New Thread started....this one got too cluttered with old pics

[someguy360]

What do you guys think, superlows on the rear and lows on the front or Superlows right round?

[GEN3RATD]

superlows all round, i dont get the fascination with different springs

[VR028]

superlows all around will look nice. i personally wouldnt waste any cash on engine mods if your going to swap the engine. just get it running nicely and save

Updated with latest pics/mods

This car has an interesting look, I like it, it's good to see something a bit different. Seems to need a manual conversion though

Thanks mate, tried to make it something a little different to the average VS

Yeah, when I get the time to build my 355 I will be going a manual

[F l a k]

Yeah it looks good.

I'm eventually going to get a 5l variant built for my VR too, will be a few years off but still, until then it's fun messing around with the V6

This thing is gonna look tough with lower springs.

Maybe look at some Calais taillights too?

Thanks champ, yeah I will be updating pics in a day or two as its now sitting on super lows and Tenzo Racing bucket seats.....looks tough.

Might look into the calais tailights, how are they different from the standard ones?

Got some vids/pics from the 1/8 mile runs at tailem bend last sunday I will put up too (basically setting benchmark times before the cam and FI)

[F l a k]

Can't wait for the pics and videos man.

The Calais tail lights have grey indicators instead of orange, but are otherwise the same so far as I know.

[1TUFVS]

Look forward to the updates!

Calais Taillights:



As F l a k said, clear indicator section as opposed to the orange. May not seem like much of a difference, but trust me on a Silver VS they look the goods!

[someguy360]

Pics finally updated....sorry for the delay

[F l a k]

Awesome new pics man. What did it run?

[1TUFVS]

Got a nice, tough stance Also good to see what SL springs look like on a VS similar to mine, doesn't make the car look TOO low so that gives me more confidence in buying them lol.

What did it run?

I second that motion.

[someguy360]

Now rockin the full HSV body kit (Pic from cruise for charity)

I've been looking for a Clubby kit in Silver Ice for ages. Damn you -.-

Definitely grab some VTII side indicators for 20 bucks, they'll make a huge difference. Also perhaps a Senator grille? Then you'll be pretty damn good in the looks department!

[F l a k]

Looking awesome mate. But what did it run at the drags? We need to know lol.

Also if you are after clear side indicators I have a basically new pair you can have for $10

Thanks mate, quite broke at the moment though after spending $650 all up on the bodykit and paint


Its running 14.4 second quarters (that was with bad tyres and 91 octane fuel, my tune is for 98 so it runs like a dog on 91 so hopefully can push better next time)


Can't wait for the cam, injectors and vortech next year....then we will get some good times :P

Well it was maroon when I bought it, I had to spray it in silver ice (I have around 10 litres of the stuff :P )
