    Default My VS Stato

    Here is the Barge as it currently sits.

    No mods so far

    It is standard bar the 17's, that includes a single spinner diff.

    Best time down the 1/4 is 14.9@92mph.

    Anyways, here are the pics:

    Diff is whining like a bitch, don't want to have to take it out twice if I don't have to

    Have now ran a 14.5@93mph.

    LSD is in
    3.9s are in
    87mm YT blower pulley is on

    Only mods so far. Got some 19s the other week too.

    Pics from Charity Cruise (am making a new grille, been sitting in my lounge room for 6 months now - just can't get any motivation)





    Yes I know it needs to be lowered - but cooler comes first.

    Am very undecided. Am picking up a VU SS ute tonight for the missus - and will probably spend some cash on that to get it running some decent times.

    Yeah factory supercharged ecotec. The few little mods helped liven it up a bit, and the down low torque is a lot of fun to play with

    Some more just got emailed to me - some of you may know the track - taken at Lakeside Raceway (hopefully to be reopened if all goes well)







    Got the VU ute the other day as well. Made up my mind - getting the Stato into the 12s then all money is going on the ute. Missus drives it and I race it - I think that is a good deal
