very nice car mate,any chance we can get some engine bay shots?cheers buddy.

ill get some up over weekend but it aint pritty.. lol still retains all the holes from turbo set up !! i had the motor box sitting there ready to go and i started to do the engine bay and pulled the pin it got the better of me wanted to drive it. the diff is a ticking time bomb they are a strong diff but it will break it was off the line so hard phil owner of PDR diffs in geelong is blown away buy how these biffs hold up when they are out side there power range and still hold in there . this thing has a lot more to come had it on dyno yesterday an after 6000rpm it falls over and stops making power i think going to look at cam timing perhaps i was pissed at it but the times are still there that all that matters in the end didnt do a power run i was over it . when i raced it was turning it to 7000 which would have been slowing it down ....

Exactly, youre going to go faster for sure. First pass i turned mine to 6000 and did my quickest time, after that i got more confidence and spun it to 6500 and did half a second slower!! Its all practice and learning the car. I love this VL!

dam straight ... should pull to atleast 7000 - 7500 but what do you do you pull it apart and fix or leave im quiet happy with it but theres always that could it go faster ?? where do you stop and how much cash do you keep throwing at these cars..

Yeah how far do you go. Revving it over 7 grand youll start stretching rod bolts and benting push rods. 7 grand is a huge rev!

o yes putting 2 more mufflers on it this weekend to shut it up a bit then hit the streets for some cruzin . need to find some calais interior stuff got all new schell seats in it mite pull out re do white leather and a full interior job and a re-spray.....

If you end up doing your interior, pm YEP_boost off here. He owns pro-stitch interiors and just did my monaro interior... absolute TOB job.

sweet will do thanx mate

who fabricated your scoop? or is it a torana type one?

it is a a9x torana scoop but took out the body line grove out of the front with the harrop carbi top sits pritty much at the top of bonnet. when i took it to the pannel shop to get painted my painter said to me your got to be kidding its going to look *** gay but now he loves it i think it looks tuff

yeh a mate of mine moulded and a9x with a VK GRP A type one.. in yellow. looked so tuff

i should have brought it forward more its a bit to close to screen could have fitted another inch or 2 air cleaner on it but o well ...still looks good and dont they turn heads...

im gonna put something like that on mine when i put on the second gas carby.

holdens like to rev especially with the top end this beast has mine is a 355 and they say u drop the revs as it makes more torque, i say f$%k that as i turn mine to 8k as valve float is 8300 nice big revs make the holdens sound on song Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you rev the ass off your car though Trent, you torture the thing!
