- VYII Equipe
to start with i know what i propose is expensive and nightmarish when it cames to electronics so though crazy it's something i am truly dedicated to doing
ok i have a vyII coming into my possession in the next few days, it was my fathers and he is leaving to travel around australia ( lucky dog retired at 52 and plenty of money to enjoy the rest of his life) so he has a 4X4 and doesn't need the commodore. i currently drive a magna v6 3.0 litre. i have an interchangeble air bag suspension kit (i bought a kit that, combined with the way i installed {im a fabricator :yahoo:} will go straight on to the commodore {planned ahead :yahoo:}) i have an 8 inch LCD touchscreen, and a home made car computer {im also an IT pro double :yahoo:{i swear that was the last yahoo sign}) as well as a few choice other options just kicking around in my garage that i've collected off various commodores.
now for the question. well first a statement. i know that with manuals what i propose is possible but thats a little different. im intending on replacing the automatic gearbox with a ..... this sounds stupid to my own ears.... a 6 speed tiptronic transmission from a VE (dont know difference between sv6 and SS transmissions on the VE's).
now with a transfer plate and a lot of wiring and probably some programing and maybe a visit from my uncle's scrutineer's or HRT mates. is this possible?
any idea's on what sort of work im looking at, i know of stated wiring and programming but what sort of wiring changes will be required?
any help is appreciated
