Hi all,

I have a 99 vt wagon that has the series two lights, however it doesn't have any series two badges. Is there anyway I can tell if it was a geniuine series 2 or 1? Engine number? stamp on the memcal? I am hesitant to go with production date incase there was a lapse over on launch with engines and bodys etc

The reason I am interested is to do with possibly getting a mace memcal, I understand there was an updated tune with series 2 engines from holden and that the major improvments with a mace memcal are to the series 1 engines. However I am not hunting power gains, engine is stock standard running 91, just interested in better fuel economy and slightly better response and shift changes.

So is there a way to tell? and what are your thoughts on the mace memcal to a stock engine? it will stay stock aswell its just a daily driver.

Going to half answer my own question, the date on the engine tag is Feb 99 so I am guessing its not a series 2 engine/computer. Someone must of changed the lights over at some stage to look like S2.

Next question is, I know it has had a replacement engine dropped in a year ago. Is there a stamp on the block somewhere that I can find a number which will tell me what year the engine is?

Any opinions on the Mace memcal?
