[Benji_36]

well engineering is all set for this friday arvo =D

so should be all good.... cant wait to get that bit of paper in my hand and too see the cops face when i show em haha it will be a Kodak moment in the making =D

[Benji_36]

smoked engineering friday arvo with Stuart,

was plently of clearance under full lock, and the rims didnt fowl anywhere at all..
so pretty happy bout that..

now Tuesday i get all the exemption papers and the new tyre placecard.. then we are all set.

going to be funny when i show up the regency with people seeing the car rock up with 19's on trying to get defect and roll straight over..

rego runs out 3days before regency tho =( so im going to use my RAA free tow down to regency hahaha then ill whack rego on it straight after while im down there..hahaha beats paying for a one day permit =D

[Benji_36]

okay well today was d-day at regency park...

and it was all good and smooth as, luckily I got two awesome inspectors =D
they were a bit confused why i would try to come thru with 19ths on, but then when I filled them in about the engineering they had a laugh bout it...

so ye well back to gettn stato a bit better now, springs on order (a new ride height...i think ill go for some super lows, as ive got a biggish stereo install to come that will slamm the rear a bit ), and tint gets done on Sunday arvo.... so then we will be all good =D

[Benji_36]

just got a s3 rear skirt (both pieces).... so i pick it up 2morro/monday, so watch out for some pics...

[Benji_36]

well picked up the two piece series 3 rear skirts yesterday...

and they where in ok condition, a few light rub marks, and few scraps on bottom of em.. so ye there were the typical nicks n **** in them..

so i took them across to my painter 2 secs from my house and he going to buzz them back and fit em up for me Wednesday this week (fingers crossed if he gets time..) so they will look minta.. and Saturday picking up a different exhaust tip, so it looks nice with the skirts..

my *new ride height* springs will be here Tuesday, so ive gone with some luuvells Super Lows which will be enough for now, and when i get the front series 3 skirts it will look as low as the SSSSL but only be Super Lows...

and my whitewalls get done on Wednesday morn... makes me cry ever time i look at my rims without them so ye..

and hopefully this week i get my HID's for my fog lights done, then will be all good =D

so there will be a few pics over this next week...so stay tuned..

[Benji_36]

ok well some bad news n my painter been sick for the pats few days so his workshop a few days behind now and he cant do my rear skirts wednesday..
so will have to be next week

but today did get to order a gen. vs s3 stato front lower lip, will arrive thursday..

and my new luvvell springs where put in (SL's) and they smack bang on legal limit, but still looks low..
but with skirting will come across even lower again..

[Disturbed_vegeta]

so ur putting a vsIII skirt kit on! i did that on the front...and ss on the rear. makes the s1 look so much better. how much did you pay for it and to get it painted etc?

[Benji_36]

yeh i am, cause since i anit puttin my XXXXL's back in ive got superlows and i want the stato to have a tuffer stance and they way i thought i can do that is skirting from SIII, and will be getting a VS SIII front grille as well, cause the SIII grille are heaps different from SII they are more like wh stato grilles and will stand out...

mmm front skirt is gen from holden and cost me $192.50

and tha rear (2pcs) is gen but i got 2nd hand in gd condition for $100

and painting and fitting will be round the $$300mark

hopefully it will get done next week when my painter gets a moment... fingers crossed! put there will be picks up as soon as it is done... i promise =D

i pick up my plates 2morro as well =D HMAS VR HAHAHAHA!

[Benji_36]

plates are now on the car so look out for them...=D

true. i was gonna go the s3 grill but they are so hard to find so i just went for the caprice one^_^. did you get the s3 number plate mould aswell because the s1 etc wont fit on with the skirt

[PWRFL6]

Hey mate, nice stato just wondering how much did the engineering cerf cost you cause i got defect for the same thing

let me know

Cheers PWRFL6

[Benji_36]

true. i was gonna go the s3 grill but they are so hard to find so i just went for the caprice one^_^. did you get the s3 number plate mould aswell because the s1 etc wont fit on with the skirt

naa i havent but ive been told the skirting will fit with the s1 number plate surround..

i would love a s3 one but ye s1 will have to do atm...

and bout the s3 grille, the guy I deal with at holden spare parts near my house, says you can still order in the s3 grille and it the same price as the caprice grille..

[Benji_36]

well here is a fresh pic of the car at legal height ( *interest sad face here* ).. i can certainly tell the difference...but still looks good tho..

[Benji_36]

well was just across at the crash shop, n they are painting my s3 front bar lower lip and fixing the rear up n painting it 2morro YAY! =D

so might get fitted up over the next few days fingers crossed if they have a lil bit up there sleeve to do it..

[FORCED]

so if you got a tyre placard that says 19s does that mean now you can go to 21''?? was unsure how it all works

[Benji_36]

naaa it sayn as in a adjustment as been made and now the vechile has gone from 15's/16s to 19s and is deemed legal... not saying that replaces the std placard in saying i can adj the size of my rims even more to 20, 21 etcs....

[thekid]

wat did that cost to get dun

[Pimpt6]

Bro how are things going with your beast now that you have been off defect? been harrased at all with those rims? Still looks killer at the height . Any new pics?

[Leigh_G]

Great looking car mate, I'm also interested in how much it cost ya to get the wheels engineered!

[<RaBBiT>]
