    Default Timmo's VE SSV

    Hi all,

    Thought it was time to share some photos of my new rig.
    had it for nearly 3 months now, and its pretty well stock except for a 2.5 inch catback (installed by prev. owner)

    The swap over, thats my old VZ ute next to it


    Straight after picking her up


    Painted Calipers, Mrs took some pics for me down the old boat ramp
















    Future Mods Planned:
    Cam vcm 13
    3.9 diff gears
    clutch upgrade - possible
    Tune via LMG Performance Warnertown
    Rims: 20" Zenetti Kaotik Chrome

    Mods done:
    Exhaust: 2.5inch HM/Perry catback
    1 7/8 4 into 1 Hurricane Headers
    3 inch 200 CPI hi flow Hurricane cats
    Modify Stock Engine Cover
    Whiteline Front Strut Brace
    Lower: King springs SSL front and rear, with Monroe GT Shocks all round.
    Tint: Already Tinted to 25%
    Audio: replaced all stock speakers and running a 12" pioneer championship series sub in boot.
    Intake: Orssom OTR


    any other modification ideas appreciated!

    I am honestly in love with this car, it is my first V8.
    always been a holden man, 1st car VS V6, 2nd car VZ V6 Ute, 3rd Car (Current) 2006 VE SSV 6.0 LTR

    anyways take a look guys and tell me what you think,
    mud flaps are already gone! lol

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Nice! First V8 is always fun... Black SSV is a great choice too. Keep us posted with mods.

    Nice mate good to see the mudlaps gone. Will look great lowered. Didn't see if it's manual or auto. If it's a manual I can highly reccomend a ripshifter fitted mine last week and the transformation is brilliant

    Ripshifter and a decent clutch . The v8 clutches aren't the best if you enjoy driving your car.

    Nice mate, the best colour. List of future mods are good too.

    Are you sure thats 25% tint? looks way to light. My tint is 30% and looks darker than that...

    looking at some of your cars, i agree that mine doesnt look as dark. i got the 25% tint number off of the dealer car sheet details. it has aftermarket tint but i dont think its 25% at all now either. definately darker than my mates stock SS anyway.
