That is one sweet looking ride you got there. Can't go past a clean black car and not just stare.

[djeyecon]

Woah hey that is a killer wheel/tyre and brake combo. Such a great looking riding these days. Pretty sure I saw this ride somewhere in Morley a few weeks ago. I was in the silver VS Calais if you happened to catch a view of it.

[Troy711]

man, thats BAD! bout time you got those wheels on it!! how deep is the dish on the rear?

[nicko451]

yeah! im not a wing person at all but the Ve's look better with them!

[coo dawg]

Its about time someone took off the spoiler on the VE beasts!!!

As said earlier, you either hate it or love it. Personally I love it!

And the RIMS ...... FARKEN hot!!!

Love it mate, ride height is perfect! Whats next on the agenda?

few weeks back i was in europe but mate was looking after car so it could have been my car
but also another black VE SSV running around perth with very similar plates

man, thats BAD! bout time you got those wheels on it!! how deep is the dish on the rear?

yeah it took me a while but in the end had to go custom but LOVE the rims

dish not at the spokes is the length of my phone Palm Treo 750
which is in length approx 110mm
at the spokes it isnt much coz they need to clear the brakes

yeah! im not a wing person at all but the Ve's look better with them!

yeah some ppl like it with wing but most like it without and i love it without so it will stay like that...

might throw the wing back on its only a 5min job and see how it looks

[EXCESSV]

well some more pics after the Peter Brock Cruise today

some rims with those brakes? :lol:

Gotta have some bling in ur life


nice PHAT rear shot :drool:
2 by 275s smoking up at Powercruise in a month :evil:


pics of the catch can install.
very stealth in black and with the radiator shroud on barely see it
ASE did a great job and also big thanks to Shane for sending it off to the powedercoaters when i asked for more of a stealth one
nothing to hard for him and the service was great.
even sent it in an overnight bag at no expense due to some hicups at the powdercoaters :bravo:

[Troy711]

I love this car... and it will look so much better with the G8 lip on the boot. Those front brakes certinly fill out the wheels! It looks so much better then having tiny stock brakes and massive wheels. I'm also glad you didn't decide to put Chev badges on it!

Personally I would take the badges rest off, I think that if people heard and saw it go they would know it was an 8 lol

[EXCESSV]

thanks troy
yeah definitely not a fan of the chev badges

as for badgeless not sure yet
doing a custom OTR with mate in polished ali
and also working on a custom front grill to get rim of the dinner plate sized Holden badge

[Troy711]

Will a Calais/Berlina grill fit with a chrome bonnet strip?

[squawk]

awesome car! you have done a mint job on it! all just flows together!

[EXCESSV]

Will a Calais/Berlina grill fit with a chrome bonnet strip?

i think it does

but making a custom one to look exactly like the one thats one there...minus the badge....
similar to this look

i kinda like the badge in front. maybe not the original size but it looks a tad empty withotu something there. still looks phat whichever way you go though. can't wait to see what you come up with next mate.

dyno'd?

the next lot of stuff is gonna be minor

custom OTR
opening exhaust up bit more
track lightweight rims
etc


then the serious stuff hits...
LSX cast iron block bored out to 427
custom built by SQP and tough as nails to handle a fark load of boost from a nice big BLOWER later on


last dyno day got 443rwhp but really its more like 415rwhp...lets just say it was a happy dyno at the last dyno day

[Silvereagle]

EXESSV, that is one HOT ride you've got there. Very well done.......... Them brakes looks awesome with those rims on there.
