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..





after stripping it
