STEALTHY suggested I write up a tutorial on how I did my gauges, but honestly, I can't be bothered, plus don't have pictures for step-by-step instructions. SO, if anyone is interested and wants to set up something similar, just PM me, and I'll reply, eventually

Looks good man! Manual? Looks it from the position of the ashtray, but wasn't sure!

MORE pics!


Shattered you didn't tell me on msn tho!

[immortality]

Ahhhh, another manual S1 i think you should get some ceptors on there but. nice shiny wheels

Hell yeah. Manuals FTW!!.

I was going to, but I thought, I'd just post it up anyway.

I will be changing the rims...eventually.

[immortality]

ceptors are just standard holden rims but 7" wide and normally painted with chrome style paint (check mortons ride), they look better then the standard one you have now. fit some highway max treads and your laughing

[crazybiker]

All money at the moment though really.

I just spent a bit on trying to get a problem fixed on it, now it's fixed, I'm saving up again.

[crazybiker]

Well, I found out a few weeks ago that my pads, and rotors are up shit creek.

So I ordered in some QFM-HPX pads (heard really good about them. Might aswell give 'em a go), and got some slotted rotors ordered in to. Just to replace the originals.

Should be putting them on in the next couple of days with new bearings, so I'll post some pictures up once they're on.

[crazybiker]

Finally got around to it.

New Slotted rotors with QFM-HPX pads.

Looks meaner now

The car definitely pulls up better now. Glad I finally did it.

QFM are definitely gonna be my regular brake pads now.


Again, thumbnails here are reduced, so the links to the full-size images are in the first post.

Hey man i like the car I'd never seen pics before. MANUAL sik as bro and those brakes tell me all about them i can see slotted rotors are those twin pistons or vs calipers. How does it pull up you have probably sen me talking with VN91SX about this. Any suggestions?

[crazybiker]

Thanks. It is quite nice, sadly needs a good paint job though (Will happen eventually).

Brakes? Nah mate, just a VN V8 rotor that's slotted. Not a different model at all. Still got the original single piston caliper (That's what's gonna get changed next).

It pulls up quite a bit better than before, not sure whether that's the pads though. I changed to QFM-HPX pads this time, and they're awesome.

Dad reckons that there's not as much brake fade aswell, so I'm happy.

[Leebo]

Yeah that's what i was thinking of getting the standard 270mm slotted will go straight on but you have the slotted 290 did it go straight on after you knocked the old one off?

Standard caliper really mine look nothing like that and you appear as is you have braided lines is that right?

[crazybiker]

Braided lines? Not sure.

As for the different caliper and the 290MM discs.

They come standard with the 'S' Series, but yes, they bolt straight on, no dramas.

[Leebo]

Yeah that's cool i'll be doing that next week.

I just wana ask to you know if the slotted 270mm will go onto the back no drama just like bigger on the front?

[crazybiker]

I'm not sure

[Leebo]

That's okay i'll fond out from another source.Thanks mate

[Fun_Bucket]

Hey mate, off topic, but do you know how to do the engine mounts on a VP V6, i'm after someone in sydney who can help, show me how, and of course, charge less than a mechanic. Still happy to pay money of course

[crazybiker]

Not really mate. Sorry.

I did my engine mounts when I replaced the motor.

[Fun_Bucket]

That's cool, thanks anyway's mate, just noticed your location and thought i'd ask...

[crazybiker]

I would if I could mate.

[crazybiker]

Well, I've been meaning to take the wheels off and paint them matt black. I did that today. Finally.

Pain in the ass actually. Degrease them. Sand them down. Wash them off. Clean with Acetone. Paint...x4.

But it was worth it. Came out pretty good.

Thumbnail has the reduced image.


For the full size image, it's in the first post.

[Leebo]

That looks good did you do the center caps?

[crazybiker]

No.

I know, I know. I should've. STEALTHY pointed that out too.

I noticed AFTER I had put the wheels back on >_<

[Leebo]

haha yeah they would look better. If you don't have any just take off the wheels and respray the rusted bit the same color.
