Thanks guys geez been a while between updates haha will have to get some better pics soon but in the meantime here’s some updates stole some mint rear quarter windows with nice black trims not faded and crap like most of them these days from a vs dad had with 132000kms put all new ybrakes on it standard rears vt upgrade on the front and some koni red adjustable rear shocks handles way better now

Went to the local 1/8th mile drags with my brother for a bit of fun traction on the terrible old airstrip was severely lacking but made it more fun haha even made it on the local news for 5 seconds of tyre blazing fame lol

Little skid video on the way home too lol

Mans also got a new panther mica bonnet without a bulge needs a re spray but does the job

Bit of an update on this nothing new really got some new bits and installed them but no pics cause I have a new phone found a set of velour vs berlina door cards, carpeted kick panels, velour sun visors and a felt lined caprice glovebox little things not many people will notice but makes it feel a little more classy lol in reply to previous questions about gears mine sits on 2250 at 100kmh (120 on the dash) with 3.73s anyway washed it last week so had to take a pic haha

Freshly polished Tri spokes and a coat of wax always deserves pics

Nope each bank is separate old school style did consider a merge and still might eventually but was just modifying what was there already to be a bit more street friendly for now although it would be way over the db limit feel better driving it with a complete system rather than hacked at the diff

I actually don’t like the vn group a bulge I will remove it when I get the roof and wing etc painted and find a better bonnet anyways pics of the exhaust will get some better ones next time it’s on the hoist started with this

Put in some flanges before the cats

Tail pipes and 3 inch tips painted all the piping in high temp flat black

Need to play with the rear mount to straighten the tips

[sv89#170Participant NswVN SV89, VN Plus 6, Vs clubsport View build HERE Member since: March 4, 2015 Posts: 55]

Made up some tailpipes with my brother the other day to make it a bit more legal lol rear mount needs adjustment so the tips sit right but heres a quick video

Been a while but the clubby has been unregoed since August finally got around to getting it back on the road and got it registered on Monday forgot how much fun it is :D anyway finally been able to give the new diff a decent work out certainly helped with its low down sluggishness due to the size of the cam she picks up a lot quicker and pulls even harder than it did from 3000rpm still needs a retune badly but glad to be back driving it again and annoying my neighbours haha really need to get around to starting a thread on my sv89 too but here’s a couple of pics 

[sv89#170Participant NswVN SV89, VN Plus 6, Vs clubsport View build HERE Member since: March 4, 2015 Posts: 55]
