    The reason is im respraying the whole car anyway and read up on putting a VS dash into VN/VP and seems like a whole lot of fart arsing around. The main reason however is that I want IRS and its virtually impossible to find a VP with IRS (mum has like the only one ever made and she wont sell it to me XD)
    but yea
