    ENGINE TYPE: V6
    ENGINE: 3.8l
    POWER: Un-tested

    18's aren't to bad if you get a nice soft tire or something with a bit more wall to it but yeah your choice mate

    18's would set it off nicely.
    I'll have to investigate haha.
    My cousin has some Holden by design 18's I'll try out =D

    Hey guys,

    Not much has been happening, Whiper blades were abit 'how ya goin' so the missus bought me some pretty blue ones =p


    A nice little new addition aswell,


    Got my stereo set up to a good stage at this stage, Pretty happy with it at the moment =D
    Jensen Dvd player head deck
    Fusion Power plant front components
    Boss 2ch running the fusions (For now)
    Image Dynamics IDMAX 12" 1000rms sub in factory specs sealed box
    And a Kicker KX600.1 running the sub.
    The amps just under a 1/4 on the gain and the headdeck is on 0 on the sub setting (No bass boost) and it is so nice, Kicks the arse out of the Soundstream/Clarion/Pioneer subs I've had =p.

    Also, With only two months till the Missus and I go on holidays I really got to put the stato mods on hold untill after that. Really gota knuckle down and save.
    So until then there won't be much going on.

    Sorry for the phone quality, The missus can't find her camera cord lol.

    Anyway,
    Have fun.

    Playing around with paint this morning, I like the look of the Cv8 rims.
    These are well out of propertion but yeah, I think they look alright.
    *Image removed by me due to the lack of my paint SkILL$*

    Yeah I'll probably sell them once I am done with them, Or try to swap them and $$ for 18's.
    Or something I dunno, I really want CV8s haha.
    It's annoying not being able to post new threads in the for sale section =(
    Cause I am willing to buy one of them rims and also I got a sub I wanna sell.

    So if any one wants a Pioneer champion series 400rms sub in the proper box etc DVC let me know.
    Can post pictures!

    Little update..

    Reversing out of a mates drive way last night and there was a bin behind me and I didnt see it and no one said anything till it was to late.
    Wasn't to pleased.
    Luckily it only broke my tail light,


    No where around here has any, Waiting for a reply from a fella on here. Hopefully he replies soon.

    Until then I glued as many bits as I could together, Went back to my mates and got all the broken bits and some super glue off him. Nothing super about the glue though. lol.
