Nice car mate pat your brother on that back for me. Did he build this himself or buy it with the majority of the work done?

[JOE185i]

Top car John the dose sounds nuts. It doesnt need new rims I like the stockies you have on it now :D

[TMPTIN]

he did most of the work himself....but the car came with the bodykit, mini spool & wheels (Which we are trying to sale at the moment.)

[fek^.]

Has he done any headwork?

[TMPTIN]

honestly I wouldnt know...but I will find out and keep you posted.

[fek^.]

yeah no worries mate. Was just wondering if perhaps had done a rb25 headswap its a good conversion to do. Anyway all the best with the car.

[MacoVL]

boared out to 3.6L????? gee i thought only overboaring 50 thou was risky enough as it is. 3.6L is it possiable???? man i gotta check up on it.

[vx_cinnibar]

Looks nice!!
Im attached to vl's now!!

Another good example!

[TMPTIN]

man trust me its 3.6ltr I know that for sure.

[DarkRayne]

Awsome car! gotta love the Vl turbo models! :D.. the purple is nice too!.

[TMPTIN]

What rims do you guys reckon would look good on this car? Any suggests.

one word... Simmons :D

[JOE185i]

Some Vy gts rims or some fr18's.

[boofski]

sweet as mate, love the colour, FR-18's would be a good choice

[[TUFFVQ]]

3.6L?
I don't see that happening with a bore
no way

[bewshay]

thats looks awesome

[bewshay]

hold itm bored out to a 3.6L, never seen that b4
crazy stuff

[calaisRB30]

really nice man

[AVGTS]

tuff car john. its got a sik dose. if u get rims get 19 inch VX GTS's or VY Signature Senators

[TMPTIN]

about the bore it is either 3.5 or 3.6 my brother is checking today to make it clear for us. I reckon VN Aero's would look good also (as below, i know its a s%^# editing job but its just to have an example). Also thanks for the ideas Simmons FR's would look good and also VY GTS or Senator Signatures.

[TMPTIN]

here is with VN Aero Rims (This is badly edited)

[Miz_VL_Turbo]

lol there is no way that is bored out to 3.6L!

It is also a RB30ET, not a RB30DET. The RB30's are not twin cam.

gotta say your right there. and for boaring it cant be 3.6 or even 3.5 that will have to be board stroked and shit like that. also if you boare it out to round 50 thou your really risking some cracking between pistons there mate. and i dont see an extra 600mL comming out of a rb30.

[ATMO BT1]

yeah that sounded a bit suss!

SWEET CAR THO MAN! love the vlt's! :)

[LS1_Wagn]

nice vl dude, the colour looks great. vy gts rims would look sweet i reckon :)

[AVGTS]

what car do u have john? wouldnt happen to be an EA FALCON 5 SPD MANUAL WOULD IT?

[TMPTIN]

yeah im selling it

[Spasm]

man trust me its 3.6ltr I know that for sure.

3.6L isnt possible, unless its some kinda of stroker

[spirit77]

3.6 would be pushing it....but who cares? Its a sweet looking car mate and with the t3/4 and big cooler on the front it would pull hard.
Mag wise its up to you but id say a minimum size would be 18's. Fill the gurards up and suit the kit on it better.

[TMPTIN]

thanx spirit77.

[vp turbo]

looks good mate

[Woodys_VN]

nice car mate
the stock rims look alright but bigger rims wouldnt hurt lol :D

[hsv671]

i like it, very nice indeed

[SUS-304]

nice vl mate! good colour!

[Dato_Steve_]

that looks awesome mate:D

[JOE185i]

John we need to put the new pics up now that its gettin detailed and a new set of stockies tomorrow :D

[bewshay]

actually looks pretty good with the aeros

[Darb]

nice vl mate, for rims i'd get these in like 19" at least ;)

[OFNDER]

hey mate that looks great got any better pics??

[[TUFFVQ]]

I put my 18" VT GTS rims on my mates VLT last night. They look mad, a huge improvement from the 16" senator copies he normally has.
So 18's will do you nicely.
