Geoff's VS Clubsport Build #144

[Cobez]

The sunroof looks good man!!

I thought you didn't want sigs either cos every man and his VS has them!!

[Wagon_Wheel]

Thanks dude, lol. Every commo does have sigs nowadays, i was just curious to see what they'd look like.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Think I've gone off getting 19's now... Checked my tread on my 18's the other day, not lookn great, and the IRS wear is now showing so that sucks, ill have to get new tyres soon and they rnt even very old, and ive hardly ripped any skids, and the ones i have done are so small its not funny.... dont wanna have to pay for tread on 19's that often... See how i go.

On another note, got my sub amp today, so now gotta rewire all my stereo with 4 guage and distro block, and maybe a capacitor, and install my splits which i still havnt done, then do boot setup. Will take me a while though cause im too bloody lazy... But i really should.

[Wagon_Wheel]

OK well like the girl i am, i changed my mind again.... me and markie when wheel shopping today lol. Got a few quotes.... the WH grange wheels are gonna sting me about $2200 whihc are 18's. Or the ANZ 5+5 i am keen on, for 19's i got quoted $1900 with good tyres.... what you guys think??? I am considering this, just gotta sell my 18's and put the tri's back on for a few weeks and then get the 19's.... these are the wheels im talking about:

[weedo_86]

geoff its up to you what you decide after al it is your car. After changing my wheels im considering putting the orginals back on but get them fixed up

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yeah i know that, but other ppl's opinions matter, unless they just talk **** lol.
Might put the dorito's on tonight if im not feeling too lazy, just gotta get a replacement hex bolt for the one i had to drill out.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Whoa... still cant put the doritos on...... its harder than i thought to track down a bolt suitable for it
The ones dad bought home were completly wrong... went to bolt shop today, got told good luck lol, holden couldnt help me either, they said i can try going to a direct HSV dealer or somthing... but not promised anything..... Sucks!!!
Dave can i have one of yours? Your not using them....
Might have to go all out custom.... for one F*ing bolt!!!

[hsvpunk]

bahahahaha CUSTOM... well bring the bolt round, im sure my dad will get one at work for ya... well if he can make a wheel brace for the sigma, im sure he can get the bolt for ya.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yeah ill give ya one today man, im sure you will swing by randomly anyways like u always do... its all good..
Hopefully get like 80-90% of the stereo done today....
Oil flush and change tomorow, and maybe change rims, and maybe fix the skirt, we shall see how much energy i have

[hsvpunk]

all good. ill swing by soon, i gota wat first.. mmm foood.
kool kool abt oil n **** tmrw, aslong as ya can still take me to pick up my rig in the arvo.

[weedo_86]

I lost one of my centre cap as well as the bolt i contacted HSV they gave me a quote for the cap and bolt $140, so fair expensive

[Wagon_Wheel]

Ill swing by a hsv dealer tomorrow morning and try my luck.
90% of stereo is done now, im happy, got so much done today.
Should be all finished by tomorrow

[Hillerus]

Nice clubby mate,very tidy. Have you thought about colour coding your door handles? I did it to my SS, and it made it look alot smoother.

Still nice though!

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yeah i had thought about it, and i did it to my VR, but i dont really mind it on the clubby, it sorta breaks it up a bit, and everything on the car is red and black so it looks alright.

Went to HSV today, and there is only 3 of those bolts in Victoria! So i ordered them, Woulda been $3 each if i went to pick them up, but woulda cost me $20-$30 in petrol just to get there so now gotta pay like i think $21 for 3 bolts cause they had to get them sent here......

Also just bought a new capacitor and 2 response 300WRMS Carbon Fibre subs, all the rest of the stez is goin in today so hopefully goes off tap

*another local*

[weedo_86]

[Wagon_Wheel]

Whoa, talk about random.....
Ive seen your car around heaps of times, that was cool though cruisin together in the exact same car and same color too, both with sunroof's too man. Yours sounded mint when you gave it a boot full.
Our cars probly look identical now, as i put the original wheels back on now.
How come you've got black side mirrors though?

damn you geoff i need one of those bolts now i have to get them ordered in from interstate

LOL, well i have 2 spare now.... ill keep them in a safe place.


So... after this weekends efforts, the old stereo is out, new stereo is in, sounds good, just needs to be tuned to my liking, but goes very well.
Was an absolute bitch but in the end i guess it pays off.
Old wheels are back on.... really need to fix them up though, they ride soooo smooth compared to my 18's, couldnt believe the difference.

Any who, heres a few pics:

[adzy_5l]

yeah that a good point i had a look on car sales and about half have red ones and half black.. is yours series1 maybe they changed it for series2

[Wagon_Wheel]

Hmm, wouldnt have a clue actually.
Is yours a series 2?
I would have thought if they changed them in the series, then series 1 would have black and series 2 have color coded.... Ahhh well..
You should paint yours though, looks a lot cleaner.

[weedo_86]

mines series 2

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yours has color coded mirrors yeh?

[=Calais v8=]

they ride soooo smooth compared to my 18's, couldnt believe the difference.

i know what you mean, i put my calais wheels on my VR when i was selling it, i couldnt belive how smooth it was to drive. almost wanted to keep it!

car is looking awesome mate, can i have your gearbox and roof? do you keep it garaged? im struggling to keep mine clean at the moment.

WHY DOES THE RAIN HAVE SO MUCH DAMN DIRT IN IT?!

I guess the rain is just a bit kinky, likes it dirty all the time.

But thanks mate, and no you cant have my gearbox.... or my roof..... theres somthing wrong with my roof at the moment.... its got a giant hole in it.... Damn
My cars been filthy for like a few weeks til i washed it the other night, but the weather has been so unpredictable and rain on and off, so wasnt worth washing it anyway, just gets dirty in 10 mins anyway.

[Wagon_Wheel]

New plates are on there way, should be friday or monday.
Should suit the car pretty well
