Steels SV6 UTE

[steelsabre]

MY12 LFX SV6

UPDATE. Just had my 15k service. I must say it has been an awesome car to drive and work with. While i would like some more power at call, the sv6 is a GREAT car. I have one chip of paint on the bonnet which i can see the undercoast plus a dent aswell Not sure how to fix it! Boo hoo.

A mates wife works for a holden so I have ordered sports peddles, the redline 19" wheels ( old style i really love them. Yes even how shiney they are ) with the brembo front break package, and a towbar all for quite cheap.

My sound system is also being updated with some focal splits and a focal Ibus 2.1, i know its not a bass smashing machine but ive heard the set up and to my ears sound divine! A quick up dated picture below and i will be posting more pics as i get more done .



_________
Had it for 2 months now. I love it. 4600k's Driven!

FACTORY:
3 piece Hard Cover & Sports bar ( sort of wondering why i got this now, looked good at the time )

MODS:
K&N Filter.

TO COME:
Tint - Still to find a place / time to get this done!
19" - 20" Wheels - Not sure which ones yet still researching.. any ideas ?
Lower The Back to be in line with the front.
Sound system ( im thinking of doing this myself, not sure how hard it would be. Dynamating the doors and installing an amp etc etc.)

Not sure i want to do to much more than that. As i think when im off my p plates ( yes im 29 and on my p's - Long story ) i might update to an SS. But until then i love the SV6 UTE. Compared to my old 1995 Impressa GX its akin to wiping my but with silk compared to sandpaper

I am so many kinds of jealous right now, that car is awesome! What's the interior like?

[steelsabre]

Thanks mate. The interior is nice I'll take some photos this arvo with a better camera

Alot of people don't like the VE interior but I do

Question: WHY does it rain only after I have washed waxed aka 4 hours of cleaning the beast ???!?

[MikeCuzzy]

Rule of the universe, it only rains after you wash your car. Last time my Mum washed her car, we got a La Nina for 2 years :/

I like the interior, I have an 07 Omega, tbh as long as I have cloth seats - I'm happy. I just really hate leather, very uncomfortable, especially in summer. Did you buy it brand new?

[steelsabre]

Yup brand new, I didn't get leathers although I was tempted! Mate told me the holden leather isnt the best!

Mate told me the holden leather isnt the best!

Better than cloth.

Hows the first 6 months of ownership been mate?

[SSVRED77]

To be perfectly honest I would'nt touch that ute. It looks tough as. I'm sure it hammers to.

UPDATE. Just had my 15k service. I must say it has been an awesome car to drive and work with. While i would like some more power at call, the sv6 is a GREAT car. I drove it down to melbourne just before the 15k service and it was a dream i got 780k's from one tank and many a time whilst over taking hitting 140-150+ with out even knowing.. The car hammers from 2nd gear onwards and handles corners like a BOSS. My only gripe is the first gear... which leaves alot to be desired and take off sometimes i get smashed by toyota camrys :O but over all im extremely happy with it.

I have one chip of paint on the bonnet which i can see the undercoast plus a small dent aswell Not sure how to fix it! Boo hoo.
