    Pioneer, Kicker & DLS Sound System
    Newely Polished VH SL/E rims with TOYO Rubber
    Lukey Exhaust with 3 Inch Dump Pipe
    Side & Rear Venetions (Off White)


    Its currently being re-built the motor its undergoing full re-con and re-build i have a built up trans ready to slip behind it wit a B&M shifter
    Lots of new trims to replace the old worn ones are also going in, my deadline is Cruise For Charity 09!

    i like the sl/e rims on a vk never seen that before but it really works well.
    oh and with a few mods a 202 can eat 5.0ls just put a red motor in it and a set of tripple webbers.
    my lc torana used to cain my mates vp 5.0l so easily it was embarrising for the owner he ended up selling it cause i shamed im one to many times in front of the local drag crowd.

    yeh mate thats total shit red 6 motors were the shittest of them all and even if you could beat a 5.0 it was prob stock or ****ed and 5.0's vary as i have a black 308 and i used to flog my dads vt 195i 5.0 and that was before i modded anything on my car so think what ya want those 6 motor's are really only good because they never **** up and they get ya where ya need to go
