Make / Model: VS Acclaim Series 2 - 1997 Colour: White Bodykit: Standard Engine Type: 3.8L Ecotec V6 Engine Mods: Nothing special, SS inductions CAI with a K&N high flow filter Power: Not much but goes for a 6 Exhaust: Standard to the cat, 2.5" red back exhaust dumped at the diff Kilometers: 188,XXX Gearbox: Slushbox standard 4L60e, so obviously an auto Diff: Reco IRS diff, new axles, 3.89s and a mini-spool Brakes: Standard brakes, machined discs and bendix ultimate pads Suspension: Front - Superlow king springs.. Rear - Ultralow king springs compressed 2 inches (wouldn't mind it lower but already have like 2k worth of receipts with how many times I've changed haha) w/ KYB shortened shocks Wheels/Tyres: 15x6 interceptors, trim rings, caps, chrome nuts. Fronts - Bob Jane All Rounders.. Rear - Gemstone 3000s Interior: Immaculate, like you wouldn't believe Stereo: Some kicker sub/amp package with all kicker wiring and some CD player think it's Pioneer, came with the car sounds alright. Stock speakers. Other mods: Uhh tinted windows, westwood sticker for cheaper tyres and a for sale sticker Future mods: None really, reco uni joints..remove the mini-spool, get the speedo re calibrated and sell the thing ohh and uh, if I kept it I'd sort out the rear bar (bog and spray) and get slim line plates Extra: Brought the thing with 170,XXX off a dealer, was traded in by an old bloke who wanted a small car. I'm the 2nd owner, came complete grandpa spec. Rear louver, mud flaps, standard height, rear seats never been sat in, majority highway kms, most of the service history. Couldn't be happier with the thing to be honest, can't believe how imac it is even to this day. Probably the cleanest VS I've ever seen. Definitely would be if I sorted out the rear bumper obviously it's up for sale as you can see from the sticker. Looking for a mickey mouse VN with fairly low KMs, not in a rush to sell it though. Just always liked VNs and pretty keen on getting something with live axle anyway yeah, let me know what yous think Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Lol yeah, figure I'd probably get banned for abit but it doesn't bother me that much. Lol @ fullsick, you're not the only one mate. Cheers whtgmh, your car is mint. Was looking for an s pack for ages but couldn't find one anywhere that people didn't want a ridiculous amount for. It does need the clear indicators I agree 100%, might do it soon before I sell it And jbonez, because it has 3.9s I need the speedo recalibrated. Completely forgot about the speedo being out once you put in different gears until I drove away and it said i was doing 25km before I was even accelerating lol. Ah well, I'll get it sorted out soon Cheers for the comments Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
