Thanks for the comments guys. car drives really really well and i havent even take the thing over 3 grand yet lol. not sure on wheels atm probably gonna keep it like this for a while until i pay the bank as i still owe like 3 grand or somthing. but it really does need to me dumped. i might do that in the next few months. just depends on how i go with money really.

Looks tops mate. Seen this a few times on carsales.

Auto or manual ? Good pick up !

[johnvtls1]

nah just the auto but is got a freshly recoed box. the shifts are really firm. manual would have been fun but im lazy lol

[minux]

Nice ride bud. Regarding the auto, the reco box has nothing to do with shifts. That has to do with the tune

Shifts can be altered with internals you know mate You young whipper snappers these days with your fancy tunes........

[johnvtls1]

yeh as far as i know its not tuned. the bloke told me its compleatly stock. its just mainly 1st-2nd a lot more firm then the other gears. i might ask him about it

[minux]

They can be, but ultimately line pressures etc which effect the shifts are adjusted via the tune, shift points etc are also only adjusted via the tune, why would someone use a reco box,then trick it up a little when you don't have too?

dude, is it tuned or isn't it? Your first post of the thread says "LS1 Edit" which is the tuning software used to edit the pcm.

LMAO, stupid me read it as a current mod not as a future mod.

[johnvtls1]

yeh tunes a future mod mate. hoping for within the next few months

[Archers]

Why dont you give site sponsor enhanced a call. At least get yourself a mail order. Will at least you give some real power and fuel economy over what it is now!!

yeh i was thinking that but the way i see it instead of spending 500 bucks and getting a mail order one done i might as well just save for a few more weeks and get the real thing. fuel enonomy hasnt been that great actully so its a possibility.

agree vx garnish body kit looks great now and rims look awesome

[johnvtls1]

bahaha orange walls rather funny. i wasnt a fan of the rims either but they grew on my. they look good in real life. i dont wanna go rediculiously lowmaybe just a little tyre tuck at the back and no gap at the front. wat springs would u recomend?? ill look in the garnish boys thanks for the advice.
