Troys 2007 WM Statesman

[Lumps of cheese]

good to see you're not going to drop it heaps, or "slam it" as the youth of today call it. It only needs to go an inch or two to look the goods.
I like the rims, not something you see everyday.

[Troy711]

Lowering has been put back till Monday but also my new plates arrived today. They are the same number just black with white text

[Troy711]

Just got a phonecall to say my car is just about to be dropped off at my parents place slighly lower then what it was this morning! I haven't seen it yet but the mechanic tells me that the back looks fat as but the front needs to come down just a touch. I am hoping it will settle a bit and it should look grouse.

No pics yet cos it's dark and I haven't seen it myself.. but I might get some up tonight

[Zeussy]

Nice...
Keen to see how good it looks now,

While you have the camera out, an interior pic or two? lol,

[FAT.36L]

Should look good lowered abit troy specaily with those 9.5's on the rear

[Troy711]

It does look good.. but I reckon the front needs to come down about 10mm just to fill the gaurds a little more. Like I said before, hopefully it settles and it should look sweet in a month or two.

All pics were taken with my phone so the quality looks shit lol.

First up, a quick pic of the interior.


LED parkers and fog/driving lights and also the black plates

Front

New side indicators. The old ones were cracked to the shit and I finally got around to putting them in



I like it but I really hope the front comes down a bit. I didn't want to slam it on it's arse because my missus drives it everyday and would complain about it. She thinks it's too rough now! I forgot to take some pics of the Airhammer so next time I remember I'll do it .

Future plans might involve a boot lip spoiler do add some definition to the back end, maybe a Whiteline strut brace (dunno though) and hopefully a Capa supercharger kit by Christmas. With the Capa kit would also come a front mount intercooler and full exhaust and tune. I've just got to wait until work picks up again so I can work my arse off and save some $$$ but until that happens it is all just thoughts at the moment.

[FAT.36L]

I agree prob just another 10-15mm in the front and it will look awsome, the back sits good

Love the lights on the Stato's the LED parkers a look great

[BANKS]

I reckon it will sag when the blower goes it

[Zeussy]

Yeah, front could be a little lower, but like you said it might settle a little, but its always good to have some suspension travel, lol, helps with the bumps a bit... and doesnt look bad like that..

^^ But I think BANKS has a point, lol.

Is that the parkers on the top of the headlights? looks sweet as,
And that interior looks mint, the stock VE ones are pretty chatty, you can really tell this ones up the higher end of the market.. I just want one... (but in black, lol)

[Lumps of cheese]

Nah, looks good. Give it time to settle in and it might come down a bit.

[Troy711]

Cheers for the comments.

I'm going to see if I can source a Grange boot lip spoiler

[Mike08]

Looks good mate, very close if not the same height as mine.

I am hoping mine will settle in the front also, as they do look great in the back.

Those wheels also set her off nicely.

Cheers.

Mike.

The front should drop over time with the weight of the engine. Looks good though, what springs did you use?

[Troy711]

It has Lovells in not, not 100% sure on what they are but I'd say they are SL's.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Extractors next? ......

[redvess]

It has Lovells in not, not 100% sure on what they are but I'd say they are SL's.

same as what I have so they'll deffinatly drop mine were at 370mm from the centre of the rim to the lip of the guard when I picked it up and now they're 350mm so yours should drop too

[Troy711]

Extractors next? ......

Saving for a supercharger! haha, I wish!.

Nah, boot lip next I'd say

[Troy711]

same as what I have so they'll deffinatly drop mine were at 370mm from the centre of the rim to the lip of the guard when I picked it up and now they're 350mm so yours should drop too

Sounds good, did yours drop in the back too?

[richie351]

nice ride man i love it how people get new cars and do them up standard is just lame
need to go tad lower on the front

[HoldenOnn]

Very luxurious ride you have there. Great work and it looks awesome.

[redvess]

Sounds good, did yours drop in the back too?

a little but not as far as the front due to not having as much weight to push it down the rear is actually aronud 10mm higher than the front which can look a bit weird sometimes but its still low so its not as noticable all the time

[Troy711]

Quad tips are on the way. Should be here middle of next week. I just got the stock ones, not Monaro tips. I'll wait until I eventually get the exhaust fully done.

[andyman]

looks the goods troy, will be an animal when that charger goes on,

how is the body scrapeage going? has the missus nudged gutters with the front bar yet lol

[Troy711]

Cheers

Actually no scraping anywhere yet! I am quite surprised especially being a LWB car. Fortunately the missus hasn't mashed the front yet but about 2 months ago she knocked a kerb with one of the rear wheels and put a 10mm scrape in it. You can hardly see it though and she said she was so upset she almost cried!

Hopefully Christmas time I can get myself a present but it all depends if I buy another house and if work gets flat out again. I'm hopefully going to budget 10 to 12 grand for the charger, intercooler, full exhaust, tune and (CAPA reccomend) upgraded fuel system and ECU. But, it's all hopes at this stage.. I'll see what happens in 6 months.

[Troy711]

Looks like the charger is on the back burner now... I just paid for 7 nights in Vanuatu instead lol.
