So after driving around in my lowered car my rear muffler decided to shit itself, the whole muffler was rusted inside and was ready to fall off. considering it double points soon i dont wanna get defected and possibly loose my license.
i took a drive to the wreckers in my droney pos, and picked up a redback rear muffler for $42, i could of got the whole catback for $84 but i decided i want a lukey one, stupid i know but oh well. got home and changed it, pretty straight forward and now shes all good again
Just scraping around:
Old muffler, check out the rust:
New muffler and installed:
Scrape marks on my exhaust:
Scrapes on my Cat:
so yeah, im loving the height of my car, but i hate the damage, but overall its pretty sexy

a couple of mates and i decided to go to pick n payless, the local wreckers and get some parts for their cars, when i found a commodore with some pedders sports ryder rear shocks, i took them off and asked how much for the pair. $34 for a pair of near new $150 shocks
the next day we chucked them in, and im now one step closer to a fully lowered car, and all ive spent so far is $134
my sound system should be going in, in the next month or so, then its my 18th so things are looking up for my car.
heres some pictures anyways.
pretty new aye.

and one of my stickers
sorry bout the crappy quality.
so as you can see the shocks didnt lower the car at all, they just made the rear ride quality abit better and the car doesnt drop as much when it is full of people.
comments and complaints are welcome, i wanna hear all opinions.
cheers

Looking good man! Considered some white walls? Might break up all that black nicely...
Oh, and how come you were asking after the dress rings? You going to ditch the VX rims?
Can't wait to get my arse into gear and paint my bumper moulds, looks clean as
And is that a crack on your front bumper?
white was a definatly in the future i need new tires first but.Looking good man! Considered some white walls? Might break up all that black nicely...

im thinking about picking up some stockies, silver ones, and putting flappers and dress trims on them, as just a tempory thing untill i get my vx rims powder coated or untill i pickup some bigger rims, hopefully supersports
yeah man, i recon it looks good, really changes the look. have you removed any yet?
yeah, my front bumper isnt in the best condition, and it came with a couple of cracks, so a new one will be purchased in the future and painted, but i need about $500 for that :/
the updates should be flowing soon because cash flow is steady from now on, new apprenticeship, i didnt say much cash flow but

Man for some reason I keep seeing your car everywhere, a couple of weeks ago (just after Xmas before NYE) I think, I was driving my GF's black Cruze and noticed your car outside Nth Parra Dick Smiths, so I parked right behind it haha :P
And lol @ your muffler, exactly the same thing happened driving my car to Tafe once. Came around a corner in Blacktown and heard some weird scraping noise, pulled over in a carpark and there was my rear muffler snapped off the pipe only hanging off by the rear mounts, style right there lmao
Anyway your ride's looking good dude, +1 for Supersports but I want them as well like everyone else hahaha :P
I reckon we polish up the cars and find a good spot to get some pics taken man!

yeah, mine didnt fall completely off, but it was close. what are you studying at tafe and which one?
yeah, supersports are soo nice!
for sure man, you find the spot but cause i know none :P

today i picked up some chasers for a steal! and gave them abit of a sand before i start priming them next weekend.
when i got them home:
abit faded and crappy, but i couldnt resist
after sanding:
I need ideas for what colour to paint them, its either silver or black, whitewalls will be going on and possibly dress rings, so give me your ideas

yeah, i was thinking just all black stockies, hopefully some black centers and maybe some chrome trims, but the white walls are a must! the silver is abit over used these days i wanna do something different
yeah, im liking this idea too

are you sure there genuine holden wheels dude they look different around the studd holes
Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, now that's what gets you...
mate you got it in the bag! these are back on ebay, the guy i picked them up off wasnt telling the complete truth, apparently of a "vz sedan" but yeah, they struggle to fit on a vs commodore, funny that!? lukcy they were only $20
anyone got a ford :P
this look will still be rocked, im on the search for another set, hopefully some will come up cheap, that are actually commodore ones :P

umm i actually sold them again when i swapped my stockies, but they were atlas 15" walls, i got them from ebay America.
i dont know weather they will fit or not onto a 17" rim, but why not give it a go
yeah probably, you know more than i do, i measured them but and they are 5x114 so thats a falcon stud pattern too. oh well, they are on ebay now and hopefully someone will pick them up
small update!
i had a spare set of indicators lying around (orange ovals) so i decided to hit them with some nite shade and chuck them on because lets face it, the orange is ####ed!
im not 100% sure yet but i recon when my windows are tinted they will blend abit better.
honest opinions?
excuse the dirty car :P
