It is a 4 skin turbo, with a solid "crank case", and a polished top end which blows off lots of boost, reasonable mileage, but always good drivers........ It gets flogged all the time, but goes hard on its own accord...... It is for sale at the moment......all enquiries within... HAHAHAHAH !!!! thats some good ****..

47 (am I the oldest here?), de facto (for nearly 20 years!), three grown-up step-kids, four step-grand-children. (Was a step-grandad at 32!) Brought up in Sydney, moved to Canberra in 1982. Mech engineer by training, been working in IT full-time since mid-80's. System administrator for last few years, mainly as a contractor. Bought n/a auto VL in January this year after my much loved Alfa 33 TI got rear-ended and written off by some twit in an old Falcon. Bought the car just as temporary transport, started to get impressed with it and nine months later am half-way through doing up the suspension, with lots of other minor mods and maintenance. Just bought a second-hand ME5 gearbox for manual conversion. Ultimately intend to do the odd supersprint in it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Turning 26 in November,still live at home after starting as a mature age apprentice electrical fitter/mechanic just before I turned 21,very slowly doing up my 86 model VL which I bought as a rustbucket at February last year after crashing my 88 model VL,have a built up Rb30DE which is ready to go in. I currently pull in $500 if working 5 days a week ($450 minus loading),only worked 3 days this week due to a lack of workflow in the trade (contradicts the so called employment growth figures) as I am in a casual job. I don't know how some people are able to live away from home,support other people and drive a VLT on $400 per week when they are under the age of 25 as I found it hard enough to register and comprehensively insure an N/A VL on a 3rd year wage of $300 while still living at home and chipping in 1/3 of my wage for food,etc. Then again it cost me $40 to commute to and from work per week. It cost me around $700 all up for the insurance policy,greenslip and pink slip. Not only that to spend large sums on a VLT when earning below the minimum wage,anyone has to be getting some help to do that.

18 - VLT with exhaust. Intercooler coming in 2-ish weeks, then running 10psi. Then its LSD, EBC, 18" ROH Fury's, dumping it on its arse with a full whiteline kit. Then we get into the fun. T3/4, Autronic SMC ECU, Bosch 036's. I've got it all planned, just paying each bit off one at a time.

Im 24, Im on my 2nd VL after owning a VK Calais. My VL is turbo but that hopefully will soon be changed a EFI 5ltr with a blower attatched. I Still live at home, its too good to leave just yet. Work in the Air Freight industry, wanting to buy at least a block of land soon (land prices are bad enough in Brisbane, I dont know how all you Mexicans do it). I have no idea where the majority of my cash evaporates to, mainly replacing/fixing stuff on the VL. No g/f ATM so my money is MY MONEY. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
