Hey, I'm new here and I live in Australia, drive a VT Series 2 Calais with L67. At the moment it is only putting out 225rwhp but that is soon to change with the parts I have organised. Also has coilover suspension and 20x8.5" Verde Madonna wheels.

yeah we got the L67 from around '97 to '04. We have a Gen3 M90 with a u-bend at the rear of the blower housing to throttlebody as the engine is mounted north-south rather than east-west (RWD baby ).

You also got our GTO although I prefer the aggressive front on ours:

Welcome to BC, Matt!

Your ride looks sharp! You'll have to post some more pics up in the "Your Ride" section. There is certainly a lot of L67 info here. How did you find out about us?

And I agree that your GTO has a nicer, more aggressive look to it.

Well, I already saw your thread in the "Your Ride" section. That Holden Special build is going to rock! Make sure you keep us posted on that one.

It'* nice to see something completely different now and then. Plus, if we're lucky, we might learn a thing or two also.
