    Default Red - VL Aero

    Sorry I originally posted this in the wrong spot !

    Gday guys.

    Thought I would post a quick Hi there new member kinda deal!

    This is my car its started life as a 1987 SL standard NA car.

    Since ive had it as an 18 yr old ( now 10 yrs! ) Ive spent way too much money on her!





    List of mods :

    5 Speed Manual
    Highflowed T4 Turbo
    Stage 2 Crow Cam - heavy duty springs and lifters
    Head ported and polished + Polished cover
    570 CC injectors
    High performance Fuel rail
    Malpassi Fuel
    Upgraded Fuel Pump + Fuel pressure regulator
    JD Custom Plenum polished
    Haltek ECU
    18mm Racing leads
    Iridum Plugs
    KN Airfilter
    Monster Intercooler
    ( im sure there are a few other mods ive forgotten about but those are the majors )

    3 inch exhaust leading to a HUGE "lemon canon style exhaust - No cat Exhaust tucked up along way underneath looks really nice ( you can just see it on the pic)
    Custom interior Red/Black SAAS racing seats with 4 point harness for driver/passenger
    Cross drilled / slotted brakes upgraded pads
    Just had it resprayed
    Lower half VL Aero kit ( fitted it myself ! )
    Monster Tacho

    Clarion head unit
    For those thinking of stealing it.. Information on car security is not avaliable but it wont get stolen unless its on a tow truck! - I also have gps tracking Via Ezy2c

    Im pretty happy with it. Hope you all think so - I havent had it dyno'd so I couldnt say what power im getting, perhaps you can speculate on the power i should be getting? She's pretty quick tho !

    Thanks boys . Cheers

    Love it.

    Hate the tacho's and wheels, but other than that looks good.



    Whats the deal with the rear door panel, why doesn't it line up with the skirt like other Aeros?

    Rear door panels dont line up.. Ahh you mean down the bottom on the skirting..
    Thats due to the reasons below.


    They do! hehe looking at the photo I posted Its an optical illusion. depending on what angle you look at it from .

    The aero kit bottom skirts and door sills ( if you were to compare mine to someone elses' who had the same kit ) you would see that it normally sits out 1 inch further on the bottom that mine.

    We decided to cut it down to ( the door panels and the skirt ) so it gives it a cleaner look, I ran into problems getting it to line up at the rear, hence it looks like it does.

    Funny enough Ive never noticed it until you mentioned it was out. - Car's in the shop at the moment getting a service !- when she comes out ill snap a few more and try to fix that bottom !

    I loved the simmonds rims. - Gotta have a tacho when the music is loud so u know when to shift and u dont f*() a $ 4k engine

    LOVE IT! Just don't love the massive tacho! Berlina dash + Standalone shift light is what you want!

    i think stealthy is talking about the blade parts for wheel arch that come up from side skirt and look like the door panel goes all the way to the arch
