VR6 Vento, well almost

[Jmac]

Thanks. I wasn't worried I was just interested. I assume the Konis and lowered springs that I bought when I had the VR are still on it.

Im sure you werent worried , only as part of my speech mate, So many issues found with the Koni installs its not funny mate, its a shocker, brake hoses rubbing etc and loose nuts and bolts, dont know if it had been looked at after the install but im only saying it as i see it, not good the list goes on, anyway itll be tight where its going.

Interesting. It was all kosher when I had it. Graeme and I bought the kits together when we both had VR's. I think there have been 3 owners since I had it. As I recall it had around 180,000k's on it when I sold it.

Nice to see this vento bound for greatness, when I saw it first it was in some tall-ish grass on someones front lawn and they didn't know it was rare

Great project! When I changed my CL to disk rear end, I used a vr6 rear beam (because it has a built in stiffener, and the one in my CL didnt). But had it not been for that, I would simply have swapped over the stub axles. Apart from that stiffening rod, I couldnt see any difference.... just incase the Vento one has that stiffener.

Yeah I reckon the Vento rear beam is the same width and swaybar spec as VR6 Jimmy. You could just swop the disks and be done

Nice to see a Vento VR6 conversion hapenning mate. Real sleeper thats for sure.

Keep at it

Yeah im sure thats correct after checking the specs, ill swap over the stubs too. Yeah it would have been finished if it wasnt for backlog and unexpected hospital visit , ah well. Should be fun when all done. Ill get a spot in my diary soon i hope.

Hi mate, any further on with the conversion? i'm interested in your progress as i have just aquired a Vento with engine trouble and was considering dropping in a vr6.

was wondering if you could give a basic run-down of modifications necessary

Spring rate is different. Had the konis on the back with the eibachs out of the golf and it sat riiiiight down at the back, has coilovers now. Alex had the same issue with the heavier back end of his cabby. So the front shocks and springs you bought are on that red colourconcept behind the vento, the back springs on the cab and back struts were damaged after a mate raged a bit much with a rattle gun.

Just for some closure, this car is finished, running, RWCed, insured and registered. Safely, legally, and let's hope reliably.

Here she is...
