mmmmmmm I need my vlt going again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I need to paint my vl before the motor gets a good working Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just figured engines high compression ! love it i toke it to mechanic and he did a test on it i dont know baout the diff with the diff i swapped it couse i blew the other one and buddy you try spinning vl walkinshaw rims with 245 tyres on them in the dry couse i know i can tyres have plenty of tread and are near new so that aint he problem either also another thing you guys wher saying about single spinner mines mini spooled so it spins both everytime

so, what comp ratio is that? 13:1? with the minispool, u got to spin 2 not 1 wheel... twice the work....

ahhhhhh LOUD NOISES!

i once had nearly 400rwhp.....and had trouble losing traction......... with 3 fat ppl in the back

You would spin 1st with dumpage, Maybe if they where bald or in the wet you might have more luck. Who cares anyway this is a gay thread Just turbo it and stop dreaming Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i had a n/a 5speed with extractors, 2 1/4 exhaust, thermo fan, cai and advanced timing with a single pegger in it if it was wet i could break traction in 1st slam it in second spin second and if i did shift 2 third it dies in the arse...it does sound a bit hard 2 do considering mini spool and so forth BTW old tires and they were 215's

I dyno'd my VL when I first bought it. This was 10 years ago, it had 115,000kms on the clock and full service history... it was one mint 3L NA auto Calais. It produced 85rwkw and could do a mean single wheel burnout... but come on guys, get your heads out of your asses, they are not quick cars and wont spin the tyres going from 2nd to 3rd, unless its wet, your wheel is on a white line, your turning slightly, and you have bald tyres, then maybe... however that still doesn't make it an animal

my vl chirped third auto in the wet 2nd in the dry thats exaust extractors cam chiped hi stall shift kit. yea bro it fully tuff lol. Beleive it wen i see it

Funny thread full of BS. Bragging about your NA's mint wheel spin is like drag racing in your sisters toyota echo. IT'S just not cool

it is quite the sad thread

lol, definately an exageration of the truth, i couldnt even spin my 245s at the carwash the otherday.... how pathetic?

thats actually prob not normall man i could spins 245 17 in the dry u sould be able to in the wet or is ya car dead stock ??

yeh in 1st in the dry.

ok thats k i thought u meant they wouldn't spin in 1st all gd
