A little bit off the topic lol... but how did you manage to take the photo of the car leaving the background grey? :)

Use Photo Shop. U kind of 'select' the car by deep etching it - tracing round it, and then separate it from the rest of the pic that u put into B&W, or whatever u want.

haha no, I was joking abt the deep etching :) Have used PS a bit myself and generally zoom in to grab all the pixels and then lightly feather the edges so all good.

Bought mine in 08 and have put 85,000k's on it since. Considering it's been abt $90 for a tank of fuel and that it lasts on average 400k's I have spent a lot on petrol!! (85,000/400=212.5 tanks. 212.5x90= $19,125. Faaark...

Almost 20K on petrol. Ahaha JESUS!

What Derro said,
but I find it easier to manually select all the blue elements with the wand tool and the black and white everything that is not selected by inverting the selection.

very nice, very very clean too ! look after her well :)

any plans for cam? induction etc ?

My mate has a cammed VZ tonner, same colour, and it sounds mental and goes hard with a cam so it's definitely tempting. Probably won't get one any time soon though.
A for induction, I'm keen on getting a decent OTR and a mafless tune.
What about you?

its a amazing to drive compared to the ls1, yeh the duspeeds look the goods too, best looking one

I know, I test drove a couple of ls1s. After I tried the 6 litre there was NO GOING BACK. Very noticeable torque gains, heaps more power in low revs and much more punch
