Price check vl turbo?

[johnvncommy]

Hey guys


Was wondering wat a decent price to pay for a vl turbo? Nothing special either..

Looking at 1 tomoz but i think it might be to much?

[Nackerz]

got photos depends on condition etc etc

[Kirbs]

They go over here for 3-4k unlicensed and 7-13k for licensed, Depending on condition and if the engine has work and stuff.

[t1mmyc]

you will have to put up a few pics for us

[harry3]

also much depends if it came from the factory as a turbo or had 1 added later, many turbos have been added later

[Nackerz]

i have seen this car and asked if i could post some pics up if he says yes i will post them up for you all

Hey guys
Thanks for your help.

Heres a link to the car guys


1988 HOLDEN CALAIS TURBO VL Private Cars For Sale in QLD - carsales.com.au

Looks good, I would give it a drive and see if it feels good and there is no noises and all of that- also check the hot spots for rust.

[fuzzy2308]

thats a nice vl.

[Goon]

Its nice indeed but for the price to pay youd think he would supply the RWC cert..

[calais24/7]

looks good but do take it for a quickdrive and see how it goes. and check for rust and if you pay that price get him to get a RWC
jus my 2 cents
good luck

judging by the pic of the engine bay the cooler piping to throttlebody is coming in from airbox area meaning there may have been holes through the gards which is illegal and may not make it over the pits. im saying possibly :P

[Goon]

Yeah supply a dodgy RWC at the right price lol !! its a lemon!!!

[johnvncommy]

If its got holes in guards can this be mod plated or anything ?? Im guessing its issues with structual stuff...

[detox_nath83]

structual..... weakens it... i dont think mod plates will cover it.
i think there may be a slight lemon zest to this one.

hahaha you might be right mate
do you reckon he could make 450+ rwhp just with that set up?

[CAL-FTW]

shit that clean ill snap it up for that price!
thats nice man, much cred with that!
the black piping indicates to me that it could be a gtech no holes cooler kit, but with a 35/40 its not passing roadie.
a dodgy one would get you out of the shit.

[detox_nath83]

gktech the piping swings in right near the dizzy and bend up to throttle body this is coming in on another angle:P
i could be wrong... but from the ones ive seen and i was gonna get for mine....
i need a slight mod it as i have a top mount turbo manifold

[VL_5SPEED]

**** thats cheap.. Dude its a VL, who honestly DOESNT get a dodgey RWC for their VL? Every VL i have seen has speakers in the rear parcel shelf and thats just as illegal as cutting holes in the engine bay for cooler pipes.

[Nackerz]

every vl i own has got a legit roadworthy not a bodgey one

the parcel shelf i have with 4 6x9's is actually a custom one that sits on top of the metal parcel shelf

like wise, i spent over 3g's on my rwc, better not be dodgey

[Nackerz]

lol yeah there is some decent people that dont do dogey shit to there cars

and i do the roadworthy with my mechanic so i know its not dogey

[STEALTHY™]

Wow, a VLCT on inters, never seen 400,000 of them before......

And a series 2 aswell

[Abrowne70]

[johnvncommy]
