Looks immaculate mate. Did you do the 6speed conversion yourself?

You'll need to cover do something about those holes in the boot where the factory wing was placed!

[GTS-Replica]

Looks awsome the 1st and 3rd shots are MAD.

[Sphinx]

[HERONVY]

[Lumps of cheese]

Love your work, nice conversion.

[BookMe]

This look absolutely stunning. So similar to mine as well (manual, cammed, etc)
Would be good to see how much power it makes.

Where abouts is Narre Warren? That in VIC?
Just wondering cause my local car club is going to WSID mid January.

Yeah i need to get around to having the boot filled and repainted.

I did the conversion on 4 jack stands at home with the help of two mates. It took two days start to finish including removing the auto.

[grantlyy]

Thanks everyone, its taken a while but i think its just about finished now..
future plans a set of coilovers and possibly sunroof but i dunno.

Yeah Narre Warren is in Vic, im guessing anywhere between 260-280rwkw.. its still go the stock heads so i imagine it will be holding it back a lot.

looks niceee mate. whered you get the white maplight globes from?

i havent changed the maplight globes from the standard off white coloured ones that came fitted with it. i just changed all the led's in the cluster and climate and switches.

Who will you use to tune it?

[grantlyy]

Who will you use to tune it?

At the moment its tuned remotely with a EFI Live Autocal from OZtrack but im not happy with the current tune in it.

I'm Leaning towards LSX Garage, i had a chat to brett there and hes very helpful, and he had done some great work on tuning my mates stock cammed vy ss.

[pazzogen3]

Yeah hearing good things about Lsx garage, i'm in Narre aswell and looking for a tuner. Might see you around.

[grantlyy]

Ah nice! what mods are done to your ute so far?
i was either going to go to APS or LSX Garage as i have heard good things about both of them.
I'd suggest against getting a remote tune though, no matter how many times it gets adjusted it still runs like a pig.
it idles like it has a monster cam in it :S

[pazzogen3]

Only thing is Genie tri ys, stock cats which i want to replace, twin 2 1/2 cat back no rear resi. thats it. Just don't know if i want Maf or Mafless. There cam package is very affordable aswell.

[m1lky]

Hell that's nice. The white and blue dash looks awesome. I really need to get rid of the green on mine.

Either is pretty much the same these days, i always go mafless because of the otrcai i have but if you have an intake that supports the maf then its not a huge difference either way.

[pazzogen3]

Cheers buddy.

[Blazum]

how did you change the bulbs in all of your interior lights? did you find a guide somewhere?

[hardstyle_22]

now that's a car! beautifully done in good taste. well done.

[nathanVY]

Very very nice, Cream interior that I don't mind. What Head Unit have you got in there? any chance of some more pics of that?
