Yeah vf is a world apart they are a much better built car.

My brothers senator in the first year and it had a gentle life. Head unit failed, cluster failed, transmission selector light loom failed, tail lights filled up with condesation,  tail light mod loom for led hsv lights failed,  badge front grille plaiting came off, dash platics and seat plastics deformed, roof mount dvd which was never even used fell out of the roof, did front suspension isolators, pcm failed. And talking to the dealers and others with them its not all that uncommon

My brother has a ve senator bought it new. This front visability is terrible. The build quality is atrocious.  They handle and stop well, go well as well. Get the ls3 not ls2. Nice car but be prepared for gremlins

Looks very neat, any plans to paint underneath black?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

I dont think anyone sells them anymore they were a old school sort of thing and to be honest its all old stock. Only reference I could find was this and doesnt say to suit your model. Unsure the difference or if it could be modded.

As far as wiring stuff best to speak to ultimate wiring conversions he is ultra smart.

L67s are making 300rwkw plus on e85 now so I think your time and money could be better spent

How did you work out the hole locations and seal it? did you end up having to do anything for access on the inside?

When are you doing the final touch ups on the tune?

 

 

Does this thing get much attention when you drive it? Sure it would get some interesting responses
