You're allowed bucket seats as long as they can bolt straight onto the original rails. Example, my 1983 Ford Courier Ute is defective because the rails were too short to bolt straight onto some bucket seats my mate gave me from his old VK, so I had to add a few screws, but since the same seats bolt straight onto the stock VL rails, they are legal. Basically, you could put Corolla seats in your VL as long as they bolt straight onto the rails. You can always just put some nice seat covers over them so the fuzz doesn't get sniffy.

Oil leaks are frowned upon, BUT you can get away with them if oil isn't spurting everywhere when you drive.

Gday, had a few vls, what is listed above is common, crank angle, fuel pumps, ignition modules etc, another thing that makes them stutter at about 4krpm (if auto) is the overdrive when there stuffed, does it stutter with the power switch on? (ie overdrive is off)

I hate overdrive, most useless piece of crap in a car. My button went on my S13 so when I got to a certain speed I had to hold the button down otherwise my engine would cry

in that case why dont you pull up the surround around the gear lever and join the wires together, ie take
switch out of the circut.
