Meet the 3 door CL!

[Silver dub]

So VR6 2 door conversions on air with BBS is the new trend!

It's ok Woody, i'll be staying old school static.

And she's back home!!

Had a few minor things occur on the way home from the mechanics the other day but it was nothing to be worried about. Fuel gauge is intermittent as **** but fuah, she goes hard!! 2nd gear is my fav
Exhaust note is alright but I'm getting a new muffler (either Magnaflow or some other sports muffler) because she's very quiet on the downshift and when at idle, and I may also remove either the hotdog or resonator.

Few snaps of how she sits:

Lost a dummy driving around

Other than that, I'll see whoever is heading up to Nats next weekend!

Good work mate! Will have to meet you at nats. Regarding exhaust just get a complete new one if the vr6 one didn't get swapped over as it's smaller and restrictive. If you have the vr6 one just do the suitcase delete. It's cheap and sounds good. I've had a few vr6 exhausts and anything else is just annoying in my opinion.

[stefcio007]

very nice

[junyip_69]

have to agree, even with the straight 2litre gl the suitcase delete gives such a good result!

[drucejnr]

very nice

Thanks!

Thanks Anth and yes, we definitely need to meet at Nats! In regards to the exhaust on there, it's my custom one from the CL; 100 cell cat, hotdog, resonator, muffler and 2.5" piping all the way through. I'm not saying it sounds bad because it honestly doesn't, I just feel the rear muffler is being restrictive and that alone is what I'd like to either swap or remove... Will probably remove it haha. It has R32 raspiness from 2grand until the roar of the engine starts.

But thanks for the input guys, will have it sorted out this week.

Mate by the sounds of it I wouldn't touch it. 2.5" on mine with a high flow, 2 resonators and a back box was just annoying and ridiculous.

I know you want to hear the vr6 roar but from a practical point of view headaches after an hour of cruising and waking the neighbours up late at night is very annoying.

yeah thats what I find odd about my setup though; it's relatively loud from the outside but there is little to no cabin noise whatsoever and I totally understand your point. Apparently mum could hear me from 2 blocks away/going round the block last night at 2am... and she was awake when I opened the door too haha

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh feck bummer about losing a foglight blank!

[ffoff]

Cable tie the dummy to the bumper. Then you'll never lose em

$12 on ebay for another set *sigh*

passengers foglight doesn't light up either - I suspect the bumper may have been dropped/bumped hence why I lost the dummy...

[stefcio007]

I run stock exhaust and I mostly hear just the engine which is nice. It makes a really nice sound around 4k-4.5k RPM but is otherwise tame on the lower end.

Outside it must very quiet, nobody home notices when I pull up in the driveway, which is really handy if I'm coming back late.

[HaydEn]

2.5" with test pipe and gutted muffler = win

[veedubMK3]

Looks great mate!
