1987 Holden Commodore VL Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump replaced.
Crank angle sensor replaced.
Odometer works when it wants to, not sure if it can be fixed.
General comments?
Since having the car I have done a few little things to it. Just recently 2 pac respray.
2.5 inch sports exhaust, sounds a hell of a lot better.
Put in a Kenwood CD Player with a pair of 6" x 9"'s in the back.
At the moment the car goes great and sounds very good. But I'm still wanting to get more performance out of it.
Looks great and a good all round cruising car. Has no traction in the wet though.
Future mods for my car:
16" mag wheels and tyres.
Cold air induction with a K&N.
Extractors.
Camshaft.
Port and polish the head.
Possibly chip it.
Anyone with suggestions leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
