    VT S 5 SPEED MANUAL
    Hey guys, this is my first car!
    After owning a **** heap of a vs that was never going to see the light of day ever again, i sold my dirt bike and bought this vs!
    This one i bought for $1500 car, no reg or RWC, but with buying the car with some mechanical knowledge, i knew i could fix her up for cheap!

    My mate Andrew is one to thank, with teaching me to install roller rockers and replacing a leaking power steering pump :)

    The work for a RWC is Listed:

    PS pump and hose
    Few Globes
    Windscreen
    Steering wheel
    Fix horn
    Engine Mounts
    and little bits and pieces..



    The things thats been done to the fairly stock car:
    Yella terra 1.8 ratio high ratio roller rockers
    NGK leads
    VT Coil pack
    ASA 17" wheels with 235 45 17 tyres
    Pedders in the rear with Monroe Gas sport struts
    Pedders Sport Ryder in the front
    Borg warner V8 3:45 Diff gears
    VS Calais Level 3 Cluster
    Racing seats
    Rear calias Leather seats
    Trans oil cooler
    Rockford fosgate sub and 900W Amp
    Pioneer Speakers all round ( GREAT SET UP )
    4 point harness, ADR approved with the seats ( dont use the harness )
    JVC Headunit
    RDA Rotors all round
    2.5" Catback exhaust with high flow muffler to duel dumpies
    stage 4 memcal
    clear indicators
    de -badged



    The end of the day, iv just got it on the road, and theres still 1000 more things to do to it ( mostly engine )

    Looks nice mate.

    Couple of things:

    Why a 'VT' coil pack?
    2.5" Exhaust will be loud and will lose you a bit of throttle response and low rev range torque, I'd recommend go with stock 2.25" size pipe and put some high flow mufflers on it.
    If it's a VS Series 2, it should have an oil cooler stock in front of the radiator, easily visible through the lower grille.
    Racing seats for a stock daily car will do your head in. Not to mention the harness, end of the day, it's a VS V6, your on your P's and it's not a racecar. A complete Calais/Statesman Leather set will be comfortable and look a bit nicer.

    With the whole VT coil pack, my stock ones went.. so i grabbed them out of a vt and was on the road again :) and it never had the oil cooler, my old one did though! and i agree with the racing seats! i dont use the harness and it just makes me stiffer in the seat, i would love a full calias/stato interior if i had the cash!

    And cheers for the exhaust help :)

    Nice S-pack man your wheels need center caps! Haha Very clean car. Also I noticed that the front bumper strip is red on the outside and black on the inside. Or am I seeing things?
