like everyone has said just bring it back to OG and leave it, if u really wanna do mods to it start getting it ready to be turbo, then when ur off your P's u can just slap it on
The fact remains an ecotec will eat an RB30, the engine is high kay and high comp and will probably blow a gasket if boosted.

ecotecs are just plan ****. Don't put an ecotec in a VL just for something 'different'.. they are already different with the RB30's
Awesome buy for $900. People would pay that kinda money for the front end alone!
Have a look around the forum and get some good ideas on what you want to do to it. Exhaust, CAI, a basic service then focus on making it look smart.
Polish up the calais wheels too!

Put the diff in the exec and do the exec up. Personally, I like the exec/berlina better
plus if you thrash the exec then sell it your gonna burn up a heap of cash
