Ok, I'll just get straight into it. 1987 VL Berlina N/A RB30 Automatic Lowered with pedders sports suspension and shocks 2004 VZ SV8 Commodore 17" wheels Remote Central Locking/Alarm/Immobiliser Alpine CDA-9805 Head Unit 2 Alpine S-Type 6" two-way speakers in the front doors 2 Alpine S-Type 6" two-way speakers under the rear window 2 Alpine S-Type 12" Dual Coil Subs, in a Dual VL made sealed box Alpine MR350 Amplifier for the subs Wooden Steering wheel Exhaust system from the engine all the way back is composed of - Extractors - Hotdog - Redback 2.5 inch exhaust pipe - Redback muffler - Rolled 2.5 inch chromed tip These are my modifications so far, not reall much performance work done... yet. In a couple of weeks, new disc brakes will be going on (Hopefully Y series Clubsport brakes if I can work out if they can actually go on or not?). I'm putting them on because hopefully by the end of the year, they will have to be there to pull up a 250 - 300 kilowatt VL..... I am having a few ideas for my car, most expensive one is that i have seriously been thinking about converting to Toyota Soarer 1UZFE V8, and maybe s/c or turboing sometime later in the future. But most like i will be dropping in an RB30ET and just bigger turbo/bigger intercooler/stronger components sort of thing. Oh, and of course i'm guessing a new gearbox is on the 'needed' list. The paint is pretty faded, and the bumpers are looking a little shoddy. I have too many idea of what to do to the body, so i wont post my thoughts. Ideas of what to do with my car to make it a real shiner will be appreciated and taken into consideration. Thank You Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
