Seems like you sa lads are loved by the po

lost it because when i went up to adelaide with a mate to pick up my vs wagon on the way home in the adelaide hills i was clocked going 117km/h in a 100 zone so because i was exceeding the speed limit by 10km ive lost it for 6 months. also means when i get it back the new P plater laws will apply for me so i cant drive a v8, turbo or any high performance vehicle till i have my full licence lol

The front for the VL is 345mm min height and rear Min is 295mm as you said, steering wheel min dia 365mm.. The rear height with king lows I can measure it if needed... Also the STD height is Front 385mm and rear 370mm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

update. after being 'sold' it never really got payed for, i had a talk to my mate who was gonna buy it and now im keeping it. it was sitting for a while, put a brand new CAS in and she fired up first go hasnt got the calais interior anymore as i sold that but for now its got stock sl trim, eventually wanna put VN calais/stato seats in. the diff or centre bearing problem has magically fixed itself, i dont know but it isnt shaking anymore lol. clutch is on its death bed however i have a brand new one to go in it. going to spool it and slam it on ceptors with center caps and the chrome dress trims. also i wanna get rid of the calais tail lights and just tint some standard ones. have ordered a new steering wheel and gearknob for it, just waiting for them to rock up in the mail. get my P's back next month! cant wait, walking everywere sucks lol.

so this is how its looking now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

awesome work mate! looks 100% compared to when ya first got it. and i love the colour choice. shame about the cops tho, spose the colour stands out like dogs balls

cheers mate! yeah never really do drive past a copper without getting a few looks. the night when i first got my P's after being defected i was given 1hr to drive it so i kept cutting laps and got pulled over about 5 more times in that hour lol couple of the cops walked upto my window, looked at the defect and said oh obviously somebody else beat me to ya. pack of pricks they are lol. probably gonna get flamed a bit for this but have decided that in a couple months or so ill be going with a t3/t4 monsta turbo+intercooler setup HOWEVER i will be taking the turbo in to get rebuilt properly with decent bearings etc. probably just gonna run it on about 6-7psi to start with then eventually upgrade the fuel system, ecu and get a thicker headgasket and hopefully wind up the boost a bit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
