Skyracer's VS II Berlina Project

Picked this up 2 or so years ago for $6,200

Had 159,000 K's on it and drove like a dream and still does.

Stock in everyway when I got it and stayed stock till the start of 2009 when I said to myself "2009 is the year of my car"

Time to turn this thing into a beast

Looks nice mate. The wheels suit it really well.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Nice dude. Noticable amount of lope, but i reckon once its had a full dyno tune itll smooth a lot of that out.
Sounds like a little toy hehe
Hurry up and lower it though man!

[skyracer]

UPDATE!

Been a while but yeah I'm still around...

Things slowed down for a bit after my job went under from the crysis >.< But starting to pick up again now. No where near as much work has been done as I would have liked by this time but non the less still enough for an update I guess.

Still no full exhaust yet >.< But the car has been tuned the 15L/100km was annoying me now back down to 9L/100

Radiator cracked wide open and dropped its load all over the freeway >.< Car was out of action for awhile till I fixed it. Replaced it with a beasty all alloy radiator that is like twice the size of a standard one. Didn't want to put another standard plastic shit one in there after it just cracked open like that.

Got it off ebay for $350 and I feel it's money well spent! The temp needle hardly even moves from cold while cruising, also noticed a very slight gain in power and fuel economy that was unexpected from a radiator change...

BODY KIT! haha Picked up a genuine Senator kit. Needs to be resprayed though, will be doing this in the near future. I reckon it looks tops though

Re trimmed my roof lining with black fake fur haha it feels so nice to touch and looks awesome. Pimped much?
