VP Executive R-spec
My 5 liter VP executive with IRS and FE2 was ordered for a real estate company, what a way to get carried around looking at houses. I can imagine it now. Here we have a nice house, it's just up there around that flat sweeping corner. WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPP :p

1992 VP Executive Wagon, L27 V6 3800
My VP exec was bog grandpa stock until I got it. So it has electric aerial (snapped off in a carpark), electric mirrors, standard immobiliser, suspension pack, central locking (doesn't work, don't ask me why), and a host of other goodies.
It didn't come with a tacho, but I fitted a VS tacho and temp/fuel gauges into the VP lvl 1 cluster. Works a charm. Looks nice too. It's an ex-fleet vehicle.

It's quite simple what we got here, the 5 liter and 3.8 "series one" buick 3800, which was then updated with the "EV6" engine (series 2 VN to VR) then we got the "series 2"/"ecotec" with the VS. That's all :)

My VN series 1 V6 got the electric aerial, power locks, boot release etc but it's not fitted with an o2 sensor. it looks like their is wiring there for it but it earths out under the coil pack (single wire). also, does the 5 speed manual have a rev limiter.....mine won't rev over 4900rpm??? i have a sticking tacho also
