Nice VL but the bonnet doesn't really flow with the car

aglwalker

mate this looks lovely but not a fan of the scoop ay

Chocco

Soooo many mods ayyyyyye

Just looks like another clapped out vl with half a million kms on it

insertcoolname

With a figure like that, you should be able to list the mods quite easily.

Juju beans

carby or fuel injected ?? might give a reason for the scoop

btw nice clean vl man

looks tidy mate, high rise manifold and a 2 inch spacer could be the reason behind the scoop, i dont mind it either way

Scoop looks horrible, other than that i like it!

You need to kill the scoop with fire, and get a grill that fits properly, it's not too shabby otherwise.

EDIT: and the bumper plastics too!

Lose the scoop

gutless

ONN20

number plates are lying, scoop gave my eyes aids, besides that its a very tidy VL, nice and modest with your power output,

No offence m8, nice lookin vl, i like personally like tha reverse cowl its different, but fuk it pisses me off wen ppl say "too much to list" fuk how much time and muny have u invested to create this thing n u cant b fukd writin a 5 min blurb on it??? hopeless. And 320hp from a 355? think u need to talk 2 ya engine builder m8, thats a bit sad but overall nice vl

Nice car, Looks pretty clean and tidy. However I must agree the scoop does not suit the car. You should be able to get 1 horse power for every cubic inch out of that motor with ease.

Mikey72

so you say the engine is a 355, and your number plate is 'blown'. so a blown 355 only pulling 350hp?

How the fuck does it look like another clapped out vl ? Clapped out vl's have faded paint,rb30's and chasers.
This thing is a hell tidy example of a vl, besides the scoop that is.

lol blow me bitch

Why should he have to talk to his engine builder about only 320rwhp???? That much horsepower in a VL would be a quick street car, id say low 12's without many problems. Just because its a 355 doesnt mean he should be making 500-600hp straight off the bat. 320rwhp is very easy to get and is mild for a 355, i had that much in my old VRSS and it was very fun to drive and it weighed more than a VL...

Nice car mate, im not a huge fan of the scoop but each to there own!!!

I owned a Lx hatchback some years ago which made over 400rwhp. Cast iron heads 332 cube, solid cam, roller rockers, torquer 2 manifold, 750 holly carbie and T5 gearbox. Nothing hanging out of the bonnent. This was my daily driver when I was in my 20's. My mate built the engine under his house it never missed a beat or dropped a drip of oil in the time I owned the car.
