Thought it was about time to post up some pics of my wagon.. I've had it few years now, has a VT roller 5.0lt in it and just done a bit of work to it.. it was siting around for about a year and after driving it for a week the spider plate that holds the lifters in broke which caused a lifter to drop and damage the cam.. some luck was when the motor was ripped down the bottom end had just been done.. *Recently done single plane high rise torque power manifold, holley 1000cfm quad throttle body, 6AL MSD Ignition, K&N 9x5 filter, aeroflow fuel rails and few other bits. Soon to have a 5" reverse cowl on by the end of the year. Heres a quick list of things done to it..

Wow, another VR Clubby wagon. Didn't think I'd see another one of these. (other than the one we already have). You haven't had to replace the compressor for the rear air shocks at all in its life have you?
At the moment we are, the compressor is stuffed. However Holden nor HSV sell the same model number any more, so we have to source a newer one. Just a number of endless things to fix. Yours is looking good. Keep up with it.
Hahaha yea that's what I said abou my motor... I wonder if a air bag suspension place could have something similar? Worth a try... Thanks, when its all tuned up ill be sure to post results.. Got any pics of yours?
Ill try to get one or 2, its got the back bumper off at the moment to sort this problem out. Also doesn't have many of the badges or stickers on it, they are in a safe place. Too many people keep stealing the badges. But enough about mine (well, not mine, my parents), this is your thread after all
Haha na not at all, there a rare car so it's good to talk to people who have them! I thought about taking my badges n stuff off mine, because not many people know about them i feel people look at you like your trying to make 1 up... Or maybe it's jus me.. Lol :/
True, and when you explain to them that it's a genuine VR Clubsport wagon they look at you funny and say they had never heard of them. Ours used to be a daily for almost a decade, and only in the last few years since we got our mother a getz and each of us our own cars has it been put in the driveway and almost never driven.
I thought of taking the badges off mine, I always thought people look at ya like an idiot tryna make a clubsport wagon cause they never knew they existed.. Na, not at all it's good to hear from others who have them.. Even If its their parents..
Back from the tuners, not the sort of result I'm after thanks to the stupid bananas.. New 1000cfm throttle body and manifold to come i reckon.. Also he said a new MSD ignition set up would benefit it heaps... Dam things never end!
