i just got my first car its a vk sl and i was waderin wat u guys would recommend i do to it modifacation wise keep in mind i wanna keep the 202 n i wanna keep able to be registered so no illegal stuff please
Hey mate...Welcome to tha Madhouse....you can start by getting her to breathe in & out a little easier...extractors, bigger air-intake, etc.....slap a head off a 149 on her , or a Yella Terra head....new points, plugs, leads, radiator flush, change the oil/filters...change the fluid/filters in the tranny/gearbox.......new fuel filter........... that should keep you busy for a while...read around the Forum..pick up a few ideas...cheers mate...
thanks also is it usual to find a blu 202 in a vk i thought they were blak 202 cos im pikin it up on sat
yes,,I was just thinking about that..it is probably a replacement motor.... which is good.. where are u, mate??? they are great cars..... you will get some goood mile-age from her.......
im from gulgong tiny town i saw the vk in parkes bloke was sellin 4 $1350 i bought him down to $1000 so 350 is for fuel n trailer but im gonna give er bout 2 yrs work b4 i register.
wat r they like fuel wise?
Nice country around there ,mate...I drive through there often........... as long as you keep the foot up a bit, they are OK.....you want to keep an eye open for a set of extractors for her, if she doesn't have them on already...make sure there is no leaves/rust under the corners of the bonnet...or rust around the back window.....I am jealous...they are really good fun to play with.......
I actually worked on a friends VK a few months back - it had a blue motor. Compliance plates matched up as well.
i was thinkin of puttin a 600 holley on er
600 holley? do u wanna drown it? a 350 holley is to large for a stock motor and bout what u want when worked
a weber of an xe-xf falcon works much better and uses less fuel
So some people are complaining about my motto on cops.well if u knew what ive been thru u wouldnt.so quit your whinging!
i hate cops!
i was goin weber and popin an aircleaner through the hood - bit of cai happenin. extractors also.
ps, if i got aftermarket carb and header, do i get rid of the egr and all that bs?
mate your best bet is to whack some EFI on it .... far better than any carby on fuel and power! (cept maybe triple webers or something.)
if you want some ideas of how to make your 202 go hard heres what i have ...
Sammy's 202 Specs
will cost you about $3500 to get what i have .... makes about 170-180hp at the flywheel and in my LH Torana smokes all but Gen3 V8's ....
Sammy.
