spoiler is now off looks a ton better
Looks good dude
thanks man, as a 19yr old p plater im pretty stoked![]()
nice ride buddy, must have a bit of coin put away for all those mods your thinking of doing.
Look forward to seeing the finished product![]()
haha i forgot to say its got 69,000kms and i picked it up for 11k.
ive got 10k saved for mods and ive also got 6 weeks of payed leave ahead of me haha, so the build should move quickly
can anyone recommend me some decent looking 20s?
im looking at Zenetti Kaotiks in black, i personally love them
Dude nice pick up i love vx ss's man owning one myself but mint ride dude cant wait to see wat you do with her
wheel gap is like a vagina the more fingers you can get in the worse it is
Built not Brought
and
Driven not Garaged
yeah man im in love. coming from a owning a ford haha.
the old man was a strict ford man, had a BA XR6 turbo ute he loved with a passion.
then all of a sudden i came home from work and a VUII Maloo was sitting on my front lawn lol.
ever since then ive wanted an LS1, and i picked this one up cheap.
only thing is i know #### all about them, i know an exhaust/OTR/tune/cam is a good start though? then 3.9 diff gears?
Yeah mate that is a good place to start and no2 is a good bang for buck mods a standard ls1 bottom end can handle a 100-150hp shot of nitrous without a drama

yeah thats it haha.
prioritys now are some tint and private plates to tidy it up a bit, should be happening this week.
after christmas im going to order some 20 inch zenetti kaotiks in black and some superlows/shocks, should look horn.
then get to work on the exhaust, right now it sounds like a family sedan, not a V8![]()
can someone recommend me a decent exhaust for an LS1?
most of my mates say "you should have got a 5ltr if you want a decent sounding V8 blah blah blah"
im just after an exhaust that sounds tough as nails, deep and throaty, doesnt have to be loud
I have HM Headers 4 into 1's and a 2 1/2" twin system dude and it sounds pretty good if u want we can meet up some time and u can see wat u think it sounds like

do you mind informing me how much you payed for the lot?
you can pm me if you want
Enjoying a service today, having trouble with starting, think it's the battery
still undecided on whether to get 19s or 20s :/
my private plates were takenanyone got any ideas?
im thinking KICKNIT
love the car man 11k dam just makes me want a vx ss more.....theres one for sale on our street thats black with that same red leather interior and its manual (hard to find) going for $13400 should I least consider it?
yeah 11k, i bought it off an old south african couple that had owned it since knew. it was her car as well :P
in the last 2 1/2 years it had done 4000kms lol.
honest opinion if you want to hear it lol
i wasnt going to get a vx ss, my dad convinced me that a vy ss would be a better purchase, but i always liked the look of a vx ss that was on my street, red dumped on black 19s with no spoiler. i wanted a black one though because they look tougher haha. when this came up i went at viewed it as early as i could, and bought it within 5 minutes of looking at it.
at the end of the day im sure your parents have told you owning a car is a responsibilty and blah blah blah but at the end of the day its your money, and i sure as hell wouldnt spend my money on a car i didnt want. for ages i wanted a XR6 turbo but then i decided agaisnt it because well, id always say to myself why the hell didnt i get an 8 haha. buy what makes you happy, but beware that insurance companies wont touch you.
4000ks! jesus. heres the thing if i get the s pack im going to have little thing in my head thats gonna keeping saying why didnt u get the ss? thats what im worried about love ur vx cant stop looking at itim gonna talk to my neighbour tommorow and see what he can give me better deal (its done 97000ks on the clock) it bugging me coz i start drving next month
is it manual? auto?
does it look like its been looked after?
they are all factors
you wont regret getting one with the red leather though i love it
just remember an 8 will end up being an expensive outlay and you have to be prepared to pay it
KICKNIT ! haha exactly the plates i want
Loves it
