That's a nice steering wheel. I really loved that wheel. Wondered where it ended up!

How many VR6's were sold in the UK?
VR6Pete replied to VR6Pete's topic in Frequently Asked Questions
So, 10 years later numbers have dropped quite considerably and makes me feel quite sad. Here's a quick screen dump of popular models from How Many Left ! Full list of how many left are here: https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?page=1&q=VR6 Discuss. -
VR6 Rusted, coolant, pipe, flange, input thing?
VR6Pete replied to J.J.'s topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Alright chaps. Take a look - there is no part number first of all. There are a few options with this. 1) Just clean it up - more than likely surface rust anyway unless its penetrated the metal! of course you would need to ensure debris doesn't fall within the coolant channels and would need flushing out. 2) replace with an AN fitting. 3) remove and press a new pipe in - from what I understand they were not designed to be replaced so not worth the haste. 4) get another head where the pipe is in a better condition - they are cheap -

I believe places like Pirtek may be able to help to make one up -
Wow that's stunning. Always had a soft spot for a mk1

I'm sure it could win a lot of shows again! someone needs to buy this and keep it in the club! Mark - have you ever thought of buying another VR6 that isn't so full on show mode? I hate to say it, something a bit more practical!

Hi @VR6Addict Welcome to the community! What questions have you got in relation to the tuning?
-
VR6 gearboxes should be able take 300 BHP all day long... of course could be a few different things and seems a broad statement to say gearbox has gone... You are best removing the box, but can pick them up cheap enough second hand and DIY job to replace. I would be checking out the clutch fork first of all as they are prone to crack resulting in similar symptoms to that you have reported. Would always recommend a rebuild if possible and replace those troublesome diff rivets with ARP bolts - you know where you are with a rebuild, but with any second hand box

For the first time in my life I thought I would tighten my belt - if you ask @VR6CABBS or @Dave_ciw then I'm tighter than scrooge at Christmas! So far I've managed to save; £21/month by switching my energy tariff with my current energy provider. £15/month by calling sky and removing Cinema from my package - I will be calling them again in a few weeks to complain it is still too much and looking to cancel unless they can further reduce monthly payments. I will be looking at setting up a second bank account for my monthly direct debits to come out of s

VR6's are used in many applications, however this is probably the best one yet Behold a VR6 (3.6 Liter) in a Linde Fork lift - limited to around 90BHP. What other weird and wacky applications have you seen the VR6 used in?

My car eats Coilpacks- any ideas?
VR6Pete replied to noggin's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Well that's a result then [emoji1] I have magnecor leads and recommend them. Had them for 8 years but they were originally off my mk3 so much older. I did send them off to magnecor for repair after they were damaged from my crash at the Nurburgring. They have been great since. Pete -
