So accidentally hit the edge of my plasti dip with my pressure washer, so peeled it all off. Went and bought sports armor for it. Sits quite nice.

Been quite a while since I've had time to get on here.. Had a think about doing the roof but ended up deciding not too. My mate has his wagon roof done and don't want it to be too similar. No updates with the car lately, changed jobs and just needed to settle in. Will look at getting...

What colour is your car? 20" wheels are fine, only if you buy cheap nasty wheels and tyres they could pop. Still more likely than 18" but low chance. And if you want your stock wheels black, try photoshop them black, or plasti dip, and if you like it, get them sandblasted and powdercoated

Silly question...but Was it sitting on flat ground? It doesn't take a lot of uneven ground to make it sit slightly one sided

How do you go with the cops and the plates up? Like the front bar though, looks nice. But not a fan of the hsv badge on the rear, just my personal opinion

My mate had a catback ss system put on his omega fitted for $120. Check gumtree and eBay mate.

Seeing as you can get ss or clubby/gts mufflers for under $100 a set. It's not worth your time modifying them.

I'm presuming you mean an sv6 ute. If so then yes the maloo mufflers will fit. But no, it has 2 outlets if I'm not mistaken, I can double check on the ute when I get home tonight

I think since this topic has been up, it would have been quicker to just empty the water in yours, and then fill it using a measuring jug or something. Too easy. If it were me, just a quick squirt would do though, as a windshield additive it's not going to be 100% critical..

Hey guys, considering upgrading my speaker system in my ssv wagon. Biggest issue for me is where to mount a sub... Quite often I lay the back seats down to go away and need the space, so having a big sub sitting in the back is out of the question. So has anyone got any suggestions where I...

Yeah mines done it a few times. No idea what it is. I just turn my car off and then back on and it all fixes.

Short answer yes. This is my ssv with side vinyl. It's slightly tucked in some places but not on all sides. So long as it's prep'd correctly and you sit it right, it'll work. But it will be more prone to lifting than if it were tucked.

Nice colour order mate. What about the green too? And did morpheous purple come in the gts too or only clubbys?

Nice mate, will be a better. @angry8... Well no idea how you're at 80mm on your ute with that set up as I'm at 110mm exact same set up on my wagon...with 20" wheels and an exhaust system too. But it's not kings fault if you scrape at 80mm haha

Looks nice mickkcim. But id be looking into doing the front shocks ASAP too. There stock ones are ok, but won't last too long with sssl's.

I thought it was closer to 30-33% for an auto and rear wheel drive. Manual rear wheel drive 25-27%. And then front wheel drive around 20%?

Definitely boot lip. It came out on the calais V. Looks great. And the calais is the luxury looking car, the smaller spoiler keeps it sleeker. That's my old calais

I have ebc reds on my ssv wagon. Would never go them again. They pull up great but are rough, and mine when breaking slowly like to squeal. So I asked the bloke and he said that's because they are a race brake and hard so they only like pulling up quick.

Grange is higher than senator mate. But yes it's sporty gts vs luxury. Kinda like ss vs calais.

What if the stig was in the wrx..?

I had never driven a manual before, and was going to buy my ssv manual until I came across a way cheaper auto. So good work anyway. Thoughts about a senator spoiler or anything? I like sedans without the big spoiler, but then it needs something there. If I were you id be finding out the 9k of...

Well the like who did my exhaust did that size for a daily cam too, which he thinks would put out just under 300rwkw. But suggested a charger over a cam if money allowed it.

Yeah I knew that one, that's not too hard. Just don't want to have to change the exhaust system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah at the moment I'm heading blower or cam. For a decent turbo it looks like more $$ and effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it orange or red? Be good to find out the mods done. Any future plans? Nice ride though nate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I honestly didn't think that many people ran turbos in there VE's. I only ever heard about chargers and the occasional turbo. Seems turbo is very very popular just from the replies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha yeah I didn't think there was this much in it. But straight forward it looks as if a 1 3/4" headers with 2.5" exhaust is too small for FI anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I agree. I'm going to end up with sports armor on there anyway. But it's mainly only removable because for when I sell it one day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah I don't want A permenant fix on there. Plastidip and vinyl are the only decals I've gone because they can be easily removed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pentagons will set it off perfectly!! What colour are you going with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that's done in plastidip satin black, he said they don't have a gloss black for plastidip :/ otherwise I was going to go gloss Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So if that removes charger option... Will turbo work with that set up? I won't bother changing my whole system for a charger. Otherwise if a turbo is out too..ill resort to a cam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2.5" exhaust and 1 3/4" headers with high flow cats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fuel system. I already have a full exhaust system and vcm otr. This was quoted by the bloke who installed my headers cats intake and did the dyno tune. And I think it was a 2300 harrop not 1900. I also have a mate who's brother has a contract with harrop in the US who might be able to get me...

Well quoted...it was 11k drive away for a harrop charger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I found that page just 5 minutes ago Sadly I'm not looking to spend that type of $$ at the moment, would prefer $11,000 on a charger. I've been told I could be set up for $6000-8000 for a turbo..? Or that would be a crap quality one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So cost wise of a single big turbo? Sorry if I'm missing a few comments, I'm doing some research into turbos because I don't know a lot about them, so don't follow the posts exactly yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I was more interested in sequential then. Just googling at the moment about turbos and set ups. First things first, need to our brembos on. But so far there is some very good persuasion for a turbo setup over a charger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ok, much to learn about turbos then. What's the difference between a single big turbo or a twin turbo set up? Would a twin just have a small turbo building up to the larger one? What's one worth to set up fully installed? Under 10k? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is auto, I should have mentioned that sorry. Only problem is it is a daily, and my mrs drives it too, so I'm thinking a turbo that only kicks higher would trouble that a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong. But. A charger is low/mid power and a turbo is high end power? For me I think low/mid is...
