    Default Brenton's 1996 VS Acclaim

    74Hey everyone finally got some photos together of my vs (not the best quality pics), so story is i bought this about 2 and a half months ago, since then i've had a few probs with it, etc (blocked injectors, coil pack) & to top it off some bitch crashing in the front end of my car =(, got it running good now but, anyway here is some pics, Idea's/suggestions ??

    Performance Mods: Pacemaker extractors, 2.5" exhaust, K&N performance air filter

    Stereo Mods: Vdo&Dayton? headunit, not sure what speakers, clarion sub & clarion 4X amp

    Exterior Mods: Clubsport bodykit, Not sure what Mags (but i dont like them), removed trolley strips (yet to get off the sikaflex)

    Interior Mods:Currently have door trims off & painted & gonna re-do the inserts with a vinyl (hoping to find some calais interior but)

    Extra mods: Slotted rotors, Floor LED'S, Nolathane Bigger Sway Bar's, Lowered

    Future Mods: Replace engine with one with less k's, stage 2 shift kit, GreenFoam tune, bigger throttle body, monaro cv-8's or maybe some doritos leaning towards the doritos, new coilpack, new speakers & seperate amp, paint & retrim interior or find calais or statesman interior, Many more in mind but i need the fundage 1st lol

    Stuff that needs doing:
    Car temperature creeps just over half when at lights
    Fuel gauge inaccurate
    rear brakes
    new window tint
    bonnet
    clean engine bay
    Annoying boot rattling, when sub is on
    re-gas aircon
    new boot light
    interior light needs fixing
    brake light/fast blinking indicator
    new dash (air bag cover has lifted)
    Oil Filter
    Fuel Filter

    Stuff i have recently done:

    Added 82 Degrees Thermostat
    Cleaned Throttle Body & Plenum
    Added black velour car-seat covers


    Before crash:






    Now:
