    Are you willing to part with this pulley since you aren't going down the boosted track?

    Opinions please:

    * Colour coded mirrors and handles

    * Silver dash surround or leave it black (was white earlier last year, looked crap)

    Same as above, though I do like the colour coded dash surround. Also them side strips taken off would look noice

    You don't want just a big hunk of the same colour rolling through the car, You need a theme, Single colour throughout the whole thing looks bland, Go for two colours, Silver/ a colour that goes well with it, Generally a nice mild toned blue

    I had always dreamed of owning one (the VS was in the top 5 dream cars list in my mind, no ferrari's for me thanks, some people think I am sad that my 5 dream cars are mostly holdens and chevs lol) and when I found this little gem in a shed I jumped on it.


    From the day I bought it I knew it needed an HSV kit, just made the VS look that much tougher
    Hell yeh love your thinking id much rather spend the money on a commodore and eat the ferrari for breakfast lunch n dinner EVEN dessert hahahahaha oh wait theres more you will STILL have change loll nice ride btw

    Well latest info...

    New gauges ordered (making a 3 gauge mount under head unit) ordered a Speco Oil Pressure, Volt & Water temp.

    New speakers coming in the next 2 weeks (Response 6.5" splits, paper cone....absolute best splits I have ever heard....the Alpine type r's I was looking at before I found these was nothing in comparison)

    Sub finally upgraded from an old american boss sub to a 1200w 12" Pioneer sub.

    Latest torque graph shows the car is putting out around the 420nm which is enough to pin me back in the seat and get me from 0-100 at a pretty decent time.

    Haven't done any exact runs yet, but will hook the gtech up tomorrow and go for a run if I get time...keeps up with most of the 5.7s I have run with up until around 110-120 when they start pulling away

    Your gauges look good, will use it for inspiration....think I will use some sheet aluminium to fabricate a flush mount for that area so it looks like part of the trim. (it's what I do as a hobby/part time work :P)

    Updates....everyone likes updates (haven't had internet for a while...just moved to the country):

    * New black molded carped should arrive in the next few weeks to replace the stained dirty factory grey carpet

    * New diff (3.45) is in...just awaiting Mace to finish my tune for it

    * Installed switches where the ash tray used to be for my Footwell Lights, Manual Thermo Switch & Line Locker (When it arrives)

    * Replaced the crappy ricerbarn gauges with a Speco Street Pro Volt & Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge

    * also been shopping some concepts of series 1 SSV 19's onto the car as my tyres are getting a bit low at the back due track/skid pan use so looking at a set of SSV's with Goodyear Symetrical F1 tyres

    Pics to come

    Black carpet and diff gears sound good.
    Car's looking great, hopefully mine will look similar one day... ahah
    Also jesus christ, running 0-100 in about 6 seconds?
    Mine does it in 8.5, with two subwoofers, a gas tank and passenger. Can't blame them though I guess, and I think only mod you have other than me (performance wise) are the fuel pump, plugs and corvette servo D:

    Also; what do you think of Altezza headlights?

    The headlights are the only aftermarket lights I would put on my car, they look good, and the 5000k globes look better through those lights too.

    Would never put the tail lights on though

    Also the big difference in that 0-100 time for me was the new Diff, that shaved a couple of seconds off easily, its getting retuned again this week for the new gears so that the shift points work correctly.

    Doesn't have them yet. I think that if you remove the side strips (my opinion) and get the altezza headlights (tailights are ugly as #### I agree) it'd come up very very nicely
    Also okay, I'm pl;anning on 3.7 diff gears, worked out that shift into second gear is still after 100km.h
