This is the first car i have ever owned. I've owned it for 4 years now. It started off as a white vk, powered by a 202, and auto behind that. I was pretty happy with it for my first car. Wasn't to great on fuel but. It was my plan for a while now to put a rb30 motor into it, and i've just recently got it all done. Its now a rb30 powered 5 speed manual vk. While doing the conversion, i also painted the car Mods done are: -Completely rebuilt motor -Head has been slightly port and polished (done by myself. Removed all the casting lumpy bits that stick out, and rounded the corners a bit) -Head got shaved down a little, and all the valves, and valve seats got re-grinded. -Got lukevl to grind my cam for me. Unsure of what specs it is, but apparently they are to suit the mods to my car. -XF TB -3" intake pipe, and high flow filter -extractors, 2.5" exaust, high flow cat, and muffler -chipped computer -cam belt advanced 1 tooth. Timming set to 24deg advance Well, thats it for power sort of mods. My entire car is one big mod. I'm unsure what the front seats are out of. All i know its some sort of coupe type of car. electric sunroof (pop up, or slide back). Added power windows, power mirrors, VL dash, VL console, VL fuel tank, VL diff, entire VL wiring harness, and so on... just look at the pictures Future plans: uh... lots. Mainly another gearbox because my 2nd gear synchro is r00ted. Well, gimme some feedback please cheerz Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol, yeah, its gonna get recovered again soon i hope. I did all that about 3 years ago. I couldn't stand the crap brown interiour it came with. I plan to go with a bright green to match everything else. Going to try and attempt to do the front and rear seats also because they don't really match in all that well. Still standard crap brown under that rear seat cover I think i might try a complete fibreglass door card thing also. Have the speakers recessed into it and angled nicely. Arm rest part of the door if that all makes sense? I've had my practice shot on the rear parcel shelf. Does anyone know what those front seats are out of? They were going to be thrown out, so i got them. All i know is that they are out of a coupe because its got one of those quick fold down pedals at the back of the passenger chair. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
