If there has been some confusion with the power output, are you able to clarify it for us?

To be honest its not a hard thing to do, its time consuming as most things are, all you have to decide is if you want a dash mount type or floor mount then go from there, its definetely worth doing in my opinion. If theres anything else you wanna know just ask. thanks all good mate, i was very very close to debuting at summernats but i thought i wouldnt rush the last bits and finish it properly. ive already got my entry in for this year cheers for clearing up some stuff bud if i'd of known you were on the forums i might have shot you a PM before i started the thread. Congrats again on building the car mate it will definitely be one of the few VLs that everyone will always remember, you've taken it to an entirely new level!

There was some good advice along the way and some bad but eventually i think ive got it right. There is a list of people to thank, i think i will put together a big post some time this week and run you guys thru the setup and who did what. and once again thanks to everyone for kind words and support.

haha thats to be expected though, every time someone builds a car with a little bit of money in it, its either 'cheque book' or 'drug money'. Jealous cvnnts. Who cares where the money comes from or where it goes, as long as at the end of it, we get to see car porn like ITSWAR!

what pissed me off was the people that said 'its not to my taste, this and this has been done before, its not even original' fkn why pick at a car to find negatives when its clear so much has been done to make it not just 'another VLT'
