This is the bonnet and side fender after a good wax job - spent the last weekend, giving her a proper cut, polish and wax...took the whole of sunday afternoon, but so worth it.

Clean VR6s are coming out of hiding! Car looks good - even better with some lowering!

Just wondering, how's the light output of those Mk5 look-alike headlights?

[OzVR6]

I got 8000k bulbs in them. They are pretty bright and have a nice xenon look to them, not like a dead blue look. The strip at the bottom is the parkers, they look pretty good just leaving them on :p

Nice looking exhaust tips Tristan.

Who supplied your Remus system and what were the costs?

Did you ship the system in from OS?

Regards,

Syd.

I don't know the name of the place off heart, but i'll take a look through my 'VR6 File' tomorrow and let you know. It was done locally, in Brisbane.

Hey Tristan
Great sample of a VR you have there, i was looking at your headlights very nice. do you know if they come with a crystal backing, as-apposed to black?

How much did your GIAC ECU set you back?

[OzVR6]

Hey BlueVR6, yeah you can get them with the "chrome" look. The GIAC chip cost me $300, got it from a mate overseas who had it on his VR6.

Thanks mate. Yeah, would definitely love to hear a rough idea of cost.
I'm considering upgrading to a Remus system. Did you go with the Remus Centre Resonator (suitcase) or a race pipe?

[OzVR6]

Mines 2 1/4" straight from the cat, just into a remus back box. It's not too loud suprisingly, but still has a nice VR6 note to it.

Got the backbox for $180, the cat back piping was $160. Remus backbox was from the UK, the rest of the system was installed by Rob Bliss Performance Exhausts in Geebung (Highly Recommended)

Nice little car you have there the schrick will set you back a little penny, if people are keen to get rid of it, and there aren't many that have them 2 that I know of.

[tassie_euro_mk1]

very nice car buddy.

i like those headlights. im liking these VR's that are poping up everywhere

i have a remus system as well. it comprised of about 3 or 4 mufflers lol. still sounds loud but not too loud. still got pulled over for undue noise tho hahaha..."too throty" apparently

Here's some snaps I took yesterday...

Lovely VR6, my favourite colour for the MK3, even more than Dragon Green!

[V®6]

That looks almost the exact same as my VR6, except different mags

hey mate what profile are your tyres ? they are not the standard 205/55 are they , they look bigger, if so it will throw out your gearing and make you accell slower. might just be the photos tho ?
cheers brenton
