    Default My VL - Your opinions

    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

    Looks reasonably neat.


    But wouldn't the RB30 have been a better motor?

    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

    cheers guys for the replys n that.
    yeah went with the rb20 nice n cheap ahha got it al reasonable cheap from a mate he put it in to.
    its a bbit sluggish at the moment but i am getin a pintara 4:11 diff to chuck the gears in it so it shuldnt be to bad after that.
