[Ignited-SV6]

Looks a lot different from when you bought it.

Is than an HSV boot?

[rx2_freak]

love the calais lights on the ss front and the hsv garnish looks tops also[did the same to mine]

just needs leather interior now

[paynetrainvy]

Hey mate love what you've done with the dash and the power windows in the rear got anymore pics of the dash ?

[milo]

Which part of the dash are you interested in the LED lighting or the Screen fabrication?

[paynetrainvy]

The fascia around the stereo am I right it looks like a VZ Calais with the exec air con controls ??

[DevilDRake]

Looks real good bud. How much power is it putting out? How much difference did the maffless do over the normal tune?

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

This looks insane compared to what it looked like stock. Great work man.

If u don't mind me asking how much did it cost for the front sensors and where did u get em done.

My front sensors on my caprice have died and I want to get them fixed or replaced.

Cheers
Dave.

I did the sensors myself, I do Auto Electronics for a living if your after a set of aftermarket sensors let me know i can hook you up

DevilDRake

Not sure its not Dynoed yet, i took it to eastern creek tonight the fastest i got was a 14.9 on street tyres, but the tune makes it come alive

paynetrainvy

yes it is a VZ Calais dash with low spec controls i made it myself, grafted the low spec controls onto the highspec dash with plastic weld ill see if i can find some photos of when i made it

[SweetWagon]

Shite you have been lurking for a few years!

Looks great with the SS front and Calais lights, did you have to delete the balance shaft when doing the double row timing chain? and who did the mafless tune?

Cheers

If you could that would be awesome I've been looking to do the same myself just trying to find a Calais donor dash that isn't $150.

I sure am interested man, I Alreaddy have front bar sensors but don't know why they don't work
I wouldn't mind replacing them if I have to & I might also get a reverse camera as I have the option in my headunit together at the same time.

Where bouts you located? Pm me and w'll discus from there.
Cheers
Dave.

You should get faster than that. That being said, I'll have the same except auto with 2700 stall + 3.7 gears.. Which would knock it down to low 14.

Why haven't you got it dynoed? It's like $50 lol

[milo]

The 3.46 gears are abit of a let down when it comes to the drags 3.7 or higher will be something that im looking forward to in the future

I also have tires that im sure were made from old PVC drain pipe, they are $75 cheapies lets just say they arent the most grippy things in the world

Hasnt been dynoed yet because i only finish getting it tuned a week ago :P

Dick did the tune on the car

[muzzz89]

Looks schmick mate!

[Impulse vz]

nice one mate

definitely needs some leather now and some black roof lining.

maybe an LED dash conversion too.

also maybe down the track powder coat the wheels black, black+red= sex! ( mate had a red vy ss with black 20's )

lol.

engine looking good to pal nice job

[one_and_only2004]

I really like that front SS bumper with the calais lights - good job.

[milo]

Forgot to post these

This is the with the cam in but untuned




And this is my LED dash Conversion (way before the cam work)



I do agree i need a black hoodlining and some leather just been holding out until i find something decent

[paynetrainvy]

I'd seen that dash video a while ago looks good mate how did you hook up the shift light ?

[GAMBLR]

Now that is an impressive conversion! Well done matey, something you've done and you can be proud of, looks tops. Very interesting boot lid, lip spoiler, HSV garnish and colour coded Exec garnish... wouldn't have thought it pulled it off so well but it does. And the Calais lights look horn!

[joshyewahh]

youv got a mad car there man. love the dedication to detail too that's be pulling close to 155-160rwkws now maybe?

How much should it cost me for a aftermarket setup ?

[milo]

Stuck the Car on the Dyno yesterday




Would have liked abit more power with all the mods done, but it was a hot day and really not happy with my new exhaust

[paynetrainvy]

Still mate not too bad. Got any new pics of the car or interior ?

[milo]

Afew new ones, i got stick of the boring hood lining so i retrimed it and all the pillar trims
