Overall the car is near perfect. It has 94 000k's on the clock with a full service history at Holden, been in Canberra its whole life. Purchased from retired couple - so more than likely never flogged. Really loving all the Berlina options as my last two cars were base model. Future mods will be carried out as money permits, though the stereo will be first as i have all the components, just need the fibreglass, carpet, mdf etc for the install.

All comments and suggestions welcomed!

very nice mate ive been waiting to see what car you were gonna buy, and it was a good choice keep the pics coming man.

[sweefu]

Cheers mate! Pretty happy with it, its weird as i have only ever had manuals before this but i am enjoying it for the moment. Once i'm getting bored hopefully i'll have the money for a shit kit and lsd :P

[supahot1!]

Thats a nice car. i would like to see what happens in the future.
if u dont mind sharing but how much did u get it for

[sweefu]

I don't mind at all mate, i paid $9000. Full service history at Holden, retired owner, all the good stuff all the options. Will need a new steering rack by the end of the year though, that is the only bad point.

[danieLOL]

nice clean berlina mate

dont paint the mudflaps white just take them off lol

[sweefu]

Haha yeah i was going to mate, though i get sick of shit always getting flung up the side of my car. i saw a monaro with the mudflaps painted body colour and thought it looked alright. Though more likely i will take them off with the intention to paint them and just keep them off haha.

[wamboin23]

car looks real good man. can't wait to see what you've got lined up for her.

woodgrain trim goes well...

[danieLOL]

lol i took mine off the day i got mine and havent noticed any marks yet

[sweefu]

Wamboin: Cheers mate, i really like it haha. Really keen for some more cash now so i can do a few things to it!

Danielol: Arent you getting crap flung up the side ? Or even a little haha i had no flaps on my vs and i got stuff up the rear bar a fair bit. dirt and stuff shows up bad on this car too because its white

[danieLOL]

yeah dirt, stop being lazy and wash it :P but yeahh i thought u meant like stone chips etc... i dont really know how clean it would stay with them on since i didnt give it a chance haha i dont mind looks better

[sweefu]

Yeah looks much better i'll agree haha. I'll prob take them off this week and see how it goes. I'll also try find a pic of the monaro lol.

its annoying as though when you just wash it and you drive thru a puddle :S haha

[D3CID3R]

Looks good mate, reckon the Vertini Hennesy will suit the ride aswell

[sweefu]

Thanks mate! I was really keen on the Vertini wheels though i will have to check with my insurance first, because i got full comp on it. So i'm not sure if it would change with VY SS wheels or not because they were a factory option? Have to see before i can decide on wheels, i'm keen o the keep the insurance as cheap as i can haha.

[sweefu]

Did two hole mod today .. went well, i quite like the induction sound. I am going on a highway trip tomorrow too so i will see if i can get something small like 0.2L/100km difference in fuel economy.

[D3CID3R]

two hole mod works well, around home have got it down to 11.4 or so.. highway 10's.. love it.. and the induction noise is awesome, noobs are alwayts asking, 'is that super charged' :P its a crack up when u out with mates and they come up and ask

show us a pic or 2 when u have time mate

[sweefu]

Will do mate i'll post up a pic tomorrow. On the highway i averaged about 9L/100km but will calculate properly later!
