Next step is to remove the monster tacho.

Either that or modify the car enough to justify its existence.

Welcome aboard! What inspired you to join FF.au? I don't mind a few various Holden models myself, but I don't feel like I'd want to join a Holden forum on that basis alone... are you contemplating turning to the dark side, I mean from the dark side? :

Hee hee ... good choice.
Must admit ... you have a very clean example of a VL there.
Not over the top either.

We have a couple of Holden fans here, and as long as you don't get all stroppy at us you won't get flamed. Most people here are pretty fair, and if Holden does a good job of something it is readily acknowledged.

Welcome to FF.au.

p.s... Just be sure to avoid Laminge and his G-String, and Casper and his Taser. I am currently learning this lesson the hard and incredibly painful way.

In Newcastle theres heaps of sh*tty VLs which is why I worry about coming onto a forum like this and worry about people bagging it cause of all the crap ones there is around which gives the guys with the nice ones (Like me) a bad name.

Same there is a lot of sh*t Vls here too or ones with 20inch chrome wheels with number plates like 'phat vl'.

I personally prefer mine over ones with walkinshaw style or Group A bodykits. Nice clean cut vls look the best. btw i've looking at getting 18'' VY SS wheels also :

VLs look better without bodykits IMO.

I just found out my alternator is screwed so I wont be able to drive it.
