darrens 5spd VT 5litre...VX clubsport lookalike

[dbarnes]

Installed those VE/Audi led's... next will be angel eyes and foglights, then respray the front bar and new brackets etc.

Also lowered the rear more with a SSL's, I used to hate IRS but now I love it, its lower than my live axel VS used to be and its not even bumpy. Added chrome covering to the middle pillars.

Dyno'd it a few weeks ago, has been retuned before with kalmaka software so he reckons...it made 224hp which is pretty good considering its only got a catback exhaust.
We bypassed the air intake on the final run and gained 16kw at the wheels!!! Just shows how restrictive the stock setup is.... I've bought a K&N Filter now im chasing down extractors and SS induction or similar to get it all breathing properly.

Looking good man , did you sell the vs ?

Nice car mate looks tough as, nice colour choice for your interior, although i might be a bit biased haha, i wish that interior set was around when i was looking for leather. When my set popped up, its not in the best condition, but it had been the only set i could find in this colour for ages, so i got it.

I reckon if you've got the time, try and get all the suede bits and the door trim leather inserts onto your old door trims glove box etc. I've got mine against the black anthracite colour door trims and i reckon it looks wicked.

havent been on this thread in awhile, but time to get back into updating on here lol...

Has had a couple of changes over the last year. Ive been studying and only just started my new job so I will have time to do more now.

So far Ive done:

- Chrome door handles
- VX Calais chrome moulds (thick ones)
- New double din headunit, amp and two 12 inch subs
- Chrome engine covers
-HID's

Also had whitewalls on for a bit but they got dirty real quickly.

Has had a brand new rear bar put on this year due to someone running up the back of me!

Have also debadged in and plan on getting the boot and bonnet shaved and then resprayed of course.

Have still serviced it and have replaced the radiator, all new belts and idler pulleys.

List of things to come:
Fix rooflining
Get foglights
Shave bonet and boot
HID highbeams
Pacemaker extractors
New air compressor
Service brakes
New carpet

...sure there is other stuff that I can't remember



Today however I got defected for 20's, ride height and loose battery. So gonna have to chuck my old springs in the back, put stockies on it and get a batter clamp and then get a blueslip! :axe: ...And then just change it all back

Going to wash it later today so I will grab some new pics and upload them tonight.

Heres a few shots over the last year, some from a wedding I did with a mate. Some pics have the lion badges on the car but theyre now gone.
