once this happens it will move from daily drive to a weekender.
hopefully soon i shall get her a fresh coat of paint just gonna stick with white but ill get those strips taken off and get rear door handles for front and paint them all and i wanna get rid of the body kit as im not a huge fan of any body kits.

I reckon she looks a bit of a sleeper, keep it that way!! Looks mean!
well i think the vx clubby had similar wheels but they were a champane colour vy clubby i think had them them same colour as mine but i think you are thinking of a clubby R8
Wheels
just to confirm these are the wheels i brought i got mine second hand for 600 with tyres but yer are identical
Nice VS, bet it's fun to drive with the charger on it.
EDIT: That site is wrong. They are VX clubby wheels. Vy clubby wheels have a flat spoke.

HSV Wallpapers
this is also off the hsv site if u look at vx clubby rims they are champane in colour and mine are silver this is off the same site hsv and the vy clubby series one had my rims the clubby vy r8 had different rims
and yer the charger makes it extremly fun to drive cant wait to get an lsd diff in it and some gears which were meant ot be here for today but they havent arrived which sucks
i like thiss. nice engine bay and def not overdone in the exterior good work man.
should break 13's with the above mentioned?
im hopong for a 13.5 im gonna keep working on it till i get a 13.5 after that ill leave it be.
if diff gears, a tune, exhaust and shift kit dont get me a 13.5 ill be getting YT roller rockers and if still not there ill just go some taller gears and wear the shit highway driving
just a little update my diff gears have arrived today 3.45
i went and pucked up a carrier diff and im taking it to my diff guy today.
i also had a thought of vx seats instead of my seats and seems a few people have done it before and i had money burning a hole in my pocket so i have the vx seats at my house for 200 bucks front and back
today im just gonna concentrate on the front seats.
should be sik with them all done.
as for the diff i have a freshly reconditioned lsd centre and the diff is getting a overhaul everything ill be new
have bene quoted 550 for a tranny service boost valve and corvette servos think just 2 corvette servos.
Nice work mate.You had it on a dyno yet?
nah not yet ey heaps of things i gotta do just never seem to have the time might get time of work to do a bit
got the drivers seat in on saturdya night took about 1.5 hours which wasnt bad wasnt a fun job though
i spent all day at the diff guys house doing the diff. the diff took 4 trys to get perfect the gear set up that is and yer now i just gotta put it in might just get some1 to do it as i cant really be bothered
have pics of seat install complete but didnt worry about taking pictures of while i was doing it.
haha good to see my old diff is going to very very good use...
This car looks killa tho, nice n clean look on the outside and a nice powerplant hiding under the hood. It will be good to see how it goes after the tune, with the work done it should be a qwik street car.
