[Luke V8]

just went through this thread from start to fin....

nice work kiki! cars looking sweet.

I gotta ask, i drive into a supermarket, try and find a nice empty spot and still find some twat who has been and parked too close and gone and left a mark on my door to remind me...

how on earth as a soccer mum do u keep the body so tidy lol

[Kikki]

We know exactly what marks are on the car, where and how. As soon as anything happens its either polished or booked into a panel shop pretty much lol. We have a POS Excel that we use when I go to the shopping center mostly. Don't get me wrong we have a big nasty scratch and a couple of door knocks on the drivers side, but yeah we normally park MILES away, take up 2 bays or park in parent with prams parking (lucky for me i know the security guards at our local shops lol) other than that, it's excel all the way! The kids aren't fans, child lock is still on at the ages of 7 & 8, not just to protect my car, but also everyone elses.

Thanks heaps

[VKCOMMO]

Hahah yeah if only I didn't use it in so many car parks (being a mum) then I would drop it on its hole, but nah.

Airbags?????????

Stage 2 Comp Cam

For the cam $3500 all up, we paid just over $4000 though coz we had the underdrive pulley's, rip shifter and a service

Couldnt be happier, looking forward to getting a HD clutch though, the std one isn't to keen on the rip shifter haha!

soooooo jealous!!! but must be an amazing drive. well done!
wish mine was manual.... think I might have to trade my wife in for another car!

[HUX 90]

Such an awesome car, I'll have to come to a cruise sometime to see this thing up close. Very jealous.

Hey Kikki....i just read this from start to finish and just wanted to say NICE WORK!!!

Wifey and I have just picked up our very own VE SSV Wagon and couldnt be happier....looking forward to performing some of the same mods you have...!!

[AgreSSV]

Hey nice ride, just new here but keen as to go on a cruise so I can check out what people have done and what gains have been achieved, got a 07 SSV bout 5 weeks ago, have had a Stage 1 done by Active Automotive, Pacemakers and Twin 3" Manta, OTR and mafless tune pretty happy so far, really want to check out different ride height and suspension to get more of an idea for myself.

[Anthssv]

Correct!

HP to kw is divide by 1.34.
kw to HP is multiply by 1.34.

I just rounded.

Sorry soop his right I ran it on my IPhone app

[Anthssv]

Hey kikki I have just read this whole thread the car has come a long way and is looks great. Nice ponies on the dyno to.
Got a Q for U about your rims?
Did you get buy and get them fitted from the dealer u brought the car from? As when I order my 2011 SSV wagon they told me I couldn't have 20" rims on it.
I said your joking right they said No not joking.
the 20" were only available on the sad-dan.
Then I said so why does the R8 have 20"s standard? They told me it's a HSV anything could have been changed on the car to allow the 20"s to be fitted.
The only reason why I got out of them was something about the load rating of the 20" rim not shore if that has to do with just the super sport I was after or all 20" rims.
Sorry to go on but just wondering if they said anything to you about it?

[Kikki]

Meh the SSV has 20's, run fine, no dramas at all.

Updated pic from recent times! I have moved down south and the BF is still working up in Perth so I dont get to drive her anymore (odd weekends) soo miss it! But I have a VT wagon haha thread coming!

Nothing to add, had a new OTR added thanks to VCM (previous fault and for some reason the bonnet was putting pressure on it).

Not long to go and she'll have her new clutch and brakes!

[Gravity]

Beautiful car. I hope my wife learns to love the V8 like you do.
Maybe we'll have two Holdens in the family one day, a his and hers. That'd be awesome.

[Kikki]

I do love her heaps! I not long got another daily to drive, VT Berlina wagon so now he can drive in comfort haha! I don't get to drive it much these days (he lives 160kms away until he starts his new job).

[Rufys]

You need to get someone to take some decent pics of this car... It looks so nice but is undersold by the mediocre photography.

[Kikki]

Lol yeah.... Next.

[Kikki]

New clutch tomorrow! Should be interesting, hopefully getting the issues sorted, to me sounds like a knock from the extractors.... Perhaps a tad loose thanks to the cam no doubt?

[Luke V8]

Any updates Kiki?

[Kikki]

Not really LOL

Got a HD clutch which is just pure awesome, totally loving it! Other than that we got another car but thats it... Boring thread is boring haha!

[ybhve4]

Awesome looking ride. Sorry if I have missed it but have you lowered it at all yet or is that next on the cards?

[Kikki]

Yeah it's been lowered, not a fan of having a car dragging on its hole.

Nothing new to add lol, she's been resting as I have a VR SS and have been driving that a little more! Just a pic or two...

[frogsta]

Is there a thread for the VR?

[Kikki]

Nah not yet, soon I'll do one.

[steinzve]
