Welcome mate! Lots of very useful information, guides and services on this site. Plenty to keep you a very busy VR4 owner!

If you have a little mechanical knowledge, a lifter change is quite an easy job. Bleed new lifters, remove rocker covers, pick up a rocker arm and pull out old lifter, put new lifter in, repeat! It surprised me how easy it is when I changed mine. May as well also do the rocker cover and spark plug seals while the covers are off too.

Anyway welcome again!

Welcome aboard.

Once you get used to the 'service position' of removing engine bay hot & cold side piping and plenum to do most jobs, they're not that bad.

Some light reading to keep you busy :p

Hey rowan, there are are fair few of us residing in newy, im sure you have seen one or two around. I have come across a few as im selling parts off my scrapped "01". Will be organising a tune with TME steve in the new year and have 3 on board already, would be good to have numbers to make a weekend of it. Down in syd, so good for a cruise. Always good to have a look at others rides anyway and get some tuning tips.
