Hi guys,
Well it appears as though I'll be getting myself a red manual VS V6 station wagon at the end of the year . It belongs to the company I work for, which is also my dad's company, and I'll be getting it for probably $3000. Anyway, it's in great shape so I'm not really worried about any mechanical problems - fairly new clutch (it's done about 236,000kms), new diff (about 2 weeks old), new exhaust, CAI. Heavy duty suspension because there was always a couple hundred kilos of stuff in the back.
Anyway, I have just a couple of questions:
It's an Executive station wagon. Is it possible to fit 17"x8" rims into it? I would love 8" rims but I know they don't fit nicely into a VN without scrubbing.
Moreover, has anyone got any pictures of the VS Clubsport wheels? I *think* they're the ones I've been trying to find. 5 spokes, they sort of branch outwards from the centre with a flat surface? I had a photo on my phone but I think I put it on the computer at work. Anyway, they're the coolest wheels ever (in my eyes ) and I'd love to get some.
Ummm... Yeah... Any prominent problems in the VS I should be looking out for? As far as I know it's in really good condition and the guy who's been driving it for the last 5 years isn't too much of a hoon.
