Got big plans for this thing, we'll see how it all pans out in accordance to $$$
Want to know everyone's opinion, performance especially - parts brands prices best stuff to do greatly appreciated



Also just picked up a HSV Cat back exhaust it was got a vx gts so pretty sure it should bolt up anyone have any ideas about how it'l sound ?
has only 1 resinator so its and upgrade from stock but then again obviously if the owner got rid of it it cant be all that great but for free so

ALSO just got offered a xu6 memcal, little FMIC, Stock E90 Supercharger with a 12 psi pulley attached for $500 wondering if worth it ?

Can't decide what to do next !

NathanVS - haha cheers mate, saw your vs .. looks sweet as on the monaro wheels, ever think of making them white or white walling them ?

Cheers dude! I saw a black vx calais for sale out in ocean grove the other day and almost died it was that good.... gonna go sus price this weekend lol.
I'd never paint my wheels white, but white walls maybe! I know nothing about it though... do I have to get new tyres?

[dzach23]

Nothing better then a dark blue car with blacked out headlights (Slightly Bias),
Looks genesis blue to me if so, I'll take the spoiler off Your hands seeing as you don't want it...

[ls1dreams]

NathanVS - nah, where i get my walls done is by a guy called dave evans and what he offers is a legal / illegal option of white walls (or any other colour or two colours), the legal option being that the paint is applied over the tyre bearing and load info so its still intact whereas the illegal version actual shaves off a mil or so of the tyre wall and paint is applied in the opposite direction - this allows for the paint to stay longer without flaking but can cause ridicule from police imo shaved is much better !

dzach23 HAHAAH Storm grey is the most gorgeous colour ever especially the black headlights !
i would give you the spoiler but its up for sale :P
a mate is offered me $60 for it !


$450 worth of goodies !

[nathanVY]

Hmmmmmmm maybe ill do some shops of white walls on my car. How much did it cost you for the legal one? How long does it stay on for?

[ls1dreams]

Mate of mine got double blue legal walls about a month and a half ago and he still has them !

[nathanVY]

Cheers man, will sus it. Not sure if it will look good on my car.

[walesy]

[nathanVY]

Cheers man, will sus it. Not sure if it will look good on my car.

[UPDATE]

So recently the radiator decided it didn't like me and also thought that it didn't like coolant so spat it everywhere doomed with a possible overheating car i went down to auto-cooling in Westall and replaced old for new with a big 35mm radiator that set me back $450 !
i know it's expensive but i got a warranty for 4 years and with any issue they're round the corner to fix it.. yet a day after i noted it was leaking took photos and got into it to have a look but i couldn't solve where it was coming from.. :@



couple of days later i found myself with another bar and plate A2A FMIC and a set of SSL springs in Lowered Pedders shocks from a mate you may know the blue VZ SV6 on Wrapped E2-E3 GTS' plates [CCRUZN] he's a good mate, so in turn picked up cheap for $145!

Also with the Full same colour respray / freshen up - i was quoted with a brand new font and rear bar front guards forward + bonnet and rear window back prepped and resprayed with the rest of the car / door handles cut and polish $1,700 from oakleigh panels - anyone know anyone better ?
