Koni adjustable rear shocks Kings super low springs, Re-set 35mm lower Pedders adjustable panhard bar Had all the bushes that needed replaceing redone with Superpros last week. front strut assembly with pedders (short stroke) inserts, with King Ultra lows. AC Delco 180LPH in-tank pump wahlbro external pump Car is rolling on 15x7 ceptors, Front tires are still almost brand spankas, rear are still in good nic Im sure theres more, if you have a quick sus at thread below you can see most of the parts from one of the previous owners. The car is not perfect, The steering rack has a slight bit of play where it joins to the tie rod or something makes a slight knock everynow and again, only found this out when i was having the bushes done on friday. Diff and Tailshaft starting to make a slight noise, havent really looked into it yet. There is also a small hole right in the top of the fuel tank, previous owner said he tryed to mount his amp through it or something, there is a screw in there from him, seems to keep pretty much most of it in there. Im sure il think of some other stuff to put up, if you have any questions or anything just let me know, Old thread with the build up can be found here, not exactly the same now but gives you an idea. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=109991 Well put up a recent shot during the week, these are only about a month old, still looks the same. http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/9466/dsc0341x.jpg http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/7342/dsc0370o.jpg Cheers

Does it have an engineers certificate for the RB25?
0 likes
TUXEDOArchived member
dont need one.. it is an RB with less capacity and VL's were optioned with turbo... as long as it has disk brakes on the rear it's legal.

BillyMakoArchived member
I don't think that's true. This motor never came optioned in the VL so it would need to be engineered.

The rb25 engine number is on the rego sticker, had to send a form into regency for the change over and they said its all fine and yeah it does have disk rear end. Most likley keeping it now, orderd a new vlt ally rad and some other shiz so might aswell hold onto it. Unless i get a good offer. Cheers
