1987 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best value for money car and the go pretty quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The crank angle sensor went, but what VL hasn't though I had to replace the wiper washer bottle, but generally that's all.
General comments?
Personally I think it is the best money I have ever spent on a car it given me no major problems it goes quicker than all the VL's around my area like mine. The only problem I have about the car are the interiors are pretty plain in the executive models so I am beginning to change it.
Things have done to it so far,
- 2.5 inch exhaust.
- 16/8 clubsport style mags.
- cold air induction.
- formular vl head rest inners.
- huge stereo system pumping out over 150db.
- full neon kit.
- super low king springs f/r plus gas ryder shocks.
