[DVR68U]

went on the sydney cruze on the weekend and had a good time driving with some other mk2s

just a quick update , i changed my engine mounts to some vf engineering mk3 mounts , only have the front and trans mount in atm. wow massive difference deff worth the money . everything feels so much better now, shifting bumps accel braking, recommended for any vr6's out there

[Jarred]

[Mk3 AAA]

Big fan of this car, love the Mk2, and the AAA engine. I also went the BFI mounts on the VR and they made a massive difference... smoothed it out nicely.

I've watched 'Mk2 VR6 take off' on youtube probably a billion times, I'm sure you've seen it but if not have a look and enjoy that low down grumble that only the dirty old 12 valves get. Mmmmm.

hey guys just thought id update, i swapped out my rad for a brand new one and at the same time put on a set of twin 3 speed fans of 16v seat. with a bit of mods to the shroud it fits when you run a mk3 vr6 rad in the front position where the air con normally goes.
I wasnt getting any over heating problems with my old setup of a mod'd mk1 shroud and slimline fan running straight of the thermo switch. but had these bits so i made it better.
cheers

another update, still running well. i ported out my exhaust manifold and down pipe, after many hrs of die grinding and getting welders burn its back together and has a new found willingness to pull further up into the revs. considering next a 2.9l clone manifold.
