    Looks good mate, but it needs the front strip. Mine went without it for a while and it looked really dodgy.

    +1 for being a manual too.

    $750 is a great price, but IMO mate you'd be better off saving your money for things like brakes, suspension etc. The only reason I say this is the RB30Es have never really reacted greatly to mods. I have thought about a cam and a chip before, but from what I've seen they're largely a huge waste of money on an N/A.

    They're effectively designed to have a turbo on them. I can't really stop you from your plans, but yeah just a little tip from one VL owner to another. smile.gif

    Trust me I've owned mine for 8 years and you'll be needing money for other things. VLs are like hot super models. Great to look at, but are shits of things sometimes to live with on a daily basis lol. I still love them though.

    Iv had to spent about $700 getting it road worthy. Its all good now so im gunna start on the motor and id rather keep my VL N/A til i get off my P's. Plus id rather hear a worked N/A rb30 then A TURBO rb30.

    I somewhat agree with Ryan86 but since you sound prety set in your path basic headwork and induction is as far as i would go. These hotrods respond really well to a hollowed out cat too lol can notice more down low torque. Maybe some 3.7 gears would be a smart invesment also? looks promising bro just sack it smile.gif

    For what it's worth we've always done pretty well with RB30's responding to mods. I had an atmo R31 with a bit of work that ran comfortable and reliable high 14s. Didn't spend a fortune on it either. Re-ground cam ($110), Headwork (time), XF throttle body ($40) etc etc. If there's one mod I'd recommend doing it's getting a big cam. With a full exhaust and lumpy idle these things sound great! Very raspy savage sound to them. It's important to get the right mods done though from the right place. I agree, a lot of people out there just waste their money.
