[some_guy]

Good purchase mate. looks like it was worth every penny.

[vscalaishsv]

yeah it was worth it, got about 5 people wanting to buy it off me lol

[vscalaishsv]

fittedmsd coil packs,top gun leads and new sparkplugs yesterday made a huge differance whill driving more smoother and a bit more poke but still sounds like it dosnt want to crank over when i start it, and allso painted the wheel arches in left over sound deadner paint for doing the torana. came out pretty well see as tho i didnt clean or prep them...




fitted the ss induction off my calais on it one night when we had a few to many lol


not the best photos but get the idear

[Krilnik]

Awesome buy, well done.

Does the sound deadener really work? Do you find there is less road noise after spraying this stuff on???

[vscalaishsv]

na not really. it dose stop a little bit of sound. but to get rid of road noise use dynomat on all 4 doors, floor pan and the boot and it will get rid of alot of road noise and make your sound system sound better too

[vscalaishsv]

debadged the car today looks much better. i left the "S" badge on didnt know if i should leave iit on or get rid of it? what do yas recon?

[vscalaishsv]

couldnt help my self lol

[vscalaishsv]

thinking of respraying the car but not to sure if i want to repaint it in the orignal colour. just woundering what you guys thinks a good colour. i was thinking of voodoo blue or morpheus purple any opinons will be great

[MR_VX]

a respray of the same colour would be a easier and cheaper way.
But if you do respray go the cherry red/black the clubbys (i think) came out in. thats a sweet colour, nice car for the price to.

[vscalaishsv]

i was thinking orignal colour but if i was going to buy paint just thinking something differant would be good... might have to pintch the colour chart at work and have a look...

[vscalaishsv]

got bord yesterday and started to pull the in car telerphone system out and some crappy cd player that uses a fm transmitter to work... and now i havt to fix up the wireing cause he pulled back the pretective stuff on the wires just to find the power wire.
this is what came out


and all so put some dynamat sound deadening on the doors and found out that someone cut the wires to the power mirrios so now i have to fix that...

fitted a mace engineering cold air induction on, made a bit more of a differance then the ori cold air intake sounds better too.




and the missuses brought me a saas sports steering wheel and boss kit, its added an other 1400 hp to the ash tray lol

[spud_22]

Wicked mate car looks a mint

[Bizmark]

Nice clean ride mate.

Good price you scored it for ,especially considering its a 5 speed.

As you've probably noticed, the MACE CAI works a bit better then the SS inductions one, as it doesn't get heatsoak from the radiator, especially useful in slow driving.
