    VR6 update

    My VR6 has been off the road for almost a year. I ran out of patience with repeated coilpack issues, coolant and the aircon failed. Seemed to be burning the cash and then a few months later something else went wrong and another coil pack failed. Wasn't driving it that much either.

    I resisted selling as I love this model and then decided to have go a fixing it myself.

    Tried the epoxy fix on the coilpack and that didn't work, so bought a new one on eBay for $240



    Bought some tools torx spanners and installed my coil pack and it worked VR6 update

    Even gave her a wash



    Now I want to do the air box mod and maybe will be inspired to do more

    Am in based in Elsternwick - SE melbourne.

    Did the airbox mod. Cut out two rectangle shapes so as I could always glue back if required. See photo below



    Had trouble removing the internal pipe in the airbox so left that in. Does it make any difference?



    Also bought a K&N filter and net result seemed to be much smoother acceleration and better noise over 3500rpm.
