Wraiths 2004 VZ Berlina V8

[wraith]

So VZ is still for sale with no takers. Radiator has decided it's had enough and has a leak now. Have a new one on the way. It's 400km off the 190k km service so got all the stuff to do it when the radiator arrives.

No idea if people are still following this thread but any hoo. Finally fixed up the dodgy cutting on the shroud for the temp sensor. Was going great till I slipped and marked it as you can see. Also found a replacement for the airbox bolt I lost....from the old Mazda no less. Hoping radiator get's here tomorrow because it's annoying not being able to drive it.

where did u get your sensor and loom from or has one been wired in from an earlier ls1?

Got it from GM Motorsport. Was about 90 bucks all up. No gain at all. Doubt even an OTR would be a gain on a VZ LS1. The stock intake is just that good.

Why you selling the V8?

 

[wraith]

Never really got into it. No point having a car you don't like.

I suppose that's a good point, what's on the cards next?

 

[wraith]

VX replacement. Volvo XC90 if I can find one in my budget.
