VC SL/E Stationwagon

[CalaisVKiller]

Try A Vk calais wheel they might fit plus they look the good in my opinion as for an engine swap i'd buy a wrecked vr or vs with good motor gearbox and **** as the WHOLE front end fits easily enough into them.

Well i reckon a Momo style sportsy would be good, if they were cheap!!!!.

I've been playing around with a few ideas. Does anyone have an opinion on the idea of throwing a supercharged 454 big block in with the carby hanging up out of the hood?

I think it would look rather menacing, and I can't imagine too many street racers that would be willing to take it on.

I've also got a question about the steel braided mesh that people sleeve over engine hoses. One of my hoses split today, and I was wondering if the mesh provided any form of protection, or if it was just for looks. Also, do they require any special type of fitting, like a screw fitting, or do they just sleeve over the stock hose fittings?

Sorry for the thread revival.

I'm currently selling this car. Please see http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/showthread.php?p=444480#post444480 for details. If anyone is interested in it, preferrably in the Sydney area, please let me know. I need to get rid of it to make room for a new ute, so the faster it goes, the happier I'll be.

Tyer Chew - Could be your rear upper and lower control arm bushes / maybe a wheel alignment is needed. / Tyers might be going crap, they may have tread but old age counts.

The clunk is most likely the uni joints as i have the same issue and its getting replaced, but i have noticed the clunk can get worse sometime if the rpm is set to high.

Tyres are new. This car is my daily driver, tyres get replaced often.

No matter, car is on the market now, not going to bother fixing up anything else, no return on investment anymore. Going to be losing about 5 times the car's value no matter what I do so...

very nice... so when it goes are there any more projects on the horizon?

I'm buying a 2004 VY II SS Ute for work/play. Probably won't modify it too much, I'll be paying it off for just over a year, but it's already had a little bit done to it so I'm not complaining.

SSZ hardcover, 19" wheels, lowered suspension, short shift kit...

Nice car.

The ute is the reason I'm selling the VC.
