My Vs Clubsport '97

[HSV.8U]

hey guys.. i last posted about 5months ago when i first bought the car.. but back then i didnt know how to upload pics.. anyway i just thought id share my pride and joy with all of you let me know what you guys think


Model: 1997 Vs II Clubsport
Build Number: 2079
Engine: 5.0 Litre 185i
Kms: 165,000
Transmission: 5spd Manual with EXEDY heavy-duty clutch
Air Induction: HSV cold air intake with BMC Panel AirFilter
Sound System: Sony In-Dash Dvd Player, Alpine v12 4-Channel Amp, Coustik 2-Channel Amp, 12 inch JL Audio sub, 6" JL Audio Splits, 6" JL Audio Rears.


At the moment the car is pretty stock standard.. only things that have been changed is the BMC filter, the clutch, iv dropped it on SL king springs, tinted the windows and put the sound system in..

Future Mods: im hoping to get an exhaust/headers on asap, im probably going to chuck SSL springs on the rear as its still sitting a little high.. i wana get them things done first before i start looking at harder performance mods..

Give me some personal opinions on what you guys reckon =] enjoy!

all fixed haha sorry mate

Very nice mate! Silver looks nice and tidy, paintwork looks a treat too.
But damn you, yours was optioned with the devonish seats I WANT THEM
How does the exedy clutch feel? Im doing my clutch and gearbox in the not to distant future, would like some input on what different clutches are like.

haha thanks mate! yeahhh my mate has a cherry black VS clubby and i was surprised that his seats wernt like mine... i thought they all came out with these seats haha now i realise how lucky i am :P

as for the clutch.. its awsome! when i first bought the car the stock clutch was starting to get a bit tighter as it was wearing.. and it wasnt grabbing until ur foot was 3-quarters off! so i spent about $700 to have the EXEDY installed and its really good! it grabs much earlier and firmer now.. and yeah but i was surprised at the fact that its not as hard to push in as the stock one! its actually abit lighter ahaha :P

that is a very clean clubby, one to be proud of and to show off on weekends.

thanks mate.. iv done my best to look after her

[Wagon_Wheel]

Oh ok thats good, ive heard good things about them.
Hang on, yours is a series 2? With the getrag box? And it only cost you $700 to get clutch put in?!
My uncle has the getrag box in his ute and they quote him $1700!!! or if it were a series 1 it woulda only been $500 lol.

So whats plans power wise?

[HSV.8U]

haha yeah series 2 and only cost me $700 including installation :P i used to work at a car dealer so i got it done pretty cheap

as for power mods.. the first thing coming will defiantly be extractors and an exhaust.. don't ask me what type/brand/size exhaust because i havnt decided yet.. was hoping to get some opinions on here

i dnt know what else im going to do after the exhaust.. havnt really sat down and thought about it.. what would u recommend?

[Wagon_Wheel]

I would recommend pacemaker's, and a twin cat twin 2.5" system.
Then motor wise, really depends on how far you want to go and how much you want to spend.
