    Default my VE SS

    Hi everyone, I signed up to JC in 09 but didn't have time till now to log on.. So here goes.
    This is my VE SS I bought with 10k on the clock back in 08, its never skipped a beat.. within 20 minutes of purchase I had a set of SSV 19's on it, was pretty impressed with the performance from stock (mind you my daily before that was a standard six banger VT) A month later saw a an Xforce 2.5'' cat back and a set of 20's and something had to be done about that ridiculous ride height so a set of Lovells were thrown in too, these mods kept me happy for the next 6 months.. 2010 rolled in and I was hungry for power so a call to Carline in Maitland where Todd and I sat down and discussed some set ups.. I went with a full Xforce exhaust 1 7/8 4into1's, hi flo cats and kept the 2.5'' cat back, a 217 225 114o cam, VCM OTR and a gearbox tune up saw 307rwkw (411HP) I was very happy with the outcome.. Just in the last month I've added the SSV tail lights and a 20% tint all round..

    cheers johnny
