[R Photon]

looks sweet man...i would probably look into lowering it before i started anything else...good luck with it

[Rishy]

Thanx man, yeah thats sumfin ill look into.

[R Photon]

as for the grunt side of things how much power are you after..

you should definitely start off with the typical mods..
2 1/2 inch exhaust with extractors
cold air intake
good plugs and leads
etc.

[NickVR]

One way to tell if it's series 2 is if it has clear rear taillight indicators. series one had orange, series two had clear. an exhaust can definately help with the power side of things. nice car mate.

[Rishy]

thanx for the info, then its a series 1.

[wes_v8]

[kniever]

[Rishy]

Hey guys and girls, i have some updated pics of my car. i have now installed monaro taillights and the vx garnish, as well as a few other little things.

[Rishy]

Hey everyone.

Its been almost a year since i have updated this thread. Havent done anything new to my car and I have decided not to do any more as I am now saving to purchase my next car which I'm aiming to get around june next year. Ill be off my p's by that stage so I am thinkin about getting a VX SS, VT SS, VS Clubbie or a VS Stato/caprice.

Here is a link to see all my good pics of my car.

Anyone want a VT?? I want a vqII caprice.

[hsvpunk]

dont get a VQ. lol. go a newer model.. vx ss would be sweet. mmmm Gen3
Although a Vs Stato is good too (looks to his own car)
Car looks good scotty. Vs clubby is also good option aswell...... Go a VX clubby sex on wheels.
Cheers Marc.

[Rishy]

Yeah I got off the vq thought. Hmm I think I just keep saving my penny's and see where I am in a couple months. Im planning on getting a zorst in the next few weeks, so that will keep me happy for while. Then i'll add 2 more cylinders.

Love your car mate!

Hows work going? Worked 2days so far this week, and done overtime both days. Over that. Oh well I qualify in march so yay pay rise

[hsvpunk]

hehe Which bakery u work at?
Mine is going ok... just did spark plugs this weekend, oil the week before.

I worked friday for 15mins, then went home sick, had sat n sunday off sick, went to work monday for 7hours, then went home. and Tues Wednes are my days off. But im on a set wage. so i only do like 7-7.5hrs per day, but get payed for 40hours each week. and pay rise should happen when my bosses new store opens in Feb...woo hoo,

[Rishy]

I work at bakers delight in lilydale. and sometimes my bosses other store kilsyth.

I did coolant last Thursday in mine and new front tyres Friday. Im looking at gettin an exhaust done in a couple weeks, then pads, plugs and leads after that. Then I can start saving for its replacment.

edit: also did 25 minutes overtime again today.

[hsvpunk]

go the overtime. U always on starts? i start at 1am everyday.
Im at carrum downs Brumbys
Yeah exhaust i gota do mine hardcore... when i picke dup my rig when i bought her, it jsut got the whole exhuast replaced, so my dad is like "no ned to change it until its dead, its brand new" which is fair point. As soon as Xmas is over, exhaust n extractors and new wheels for EasterNats.

[Rishy]

I start everday cept sunday, then i get a late start, 3am, so i do the ovens. Which is okay, cos Im awesome at them. (no really i am)

[hsvpunk]

hehe ovesn is fun as. When i first started baking i did them all the time, and i was 2nd best ovens man in my workplace.. out of like 8 diff bakers including owners.
But then i jsut do bowl now. I miss the oven. its just a bludge.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Hahaha wow another baker..... thats wierd
Still after a 5ltr?

[Rishy]

Yeah still after a 5ltr,but if i havent got one wen i get off my p's(start of march) then ill include gen3's. Im goin to just save for a while, but I check carsales nearly everyday to see whats up for sale. I havent driven a 5 litre yet, only my bosses cv8z and his ssz crewy. Had a massive grin on my face when i had drive monaro home cos he got to spastic at footy trainin one night, i was complainin.

Absolutely love your car mate. Yours has to be one of the best sounding v8's out there.

[Rishy]

Well after 18 months I finally got my car booked in to get the exhaust done, gettin the usual catback 2.5" redback with a dual tip.

[Haydz]

nice mate. not a fan of the color but it looks mint.

[Rishy]

Cheers mate. Yeah it is an odd colour. Yours looks good mate.
