As soon as I get the money, I'll jump onto it. -- So at the moment, I currently need the following (probably going to grow by next weekend when I see a mate to see why its blowing white smoke....) ESSENTIAL: > New Injectors > Aftermarket ECU. > New Turbo seals / Valve Stem Seals (Maybe). > Tune. > Head Gasket NON - ESSENTIAL: > Cam > Pursuit Rims. > King Springs. > Venetian Blinds (Rear and Sides). > Pay ProShine to professionally clean the car (Possibly; dependent on my laziness). > Other bits and pieces...

Good choice on the injectors. Personally I'd recommend a nistune. I've had a few different aftermarket ecu's but I really rate the nistune. It's cheap at like 880 installed and tuned, you don't need to butcher your wiring harness, no cold start issues, the only downside is that it retains the AFM, so reverb from the turbo can cause it to stall. There are some pretty simple ways around that though like convoluted intake piping. Hyperdrive has done the one in my corolla, and touchup/retunes are pretty cheap too. Another limitation are 1000cc+ injectors become difficult to tune (not really an issue unless you want to run e85 any time soon)

Injectors will probably sit there for a while till I fix everything wrong with her. Seriously considering selling some of my gaming gear to fund her.. but we'll see.

No rush man

Headgasket blew and turbo was hooked up wrong. Coolant being fed into the turbo instead of oil. Hence why I was losing so much.

a cometic gasket is the go. ARP studs are absolutely a good idea too but you will need have the block machined if you go oversize.

A mate said he will come down this weekend to have a look at it, and start doing the head gasket, and furthermore see what else the old owner stuffed up.

Ha vl life generally means not driving your vl

i thought that americas cu logo was a joke for a second. it looks like a hookah which is something that most vl owners are as familiar with as broadmeadows markets / sydney rd kebabs and bad 90s techers.

Haha yeah man. The outside badges have already been removed, were kind of ugly anyway. Could try source some new ones, for the sake of originality, but meh.

Probably will sell all my turbo gear and switch to a high mount with a bigger turbo.

Most importantly, what kind of turbo you gonna put on it ?

Not sure at the moment. Focusing on getting this thing on the road.

Just picked up a new full Manta exhaust system for $100.00 as the 3" had bits and pieces cut and bent and it wasn't any good basically. So VL should be back on the road soon Just need a new throttle cable, but it should be drive-able without replacing it anyway. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

More issues with her, namely the headgasket.
