    Default VT berlina project

    Hey guys kinda new to forums but here is my ride so far

    Its a 98 model VT with a stock ecotec its our daily driver I have done a few things to it:

    VZ Clubsport front bar
    Monaro style headlights
    Ultra low king springs
    wood grain dash
    Eonon DVD player
    MTX 6" splits in the front 6" Alpine S Class in rear doors and 6*9 Alpine S class in parcel shelf running off a Pioneer amp
    KN pannel filter

    I just rebuilt a engine to drop in it specs are:
    Fully chemically cleaned block and decked
    bored and honed to 40thou
    new pistons and molly rings (bent one oil spacer and had to buy a whole new set for $200) and new crank
    Stage 2 COMP cam
    Double row rollmaster timing chain
    Fully balanced
    Reconditioned heads with LS1 beehive springs shaved retainers to give the springs a install hight of 1.8"
    Port matched the heads as well
    and polished rocker covers from MACE and REDVS2 polished my manifold for me came up very nice! think thats all hope to drop it in the car very soon.

    Hope to get some mags soon not sure what ones yet and leather interior waiting for my new sub box to come so I can install my Soundstream T5 sub
