my 5 litre vk

[phat_com]

sweet vk man, i hop mine turns out like that to bad about the tail lights, I think i would like tinted better but thats me and its your car!
Goodluck

[walesy]

nope the 5L was available in all models, SL, Berlina, Calais etc.

and your VK is sweet mate i like the bodykit, maybe get the bonnet scoop to complete the kit? clear lights look good surprisingly

yeah i love those vk scoops, was gunna put one on my vl but they just dont suit properly

[les82]

yeah i was thinkng about a scoop. hopefully gonna start working on the interior this weekend

[les82]

allright finally got my new front seats today and bought some cans of grey interior dye so will post some pics up when it's all done

[VRSS]

Nice VK looks tuff with the kit and rims, Why do you want to change to auto i think the manual is the go but then the m20-m21 are not the strongest box. if you go auto the turbo 350 with shift kit and the 3000 stall would be much better than trimatic, but you have 4 speed-trimatic block and will need adapter plate-kit to fit turbo 350, do you have a fairly big cam in motor to need 3000 stall? I would also change diff ratio to 3.55 or lower to get most out of stall. The VK is a light car and will go hard. I myself have a VK and is currently working on the old girl, my set up is stage 4 cam, head work, gear drive, turbo 350 stage 2 shift kit 2800 stall and 9" with 3.7 gears and full spool. Take a look under my ride - Project VK 308 turbo 350 9". all the best with your VK it looks tidy and dam tuff.

wanted to go auto mainly to take it to the drags on weekends and like you said m20/21 arn't the strongest box. i have a trimatic ready to go thats the reason for the choice of the box, i personally like the t350's as well but dont really have the cash at the moment lol. as for the cam i dont really know what the specs are, will probably get one to suit stall when i do the conversion. thanks for the advice though

ok got a bit done over the weekend seats in and dash painted. still want to do something with the center console and door trims what do you all think.

[qwertsta]

Awsome looking VK man love it. Would look even better if it had the original tail light's... I never liked the clear tail light's on the vk/vl imo it doesnt suit them.

[les82]

hey all i got a new steering wheel on the weekend, only because on the way home i got defected for my wheel being too small, guess it was a good excuse to get another one, never really liked the wooden one any way

[Matt_vp]

the tail lights look good at night, i was behind u driving along toolooa street last week sometime.

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and thought i would put my car up for you all to look at so tell me what you think. It's a mild 308 4sp manual 4 wheel disc brakes
18 inch wheels. i am gonna start to work on the interior as soon as funds permit

Nice car. I have always liked the VK's - especially with a mild body kit and nice wheels. You can keep the tail lights though - I'd get a set of the tinted calais style along with the other bits that go with it.

Cheers,
Reaper

[les82]

[Matt_vp]

[les82]

hi all got around to painting the strip on my light s today what do you all think

[NOT.BT1]

looks alot better with the black line through the tailights mate wasnt to keen on the clear lights but that makes them suit better trim is looking awsome keep up the good work mate

[kellyvk]

I love Pioneer too. Some pretty good looking head units out there now. Lots of features on them. you should charge Pioneer to advertise their brand

[drworm]
