    Default Have access to wrecked vs ss, what to upgrade on vr v6?

    Hey guys, tomorrow im going back to see a guy to grab seats and skirts off a vs ss(witch he is wrecking) to stick in/on my vr v6. Ive already grabbed the throttle body of it also.

    Almost everything is there apart from the motor and lsd. and its a auto just like mine.

    Could anyone recommend anything else that would be useful for me to get?

    Are the brakes the same as what i have now? etc etc.


    Many thanks in advance!

    Grab the fuel tank and straps it should be the long range 80 litre (not sure of the exact size) it should bolt straight up

    if the mirrors and door handles are colour coded grab them, carpet if its better than yours, rear garnish which should be colour of the car also, tail lights if they are S@ and have clear indicators in them (if yours has orange)

    # Master cylinder and booster as yours is a 15/16 this would be a upgrade as its a 1" (it will increase your braking pressure)

    # FE2

    # Back seat, top half of the seat has the headrests for your passengers as a executive does not.

    # Cruise control bits, though you will need to change the cable for a V6 one, but the module is the same.

    Not a lot else (that has not been mentioned) as the the brake calipers, rotors etc.. are the same, also about the larger fuel tank I think its the same as yours as the SS never got that option (80 ltr) only BT1`s, stato`s and some special orders (commercials) got that, as I`ve been told.

    should get the dash and console panels to practice painting on for when you colour code the interior later
