hey all im after someone in melbourne that has experience with heads
preferably with vr6 heads
hopefully budgeting for about a grand to get it done
iv recently bought some parts
268 cams
light lifters
hd springs
2mm oversized intake valves
1.8mm mm oversized exhaust valves
and all the rest:biggrin:
oh and a second hand head from loon with which i will be purchasing very soon
basically im after the maximum potential the head has to offer with reliability
dude i just ordered pretty much the same stuff.
a little different though, 262 cams, 2mm oversized intake and exhaust valves, and all otehr replacables.
i was thinking of using HeadFix. they said with all parts supplied they can rebuild, install cams, bigger valves and port and polish for about $1000. might wanna check them out.
they were recommended to me by a guy i work with who used to own Volkscare, he's had all his head work done there and he's got race and drag cars and stuff so i suppose they'll know what they are doing.
they sounded like they had done some things with these heads before and they were helpful when talking to them too. maybe give them a call 97293380 and see what you think of them

I'm getting mine done at the moment by a guy in sydney ohh so good!
the fact that people are really puttin some money/time into vr's makes me happy!
in america everyone's got some hotted up vr or 1.8t, but there's hardly any here per capita like there is over there. good to see its becoming more and more frequently seen!

cheers guys where abouts are headfix located?
i may go to box hill il see how it all pans out
but il be getting the intake mani matched
and also a bigger throttle body
im not sure where headfix are located, but ferntree gully rings a bell. google them should be able to find them.
i might give that group in box hill a call too and see how they go price wise and experience wise as well. gotta keep an open mind, and if they've had more experiance then they would be the better option

RG Bakers have done some VR6's.
They have done my 8v head, my 1200 and all my fathers work! He used to work there some 25 years ago. Did every Walkinshaw head as there was a floor in the factory machining. Thats how dad saved up to buy his first Mk1.
nice dude sounds like the go then:google:Quote:
