I bought my VL a a few months ago for a daily driver after i simultaneously got my s14 defected and smashed a big end bearing in cylinder 2, so had enough of trying to build a drift car and keep it on the street, two defects a year slows progress down heaps. SO it's a
1987 Genuine VL calais auto N/A
bought it not running but regoed off a painter at work for 1500
On the car when i bought it:
Lowered on cut and sunk springs
black VX SS 17's with blue lip
****ty wood grain steering wheel
mirror tint (not to keen on it)
bigg ass liquid malisha sticker on back window
****ty stupid shaped gear knob
harlequin painted gear shifter cover
full pioneer sound system with deck, 6" splits, 6x9s and two champ series 12" (probly worth more than i paid for the car)
Things i did:
new CAS
new fuel lines for injectors
fixed coolant and oil leaks
new steering rack, old one was absolutely ****ed leaking both sides, steering wheel moved up and down, baaaad
full service, oil and filter, coolant, gearbox oil, air filter and cant remember what else i did
replaced the ****ty gearknob with a spare trust grex i had lying around in the silvia
got a pair of quarter window venetians, still looking for the rear
got a set of VL calais rims, gotta polish them up, chuck some fresh tyres on them and put them on the car (selling the SS rims, too bogan for me)
fixed the seized up calais eyelids
got a set of chrome door handles
shattered a wheel bearing on the freeway so replaced the fronts and got new brake rotors all round
got an original calais boot garnish to replace the ****ty VX calais badge..
took the subs out, chucked one in a single box so i could have a boot plus bass is not cool
thats all i can really think of at the moment
High priority future mods:
Turbo conversion
get rear venetian get them painted white
LSD diff
replace all bushes
new shocks and springs, coilovers if i'm feeling rich
little cosmetic bits and peices
chuck the calais rims on
and more
pics up soon
