looks very nice m8, and its white too my fav colour lol i bet it goes quite well with the manual behind it

[HoldenMan7]

nice car mate, love it....

[Ripcell]

more pics... my camera went flat before i got to take some of it on its own so ill get onto that this week

[Wagon_Wheel]

Looks good dude, white always looks sweet, should go well with the T56 behind it

[HoZy]

very nice mate! good work

[Ripcell]

cheers guys, yeah it sure goes ok, once i get a bit of the loan under control and the credit card for insuring it, ill start tuning it, not gunna go too silly untill i decide if im going to sell my other vx or keep it as a daily, if i keep it ill work the ss a bit, if it becomes my daily ill have to keep it sensible.

i would have prefered black but it actually looks pretty good in white

cheers guys, ill have to bring it down to a jc meet in a few weeks

[Ripcell]

been a while since i updated, the girls had a trip to GM Motorsport today for an otrcai and a tune, pretty happy with the result, 231rwkw with stock headers on it, going to get extractors soon. its also got a different set of springs in the rear, havent got any photos of the springs, ill post them later

the dash has had a paint job, being the ex cop car, the guys who removed the police gear have made a mess of it, so thats been painted in hammer finish.

hsv pedals have gone in it and my pretty basic sound system from my other car

[johnvtls1]

how much better is it after the tune? didnt see u yesterday mate must have missed ya.

[Ripcell]

its bloody brilliant, much better response, hopefully going to do the extractors around christmas time.

i saw your car there, u dropped it off before i got there and it still was on the hoist when i picked up mine.

hows the exhaust on phonsys crewman, it makes jesus cry i reckon

the only prob ive got with it is the bonnet sits on the cai, it doesnt quite sit down completely, is yours like that?

[Wagon_Wheel]

I see rubber sprayed on your rear bar lol
Needs a lowering job badly, oh and lose the turtle shell!!
White still looks the best

yeh they took a while with mine but u can rush em i guess. dont think ive herd the exhaust but did u see the GTS coupe just sittin there? dunno wats it doing there its been there for months, bloody nice car but. Havent had to many issues with the CAI the bonnet closes fine. it is a fit of a tight squeeze but.

And yeh lose the turtle shell they trap in heat and stuff. didnt they take it off when they tuned it?

[QUOTE phonsy tells me your tightened up gearbox scared you last week [/QUOTE]

hahah yeh scared the **** outta me. i took it in to get my shift points done and told him yeh its not shiftin very hard etc. I come back and asked him how it went, hes said yeh take it for a drive. Turned off traction control, chucked it in power gave it some stick and went sideways on the 1-2nd gear change lol pretty scary stuff lol all fun but.

yeah it is ment to, been flushed before i got it. its getting serviced next week and getting a coolant flush, break fluid, clutch fluid, gearbox and diff oil change also. the clutch fluid is ferral and im hoping that its the cause of the clutch going funny after a hard launch or 2.

[Ripcell]

new springs

And yeh lose the turtle shell they trap in heat and stuff. didnt they take it off when they tuned it?

should i just remove it or be replacing it with a vy one or something, is it a problem to leave all the coil wiring exposed at all? ide rather run it without one at all, looks cooler

[johnvtls1]

im running without mine seems to be all good.

[Ripcell]

new rims, 19" VE supersports

[wrx884]

rims look nicer than the last set man mayb just lower the front a bit more?
