im soon to be representing the silver VL's myself. only mine will be silverslate over asteroid silver. looks good man, keep up the progress. try putting cold air induction and a highflow filter in there, makes a small, but noticeable difference

Haha, you bought K-Mac adj. tops? Why? They're race grade parts. They allow you to adjust camber and caster on your front wheels. So, you could make your front wheels lean in like the V8 Supercars and steer better! I just got my pair in the mail last night. WHT-747 (Spike) has them on his VLCT.

I bought them cause i got them for like $70 haha, yeah i know what they do,i have mega camber on my car at the moment, it looks awesome haha its gonna be a tyre killer though, might have to re-adjust! My cars being neglected at the moment as i just bought a bike, im hoping in the next month i can start work on all the rust and do my 5spd conversion, then get her on the rtoad! Fingers crossed.

I really like that last photo, the way the rim leans in and the esky is reflecting off the silver of the rim. The rubber in the strut tops looks a little chewed out - but it could be the photo - is it ok? If you get stuck thinking of things to do while you wait for your silly P plates to GTFO, you could always upgrade your options. Berlinas have the same body looms as Calais, so every non-standard option (power windows, central locking, power mirrors, cruise control, etc) has a plug there waiting for it. No wiring! It's a good way to get more enjoy out of your car, and to learn A LOT about how they're put together and how they work.

Nah the rubber is ok its just the photo, though they werent in the best condition, the bearing wouldnt move lol so i cleaned them and greased them, i couldnt adjust them they were that stiff and stuck, but they are all good now! Oh really? i never knew that, power windows and mirrors here i come cbf with cruise control and i already have central locking, only front doors though, ill attend to that though somewhere down the track, thanks for the info man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No one is going to let it go. The sticker must be removed. So what's next obsesv? Five speed conversion and VLT diff?
