We had a VK Calais, and a friend of mine had an XF Fairmont Ghia...it used to be fun picking the similar parts between them...identical interior roof light, identical glovebox catch, a few other smaller bits and pieces...both companies must have just said "bugger it" at the time and gone for a single supplier...

It's the drag hack..... 32 ETA is the dyno hack (1100rwhp RB26/30 S15) and 34 ETA is the jaw dropper - F360 on 20"+

Go to you tube and search for "Getaway in Japan". Now you can classify what the guy did as a fail but the car and its speed is a win for the history books!
I got the link from Uniquecars so I cant claim finding it, but its pretty impressive.

 Will also post pics with them on the car once they are on

Be careful with stickers like that, somebody who actually likes VN's might get upset and do some damage to your car.

Riksta, I hate to be "that guy" and I don't normally do this but there shouldn't be an apostrophe in that sentence. It should read "VNs Are Horn!". If you're going to commit automotive blasphemy you may as well be grammatically correct.

Don't worry about it, it matches the general IQ of those who drive VNs haha

 New organic style car alarm?? Wonder if it lowers your premiums? Yes the windows were down all the way. Apologies for the brightness of the pic. Was going to try to get the dog to bare its teeth but didnt want to get too close. Cheers

"Only one in the world" ???? Ummmmm er... sorry plenty of coupes have been chopped and there is even two for sale on eBay now. Chopping the roof off weakens the coupe dramatically. At least it seems he has flattened the rear guards a little to make it looks a skinnier.
