My-88-Vl 07-27-2009, 12:55 AM Bit of an update,unfortunately the new kit parts won't be ready for the NSW All Holden Day.HDT only make them to order so it'll be another couple of weeks before they arrive :(

My-88-Vl 09-05-2009, 10:19 AM Thanks for deleting the post Raymond.I actually have a VLAero sticker (thanks Darryl) and I'll make sure it's on with the next pics.
Got given a set of extractors and 2.5" exhaust from a mate and drove down to Penrith last saturday to fit them.Tried to fit the cat back pipe off the donor car but the slip joint had been welded.Managed to get one from Scotts Rods in Brisbane for $175+$65freight.Much cheaper than the $370 I was quoted down here.
09WNS/14BRK 09-05-2009, 10:52 AM all good man

My-88-Vl 03-25-2010, 11:31 AM Just a question regarding the brakes.On the stock brakes the pads cover the entire rotor surface area,but on the Turbo spec (290mm) rotors,the pads only cover 80 to 90% of the rotor.Will that still give me better braking performance over the stockies?
Thanks
Keith.
My-88-Vl 07-20-2010, 01:02 AM Hi all,been a while.Just a few updates,I've bought a set of power window mechanisms,and a set of power mirrors,all the switchgear plus complete wiring harness to do the job.They won't be going in for a little while yet as new custom reborn leather door trims and bailey channel rubbers have yet to arrive.May as well do the whole job in one go.
The drivers seat leather was beyond repair and would have cost around $1000 to replace.New 2tone reborn leather covers are at trimmers now waiting to get fitted.
I've become an E(vil) bay junkie lately LOL!!
invlhvn 10-25-2011, 05:40 AM Bump..... Car looks good any updates it needs to be one color thought not two tone
