Hi all, i'm new to justcommordores forum.
Just wondering if can get some opinions on my vlt let us know what you think.
Just put a rb20DET in it, bought the vl off a bloke who had it for 12 years and was slowly fixing it up but then he just wanted to get rid of it because it was never used.
So i was the lucky man who got a hold of it after him lol.
Let me know what ya think.. Cheers

my opinion ditch the pod filter looks pox. other than that looks good.
I heard they need diff gears so they're not so sluggish

I think it because rb29set's are cheap as chips you can get everything for about what it would cost to convert an rb30 to turbo
