MY VP 5 speed

[SIR HSV]

Here is my 1992 VP 5 speed. It is my first car and i have had it since i was 16
(2yrs). It was stock as a rock when purchased.

It had original trim, original suspension, original hubbies, Original Bus steering wheel, and strereo.

This was all changed, Got rid of the crudy old exec trim and got my hands on VS Calais seats (Partial Leather). Doing VN calais door trims soon with VS Calais velour in replacement and armrests.

As for the seats condition Tint was done soon after for better protection.

The ride hight was just too high for me and also body roll was incredible, (if went around a corner just a bit too fast, you would prob end up with road rash on elbows). So to solve all the trips to the local hospital i got my hands on a set of King Spring Super Lows. also changed the shocks to lowered monroe's for the best comfort.

As it was lowered i could not put up with my bus stearing wheel any longer. The steering wheel i bought was on sale and i liked the plain roundness of it (didn't want a real race style wheel) and for the price i loved it.

As for the hubcaps, im now rolling on a set of VT clubsport wheels. These are currently for sale (SET OF 5), if anyone is interested check out the for sales forum.

The VP was not always manual, as i decided last year that the boring old auto was just not good enough, a 5 speed manual conversion was done, As a family member is a mechanic it was fitted on a nice price with a Heavy Duty Clutch along with it.

The original tacho did not suply me with a rev gauge, so i thought to solve it go with the vs tacho, however i kept the original vp spedo. Mainly to keep things different, and it also kept my original clock.

You Would not be able to tell it was ever an auto. It runs great and goes Hard. soon after the manual conversion was done i got a 2.5" cat back exhaust system installed. I was never going to get an exhaust on the auto, mainly because personally i don't Like the sound of them.

As for stereo i have 2 12" subs, 6X9 in rear and 4" in front and head unit. This is all Sony.

Heres the pics.. Please let me know what you think..

Not a fan of the wheels! But you said there for sale Whats replacing them?

I can still tell it was a factory auto, either by the compliance plate, or the fact you have factory cruise

Interior looks nuts! Just need door trims to set it off now!

And if were talking legends, there should be a sticker of a certain black inter o the back

Yeh I know you can tell by the plates, I meant by driving it and looking at interior. Also yeh cruise didnt come but its a bit extra for me. Cheers stealthy about the interior, Yeh getting power windows soon. Got all wiring and door trims, just need switches and motors for in the doors. cant wait. May get someone else to fit it tho. too much fartin around. Im getting 18" HP fusion wheels (shadow chrome) This week. Ive got the picture of em in there, just did it then.
