Very nice mate, love the new pics and theres no leaf either lol.
Would love to paint my ss this colour or bermuda blue, have you got any big plans for it or keeping it original and looking sweet?
Here's a few older photo's of it:
Note the no exhaust tips in the second last photo lol, was before i had the tips and hot dog done way back in February.

Nah just keep it original mate, maybe a few bits down the track, but not right now. LOL, you know, that leaf is still in the grille. I'll get rid of it today if i remember LOL.

I put some new pics up to mate, it doesnt shine like yours but give me time
Haha yeah i got a few things to do to the car today, gonna run it dumped at the diff sitting in my garage just to see how it sounds. With the headers into a single cat into a hot dog then straight out after that it should be pretty loud lol.
Wouldn't dare drive it out of my driveway with it like that, i'd have the Police on my ass in two seconds.

I ran out of time didn't get home until dark. Will have to try it during the week.
No, but funny you mention that:
That's me on the left, see the chick in the middle? She is the chick on the side of the Kittens bus (the big black one) and on the side of the Kittens "Purrr" VY ute. She is a good friend of mine. So i guess i could have my car washed cheap down at Kittens car wash, but like **** i'd let them touch my car, they'd scratch it with their rock hard nipples. lol.

No shit, if they were experienced detailers, i'd let my friend my friend and her stripper friends wash it for sure lol. But my car is more important than them![]()

I wonder what power she is putting out. Maybe around 150rwkw. Probably less.

I'm guessing somewhere between say 140rwkw and 150rwkw. Depends, it's serviced regulary, low km's so it's still running smooth. Plus exhaust and tune with CAI. Who knows. Marcus's VR Calais 5 litre with more km's than mine is getting about 149 at the wheels, he has a set of Pacies though and less weight but same mods. Same exhaust, pretty much the same tune etc.
We will soon see.

Yeah hoping for less so i won't be disappointed lol.

I have the usage of a private property owned by family to go nuts on. Might be some fun, always wanted to strip a VN down to nothing and see how fast i can get an N/A Buick to go. I know you can only get them so fast by looking at Foamy and Mortons threads, but i'd like to do it myself for a bit of fun.
Yes it's been done, but i'd like to experience it myself for some fun. Plus no one can tell me to save my cash and buy a V8 because i already have one. This VN would be a private property thrashbox for some spare time fun. Would go good with a tune and a heap of weight taken off of it.

Yeah they have a few i think, she doesn't work at the Franga one though. We will soon see what power it's making. I think he is getting a twin cat set up done to the ####### mobile.
Mate i have been on the Pakki bypass about twice in my life. I have been at work all day![]()
