ya, these cars in gold = the best

the gold over the light grey thats on it at the moment would look the best

but the colour that it is at the moment isnt bad, has a pearly blue tinge to it, its just getting the drivers door resprayed is the prob, to do it they have to do the front 1/4 panel, drivers door and rear drivers door and costs a bit to do >.>

[mking]

white is best. haha

nice car dude

yer they have to do the guard and rear door becasue if they dont the colour will look funny. its called a blend.

and there is a HSV VS grange on here that is flly gold, its my favourite statesman on here.

yeah that one looks sweet, dont think id go that low tho, thats why im gonna go with king spring lows, they only go down 3cm, which is plenty for me

plus how hard would it be to convert my car to a 355 stroker v8 from a v6?? ive been thinkin of getting it done once im off my p's

[Kcboiye]

[VS_Pete_1]

[Kcboiye]

Update:

and after i get the exhaust fitted im gonna get the door resprayed, 500 to do the front drivers door (including the grey trim piece), front panel and rear drivers door

[Disturbed_vegeta]

looks good mate, shouldve gone with sssl springs but lol. have a look at jecs caprice for some inspiration.

[elmaso]

looks awesome dude, SL's are nice combination of looks and comfort. lol

[Kcboiye]

king spring lows only go down bout an inch to 3cm, which for is plenty, any lower and id scrape against everything

bad enough i cant get a standard 375ml can under the stock muffler lol, and the car hasnt even been lowered (yet)

[Kcboiye]

The first white line is where the king springs lows will sit, the second white line is where king spring sl's would sit

engine cover repainted in metallic purple


and the cover on the engine


i wanna paint the air intake pipe and box in the same colour :P

also wat exhaust tip would look better? 2.5" twin dumpers, 2.5"-3" twin straights or 7" oval? im leaning more to the dumpers

[Mbro]

twin dumpies

[Kcboiye]

yeah i thought dumpers too, if i could get em in 3" thatd be good

and i just found that im gonna need a camber for wen i put the springs in

[Kcboiye]

sweet new heady and door spreakers are in got a new alpine heady for 200 from autobarn, and got alpine type r 6.5" splits in the doors, soon to put type r 6x9's in the parcel shelf and type r 4" in roof (if they'll fit)

and i need to get a bush/camber kit put in when i go to lower it, 220 from bursons, so not too bad

[Kcboiye]

new toys for the car

Alpine Heady
Alpine Type R 6x9's (rear parcel shelf)
Alpine Type R 6.5" (front doors)

620 all up just need to get type r sub/amp and 4" speakers for the roof

[Kcboiye]

sweeet, springs + shocks + rear camber all goin in tomorrow

only worry ive got is the springs, ive been worryin that the springs already in it are lowered, so puttin the new ones in might raise it, or make no diffrence, i duno, i'll put the rears in first to see wat happens

[Kcboiye]

been a while since i last updated

exhaust got put in sounds sweet, just gotta get extractors and high flow cat installed and done

also got the new springs and shocks put in

but the big prob is, i gotta get a 4-point camber installed - $700
and get the front bushes and engine mounts replaced - $900

[elmaso]

i read there was a problem fitting VS extractors to an s3 stato,dunno if it was just the l67 or both.
