Re: Project B4 Vr6 estate

Glad it's all coming together, it did have a new abs sensor on the rear passenger side and before it got parked up it was all as it should be brake wise maybe it's just the speed rings that need a clean ? Really pleased it's back on the road with someone who appreciates what a beast it is and is goi...

Re: engine convertion

Your probably not fussed mate but your converting the last uk vr6 auto that would be a keeper for me as it is, especially since its got a good auto box, also im pretty sure the auto box is only good for the ecu the b3 has, they seemed to have a bad habit in the 90s of making very few interchangeable...

Re: b3 2.0 tuning?

This has been covered once or twice before but the 2e 2ltr is not a very good engine to tune you can't do much more than a decent filter in a semi drilled air box and a stainless other than that it's pointless as the amount you need to spend on them it's better to dump the lump for something else th...
