Had it for a while now, its just my daily, it does the job, 3.9's make it pretty pokey but revs its nuts off highway driving, mates got a 355 stroker kit laying about that he didnt use for his car that we might do, but seen as its a daily i think i'll just end up getting a side mount supercharger.. who knows.. descisions descisions.. hah

wat kms u gettin a tank?

depends how i drive, get about 500ish to a tank, but the trip computer will say 700 till empty but digital speedo (all my distance to empty ****, average litres etc.) is all out, my analogue speedo reads right but the digital one doesnt, its a pain in the ass.

[VZHSV]

500 a tank wtf lol?
freeway or town?

man i only get 350-400 around town sucks

[Cody]

thats highway driving, fair bit of it,
i have a massive fuel tank too

[hsvplus6]

[Cody]

YouTube - HSV VS Senator exhaust note

[Cobez]

Sounds pretty good for a video, would sound heaps better in person though i'd imagine!!

[Cody]

hah i havent heard it outside the car need someone to drive it round the block for me hahahaha

[Cobez]

Hahaha, yeah, the exhaust note is alot different outside the car as opposed to inside the cabin.

[Cody]

i think my starter motor is about to die was hell struggling to kick over, made a few clicky noises, but my alternator is charging so its not that.. and my battery is new.. hmmm.. and im losing water somewhere, not into the oil, i think its the hose behind my motor, leaks onto my trans and evaperates cause i cant see any dropping anywhere.

[Cody]

it was just the relay on the starter motor, $30 fix hah, thank god for that, am in desperate need of a tune but, and my trip computer is out by alot cause of my diff gears, the speedo needle is correct, but the digital speed isnt... anyone got any ideas on that?

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

That be a sweet ride
Good 2 c its a daily aswell

[Cody]

hah thanks, got a new pic from the other day after it got a wash, excuse the crappy phone camera pic.

[Surfwagon]

Nice car.
That latest pic almost looks like it's a toy/model superimposed on a background must be the quality from the camera phone.

[Cody]

haha i wish it was a toy model
it would cost me less money lol

[LightningVP]

Looks nice mate, not sure about the grill but I guess it would grow...Each to their own, but I'm glad mine isn't a toy model....I have enough trouble finding room in my car for stuff, if it were any smaller there would be no room for me :|

[Cody]

im goin to do it haha, went to bank and sorted out how much money i've got at the moment and i think i've got enough to start buying toys...

side mount vortech charger, shift kit, deep oil pan for gearbox, tune and if there is any more left at the end i'll think about a twin 3inch and ditching the twin 2 and a halfs... its alot of money to burn but sometimes u've got the just bite the bullet and do it hahaha i want atleast 350 - 400rwhp so i'll see how i go *shrug* my best mate whos worked in a heap of performance shops and does heaps from home (his got a hoist, flowbench (free heads ), gas analyser, etc. etc.) reckons we can do it, and i trust him so we'll see how i go!
