I am actually quite sceptical about my car's performance. I want to take it real easy on the motor, but everyone seems to be so determined to blow pistons out the sump these days, I'm quite worried. Anyway Grant knows your car is going to be faster ollie, no need to get all fruity about it.

Well I've had mine for longer than that and its been off the road for almost 3 years... So shut up and cop it. Andy the spray guru is gonna help me with my body work issues and she'll be full steam ahead after that! I'm getting there. Once all these cars are on the road, we absolutely have to take them to Queensland Raceway and have a thrash. None of this homo straight line crap either Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I can't afford good stuff . I might make some coil overs once we get the new machine at work- that'd be wicked! Wack on some nice Ap mono block calipers and boo-yeah! (I'm not actually gonna do this, I just want to) Billet bottom end is first in line Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i think this is a never ending project for luke.. somethin he will never finish, just makes him feel good building it. kinda like leggo, except his VL is like a million lego kits in one that makes a massive leggo city with moving cars, busses, monorails, space rocket lauch pad, medievil tourist park, racecar track, airfield.. and he'll never be finished his vl until they stop making new things for him to put on it... kinda get wat i mean.. im tired.. but luke ur out of control. get it on the road.. THEN decide wat else needs attention. LOL at least then u'll have cruised with us once... before we are all 90 years old flicking through scrap books with our grandchildren of our old vlts.. while ur still in ur garage knocking up some ***in hoo roo coil over suspension, press button steering voice activated rocket booster parachutes. *** im tired. c-ya shaft ****.

HAHAHA.. fudge packer ! true, i know that you mofo's car will be faster. No matter what i do to my car, there will ALWAYS be something faster out there anyway. Since it has been tuned there isn't a lot that i have lost to. I am quite happy with where my car is at the moment, nothing more will be happening on it for a year or so till i finish uni. I don't have the luxury of being able to work more than 1 or 2 days a week when i start my honours project. and besides, i had just as much fun building my car as i do driving it, i didn't buy it.

i heard the dyno couldnt produce a figure due to the hp readout being too high, though the person i heard it from was drunk at the time

It was wheelspinning on the dyno, but that doesn't say anything about the tuner. A good friend of mine who you could learn a lot from. At the end of the day, as much as we like to give him ****, Grant has a very clean SII Calais Turbo 5 speed. You can't deny that it looks nice and goes hard. A well built car with no wanker add-ons. I am envious of it anyway.
