Yes. Haha. The VR fiasco.

I was just curious, I vaguely remember reading some of the fuss about the brand. Also, what is the nearest biggest city to Fall City...might need to make a trip today there for a Processor.

I didn't have the head checked or resurfaced, didn't clean things properly, didn't chase the head bolt threads, left a teaspoon of oil and carb clean in each one, and my VR head gasket leaks like the one it replaced. Therefore VR head gaskets suck.

Isn't VR what I had for my manifold gaskets? Just asking, because I haven't seen a single issue. *knocks on wood*

Very nice before & after! Is that a Zinno & what kind of product did you use?

Luckily we only used VR manifold gaskets, so you're good. It's that evil evil head gasket that you have to watch out for. Your shit is basically doomed to fail though because we replaced your vacuum lines with OE vs. shit we found at Ace. And ZF boxes are better than Getrag, and redrilled Style 5's are awesome.

The bucket had new wheels. Now to strip that ugly ass black paint off of them.

Oh, and Bronzit is terrible.

I'm glad you think so.

Oh oh my turn.

And putting E36 suspension on your E30 for 5-lug is perfectly fine.
Geometry doesn't matter.

You got anything to back that up?

Agreed, that is a totally ignorant statement. There are no geometry issues with my E36 M 5 lug...if you use the wrong fucking parts, sure, it'll be castered like fucking mad, but when the proper late E36 stuff is used, works just fine.

Yep and E30 M3 5 lug is dumb too! Like cutting the horn of a unicorn!

Here I was thinking we were the niggas....

We should break the M42 down and replace the HG with a VR, run the piss out of the engine and see what happens...

black rims are so played out

What's the point of the horn anyway?

[iansane]

Anybody have some I valve springs laying around they'd like to get rid of?
