    In regards to the SS headlights, I am not 100% on the price. But because they are not a projector light or anything I would expect anything more than $400 for the pair...

    Are you in syd? if so I know a place that sells original holden stuff for cheap, new but they like a bit of cash cash if you know what i mean...

    Notice a difference with your exhaust?

    Very nice, apart from the dinner plates, looks like someone's mum is going to be cranky when she discovers someone's raided her crockery collection haha.....

    yeah im in syd.. drop a pm or something

    noticed a pretty decent increase in low end torque, and the acceleration feels more linear throughout the revs, very happy with it.

    Govz - lol thanks and yeh they came with the car! soon as i can **** em off to my mate i'll be getting a nicer set.

    ay mate... havent been on the forums in ages! been busy lookin for a new job and missus takes up the remainder of my time haha.

    buying an SS front bar next week, still got the rims haha.. havent really had time to seriously try and sell em - infact i was gonna sell the whole car bout a month ago but thought against it - ill never find something so good for the price i paid for it.

    plan is to;

    - tap out my guards, throw some 20's all round, lower more

    - fix any dents or scratches on the body

    - SS headlights

    - roller rockers, plenum spacer and throttle body

    - clutch and brake kit

    - sound system

    and further into the future lies a retrim.

    Hows ur car doin?

    Finally, my car sporting some 20" Jet league F-22's.




    Also changed spark plugs to NGK Iridiums to solve my starting issue.

    HSV bar should be here next week and next pay will go towards some headlights (be it SS or Black altezza) with HID kit.

    The rear should be getting lowered soon also.

    front bar looks wicked champ.

    good thing is that you could go either way for the altezza headlights... clear or black would look mint....

    helpful tips:

    do not under any circumstance leave the keys to a mate with the intention of him using the keys JUST for the heater while he awaits your return.

    pics to come after i go to the yard on monday. in the mean time - here's a souvenir i picked up from the scene.
