Well I went to the Auctions yesterday and picked up a VSII Berlina with only 109,000k's on it. Looks great. Just got RWC before, now all I need is some number plates. Check out some pics here (http://users.ncable.net.au/~lveal/Berlina) So, what should I do to it? This will take time

Lol, yeah its an NA. I am missing the BERLI part. Which I have sitting in the glove box. I can either try and get it back on, or find a new BERLINA badge, or take the NA off

Yeah the Mustang is nice....and loud! I need a CD Player and an exhaust. What size exhaust do you people put on these things? I had a 2.5inch on the Skyline.

Go with a twin cat (goes from 2 into 1) 2.5 inch system and some pacemaker extractors if you can afford it (about $1000 give or take). Or just go with the tried and true cat back 2.5 inch with a single lukey race muffler. Midas up here do the mandrel bent system with a lukey muffler for $230. So expect a little more in Melbourne. I only say a Lukey muffler because Ive heard it before and think it sounds good on a V6, Im sure theres other mufflers out there like redback etc. Jake.

Just had a 2.5" system fitted to my VS, using all Lukey part, sounds the ****, and feels heaps better to. Lowering about 2" i was quoted $690 here in Brisbane, and that was through Fulcrum. But yeah looks good man, and got a hell cheap price for it.
