well this is my daily just to get me around till i finish my VL

its a country pack vs exec with factory gas,
the car came with fuel tank and sump guards, bigger swaybars, raised and the duel fuel all from factory

we have owned this car since approx 50 000km and it has been running well since, i was given the car for free to use as a daily as we had it parked doing nothing

the car is really clean for its ks, its had the factory dash mat on since it left the show room and no major engine problems have happened

the picture with the 18s was how it was a few weeks back but the thread was starting to run low on the tyres so i removed them, plus they are off my vl


dirty from a day out riding and many drit roads

wow havnt seen this thread in a while ha
not much has changed since,

just the cluster has made 150,000km, new kenwood head unit,
rims i keep swapping between my 18" HBD j Series, HSV avelance 18's and the 15 alloys

[VL Berlina 5speed]

here is a few pics after a detail at work
with the HSV avelanche rims on

not my best photos as it was on my phone, next time ill get pics with my camera so they were be alot better

[VL Berlina 5speed]

been having crappy fuel avg for a while now, was doing 13ltr/100k on gas and recently been at 18ltrs/100k

last night fault poped up and was lh o2 sensor
so just replaced both o2 sensors and the ecu temp sensor
should hopefully bring the fuel back down

i like the wheels are they genuine

[fuzzy2308]

looks nice

[VL Berlina 5speed]

i like the wheels are they genuine

which ones?
both the 18s are genuine holden/hsv rims
HBD j series (vy range) and HSV avelanche

looks nice

cheers, looks nice when clean but im lazy and wash it every once in a while ha

i need to detail the inside soon, looks nice when i get the time,
and in winter i occasionly get the dash mat off, been on since factory



well the fuel has came down quite a bit
running on petrol (premium) its dropped from 16ltr/100k too 11.1ltr/100k
did 70ks today crusiing at 60 and throught the city

so im happy with that,
will fill the gas up tonight and see what i get going to trade school this week,
last week i got 347km out of the tank so ill be happy if i get the 450 mark

[VL Berlina 5speed]

well finally gave it a good scrub last night after work
currently got the j series on but they will be off soon when ive got time to swap them
the tread is about a mm or 2 above the legal marker so i best

might chuck the avelances back on

fuel usage is much better now, gas is 15ltr /100km and petrol is about 10ltr/100km
well worth the $1 it cost for the sensors

i was thinking yesterday at work about the ks the car has done and from what i caan work out its actually at the 450,000km mark
orignal cluster said 380,000km, but was wound back by 40,000km when we sold it by a car yard, and the cluster has done 25,000 since i put it in

so its up at the 450,000 mark
and still drive nice
