Awesome VY SS man. Those wheels and that ride height are spot on. I absolutely love the car! And you should be a photograher for Holden, those pics are incredibly nice

Like I've said on another thread - that is one sexy SS!

I was gonna get those exact same style of rims, but now I don't want my car to look exactly like yours!

Can I ask where you got the engine rocker covers? What are they called? Are they a genuine Holden part? I've heard they make the engine run cooler than the standard one yeah?

thanks for the cool comments guys ..

You can get them in 18 x 8 or 18 x 9 ...

you can also get my same rims with gloss black centres with chrome lip.. something a little diff from mine!.. i reckon they'd look mint colour coded to whatever colour your car is!

got the split engine covers from perf place here in Perth although theyre genuine holden hsv covers so ive been told.. like VZ ones.. and yeah always take of the turtle shell traps heat and ya get bad heatsoak.. dont like losing timing that way lol.. also the OTR cai sure does cool the intake, tb and manifold while driving.. get home feel all 3 theyre freezing or not far from it lol

I noticed your engine says 'AlloyTech'. I was told that the AlloyTech engine didn't come out untill the VZ's. Have I been missled?

Cheers.

Still no answer. Anyone that knows the answer to this can let me know i don't mind.

Did all VYs only have EcoTech engine and no change to AlloyTech untill VZs ?

It doesn't say Alloytech, just Alloy as it is an alloy V8.

The AlloyTech V6 came out in the VZ which is the name given to the family of engines, namely because they changed to an alloy block from the previous cast iron buick V6 block.
