Thanks mate, It sounds ALOT better. The Exhaust guy just basically unbolted the original ones and bolted the new ones on.. it took a day to get the tips machined from 2.25 to 2.5

but worth it, sounds great when you start it and even better under heavy acceleration

Looking good Paul!

How are those interior lighting pics coming along? I'm thinking about getting mine done too. Phreddy did a great job on my VY back in the day...

[Johnsy]

He has changed my centre binnacle led's from red to white but has ordered some brighter ones for my dash as they are not bright enough ( we tried but phreddy and i thought they could look better )

i will post them up when he sorts it out.....

How's the ssv going ?

[davey g-force]

Very good mate, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I'll have to get my act together and post some pics up soon...

Make sure you do !! It took me over 2 months to get the combination of a clean car and a nice day... lol

[Johnsy]

I will be removing the hotdogs soon and replacing them with just straight thru pipe.... hoping for better (deeper) sound don't think it will up performance by much.....

[Haydz]

looks sweet man.

i love how hsv put theyre own dyno chart on the engine looks cool.


and it looks so so so square. im used to the older ones.

good luck with it.

Hi Johnsy..."Very Sweet Ride".....Glad you got the LED's done.....I've loved mine ever since Phreddy did mine...Cheers...

[social]

everything about this car screams awesome except 1 thing, its not manual ... Is it possible to get it converted if you decided to?

Thanks mate make sure you post pics of yours when greg updates your dash

i wouldn't covert it as the autos are $2 grand more than the manuals... but i have had manuals and wanted the 6 speed auto... plus they are quicker than the manuals

Do you know of anyone else who's done this? Are you not worried about it droning - especially being an auto?

I agree. I get sexually aroused every time I wash or wax those front guards - mmmm.
