Hey there I have a pretty much stock vl with extractors I own 4 vl's now and I'm trying to come up with a great vl using all my parts. I re-sprayed it black with a red pearl, but it has no power please!! Help me I'm 17 on my p's and are under power restrictions anything you know would help me just e-mial me at my_garage_is@hotmail.com, Thanks heaps.
Every ones car sounds great. I am only 16, but I love the 87 VL Commodore, and can't wait to own one, but what type of motor should I have for max speed and power?
Long live the VLs.
Well, if you fall under the new p-plate law, you can get only the 3 litre(non-turbo), because p-platers can't drive V8 or turbo.
Hey, I wanna know where did you get the chip and the camshaft from, because I'm interested. Can you email me at shibbi_13@hotmail.com, cheers mate!
If there are any people from Melbourne Australia who know about the mods to a VL Commodore. i.e chiptorque hp3 and cam to suit, and the whereabouts in Melbourne eastern suburbs I could get these mods done, I would be really grateful.

Hi, I've got one of the first produced VLs (#414 of 151,801). I have researched these cars since the came out (yes I'm old). I can say this to the younger motorists reading; save your money and do theses mods for legal power. Exhaust 2.5 inch, stage 2 cam (quality brand), and cut the front of the air box out. Oh and don't forget the chip stage3. All you need.
I know the original post was set up around 2001, but for anyone new who wants a little info, I can help!
I've only just purchased a VL wagon. High Km's "475,000". Still runs on the original motor, and I've done an install on a stage 3 chip. It's really easy to do. I'm real cluey when it comes to auto mechanics. I've also got other tips and tricks to get more out of your VL Commodore, including pics. I intend to, shortly setup my own web page dedicated to the VL Project, so there will be lots there. Some parts can be expensive, but the mods that I've done so far have only cost me around $100. Not bad for a 30HP at the wheel gain in power.
Long live the "L"!!!
