Ok guys, time for an update. I'm taking the car to get dyno tuned on Thursday because I'm still waiting for my map sensor to come in from Melbourne (overnight delivery my ass!!) Today I'm putting my new diff in - 28 spline, 4.11's and LSD. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks guys, I will be getting polished calais' with whitewalls and putting the standard springs back in. I'm over it, I want to see what it feels like with standard suspension. My thread may be bigger, but never better Would you believe the Capella only has 50,000km on the clock! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Because I'm sick of feeling every little bump in the road... I've been cruising around for 4 years and I'm over it... It's too much for an everyday car...

Loving it. With the suspension dont go standerd as you will get body roll. I put superlows with monroe shocks with new bushes in my white vk I had around 2 years ago and it rode nice and smooth with no body roll and sat at a nice height.Btw do you have a mate or cousin thats a courier around the city? We where talking about vl's and your one came up, he was maco too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
