- VR S sedan 5L, VSII ute
Name: Jarrod
Model: VS S pack
Colour: Diablo Red
Engine Type: Ecotec
Engine Mods: SC6 CAI
Power: Stock minus 15 years
Exhaust: Stock, a bit squished
Gearbox: Getrag 5 speed
Diff: Factory 'LSD'
Brakes: Squeaky
Suspension: Stock
Wheels: 16" Walkinshaws
Interior: Stock, slightly worn
Stereo: Pioneer H/U, JBL 6.5 inch splits
Cost: About 6k by now
I used to drive an N13 Pulsar every day, but 'twas a tad stuffed. Sold it, picked this up so I can have something repectable (and practical) to drive while my VR is off the road for the 5 litre.
The picture in the ad I found;
And after I got it home. I had already taken off the tonneau cover, it was saggy, missing hooks and shitting me.
The roof lining, after a temporary fix
The dash after removing the liner - the stuff next to the white block is still on there, I'm going to have to attack it with some scotchbrite I think.
Some of the stuff I have been dealing with;
Faded tail lights/reflectors
Really bad home tint, and the door handle after an enterprising theif failed
And how it sits now, after new tint, new tonneau, tail lights, a good cut and polish, door handle, aerial surround, grille inserts, plug leads, front tyres, new CD player and heaps of little niggly bits that were minor but enough to annoy.
The plan was to keep it 100% stock and just enjoy it for what it is, I already have the low, loud car that assaults eardrums and kidneys. But I am tempted to do some subtle touches to bring it up just a tad more. Maybe a twin exhaust and maybe some engine bits from MACE Engineering to give it a tad more poke.
I'm not going to lower it, as much as I would like to, as I'm looking at getting a block/house shortly and need to actually use it as a ute. Plus I tow my boat around a little bit.
