and is of course very practical!!!!

Hi,

I got myself a pipercross viper induction kit it the metal cold air intake cake with that but this is a link to get the cold air intake alone

http://www.pipercross.net/pipercross-75mm-silver-cold-air-feed-vc003_p24037348.htm

It only comes in silver so I sprayed it myself.

Hope that helps.

This is just for track only it would not pass a mot because it doesn't have a cat but realistically insurance would be expensive and it will run about 10 mpg, I've never weighed it yet but adding a rollcage is heavy so it would actually be interesting to know the weight now if you are using the car for road use then weight reduction should not be a worry for you.

hahahaha

 

but yeh the weight for me makes the most sense for the power to weight. ive searched for ages but cant really find a difinitive answer about people actually weight lost and whats been removed because like you said and many others have added back in things that cancels out the max weight loss lol.

 

luckily for me ive got a mate with a weighing in scale so when i start my project ill weight it before any work then after. would be really interesting tbh because im looking to do a full exhaust incuding 6branch full interior strip apart from 2 front seats, een door cards like yours but not carbon fibre probaly foam board and make my own, so should be interesting. 

 

so hopefully power goes up slightly and weight goes down win win for this heavy lump lol 

 

thats the main issue though isnt it the weight

well ive had like 5 vr6's but never kept them for longer than 6months did the quick coilovers making it shiny full exhaust but never really put any time into one so hopefully going to keep this one and try make it my last and make it my own as certain things were always done to the ones ive always one.

 

also there becoming very rare arnt they so uno not bad of a fun investment

yeh i think if its a home diy then ill probably look into it next year, as i know my vr6 needs a lot a maintenence work, i.e servicing fluid changes brakes suspension bushes anything mechanical, just basically make sure the car is restored mechanically, then the bigger stuff timing chain and cams at the same time as i believe the clutch was replaced couple years back.
