Default Vararam Questions...

First off.. are there or are the Not 2 types/models of the Vararam...? the VR-1B and the VR-2B.... I heard that the newer style has redesigned tubes for a less likely chance of water getting into the motor....

And where is the best (i.e. good customer service at the best price) place to get one? PM me if it's not a forum supplier

And I also hear that a K&N filter can be used instead of the foam one that is provided.... model number? and is it the same for both versions....


Thanks in advance, Luke :drunken:

The VR-1B and the VR-2B are almost exactly the same. Vararam is marketing the VR-2B as a quality improvement, not a functionality improvement.

There are vent holes in the bottom of both. If you want more moisture drainage, drill the holes larger (I did).

You can use a K&N filter element but I think the one Vararam provides is just fine. And it's the same filter in both the VR-1B and the VR-2B.

Zbra, if you haven't already, post the contents of your Vararam installation link into tech tips.

That's as fine an installation guide for the Vararam as I've seen.

Nice job!

Default Fog lights

Here's a tip on the fog light install... have some one stand in the front of the car and with the fog light bolts loose move the fog light so that it is in the right spot and looks good then just tighten up the bolts,while holding the light don't let it move, and there you go. I had the same problem with my lights but I was not going to leave them alone till they looked right. They now look better than stock.. Hope this helps
