story is i had a 308 vk when i was 12 and had to gget drivable car for my ps so i swapped the vk for this vl and 5 grand. it was completely stock and it didnt start s i replaced the fuel tank, bought aftermarket pumps(inter and outer) then replace the fuel filter and fuel rails.
then i replaced injectors and fuels pressure regulator and it still wouldnt start so i looked at spark.
with the ignition system i replaced all spark plugs with after market ngk dual prong plugs, i bought new leads and a new coil pack. fire ball i think they were. then i got a new dizzy and crank angle sensor and tried to start it then and no spark so i bought a new computer with aftermarket chips and tried it the and still no go.
then i spent most of the money i got from the vk on a full motor rebuild with all new forged internals and a bigger camshaft(not sure what stage a mechanic gave me the upgrade) new gaskets and bearings and when i put it all together it stll wouldnt start so i left the motor for a while and decked out the sterion system
i got a kenwood head deck and some kenwood 6x9s and some auspower 6x6s (that light up to your chosen colour) then i ran all that though a big 2000w 4ch kicker amp with two hardfaced 12 inch kicker subs. then i went and got some red and blue neons for show and put them under the seats, boot and dash
then my cousin sold me some 17inch x 8 inch mags that i had to polish up.
it didnt take too long before it started coming good but i gave up on the engine for about 2 years and just let it sit while i did some more to the interior and exhaust system.
i bought a new boss kit and after market steering wheel and saas foot pedals,
leanrt to weld and made my own 2.5 inch exhaust pipe, booted the guts outta the cattalytic converter (for high flow) and some dick face asked me if i wanted him to put a muffler on and i let him do it himself when i was on hollidays. he welded a gay ass cannon onto my exhaust system which really makes my work look ****. the extractors are either redbacks or pacemakers. dont actually know all i know is that they sound tuff.
up until last year i decided to try with the engine again and sprayed a shitload of aerostart into the intake manifold and turned it over and then it finally rewarded my work with a big roar.. but then i hooked up the airflow meter and it was about a hundred times better.
it just sucks now that i spent all the money i had when i could have bought and lsd and a manual conversion with it
The colour is too hektic respray it a non hektic colour wheres the pics ? .
ive been looking hard out for and lsd with disc brakes, ive done alot to the interior eg sterio system, carpet, seat covers ect i had to rewire the dash (which i should have replaced when i had the money) i did the exhaust myself(2.5 inch hi flow cat wit pacemaker or redback extractors.) i rebuilt the engine (replaced pistons rods crank arms and cam. all forged) all ive done to the suspension is bough ultra low kingsprings and replaced ball joints
you can only see that ive changed the wheels but all the work is on the interior and engine.. i think this is what a car looks like as long as it drives good and goes hard
ok soo heres my engine bay now and a few pics of the car about 2 weeks after i bought it. i will get the rest of the picture of the interior now when it stops raining.
