For Sale? Or Wanted? FS Price/Amount $24,000 neg Open to Swap? No State NSW Short Description for title? "NXT UP" Pink 9 Sec VLCT Streeter Genuine Turbo Motor? A8? Yes Transmission? MANUAL Currently Registered? Yes REGO/VIN Number? NXT UP Contact Info Other than this Forum? [phone removed] (Chris) Description So one of Australia's most recognizable street and strip VLs is up for sale, but what does that mean to you? Hopefully something. To explain why we have to go back. How far do we have to go back? This far. 2004. When the grass was that little bit greener, Woodstocks were that little bit more socially acceptable and everyone was listening to Twista n shit. Personally in 04 I was really busy watching Napoleon Dynamite. The first time I saw it I didn't laugh but the second time I did Anyway 2004 was the year that this car first appeared at Summernats. Fuck yeah, everyone loves Summernats As you can see, even back then the car was cooler than anything else you'll ever own. Shit had like pink paint, yellow plates, big ass chromies n stuff. YES. As you can see it was wearing the VL GOD plates back then, but shit i gotta point out that it wasn't just wearing them, this thing was the original and the best TO ever wear the famous plates, engineered by Anthony Maatouk to his exacting specs and the very car from which his rep' was built on. Running 9.50 with an auto and then 10.3 with a manual, the car shunned many non-believers who spent their time talking crap online. Pretty much I was one of them So for a half decade or so not much happened. Pluto was declared no longer to be a planet (tough break) and oh yeah Anthony Maatouk went on to be the biggest boss man around During this dull period the car was sold off and not heard from for a bunch of years, which was a shame cos seriously, look how sick it is Then after cruising the gong with like a million other VLTs on the biggest cruise ever, a bunch of bros were hanging out at Maatouks after and a bro by the name of Chris ended up being talked into buying the car. The year was like 2007 or 2008. As you can see he made it even more hectic, jazzing up the car with sweet white walls, fancy trim and a new set of plates. He did a bit of this too, proving that although it's a street car at heart it could still go fast But mainly this car is best at looking sweet, impressing lady folk etc It's even been in a magazine, ZOOM Magazine. Everyone knows chicks LOVE magazines. In the above study it came a respectable second in impressing ladies to the Millenium falcon which lets face it, sets an impossibly high benchmark So there you have it. The story of NXT UP. But you're probably sitting there being all like wtf does this mean to me bro? Maybe you forgot but at the start of all this I mentioned it was for sale SHIT YOU CAN OWN THIS CAR SON for just $24,000 credits, or less if you're good at making low offers n stuff Will it change your life? Probably So if you think the next chapter in this immortal creations story involves you being a hell cool dude and cruising it around, racing it and stuff then give Chris a call on [phone removed] Specs Body Genuine Calais Genuine HDT LE body kit Painted by Custom Bodyworks in Magneta Pink Engine Recently rebuilt RB30ET Maatouks Race Spec bottom end (call for full specs) Maatouks Race cam Heavy duty valve springs ARP head studs Custom GT35/T66 turbo Standard exhaust manifold Turbosmart waste gate Microtech LT10S Forward facing factory plenum 800cc injectors Turbosmart EBoost2 Intercooler Custom 3 inch exhaust etc Driveline MX7 Jim Berry clutch (same as in WHONXT) Custom single piece tail shaft 28 spline LSD Interior Full custom leather Recaro seats Pioneer DVD deck w/ 7 inch screen etc heaps more inside Wheels AME Modelart 20x8 inch $24,000 NEG CONTACT VIA PHONE ONLY NO PM Comes with NSW rego, engine bay is painted pink and clean but looks fairly standard, sorry don't have pics.

For those of you who have been asking, yes the car did beat the plane and no i do not think there is much of a chance that Pluto will ever be returned to it's previous status as a planet

The door cards have been trimmed in Calais style albeit with custom leather. The dash is also trimmed, rather than painted, which looks much nicer. It also has a monster tacho, the Eboost2 and venetions. As for the engine bay Chris is going to take some and send them to me, I will add them to the thread shortly. Cheers

Just a quick artist's rendition to show how the car could be appropriated (read: ruined) if sold interstate. See, not even stupid plates or ugly wheels could ruin the appeal of this truly iconic car: It's an incredibly versatile car and would look as good tearing up Chaps in sunny Melbs as it would coasting Cavill Ave in Queensland, gating it up Adelaide's Rundle St Mall or doing whatever it is VL Turbos do in Perth...
