Thanks, Ill paint it myself when I get time as Im actually a painter, its really straight apart from a couple of dents on the guards so its mainly the scratches. Yeah the 5L does feel a bit slow compared to this so I might have to do something about that..
Thanks for that, will order myself one soon

Not much to update but I put some floor mats in, changed the plates to my XX ones from the calais and have now washed it a couple of times. Used it on a trip to IKEA to help a mate redecorate his room
Basically his whole new room except for his bed
Last week one of the hinges for the hardlid came off the body because where it was screwed into…[Read more]

$50? Im pretty sure my standard sway bar was the same as the one I put in from the BT1 but id have to double check that. Might just be worth measuring some at U Pull it to see if there are any there

Yeah it sat something like that
found the pic I was looking for yesterday, this is how it sat. I Think the sports rider front springs in my Acclaim sit around the same height, maybe just a touch lower

These are the codes and part numbers from the springs I removed from the BT1

Ive still got both, swaybar is on my car but I dont remember it having a two letter code on it, the springs I think they still have a sticker on them but will have to check

Ive still got the stock FE2 springs from the BT1 I stripped but it was IRS. From memory it sat just above the tyre, only have a couple of crap photos showing this before I stripped it. I can grab some photos of the springs if your interested

I couldnt see anyone paying 5-7K for a n/a V6 personally, But yeah im happy with what I got for it seeing as it was such a quick sale
-
thatotherguy94 replied to the topic VS II Calais in the forum VN – VP – VR – VS 7 years, 9 months ago
Yeah it probably was a bit cheap but being it was a quick sale I was happy to let it go for that, I payed less for it 2 years ago, although it was filthy and had a couple of issues. Replacement is an SSZ ute but I still have my acclaim which will never go anywhere.
I love them,…[Read more]

Picked up this SSZ locally, was pretty much everything I was looking for which was, manual, twin hump hard lid and sunroof. Its a pretty clean and straight car for its age with the only real damage being someone has scratched both sides. Its 99% stock with the exception of a different exhaust tip I think. I found it after my dad told me about it…[Read more]

An update to this, put a new fuel pump in and it seems to be starting a lot easier and running a lot better now, also fixed a couple of small things ive noticed since owning the car so must have been on its way out for a while now. Also noticing better fuel economy going off what the dash says since changing the pump so thats a bonus

thatotherguy94 replied to the topic VS Acclaim, now V8 in the forum VN – VP – VR – VS 7 years, 9 months ago
Its good for removing dust from sitting around for a while, but if the cars too dirty it still needs to be hand washed. It does soften the built up dirt and bug crap tho which makes hand washing easier and supposedly helps reduce swirl marks
