29-11-12, 07:43 GMT+10#29 Right now I have a vx super 6 and I know it will cost a fortune to make it do the times I want.
So I posted this to see how hard it would be to get a 10 in a vl and it seem to be a lot easier an cheaper then the 2 tonne of vx would be.

Jd custom intake
Standard exhaust with 60mm wastegate welded in
Gt35/40 .82 rear
Apep forged pistons

Haha.
Don't put a manual in it mate, the amount of wiring is crazy, and will just add extra weight to the car.

So using a manual shell car and converting to auto isn't worth the trouble?

30-11-12, 08:40 GMT+10#39 I work on cars. It doesn't mean I modify them, I post here asking just what goes into building a setup to make a VL go into the 10s and still be reliable enough to drive it home.
