So, after a good while away from Holden I'm back in style and its good to be back. Ive owned many Holden's and was always a Holden man but got bored and needed a challenge. I had everything from the enemy to ricers and even Patrols. Well, its the GQ I had that got me my new ride. Tb42E 5 speed with a 3" lift. What i got for the Troll was a 1996 VS Equipe, with a L67 running 10psi, pacies with 3" pipe all the way, matching auto that's been shift kitted. Friggin things a weapon and half my fuel bill compared to the GQ.
First up, I know the charger had new bearings, coupler and a freshen up 20,000km ago. Id rather change the charger oil and be sure, so that's first on the list. Ill do a run to Holden Monday for that. Ive got some response speakers coming for the rears in the mail ( cheap on ebay for $50), they'll go in when they arrive. Speaking of audio, she is screaming for an amp, so that will come too. Aiming for no sub or light designed sub so I dont rip myself off on any ponies.
She needs LSD. Its a single spinner solid axle rear. She fries tyres 1st, 2nd for sure as is. Needs new tyres soon too. Blokes got cheapos up front and they'll need a change. Rears are Dunlop Sp Sports so okish. She also has the dreaded harmonic balancer rattle on idle, but its running true so its more a pain than harm but will need to be done.
ID be interested to know if its on lows with the 17's as is. Its a good height but I reckon a stiffer setup would be better as its a little boaty. Best thing about a VS, parts a plenty and friggin cheaper than fourby parts for sure. This ones a keeper for me. Ive got front complete twin piston fronts to go on to her but for now the single bangers are ok. Needs a bleed for sure so Im going to flush it while Im there. Do it once and do it right. Im aiming for a cruiser and a bit of fun. She does that now and Id love to see how she went at the lights as is. The previous owner had a manila folder full of its entire history and the l67 history. He is a mechanic and this was his pride and joy, but with his license on the line the Vs had to go. Im too old to hoon, but I still have my nuts in one bag.
My phrase for this car, more ass than class. That's saying something as its all power options and is only missing leather and climate control.
