Ex-cop VY

Never ever buy a police car.

They ALL get abused BAD.

No they don't.

Ambo's flog cars much better and harder than coppers.

By a fireman's police pack. or the SES. Someone who doesn't get to flog it much.

Or like me you buy them 'new'!

Thing is emergency service cars get service more often with many agencies, though unfortunately many are dragging things out to the recommended dealer services which is dangerous.

I was gonna take one yesterday actually, just never got around to it. Was gonna take a photo of my boot set-up too, i like it, it's imaginitive and i absolutely rock!
I'll see what i can do soon....


Anyways...i've had a sudden jolt of lightning shoot up my @$$ and stuff's starting to happen.

I've ordered the SS Front headlights, which will be arriving shortly, i've decided on the VZSS taillights, which will come my way when i can find a set!!
I'm after 19 GTS Monaro rims (below) i reckon, if i can work out it wont make a difference on my speedo and stuff.
Ordering the HSV Foot pedals, and looking into getting a leather wrapped SS steering wheel.
De-badging this coming weekend, no excuses and as soon as i find a caramel wheel i'm taking off the black side trolley stopper bits

All cosmetic stuff at the moment, i know, but i'd love to get the body sorted out and straightened up and pretty-fuls, then slam a raptor into the engine bay and feel my baby really start to live!!!!!

The rims won't affect the speedo as the larger the rim, the smaller the tyre profile. Sounds good mate. Keep us posted.

Sounds like a good plan mate with the raptor and all.

DUK13Y,

depends on the upgrade of tyre/wheel. My diameter is bigger from 17's to 18's but only marginally. The good thing is if you do the speedo speed you are running slower than the posted speed if you go bigger.

Ok, well i'll stress less then guys, cheers.
I was worried i'd get pulled over doing 100 when i was doing 80:cry:

I'll post up pics as i go, and i'll get some shots of the stereo and stuff this weekend, so WATCH THIS THREAD!

Thanks guys

you can get a electronic speedo corrector from www.shiftkits.com.au I don't know exactly how they work but it is adjustable.

 

[Pimpn1]

that sounds like a nice set up, also the car looks a1

 

[MEANVY]

SHUWEEET.
Thank you ebay, got an SS steering wheel on it's way for a bit under 100 bucks delivered!
Looking around the other ones on ebay were going for like 200 plus 30 bucks for delivery. so i reckon i got it cheap

Still on the lookout for the VZSS taillights, anyone see any let me know
