    Cool My New Car. 1985 VK SL - LOW 202

    After my first car (85 VK Berlina EFI 202) got double defected & crashed i started looking for a new car.
    Link to my other VK: Click Here.

    i found this one, Red VK SL, low km's (very low), body, paint, engine and interior all in A1 condition so i snapped it up.. heres the details!

    Name: Corey
    Model: 1986 VK SL
    Engine: 3.3L 202.
    Engine Mods: 350 Holley, aftermarket air filter & a 2.5 inch Lukey sports exhaust.
    Gearbox: Auto Trimatic (soon to be manual hopefully)
    Power: Not enough.. more low down guts than my old one
    surprisingly

    Wheels: Chrome 17 inch with 225/45/R17 on front and 235/45/R17 on the rear.

    Paint: RED! with grey bumpers

    Interior: Grey.. black dash mat.. Tomorrow im putting my custom dash badge, berlina hi rise console, VR door pods, maybe sports steering wheel (might wait and buy a fully legal one, dont want another defect)

    Stereo: At the moment, pioneer CD head unit and 4 crappy 6inches that all came in the car
    Tomorrow: Kenwood MP3,CD,DVD,USB head unit, Kenwood 6.5inches in front and rear doors, Kenwood 6x9s in custom MDF parcel shelf powered by a 2channel Kenwood amp, and a 1000W Kenwood 12" sub powered by a 650WRMS jensen monoblock amp. (all out of my old car)

    Build Period: Since today

    Future mods: MANUAL CONVERSION. HDT grill painted red, asteroid silver front & rear bars & maybe calais door moulds. More interior mods (VN Calais front seats, VK Calais rear seat & VK Berlina or Calais door trims)

    best thing of all: it has under 100,000 km's!! 96,750 to be exact

    Tell me what you think Only got 1 crappy blurred pic at the moment but after i wash it and do some things tomorrow ill take some decent pics

    Very nice mate. A lot for a VK, but if it's as good as it looks, it's probably worth it.

    thanks everyone, not sure if i wanna go EFI or not because it goes alot better than my EFI VK did!

    i did a bit to it today, washed and gave it a cut and polish, it came up beautiful i sprayed my grill red and with a clear coat, put my darker Berlina tail lights on, sprayed my venetians white and put them in (look good behind the tint) also thinking the tint could be a light mirror tint aswell.
    tomorrow should be getting my stereo in and my chrome interior pieces (door handles, window winders etc.) and spraying my hi-rise console grey and putting that in

    heres some more pics still not the best quality only ones off my phone ill take some digi cam ones tomorrow at a nice spot maybe

    When you have done a bit of driving let us know what kind of fuel economy it gets! I Would be interested to see what its like with the Holley carb and those mods
