96 VS Series 2 Equipe

[despo]

SSL's ARE ultras... lovells call them ultras(pretty sure) and king springs call them SSL

the springs have settled now and im not complaining it tucks 1/4- 1/2 the tyre so it sits nice now and is not much heigher than the previous springs........but the ride is so much better i think ive finally found the sweet spot i was after.. can also go over speedbumps straight now and it only JUST hits on my cat.. no more looking like a dick at speedbumps haha...

aha know the feeling, when u go over speed humps and women with 4wd just shack their heads at you,,, makes me laugh

[dbarnes]

lol you have to take me for that drive you said you would, and show me how to go straight over a speed bump, havnt done that in a while lol

haha yeah man lol.

yeah lol its annoying. i was real unlucky when i still had my 18's on and was therefore even lower and was going over a massive speed bump...and my mate was with his uncle behind me who is one of those mobile RTA people...that can defect your car etc...luckily my mate said he was knew me or I woulda got ass raped

[dbarnes]

[<RaBBiT>]

*** this thing is looking sweeter than ever theses days nice one man

[dbarnes]

thanks rabbit

**** i love how good this comes up when i clean it, worth every bit of effort lol. note the new headlight protectors i found, $5 at supercheap in a clearance bin, not bad considering my mate just bought plain ones for $50 at autobarn, something different anyway, and also the new height at the back, that is king springs SSL and the shortened shocks. Had all the wheels balanced today no more shaking steering wheel at 80kmh

edit = also sprayed my calais grills white






some pics with the old trampoline springs, not that much of a difference in height now

[GAMBLR]

Pure sex! And the car's not bad either :P haha
Still looks amazing mate, I'll take it off ya hands when ya offload it

[dbarnes]

haha lol
thanks man. cant wait to see what u get next lol any luck yet?

this is with catback and pacemaker extractors with no rear resi... YouTube - VS V6 - Pacies and Lukey 2.5" exhaust

this is just with the catback, standard extractors with no rear resi ... YouTube - VS V6 Lukey 2.5" exhaust

it gets loud around 2,500rpm, keeps going till about 3500 then rounds out with a faster sort of tone, hard to explain but i ****ing love it, sound alot better than buick motors (in my opinion)... ive never been done for exhaust mate you will be right, theyre not overly loud unless you're flogging it everywhere....just open it up on normal roads and keep it quiet around town

[HamaTime™]

colour coded door handles?

[dbarnes]

yep soon man i want the rest of the SS kit, maybe the bit on the boot too.. and of course the white handles...

[dbarnes]

[protocol]

[dbarnes]

thanks mate, shit havent been on here in awhile...

The VS is now undercover for the next year or so, sitting on 97,000km's. Don't want to sell it would rather keep it as a project, so I'm doing more mods to it over time, including supercharging it ....got my V8 now so going to be driving that with the occasional weekend drive in the VS to keep it running.

[GAMBLR]

Love it...

I wanna keep mine under 100k now lol

[Cammed v6]

Hey mate nice car. Heaps clean and tidy. the wheels look really nice, unique but nice. nice ride height too. good work

[nf_vrII]

[English]

i know this has probaly been asked somewhere in this thread, but anyway, what springs do you have in the front, I'm assuming super low's??

[English]

one more question, where did you find those calais grills, all the ones I am looking at just seem normal except with chrome around the edge.

[dbarnes]

ultra lows in the front.

theyre normal calais grills that have been resprayed white

car now has svz 18's and the rest of the ss kit

[HamaTime™]

I thought you sold it Darren?
