My Mistress...

Matt, thanks for reminding me...
This is a photoshop hit of what I was comtemplating for a paint scheme courtesy of B-roca


Craig, I love this bonnet mate, makes the front end sooo aggresive
Pete, Thanks mate

Cheers to everyone, the comments are very inspiring, really awesome feeling making the car how I want personally and finding other people appreciate it too
Wish they would just hurry up and create a Supercharger for the sidi

[CH3F]

Question for those with a SiDi SV6, and others in the know
What CAI kits are out there at the moment that are worth the look at?
Considering things like installation, tuning, power gain, acceleration noise, cost...

Cheers

Orssom perfomance have an OTR intake for SIDI engines

[CH3F]

Yeah, I have seen that, contacted a company up here in Townsville that fits them but he was saying there is a chance it can trigger a check engine light that can't be sorted out by him
Have also heard that they weren't that great due to the actual intake being only small and not really getting a great deal of air anyway

Not 100% on how true this is so am looking for feedback on people who have systems installed on their SiDi SV6s...
Cheers for the info though

G'day mate.
Love the ride!

Out of curiosity, where did you get the boot lid liner and that sexy cover for under the bonnet?
And, if you don't mind, how much?

Thanks!

[CH3F]

The boot lid liner and Radiator cover are both Holden parts
Boot lid liner was from a Calais cost about $50
The Radiator cover was around $70

Cheers for the comments and goodluck

Hey man car looks great.
Just wondering where you got that lip spoiler from and how much did it cost you to get it paint?

Cheers

[CH3F]

Picked it up from Ebay, company called Fibresports, got it painted and sent to Townsville for $380 ($40 freight)
Easy to fit at home

Thanks mate. How good is the colour matching?

[CH3F]

I don't notice any difference

[CH3F]

Not a massive update but I picked up my new plates today...

[adamrollo9]

hey mate where did you get that bonnet?

[Luke V8]

Blitz - its in his thread

[RedhotThunder]

Hey mate,

Always see you around town, whether it be near IGA at garbutt or leaving the RAAF base :P
With regards to the CAI I sent you a PM, also included some other goodies you might be interested in.

Cheers,
Nathan

[CH3F]

Thanks Nathan

Should be a Just Commodores meet and greet this wed night, I'll be hitting it up I think

Bonnet looks good mate was it fairly pricey?

[CH3F]

$1770 painted and fitted
$770 getting it made - Blits Bodykits
$1000 painted and fitted with TSX Autostyling, something about having to blend the colour through to match the guards

[byrnn09]

That's not to bad mate. Still a little more than i can afford

How's the fit? That's the exact one i'm thinking of getting.

Good to see it in Ivy, love the bonnet too.

Oh and get that front badge painted, check my thread to see how it looks.

[CH3F]

Wing was an awesome fit mate, holes lined up spot on
So glad I got the Bonnett, I'm the only one I've seen so far with it in FNQ so really happy lol
Badge will be getting painted when I can decide on the rest of the paint scheme for the car

[leardim]

hey mate do your opg mufflers drone alot?

[CH3F]

Not that I notice no, I like the sound no matter what power band
thinking of getting rid of them soonish though as I want to upgrade a few things and a full exhaust is on the cards

[davleigh]

actually saw this car up close at the most recent cruise to raise awareness etc for a motorsports complex in the ville...
F%$king sweet ride M8. Very impressive!!!!

[CH3F]

Davleigh, thanks heaps mate, comments like that make it worth while
can't wait to get a little more cash up behind me as I have a few pretty big changes planned (I think they are big lol should make the car look very different)
guarunteed to get mixed reactions

[CH3F]

A pic from the Cruise Davleigh mentioned...
Very happy with how the car has turned out so far but as I said above, there are some plans afoot and some money being horded
Hoping the latest additions will be added mid to late May
