Matts VR II S-Pack Manual

[matt089]

Just a few pics, put the original gear knob back on, suits much better then the aftermarket one i had
before:

after:



and just after a wash



I have been considering getting some thin red walls maybe like 10mm thick so thought i would do a quick photoshop, bit rough and sketchy but you get the idea
Any opinions would be great??

Nice S pack mate. Love the rims and i love the white walls. i don't think its road legal in vic no more though.

D'you mean 'Red Walls'?

[matt089]

so any opinions on the red walls??

[HamaTime™]

personally I would say no but it's your choice mate.

I prefer white walls, but only when the car is completely dumped on its guts and worked!

[matt089]

yeh prob wont get them was just a thought
are they actually now illegal in vic??

[HamaTime™]

I heard the same but I can't be sure...

100mm is like normal size whitewalls

[matt089]

[matt089]

dont you mean 10mm not 100mm ?
100mm is like normal size whitewalls

oh my bad yeh ment 10mm dont think goin to bother with the walls though now plus i heard its illegal in vic still dont know if thats true or not

[Disturbed_vegeta]

shit that wagon looks tuff with the sunroof! im pretty sure whitewalls are illegal in qld, donno about vic tho.

[matt089]

Bit of an update the bearings in the waterpump pulley went the other day so that was pretty bloody annoying and had to get the car towed home which was interesting getting it on
but been meaning to flush out the cooling system so good excuse
i hadnt realised but the engine is soo much quieter now with the new pump

was surprised its quite an easy job as well thought there would be a bit more to it
so $76 later all running well

nice clean s-pac mate love the neatness of the interior. dont change one thing it looks good as is man well done.

[matt089]

alright well been hearing a clunking noise in my front driverside somewhere in the suspension and was thinking the strut maybe shat itself or some bushes but had one of those Pedders 28 point safety checks done and besides apparently having a few things that could be done it looks like the strut top mount and bearings need replacing just wondering if much people have had similar problem and how much its probably going to be for the parts?
thanks for any feedback

Hey dude, man that car looks sweet. Been looked after something amazing by the looks of it.

Can anyone tell me if that white strip along the boot lid is an aftermarket piece or just the original piece painted white?

[matt089]

the rear garnish?? well there colour coded on S-Pac, SS etc from the factory
but u can just paint them yourself a lot of ppl do it makes a difference
