Hope you like it.

That car is beautiful mate, its a real killer! That colour is absolutely mint, great combo with the scissor doors too.
Just a question, why did you get an 85 mil throttle body? Wouldn't 65 go down better, or does the extra 2 cylinders warrant the bigger tb?
Good job with the car again.

[Aussiecv8]

Thanks mate. The 85mm works better with the manifold I have, but you can go up to 102mm if you wanted. More air = more power.

[Seanyy]

True, but i suppose if it's high-end torque you want, the requirement for air increases.
An innocent, safe-driving P-plater like me would never want a modification that increases high-end torque...
Just low-end .

[Aussiecv8]

It works pretty good at the bottom end as well.

Very nice, good use of that colour! Got any pics of the ASR dash?

[Big_Simmo]

Looks pretty damn good mate

Love the colour, not too keen on Lambo doors for anything other than a Lambo but I can certainly see the appeal for those tight car park situations

[beauzo]

Awesome car mate, Looks great in that colour too.
Monaro's are sex

Thanks mate, you did a good job on the dash mod. Still a little bright for my liking, but I'll live.

[Aussiecv8]

Here's a teaser for the engine bay, but its still a work in progress. Interior is pretty much stock, nice and simple....

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Pure sex on wheels that car is. Looks beautiful.
Awesome job.

[Aussiecv8]

Thanks mate, glad you like it. I'm happy with the paint job, as I havent sprayed a lot in 2pak, but the colour came out better than I'd hoped

[Mirkz]

definitely a great lookin machine dude, you've done well with it so far.

[Aussiecv8]

Thanks mate, your ride doesnt look to bad either. Álways liked the clean look of a white VT

[Aussiecv8]

Finally got the cam installed. Went comp cams 228/ 230 and made 350hp at the wheels, which I'm happy with.

[Aussiecv8]

Had to replace the stereo recently as the old one died. Got one of those DVD, GPS everything jobies and I gotta say they work great.

The exchange rate makes fitting FI a tempting idea. Anyone imported one from the US recently? Magnacharger has one for around 7K with tune and everythng needed.
