    Default WAL3SY's VS SS daily (soon to be boosted)

    Well guys i got rid of the Gemini i had and got this in its place, just a nice run about for me to tidy up and cruise in

    Name: Walesy, Daniel, whatever

    Model: 95 VS SS

    Colour: dark green (no idea what the colour is actually called) with red side trim

    Body Work: Standard SS kit, minus spoiler

    Engine Type: Holden 304ci 5ltr

    Engine Mods: NIL

    Exhaust: stock everything except straight pipe where the rear resonator was

    Trans: Stock Auto

    Diff: Stock

    Power: untested, but its a standard 5ltr so not much at all

    Wheels/Tyres: VZ SS 18's painted black, 245/45/18 tyres

    Suspension: unsure, havn't really looked but proberly standard

    Brakes: standard disc's with fully sick red calipers ;-)

    Interior: standard SS

    Stereo: stock, with half of a broken aerial

    Other Mods: NONE

    Future Mods: Kepping it simple, its just to get me to and from work basically, but theres a few things im gunna fix

    *Boot lip spoiler
    *New SeriesII taillights, prev owner tinted the shit out of these ones and they were poorly done
    *lower the front ever so slightly so it looks a little more even
    *Fix the sagging hood lining
    *Get some proper fog lights as it has aftermarket ones that look out of place
    *New SS sticker kit as the side ones look a bit shabby and the boot one is M.I.A
    *MAYBE get a mail order tune

    thats about it really



    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    The missing fuse box cover is the only thing I can find wrong with this car. Very nice.

    he couldnt afford the fuel, and wanted a 4cyl manual, the gemmi was resprayed morpheous purple and had 17's with a 2ltr rodeo motor in it (gemmis were 1.6ltr) so i reckon it was a fair trade

    thanks guys, might need to use it a little more often, the caprice's water pump shat itself, no idea if its a gasket or worse yet, need to pull it apart and have a look

    Nice pick up. Paint looks in good nick. Gold bananas look different too.

    I didn't think that 245s fitted on the front of a VS....something to do with rubbing on the struts ?

    im not sure if i like the gold bannanas, and the 245 on the front fit fine, but theyre only 18's, maybe if they were 19's or 20's they would have scrubbing issues
