done it! the wire I needed was behind the glove box so I had to take the centre dash surround off to take the glovebox backing out, it was such a mission.

Great looking car mate, sooo clean and tidy, the way they should be.
Saw the 1/4 mile videos too, it launches so well, gotta get me some 3.7s!

Love the VYSS wheels too

Cheers mate, yes the 3.7's have been by far the biggest performance gain ive ever achieved.

Funny you say that about the VY SS's, there being swapped this sunday for VE SSV 19's without tyres though, but the VE's are real and my VY's are fake i think.

figured out what tires your gonna go with yet??
I reckon you could fit 245's alright. not sure on 255's though, would give you a fair bit more traction down at the plex though

Here are some better quality pictures i took ages ago when i had the time to wash it.

Good choice, the VE SSV's will look haaawt with the calais white/grey paint.
What brand camber kit did you have installed? and price? I need one ASAP for my poor tyres :P

Its a Whiteline 4 point kit, i think it was about $226. Dont get the Pedders one, its only 2 point i beilieve.

My Mrs bought me a voucher for a Performance Driving Day at the AHG track near the airport. She thought it was a massive skidpad where you could go nuts. Unfortunately they dont like you doing that

Anyway i thought it was awesome, i wasnt out there trying to do big skids and drift every corner i was actually trying to improve my driving lines and cornering speeds etc etc, because thats what the course is really for i suppose.

The instructor said i was the best driver there on the day, i drove the best lines and carried the most speed smoothly through the courses. He was also SHOCKED that i was only 1 seconds slower than a $120000 Porche and a Instructor in his turbo MR2.

I had 16 runs, here is the most entertaining 4


First run of the day

They dont officicially time people because they cant, but there was a spectator timing us.

[crewsy]

mm love the sound of your charger mate. i was thinking about getting a group of mates together and going next month. reckon its worth it? i thort you were allowed to drop skids!

[sycosystem]

Litte bit of an update,

Got my VE SSV rims back from Alliance Rims Repair, they did a acceptable job on machining the centers however they have chipped the paint of the edges where i assume the machine clamps the wheel down (only on 1) but the others have marks where they have been clamped.

Doesnt bother me though, im getting them painted by Kustom Panel & Paint in Wangara. It was a toss up between Kustom Panel & Paint or Extreme Panel & Paint in Wangara. Ill give Kustom a go, any body dealt with either?

Heres some pictures

Nah not professional at all, i just used my new Lumix TZ7. Its an awesome camera, there were more shit photos trying to work out how to use it in the lighting conditions but im really happy with how alot of the turned out.

[H1GHROLLR]

Lol they look sweet wna come take some of mine lol

Forgot to ask earlier, have u still got the alloy/stainless tank? I couldn't see it in ur newer photos. Man, I love the look of a nice deep, chrome tank (more-so on Toranas or something a bit older.. but still..)

I want to get something custom made up a bit shorter on the filler side so I can re-route an exhaust system each side and get two outlets at the back of the bumper. ( I have a towbar that I'm keen on keeping). Was it expensive to get made up?

Edit: Love the VE wheels mate. She sits peeeerfect on them.

Yeah ive still got the tank but its not on the car. I think i got a bit bored with it and didnt really suit what i was trying to achieve. Im really 50/50 with the drop tank.

For you however, my drop tank wont suit, the tow bar will have to be removed and there is absolutely no chance of getting duel outlets to fit with it on.

I paid $250 i think from eBay, seller "streettuffcustoms" do a search for the user and send him an email if you want one. He didnt sell many so only does them by order now.

hey mate, yeah i have seen this thread before i think i even commented it awhile ago nice to see another low km vs out there haha. to be honest ive seen alot of them lately. i always wanted a calais but i just had to have the one i have now when i saw it only had 70,000 on it. some of them shots u took of your car are mint!! will have to get some like that of mine when im in a city haha. u going to do anything more exterior wise? i think they look good enough when simple though hey.
