[ViN3Y]

Model: 97 VS Clubby
Colour: pantha mica
Bodykit: Clubsport
Engine Type: 185Kw HSV injected V8 5.0L
Exhaust: HSV extractors into single cat into twin HSV mufflers into single pipe just after the diff to a single tip
Gearbox: Manual
Diff: unfortunatly a single kicker but that will change
Brakes: VT V8 brake upgrade
Suspension: super lows
Wheels/Tyres: 17" original tri spokes missing centercaps and also 18" speedys both came with the car with more then 80% tread
Interior: VS Clubby cloth interior with black rooflining
Stereo: alpine mini disk/stacker headunit, alpine 6" fronts, pioneer 6'9 rears, a6channel unknowen amp for speakers pioneer 1000w monoblock running the 12" type s sub
Build Period: 2 Weeks
Cost: $9000 purchase + 500 tint + 180 rooflining

this car came fairly standard as it came from the factory with two sets of mags a roadworth and twelve months rego racv check and a recent major sevice and new pads and rotars so i figure 9000 wasnt a bad pickup....
other than a fallen rooflining its in fairly good condition for its age and with it only just about to hit 170000 kms i think its still got a long way to go...

first things first when i get it i deffinatly need the rooflining and tint done and the exhaust and then she goes in for a new cam...
not sure wat cam yet thats to be decided on

if any1 has ne idea of how i can get hold of 4 original centercaps for my threespokers plz msg me....

[ViN3Y]

pictures will be up as soon as i ahve the car brought dwn to me as its currently in melbourne about 700kms away from me

[Wagon_Wheel]

Good luck finding 4 centre caps man, it will be cheaper to buy a whole new set of wheels with centre caps. Ive got 3 sets of the tri spoke wheels now, and i got a whole set with all centre caps and almost new tyres for $280, so keep your eyes open. Sometimes they go for a lot more though

[ViN3Y]

yeah i got some i was offered for 500
but i gotta travel to melbourne again to get them....
tis a fair drive..

[NickVR]

[Wagon_Wheel]

Very nice dude!!!!! Bet your stoked with it. Obviously needs a damn good wash. Keen to see what it looks like when its clean.

[Troy5L]

[ViN3Y]
