Al's should be able to get it done pretty quick,they always flat out but normally get through it quickly. ill be heading back to them soon for "bit" more work.....

looking mint there mate,i remember seeing this car about 4 years ago in the city not long after i seen a few turbo vls on utube,i always liked the shape of the vl but never got to drive or even ride in one till my mate had $1500 to buy a car ,just as we pulled into the carfair driveway a old guy was leaving i asked if he was selling,yes he said and i thought he prob wont come back ,20mins later hes back and i told my mate to check it out,was a vl gts had $2500 on it ,i looked over it for like 20mins like i was buying it,an hour later he was just dropping the price to 1500 so i said buy it and he did,i have had about five vls since then and love em.

Yea huge difference with that coil, had to advance timing a bit cause she was getting more spark.Have to get tune once fuel pressure reg goes on too, get everything running nice.

So got the black buzz on.I like it, black on white looks good. No doubt ill change it around again at some stage.Still got the white one aswell. ---------- Post added 11-02-11 at 02:23 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by madrx3boy [View Post] Can't wait to see what the kit looks like Kelvin, it'll look mint with your rims.
