Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi rich, welcome to the vr elite. We don't talk to anyone with less than 6 cylinders really, unless they're hopeful of being a vr owner! Get some pics up mate, is it an early or a late one?

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Mm, does the car have a distributor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 no,a power pack on rh side(as you look at motor)with the 6 ht leads coming out.. Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 what I will do is get a few pics up and a good check out of stuff so a id can be done...i haven't really looked at it much since getting it but will do this weekend. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 no,a power pack on rh side(as you look at motor)with the 6 ht leads coming out.. Glad there's 6 leads, or else you'd have been had over by the seller!! Sounds like an obd2 but could be the crossover version?!

boab3 164 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'm sure the anniversary clocks only do 140mph rather than the vr doing 160mph Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I don't think 4cyl clocks work very well on the vr, the Rev counter doesn't run in sync whatsoever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk D11PS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 haha,,yep the rev counter doesn't work properly so think I will go for the clocks from lilfuzzer on here (cheers chap).so glad there's 6 leads coming out power pack or iwouldn't be happy!!!!.need to know if a mk4 parcel shelf will fit mk3??

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Nothing like a good bit of ebaying!!!! Car looks pretty good too. What made you decide to put it back to standard? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 cheers,well its pretty standard anyway,just has a 57i kit and full stainless exhaust,but don't want the k+n as I've had em before and there nothing but hassle,but it does go well so I will put the standard airbox back on,see if its better,,if not ill put the cone filter on or sell it....the alloys can stay but I think there's a buckle in one or two,so will maybe go for another set,but not standard ones,,they're horrid!!!.found a scrapper same colour as mine down scrapyard,but not vr6,,got lovely doors on it..mine has rust on both,but only a patch on each,so will get those doors I guess...its costing as I look deeper!!also got today front discs.pads.frobt/rear brake hoses...few bits n bobs Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Once you get on top of the wear and tear, it'll be a bit more of a pleasure to own. Have you thought about Swiss cheesing the air box? You get the induction roar when you start getting up the Rev range a bit, but defo not the same as an open cone. What sort of wheels do you fancy? Oz super t's or rotas or what? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk D11PS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rich 40 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 not thought of swissing the box yet,does it help at all??.havent thought about alloys yet but I like multi spoke designs so will see what's about..whats the biggest I can get away with without catching arches??16?17!!.anyone got any for sale!!.got the airbox coming next week,just bought front discs/hoses/belts/ few other bits n bobs...going to put new wishbones/bushes etc on front and back,,,sort the brakes as 2 are sticking on(car was laid up for a while)...just general maintenance etc..hopefully will be ok!!
