DrZ's VXII Clubby R8

[DrZ]

Well this baby certainly isnt even Summernats worth or even MV :'(

Not yet anyway.. Got a quote from my good friend NAAF for a set of 1 7/8" primaries and 200cpi cats to finish of my exhaust.. So that will be on the cards next.. then will be tossing up either:

a) Getting my rims prof fixed
OR
b) 3.9 diff gears
OR
c) hi-stall

Ideas?

[DrZ]

and yes a cam is on the cards, just setting it up first..

Or you could buy my car

[DrZ]

If you had either b) or c) and had finished off (started) your zorst then maybe................ But nah, I love my Clubby, couldnt trade it in for a SS.. :P Thatd be downgrading :P

Nah man, thats your baby, same as Sweeneys, thats his baby. I couldnt take care of it, an starts changing it to be mine.. I wouldnt feel right about it.. If i didnt know you guys personally or watch (read) it grow up, then possibly.. But yeah... Sorry....

Or you could buy my car

[GEN3RATD]

It's got a bit more then that but ok

Alriiiiight... Small update.

I now have new rubber on all round.. Unfortunately some twat thought it would be cool to slash my tyres after he couldnt break into my house to steal my keys.. F$%KING AR$EH@L3....

But either way, got some new stuff which is probably good anyhow, as I had rear wires showing after a few... heated discussions with the tarmac... I also have new DBA 4000 series rotors all round and some HPX pads all round thanks to GSL Rallysport.. Fitted them all back here in Perth obviously.. Lol... And they work PERFECTLY! Couldnt be happier, still a lil squeaks here an there as they finish off bedding in but thatll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...

In addition to why I am posting an update.. Kiki passed on a present to me.. 8 free proffessional shots from a company called 'Sly Photography' for free... Coz I guess she is just plain awesome.. Sooo.... Hopefully watch this space over the next couple of weeks, might get some nice shots of my ride up here for once... Still havent sorted out that lil bump I had with the keep left sign, but a free shoot is a free shoot, an I wont say no to that...!

Also now that I got some fairly decent brakes I dont want to ruin them by rippin stand stills an stuff.. Soo.... To stop that I think I may just have to get some line lockers ;-) that way I can keep my dirty habbit and wont need new brakes so often :-D Haha.. Not that I rip 'em that often.. Its just more of a 'peace of mind' sort of thing.. haha..

Also I have been looking and looooking into cam specs.. an doing alot of research.. and I am thinking I may have found the cam I want to make this a fairly tough as nails streeter, while still keeping it.. streetable.. XD

Will be posting pictures as soon as I get em, but the shoot is looking like itll be a fortnight off, just because of my work.. But ohwell

Happy cruising.

- Hope to hear from all the usuals soon :P

hey mate progress is looking good !

cant wait to see these pro shots, i got one coming up in september but thats very top secret atm :P hehe alotta eye candy involved

i havnt even check but does your clubby have the premium brakes on it ? i know with my clubby stand stills are impossible, the bastards grab too hard haha

dont you hate thieving little ####s ! man spewing about the tyre slashing ... woulda been nice to catch the prick in the act, slash the bastards throat i say !

[DrZ]

^Yeah I can imagine I woulda done the same if I found him.

Ahh No, No premium upgrade, however it does have ALOT better brakes then the VX SS as std and then ive spent enough to make them grab bulk loads better, and havent tried a stand still since then. Previously, I could do a complete stand still, but it preffered to creep over standing still.. have only done a few lil spins, no smoke show since I got it dropped on its arse.. and got the new discs and pads (from GSL Rallysport).. but the spins where only very small, done in a servo for my mates pleasure while he was stuck working behind the counter, its an underground servo, so kinda win.. but servo none the less, hence..... teeeny tiny spin.. haha

How much did it cost for ur new front bumper an respray... I need one done soon.. haha

[DrZ]

Also Pro shooot will be done soon, been to busy with my rental an other BS lately to organise a date and time with the dude...

[1SIKR8]

should get the premium brakes :P now they do pull you up bloody quick !

well i didnt only get the front bar done i got the radiator support panel welded up and re sprayed, the radiator, condensor etc etc painted black, inner plastic guards replaced, bonet lining replaced .. i think thats it and it costed me $1300 painted and fitted

the front bar was sent for melbourne and costed me $1100 but it was a reco bar ... absalutly nothing wrong with it hey look on ebay the front bar going for $888, thats the one i got and yea theres nothing wrong with them hey

oh its only a dude in the shoot :P

oh as for up above, i tick all the sujestions lol

3:9 gears = win

high stall = total win ( id also look into getting the auto strengthened down the track )

rims resprayed = shiiiit yea ! but do it last :P

[1SIKR8]

i just noticed that you friggen copied me ! haha btw IM LOWER !
