Re: Old member GTV6, New onwer in Holland

Hi Kevin! My car is thankfully a blast to drive! Previous owner fitted yellow koni's, and ive check and there is no play in any of the suspension/steering joints. The car is lowered somewhat, but its really direct, and pretty sharp to drive, compared to much newer cars i've driven. Thanks to the lac...

Re: Aircon Upgrade

I want to try to rebuild the AC in my car. Its a bit difficult due to the newer engine. Does anyone have ever seen...

Re: GTV6 Tropic-Aire refill quantity

I want to try to rebuild the AC in my car. Its a bit difficult due to the newer engine. Does anyone have ever seen these conversions and have any idea what modifications (pictures of some sort) were done to make it work?

Re: Old member GTV6, New onwer in Holland

Hey Kevin, thank you for the reply! The original idea was indeed to remove/reposition the oil filter, and make more room for the pump. The reason why the AC is on the left is because the 164 has the AC there (that is whats known to me) I keep in mind the bmw unit, although the company whom are going...

Re: Those Dutchmen are crazy, but what about other countries?

We are definitely the most crazy folk of all. Most worrying thing is that we are aware of this. Or at least I do hehe.

Re: Old member GTV6, New onwer in Holland
