No disc brake rear, although it may have been an option. Had a calais style velour interior and...rear headrests!! Which completely obscure your view out the back window! Pulled mine out pretty quickly. Mine had a Momo wheel, but just the standard gear knob. I think the special cam is no more than a myth.

Yea the interior is grey,which pretty sure aussie VLs never had,as for "special cam" i think tht is a myth. first thing i did is take the rear head rests out,the bloody stupid. And factory MOMO wheel,which is pretty nice but got shelved for better one,and had MOMO gear knob too,which got shelved also.both pretty worn out Quote: Originally Posted by 12maneym haha wot bout the latest green on the VE commodore? thats a sweet colour i think anyway. yea i do like that colour,its the new liquid pearls they put in em looks hot,but i wouldnt paint any of my cars in it solely cause like Alex said,looks dated pretty quick and every Honda in south auckland will have it,done by a back yarder! Ill stick with the Charcoal,keep it classic and classy. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My dad's just had the normal gearknob, but yeah it has the funny 80s momo wheel. Those rear headrests are pretty bulky. Also about the cam/computer myths, the computers have the same codes on them, and my dad reckons they have a different cam in them.. but he must be forgetting that he's had his engine replaced and its no different now than it was before..

Yeah when my dad was looking at buying his it was the first one I had heard of, and I was pretty skeptical about it.. I had heard of VN GTSs but not VLs (and he always gets models confused, somehow). He should be buying his paint today, so it might be together soon, I'll get pics of it when it's done.

Those doorpods are nice!! I'd be worried about kicking the speakers in though, same for something going through the sub! And just realised you've got covers on the front speakers in one photo.. so nevermind that. All very tidy though.
