    Sweet VP SS. I recognize the background scenery lol. Reminds me of the pre-GTS days, looking at the GTS. So I see you decided to keep the rear resi on? How does she go, estimated 0-100? Oh and I believe the colour isnt actually black, its Anthracite Grey.

    Nah it's never been hit. The car sat around for nearly 2 years out the back of a factory in Nunawading and it got pinched. Unless I find one (they seem to be as rare as hens) a glass GTS bar is looking the go.

    No need to remove it. It sounds great as it is and goes very well so why call attention to myself? Yeah I know it's grey but who cares? I edited the color just for you.

    I'm not happy with the ride height and the pics make it look better than what it is. Probably needs to be a tad lower. Anybody know what HSV did to the GTS's? That was quite a bit lower and handled like a go-cart.





    Hmmm.... wow - my plants have gone nuts in the background

    Ok - here's the low down. I bought the car on 20 December 2007 and it looked like this. mmmmm...... Just love those wheels.







    Between Christmas and new year I took these bits out of it (Anybody want a slightly dead TH-700??? I have charcoal in my fire place that smells less burned than that sucker.)



    and installed this





    Other things have included replacing the faded tail lights, rear garnish (getting pretty good at masking them up to paint these days!), putting on the 17's, extractors etc. Next will be getting the handling right, installing a knock sensor and giving it a proper tune for a few extra ponies.
