1987 Holden VL Calais Turbo

Here is my VL. (Dont forget to check out page 2!!)
I bought it late in 2004, Back then it looked the same as it does now, but had a few problems that have now been fixed.
I have changed the GFB boost controller for a Duel Stage Boost Controller
I have a HKS Turbo Timer waiting to be installed
It has a high flow turbo (T04 front end, T04 internals and a T03 rear end) leading directly into a 3" exhaust.
Redline POD filter
Huge frontmount intercooler.
Auto box with 2500RPM stall converter.
Inside is looked after with 5% window tint, Alpine indash TV with two other TV's sitting and waiting to be installed into the front seat head-rests. Soundstream DVD player and Pioneer speakers run by a Alpine amp, and soon i will have 2 12" subs.
Splitfire 5" tacho
Splitfire boost guage
Splitfire Oil Press, Water Temp and Volts (waiting to be installed)
Chequer plate floor mats add a nice touch also.
I have lost my license at the moment, so when i get my license back, im hoping to have all the above installed. Other then that, i have just fixed a few other un-important things on the car. Hope you enjoy and feel free to leave comments be they harsh or good :)

UPDATE - Finally got my license back (about 3 months ago! LOL). Got some 18" rims, Got the TV's installed in the head-rests and new 6x9" Soundstream Tarantula speakers in the parcel shelf. A new pod filter from K&N is in the engine bay now. The torque converter in the auto decided to give-in, so a new Dominator 2800Hi-stall has been put in. The old intercooler has been sold to make way for the new Hybrid style 600x300x75 which will be put on with-in the next 2 weeks, also getting the air-conditioning working for summer! And once that is all done, i will be putting my money into the soundsystem


Above is my terrible attempt of a tidy engine bay... Well i tried.. Better then it looked before.


I LOVE this shot! Although i need to fix the chip on the front bar


Just another random shot that i like.
