This is when I had LEDs but the one underneath my right headlight started playing up after a month or so, so I took them both out
This is when I just took the spoiler off!
I bought the exhaust from impulsive, legend of a bloke, installed it for me and everything!
Here's a clip of what the exhaust sounded like on impulsive's blue sv6 (hope he doesn't mind), sounds the same on mine
Looks nice so far dude,
i see you had led's under your headlights before, i recommend you get DRL headlights like me, check em out on my thread they are awesome aye
Yeah I saw that! Very nice, you have one of the best looking sv6s going around IMOI'm kind of torn, part of me wants to stop spending money on it and save up for an SSV but it's so tempting to keep doing stuff to it
Haha cheers dude,
Yeah sometime in the near i'd love a v8 but theres plenty of time for that later plus i love my car now and yes it's addictive once you do things here and there
Oh P.S lose the mudflaps
yeah i would remove the muddies except that I live at the backarse of nowhere and i sometimes have to drive on crap roads lol
haha true
Any plans on dropping it or the roads to much of a hassle?
no chance mate but the plan is over the next couple of years to get a house at gladstone/bundy with a nice clean SSV (exhaust, rims, lowered, tune etc) while I keep the red rocket here while I work
Have no idea where that is but sounds like a sweet as plan to me!
i currently live in the middle of about 20 coal mines
Haha i see...
How's the sound system in your car? Subs look sweet
it's pretty bangin, i was standing out the front of a mates place one night after drinking and my girlfriend came to pick me up in my car, i heard it coming from at least 300m away and it was nowhere near as loud as it could be
Haha true, reminds me of mine
Yes would love to hear what yours sounds like hey! Did you get any gains from it?
definitely gains up top, i remember initially thinking if anything it lost a little down low though but i think it's pretty well the same down low, took a while for my gearbox to get use to it though, it was as though i had power mode on for the first couple of days when i didn't lol
Yes i have the same issue with the 'loss down low' i think because the standard exhaust is 2 1/4? so changing it to 2 1/2 inch might of caused it?
But i'm no expert lol
0-100 vids, lost traction at the start cos it was a cold night. Didn't realise my phone cut off the last 1-2 seconds of each vid
It says the Videos are Private mate
Nice haha,
Get a video of your exhaust outside
I'll try to get a couple tomorrow
Thinking of painting front holden badge red, thoughts?
Alloytec Racing
Hahaha just found this.. love your exhaust mate!
Life starts at 200km/h
<-- Holden Towing Ford.
this is my exhaust note on my SV6.... phone quality so it sounds pretty average. but u get a basic idea. btw thats cold start idle. not normal idle.
If you want to hear it properly i'll hunt down a decent camera. and leave it recording for cold start and to warm idle. and a rev. maybe a driveby if i can be bothered.
btw... my 3rd exhaust. lmao oh and i've broken it 3 times as well...
Oh and clean looking SV6 bro. ignore the dam v8 boys till you can afford and mod to the shit a v8.
