T-robs Black VY SS (247DTF)

[t-rob]

Hi guys,
finally got around to posting the newish rig. I bought it in October 2013 for $11400 with 125xxxkm on the clock. i dont think i have any photos of it when i bought it, but it was pretty lebbo (big chrome wheels, chev badges, door handles and trim, rear garnish ect...) although pretty good nick. So i have been working on taking it back to the clean stock look for now. So far i have...
Re-tinted the windows, f... off the chev grill, installed coilovers, New exhaust, gone back to the stock 18s, front bar and rear garnish respray, removed the badges and spoiler, sprayed breakes and engine covers black, HID headlights, short shifter, AEM wideband and oil pressure gauges, bigger radiator (cause the stock one **** itself) and some other **** i cant think of at the moment...

Looks nice dude, Have you put a new Light in the rear window like an executive would have? defectable not too once the brake light in your spoiler is gone.

Love the first photo of it. I like the sound of your time, I dunno what to expect I'm going out in a couple of weeks. Is it maf tune?

cheers fellas. The top picture is what it looks like at the moment.

nah i havent done anything about the break lights.. will probably have to get onto it asap.

ow and nah it still has the maff just with a k&N filter. Am going to go with the mafless tune and OTR when i do cam upgrade in the near future.

One thing you can do which ups the power a fair bit, Get another maf sensor, Take all the guts out of it so its just an open hole, then when its getting tuned and put on the dyno replace it and put that in so its a mafless tune and it had air running straight through it Cheaper than otr only about 10kw difference as well

good point! never thought of that.
although i was just planning on knocking up an OTR at work one time. i work with stainless sheet metal everyday lol

The ss's have the bit where they have the 3rd brake light blacked out on the glass , so you would need to replace the back window to a calais one or something

Look forward to seeing the end result, make sure you can get a decent air filter in there
