He needs to LS it hahaha. Or get IJ to throw an AWD setup under it 

Off to the sparky:

VL wagon with an LS swap would be a nice tow car…. By now you could do a basic LS1 swap in your sleep haha… stick a smallish cam in it to bump up the torque and it’d be perfect, could get the parts for bugger all as well, pick up a VX Berlina or Calais on the cheap and it’ll have almost everything you’ll need

Still no diff. Still waiting for the gear set. Have finished a pergola and spent the weekend staining it with my kids help. Was a fun adventure, I was surprised at how much my kids actually done.

Have some good news though, I’m dropping the VK off to the sparky this Saturday to get the wiring done. He’s done LS into first gen conversions before,…[Read more]

No diff yet. Called the shop and they said they’re waiting on the gear set. Who knows why they told me it was being sent last week, oh well.

Diff is finished and has been sent. Should arrive later this week. Springs and shocks have also arrived

Bugger

Diff is another week away, they’re waiting on some parts apparently. Fine with me cause I’ll be busy with my daughters 4th birthday party this Sat and my twin boys 11th birthday party the following Sat. Plus trying to build a pergola for the missus that was meant to be done before I started working on the VK again. Whoops.

I’ve been using pics from my Facebook account. It’s worked fine so far, dunno how long it will last though

Will I need them boxed with the level of power I’ll have? I’ve read mixed opinions on when to get them boxed.

Just bought some SSL front and SSSL rear king springs and matching Monroe shocks

I’ve found a set of King springs and Monroe GT shocks on eBay for $650, any height I want. I think some coil overs need some mods to fit, or you can buy ones ready to bolt straight in, but they’re well over a grand.

I’m using the factory lower arms, only the uppers are the adjustable ones.

Whats a Salisbury 10 bolt with 3.55 and LSD going for nowadays… hopefully enough to get some new springs and shocks

Diff has been ordered. Borg Warner with Harrop True Track, 3.9’s, 31 spline billet axles, new standard lower control arms and adjustable uppers from McDonald Bros. Should be ready around middle of next week.

I think I’ll just go standard length, that’s the safest option. I had another look, there’s enough room to drop it down about 40mm and tuck the tyre without it rubbing.

kinda looks a bit fatter having the face of the wheels sitting out a bit
