well this is my vl when i bought it the bloke i bought it off said it was a hdt nitron, not to sure but he gave me the nitron side skirts and front bumper add on with the car, its a turbo, 5 speed from the factory and was running 12 psi,fmic,standard t3,3 inch exhaust, when i got it, i am half way through converting to calais front and rear, relocating battery to the boot and upgrading the fuel system at the moment.
