mine fitted sweet just have to fit the centre first so the clips engage and a little bit of hammering of the dust cap

Calipers I got off NZ EVLHSV. Gave them a scrub up, popped the pistons out and gave them a scrub up too. Got some new o-rings to rebuild them with, And some tube to build a bridge kit for them.

sweet they should provide some good stopping power

Bit of an update: Just need to buy brake hoses to do the brake upgrade, got calipers, discs, pads, brackets Finally blew the gearbox last fri, So gonna be putting in the mint one i got of mike. the lsd diff is mint and very tight, so much fun. Have brought drive shaft loops. Have also brought a xenon hid kit for the headlights

Found the problem.

doh!

New gearbox in, runs mint first time its had reverse in years. Bloody awsome

Haha good stuff

looks good with those rims, i wanna get some for my wag the into's are too small lol

Yup cheers for the box sik, love the rims aye can't wait to have all 4 on. I reckon it will be even sicker if i can get it a bit more lower. We will see

Wanted to tidy up the wiring in the engine bay Installed the hid light ballasts behind the guards, with the rest of it. Gota do a little re-wiring under the dash. 245's fitted, might have to roll the guards if anyone wants to sit in the back. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good idea to put hid unit behind gaurd. Are they good instead of the normal headlights?

also curious to know how effective the hid setup is in the vl headlamps.

You will not get a wof with these units,The light beam will blind other drivers as the headlight lens does not comply with HID. Cheers Marty

Thanks for your awsome input there marty, as with all the mods to my car. It will have to pass certification, So we will see what the engineer will say it will require to pass.

I've had cars come into my work with aftermarket HID bulbs fitted, that have physically melted the headlight housing and lens. Hopefully this doesn't happen with your car as it becomes abit of a mess..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You'll need to roll the guards. I've got 235s on the rear, and they rub if I'm driving in a spirited fashion, even without passengers.

Be carefull with the HID's, the ballasts are the weakest point in the system. Behind the guard cosmetically is clean, but you will have to remove it to fix. No one's putting you down about them, but giving you pointers from experiance that all

Pointers I can handle and encourage, you can always learn from some bodys else mistake. vl-dan why do you think the housings melted ? hid produce way more heat ? bad wiring ? Would excessive vibration give the ballasts a early retirement ? or heat ?

Theres a huge demand on them even through normal operation. They are the fail point in the system should anything go wrong also. your talking huge voltage even when theyre running thats why the ballasts go, everythings massively amplified. Give them a go, worth while. Just dont put the ballast behind somewhere you cant get to. And the heat will have definatly melted the plastic in a normal lense, if you get glass repro's you should be OK.
