    Default My VR S1 Stato

    hey all how are, some of you might remember I had a Blue 96 VS s2 with a massive stereo system that had tv screen, splits, rears, 2 batteries, 2 mono blocks, a 4channel amp, and two monster 15s in a custom install... did go to Auto salon in 06....

    well here is my daily driver ive built up to be pure pimp! (and only to get better) as i wanted to make the best cruiser in my mind and make a tuff statesman... I think ive done alright so far =D

    Wheels/Tyres: 19x8's Boss Elanor's with 235/35's and 20mm whitewalls

    Interior: VS SII Stato Full Center Console

    Stereo: Pioneer DEH 7750 is doing the job for now... (might be building something up like old system but a bit different... so watch this space...=D)

    yer i kno sussn the options and ye go from there, if i do a 5Ltr + setup i kno it will get put off road lol

    ye alwayz done whitewalls on on other cars, and ye the statesman was a no brainier to do it, but only thing i changed was the thickness of line, since stato a bigger car then commo needs a bigger line as a "normal" sized line (10-12mm) will look like a bit of shoe lace so had to increase it to 20mm to stand out, and ye..... jecs alot of people have asked are they 20"s + haha so certainly does the job...

    my car was off the road for 3 months. i sold the V6 to a person on this forums so it all needed to come out early than i wanted it to. my mate just drop'd a 355 in his stato. it took him 3 days to do it lol. if you have all the parts the longest it will take you is 2 weeks. just think over your options first tho.

    ye, well sussn the options, n possible power figure goals

    would like to get round 300rwkw tho, so if it would be 355 might have to be helped along if you get what I mean =D

    trying to find a wrecked stato atm, wouldn't mind if it was a vs s3 or some thing so then i can grab a few other things off it as well...

    could possible look at ls1 conv. but havnt seen any round done so don't kno the extent of cost...

    the wreck i bought was a Series 3 stato. so it had the roller cam in it, but when i got a quote to have a 355 roller cam set up built the price tag was around the $7500 figure. so i stuck with the hydraulic cam. least with the hydro cam you can see the engine shake and sh*t.

    here's some pics..

    just planned stereo for stato with a good mate,
    so here is the run down, tell us what you think (should be getting all done end of this month):

    - JVC KD-AV7100 7" touch screen tv

    - MB Quarts Reference 6.5" Splits

    - MB Quarts 6.5" Rears Speakers

    - DD M2 Amp

    - DD C4 Amp

    - DD 3515 sub

    - DD Custom box

    - Full Dynamat car kit: front doors, rear parcel shelf, Boot.

    so just quietly this is going to thump!! I even got a feeling it will make more power and be louder than last system!

    so watch out for some updates but will be getting round tax return time

    WK Statesman indicators are tuff. i got a set and put them on my car. make sure you have a bit of silastic glue, because the plug is small than the hole in the guard.

    i reckon caprice grill is the go they look alot slicker than the stato ones... oh and your rims have no dish thats why they look alot bigger... plus the whitewalls help too
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    ye the VZ stato indicators went on tonight n put LED indicator wedge globes so they wont blow, and they look f***ing gansta! will take a few pics n post up tomorrow,

    ill go pick up the wh caprice bonnet ornament Wed-Thursday and ye should be sick... has anyone ever put one on a normal hood? if so is it hard??

    walsey: ye plus it helps that I choose the bigger whitewall size to jam into my 35's profile so it looks even bigger again and emphasis the effect alot more than the normal 10-12mm wall.
