    Default My VK Sleeper

    Hi all, my name is liam and would like to show u my daily driver. My VK berlina. I've now had the car for 3 months now and have done a few modifications to make her into a TRUE sleeper.

    Model: VK 5.0 Berlina
    Colour: Polar White
    Bodykit: VK Berlina
    Engine: Black 308
    Heads: L34
    Modifications: K&N 3" Filter, Holley 650DP, Edelbrock Performer manifold, flat top pistons, balanced crank, polished heads.
    Exhaust: Dual 2.5" Pacemaker extractors through to twin system with high flow mufflers.
    Gearbox: Trimatic with 2200 Highstall convertor
    Diff: VL turbo diff with 3.08 ratio
    Brakes: 4 wheel Discs with Pro pads
    Suspension: Stock (not sure if its been lowered?)
    Stereo: Worked 5L 308.
    Future mods: Yella terra rockers, Antipump-up Lifter, oversize valves, Stronger pushrods and maybe 355 Stonker!

    Only have the one Pic but will update with more hopefully soon.

    Hi All, havent posted for a while so just updating on wots happening.

    2 weeks ago I spun a main cap bearing in my block which has damaged most of my block(???)
    including the crankshaft so am forced to scrap the block.
    I have recently purchased a Vs series 304 block
    which i will be re-building into a fully blown Street/Strip drag car.
    So stay tuned for more updates and pics soon...
