    Default 95 VS Executive

    So guys here she is the new VS to take the place of my sadly missed 97 VS Executive.
    Engine = Stock
    Exhaust = Lukey extractors with standard cat and a 2.5 in Lukey catback
    Sound = Alpine head unit with kicker speakers in the rear and front, I think its a 12 inch Kicker sub in the boot with some no name amp.
    ( Dont know much about audio stuff sorry.)
    Suspension = King spring super lows all round. Only have the backs in at the moment. Front shocks need the dust boots replaced.
    Tint = Nice dark tint. ( No idea what %)
    Wheels = Stockies at the moment. Need to get my VY SS wheels balanced after my crash.
    Air intake = L67 over the radiator cold air intake.
    Diff = Standard
    Interior= stock but plan to find some cheap VT seat.
    LPG conversion
    Brakes = Stock Looking for a Full VT set up.

    Future mods
    Hopefully by the end of feb it will be camed with a mace memcal, spacers and a mace cold air intake, with a set of mace rockers
    to match if there is enough cash left over.


    So she was making a squealing noise all yesterday. took her to the shed and propped her up on some stands to find that the hand brake has been
    constantly rubbing the inside of both rear hubs. Also found that all the callipers were seized, pulled them all of and cleaned them up with some
    anti-seiz. Paint is a bit rough on the bonnet and on the roof hopefully can get some cash one day to fix it up a bit.

    I used 120 grit sandpaper to start off with. Used 120 until all the scratches and imperfection where gone. Then I used 240 grit to remove all the fine scratches that the 120 left behind. Then lastly used 1200 grit to make it look smooth. then just gave it a polish to make it shin. Very easy job it just takes awhile. All the sanding was done with wet sandpaper.

    Looks decent, while I'm not a fan of dual fuel, it does come in handy if you do a lot of K's a week.

    What sort of cam are you looking at putting in it?

    Not sure yet, still have to talk to mace and find a good cam and chip package with maybe some rockers to match.
