GILLO's VT Berlina - SS Kitted - VY Sigs - Leather Interior

[Killr6]

the mix of VT and VY looks very very good, did the VY wheel bolt straight on? i have vz one i want to put into mine.

[Full Spectrum]

Yeah mate I've had it all done for about a month now. Had a few little problems when going in but that was all sorted quickly. Been running like a dream, and goes so much quicker now which puts a nice smile on my face. Put in an Exedy heavy duty clutch when it went in with solid flywheel.

Lovely, and it proves manuals might be harder to get the power down perfectly consistently, but faster they sure are.

Hows the clutch weight not to bad or heavy?.

Just a few pics of the interior how it looks after the manual conversion.




Just for those interested they are VY SS pedals. The shifter is a VY knob painted to match the satin silver on the VY steering wheel, handbrake, pedals, and door handles. And the leather boot is from a monaro, much better than the standard VT/VX gear.

Brilliant work all looks brilliant. It does look better with 3 peddles .

So i take it your having fun driving it around so much you forgot to update . Rich will be jealous soon.

Thanks mate, yeah the VY wheel is bolt on. I think the VZ wheel is a bit different though that's what I've heard.

No matter what it's better to drive a manual anyway. Clutch is fairly heavy but you do get used to it.
No interest in 2 peddles haha. The VY gear definitely shits all over the VT/VX stuff, way classier.
Yeah exactly I'm enjoying it way too much to even think about these things, its so much more fun to drive. I want to see what he says on this too haha

very nice clean car mate looks like a lot of works gone into it

how much did the manual conversion cost overall?
and was it much hassle?
thinking of doing one soon

Thanks mate yeah a lot of work for sure.
Picked up the conversion for $1200
Fitting was $600
Also put in a Heavy Duty clutch at the same time so that was extra too.
Was an issue with not having the right bearing, and got given the wrong slave cylinder but that was sorted, it was a bit of a headache but well worth the hassle in the end, I'm never having an auto car ever again I guarantee that.

Definitely do it, you'll never look back!

Thanks mate its comments like yours that make doing all the work to cars worth it.
Yeah the steering wheel looks mint, took me about 2 years to get around to it but did it in the end, its way better than the vt wheel.
I love the rims, but I would love some 20" Supersports on it.
The VX Calais Garnish sets off the back end, the standard VX Garnish is just too plain and boring.
The wheel is just bolt on, I'm surprised more people haven't done it actually.

How do you put the chrome door mouldings on? I'm looking a set for my VT. Is it just a straight swap?

[Killr6]

yeah its just one screw per door mate so easy to do. and the top molding is just a whole bunch of screws.

[Bezzey]

Oh yeah sweet cause I seen pics of them and I was wondering why there's a real thick section, I guess that's the part with a few screws?



Result of my steering wheel control installation!
