vn was a good car and will be missed when sold.. but i mainly got it to learn manual
and ive mastered the art of driving haha.
yeh ive heard of street class limos.
therses a member which lives around the corner in a black vq with a sticker of it.
yeh once i get it all good and happy ill take it out on a street class cruise and photoshoots.
Well done dude. u have seen the light and bought a 5 litre. May the stato cruises begin
Look forward to seeing this soon.
Cheers Marc.
there is a SCL cruise in mid october.
MySpace.com - Street Class Limos - 27 - Male - AU - www.myspace.com/streetclasslimos
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
go the sIII =D
getting stuck on speed humps snice ya grandma was a virgin...
Ahhh found ya thread!!
Nice work man, now get some pics up! You should head out for a Fountain Gate meet up soon and come for a cruise....
cheers yeh ill have to pop by one day and actually meet and greet with the bunch of ya's not sit in the other corner.
i added some pics of it which was on carsales, will have to add some on the weekend
**** that's clean as man!! Even got the CAI and high flow airbox on it too!!
Interior looks the goods. Yeah we will keep ya posted for when we are meeting up man!
yea its nice and clean, might not have leather but not really botherd.
still has the seatcovers from 8 years ago lol. gotta get rid of em when i get the car back.
its a nice and tidy car so im wrapped.
also got that series 3 lipkit/grange kit?? not sure if its a standard or anything
but yeh its pretty cool and nicer then the vn.
just not sure to put a shift kit and strengthen the auto in it or not, as im not too sure how itll handle
after driving a manual all the time and going into an auto its a bit diff buti dont mind it.
only been in a car with a stage 3 shift kit and you felt it change pretty hard which i wasnt a fan of , just want something smooth thats all.
Just go a stage 2 man. If you don't want it to shift real hard, just don't put a corvette servo in it. That's what makes shift kitted auto's shift harder.
I have decided not to bother with a shift kit when i get my auto rebuilt and strengthened. Just a corvette servo with the rest of the gear i want. Shift kits aren't worth the money you pay for them IMO. Was ok on the VP because anything that made it go a little harder was a massive benefit haha.
Looks clean as Maz. u have done well.
Stage 2 shift kit will be the go. i shall get around to doing mine at some stage...
Look forward to seeing more pics, and catchn up for a yap.
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
ye pics look clean as man, awesome starting base!
getting stuck on speed humps snice ya grandma was a virgin...
cheers fellas, ill get some pics up for ya's maybe on saturday or sunday.
also might be doing my exhaust then stereo in the next few weeks too
got the car back friday arvo so wrapped when i got it
exept it was already dark so couldnt really take any pics..
only got 2 which really turned out alrite
looks good Maz, well done with it.
I regret selling my stato wheels, coz they do look pretty good on the car.
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
Hey mate, love the car.
Just wondering what you paid for it,
im thinking about getting a stato and want to get a
picture of how much it would cost me.
Cheers
hey champ, got it for 8500 no rego/rwc.
stock as rock
Nice stato man looks the goods interior is nice any more pics of it?
Also wondering why being a S3 it doesnt have the roller motor i thought all s3's got them maybe it was just the later ones.
Anyways top car man good price too
