Piss that cannon off and have it dumped at the diff. I wouldn't go for red pinstripe either as its Berlina spec and will look like you've done a calais conversion and don't red wall your tires. Everyone has totally thrashed the whole 'colour wall' scene. VY GTS Would look great too re'

Don't pin stripe it. White walls would be the go, red will be hard to match up with your colour car VY GTS are no way near as nice looking as VX GTS. I've owned both and reckon the VX is 100 times better looking Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking good Selo. So what's happening with the diff? Getting a rebuild? I'd really like to know what you pay for it if you do it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

( by all means there both tuff in there own looks ) .. with the red walls i am thinking matching it to my brakes colour .. ( but like you said it will bring a conflict to the colour of the car.. ( but if not white i guess ) see if i can photoshop somthing.. Quote: [FLY-BYE] ohh my brother from a.c.t lol.. yeh i know i just wana drive the thing Quote: 5spdvl ( i:e the smart bloke this guy ) :P umm well its still going to be a 3.45 ( it is a lsd 4 pinion 28 spine tho ) but just a rebuild .. cost me another $550. aparently it was 650 but because hes done all my install's slighty cheeper i guess " so hopefully when i spin the wheels from one side the other one will spin too " .... lol .. thanks .. x Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
