If your going to modify a car, what do you do first? Exhaust, front mount etc?
>pic related, my 1986 manual VL Commodore
Depends on the car. Some need better brakes, some need more bracing, some need cooling, all varies.
Minispool, up the boost, Stockies on the back and E1 Clubsport wheels up front.

>any outstanding maintenance that needs doing

Stage 1:
I suggest
1.Begin by cheaking/clearing all your filters.
2.Change your oil.
3.Check their are no major problems with the engine and transmission.
Mods:
1. Change breaks. Dont go fucking super expesive ... by something reasonable, since your not driving a lambo or porche 911.
2. Next get a suspension system that will increase your handling.
>start with those
>>15544942
Nothing cause a stock VL is rare.
that or >>15545157
Brake wise you could go VN Group A but they need a suitable 16inc rim. That or VT brake kit places offer but that seemed hit and miss when I read about it long ago.
>>15544960
Mine needs alot
4 pot conversion
Trans cooler
Bunch of misc shit like suspension tweaks.
>>15544942
You car is a piece of shit. Keep it stock, use it to get to work, save your money until you can buy something better.
>>15544942
Is it a turbo? If not, why the fuck would you need an intercooler
>>15545190
VL's are a good base
unless its rooted
Looks fine, better than the E series
OP save up for one of these pretty sure they drop straight in minimal mods needed.
>>15544942
Stage 2:
For me to go any further you need to state the kind...
As i read on wiki. It stated that their were 4 models.
Do you have the 5 speed manual?
>>15544942
Is it the factory turbo one? CAI, Exaughst and Tune then boost BOOST PSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCCCCCCCCCC
No other car is talked up as much as the VL
VL a shit
>>15545220
no that would be this pos
>>15545223
No, VL a shit
>>15545193
>chuck out the RB30 and put in an AMC 4.0 instead
Wow, you really are retarded Falcunt.
>>15544942
personally if i had a vl these would be the mods id do
minispool with 3.9 diff gears
vt brake upgrade (the stock ones are painfully shit the two pot vt brakes on the front will haul this up well especially considering it weighs 300kilos less than a vt)
>>15545232
>VL a shit
Fuck off newfag
OP, Barraswap the cunt
>>15545260
VL's are shit

>>15545265

>>15544942
First mods:
Leaking seals

new box filter if its not too restrictive
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
distributor/rotor
silicone vaccum lines and intake hoses
new injectors/new filters
fuel filter
then any worn suspension components
lastly some nice tires
>>15545223
despite having an ugly front end, au's are known for being mechanically A grade and can withstand whatever you throw at them. The ugly part means you can get them for bargain prices. you also literally can not go wrong with a 4L straight 6.
>>15545644
dat stage zero
>>15544942
Maintenance and then real engine upgrades like a head swap. Almost anything else is faggy boyracer shit.
>>15545928
Dat all you need friend

Love the satire m8 and I see you already got a (You), thanks for raising the bait game on the board.
>>15545223
>AU Falcon
>shit
You've obvs never owned one. It may look like shit (the first few times you look at it) but it's a fully sick reliable tank and gets prettier the more you look at it.
I miss my AU.
>>15544942
Thats a clean VL.
you should keep it clean, they will be worth money soon because every dickhead on their p plates had one and destroyed it.
