VE Clubsport

[cody_(ve/R8)]

Hey ppl
i have just bought a ve clubsport i get it in march. just want some feed back on this unreal car. As i have not had the chance to drive one, Only my old mans ss v Thanx cody_(vy) -have to change that soon hahaaha

[AttaBoy]

What colour is it?? Goodluck, hate the waiting game!!!!!!

[Ripcell]

nice, how come such a long wait? is that hsvs back log?

[cody_(ve/R8)]

Its a white six speed manul. long wait because they got no white built 2 go
and also its coming up x mas breake.
Thinking about getting a tune done soon as i get it
do you think that will hert my clubby floggin on the dyno.

[AttaBoy]

might wanna drive for few hundred kms before trashing it.

[Ripcell]

yeah run it in as holden would tell you to do anyway, i couldn't imagine doing ram runs on a brand new motor to be a good thing

[Emackulation]

Yeah mate, just drive it stock for a while lol, it will be plenty powerfull.

[dufus]

Drive it around a while before you get the tune, because then when you get the tune you will appreciate the tune more and the difference that it makes.

and if something happens while on the dyno, holden maybe have something to say about the warrenty, but the power should be fun enought man, goodluck with it

Long wait!!!

Ye a tune after a 1000k should be OK, even though they have a lot of power anyways.

1000km is before the oil change and nut n bolt check from Holden. I'd personally wait until after the 15,000 service for a tune. That's less than a year.

Why not do the tune straight away? Hundreds of people do it, never have an issue. Gawd, people are buying a new HSV, having them towed straight to the workshop and fitted with Turbo setups/charger setups.

The only part of the car that will be void on the warranty is the PCM, they cannot by law void any other part.

Why not do the tune straight away?

Each to their own. I'd wait a while... Just in case anything niggling turned up that required warranty work. Cause when Holden see mods they get their backs up - even if the mods have nothing to do with the warranty work that needs doing.

I know of a guy that had a knock in the steering and as soon as Holden service saw it was lowered they tried to wash their hands of the problem. Turned out in the end after the dude got the area Holden rep in but a pain in the arse!

I know if I had a HSV, I'd be happy with it stock for a while

i had a whole steering column replaced under warrenty in my ute despite the fact it was lowered. i am also getting the air con condenser replace even though the whole front end was proper-fugged in an accident and the condenser was replaced.

either they dont care, or are really stupid!

I know how you feel with the waiting game. We just bought a new Dual Cab SR Hilux. No black ones on the floor so we have to wait until about early march too.

nice choice of car mate.. one small question though, Why did you choose to wait for a white one? Do you like the white ones? Not saying its a bad thing but I would have picked black

i wouldn't thrash it out straight away either. Let her settle in and you settle into her as well. She's got a massive V8. It'll run hard mate. Have fun with it.

[Morton]

White will be a real head turner - you don't see many around. (I don't, anyway.)

I can't believe you have to wait 'till march, though. I wouldn't be able to sleep for three months

[f1tzy]

my uncle is buying a brand new v8 t/d cruiser. he ordered it in october and has to wait till april/may. have fun with the wait lol

[cody_(ve/R8)]

Yer i like white and also like Morton said you dont see
many ve clubsports in white. (i have not seen any)
I will run the car in as HSV will tell you too. Before
i get the tune done and cat back system.

lol, once you have had modded cars, 300kw is nothing. Its actually too slow lol. So you need to decide do you stick with stock forever, or do you take on further mods, if you take the latter, get used to emptying your wallet frequently!!

Ok this only my opinion, but from all the White VE HSV's i have seen they look cheap. Every second man and his dog has white ones around here(HSV need to go back to expensive limited builds to get the prestige back, anyway thats a whole new thread).

But its your car so enjoy it
