Shes The Last Of The VLs

[Troy92]

Hey guys,

My names Troy I'm a 17yo commodore lover from Vic. Just thought I'd google my car and i found this website. Thought you guys might like another member so here we are.

I drive a "Holden Red" 1988 VL Executive.

Modifications so far:
Exhaust: 3" polished no muffler and extractors.
Engine: K&N Performance filter.
Interior/System: (not installed yet) 200w 6x9s(back) 200w (front) + tweeters. VDO deck.
Exterior: VN Calais mags for now. De badged.

Coming soon: Mesh front grille, New Rims (looking to buy), lowered 2" all round(recommend anything?)

I have been told my VL was one of the last to be produced.

I'd love to hear any comments you guys might have as well as tips for a VL owner.

Welcome to jc

[fuzzy2308]

pix still dont work

[seans VL Calais]

cant see any pics, also 3'' is a bit to big for a N/A vl it must be slugish down low. 2.1/2 - 2.1/4 is normally the way to go.

Exhaust: 3" polished no muffler and extractors. 3" is way to big fro a na man go 2 1/4" for the best power.

I agree

Anyway nice lookin vl mate, interior an paint look clean,
If I were u I wouldn't go a calais mesh grill they look terrible on a sl/berlina front
If your lowering it kingspring superlows are a nice low hight an best u buy an adj pan hard rod an have your gaurds rolled as they will scrape your wheels over little bumps when u have passengers in the back.

but that's just my thoughts

Good luck with it mate

Thought i'd put a nice shot of the back up.

Superlow King Springs are on Ebay for about $250 - $300. is that a decent price?

Oh and if i bought the springs and took them into a shop would they put them in for me? or would i have to buy the springs and labour at the shop? if i had to buy both at the shop what kind of price would i be looking at?

thanks guys.

hey welcome mate

springs are not hard to fit bro cheaper to do yourself

[Troy92]

ok thanks mate. i just heard that the front ones were a bastard to fit. thanks for clearing that up.

[Nackerz]

yeah they can be a real prick but worth the money in your pocket if you can do it yaself
