Hey guys im new to the forum and i thought u might like to see what i get around in. The VL is a 5 speed manual, n/a "what a pity" and has a few mods but i haven't really tried to mod it yet. Its running on VX SS rims that i bought the other week and apart from that it has a HD Clutch and towing suspension which does drop it a little lower from standard. My dad has had it since new so im still in the process of taking it over. tell me what u think of her and how the rims look on it. cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheers bewsh ill take that that on board about the garnish no1 future mod is installing a decent stereo but i need some help with brand and set up! im thinking deck with 6's front and rear but don't know much about the quality of the brands " basically i don't wont the cheap s*** which is rubbish" so if anyone can recommed there set up i would appreciate it. i do know i only got a budget of about $500 i should be getting tinting in the next couple of weeks which should improve the looks a bit i do need to save up for some new extractors, high flow cat, lowered springs and part from that it just needs a uni pod filter and i should be set. cheers bewsh ill take that on board about the garnish no1 future mod is installing a decent stereo but i need some help with brand and set up! im thinking deck with 6's front and rear but don't know much about the quality of the brands " basically i don't wont the cheap s*** which is rubbish" so if anyone can recommed there set up i would appreciate it. i do know i only got a budget of about $500 i should be getting tinting in the next couple of weeks which should improve the looks a bit i do need to save up for some new extractors, high flow cat, lowered springs and part from that it just needs a uni pod filter and i should be set. cheers ill take that on board about the garnish no1 future mod is installing a decent stereo but i need some help with brand and set up! im thinking deck with 6's front and rear but don't know much about the quality of the brands " basically i don't wont the cheap **** which is rubbish" so if anyone can recommed there set up i would appreciate it. i should be getting tinting in the next couple of weeks which should improve the looks a bit i do need to save up for some new extractors, high flow cat, lowered springs and part from that it just needs a uni pod filter and i should be set. well that was successful a simple edit ended up telling the story 3 times can the admin fix up my dodgy attempt at editing that post Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pimpin you might want to post about cruising in either the 'Lap' thread in SA or the 'Spotted' thread. So people actually see it. I might do one lap, but thats it

The only problem with this car is its not turbo. Other than that it looks mint!

a conversion would be nice but the joke of it is it would roughly cost the same amount as the car is worth atm. im keeping the vl stock if i get a turbo it will probably be on a skyline which here's hoping will be my next car
