    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Nah haven't got number plates, not sure if it's worth it :cool: I've considered it a little bit but i do prefer the stock look. I find a lot of the double din head units just look out of place, and less chance of some prick trying to steal it if it's stock! ;)

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Not a heap has been happening, been trying to save some money haha. I recently sent my stereo off to phreddy to get an AUX added to it so i can play music from something other than the 6 stacker cd player, just waiting for it to arrive back in the mail. Although i do love my rims i've also...

    haha yeah, haven't really got around to it hey. Going to Hawaii in a few days so it'll have to wait. Here is a sweet clip of my exhaust note though! https://youtu.be/44dP8TQN_vM
  4. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Yeah, the exhaust note has changed a bit, 1) because you can hear it down the right hand side more, and 2) i think it sounds a bit different because of how the right hand tips are made. It's just a simple "Y" piece so it has changed the note slightly because of how they made it. Would probably...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I managed to take a couple of photos of it today once it stopped raining, some are a tad blurry as it's not the easiest thing to take a photo of haha, and yes i've already lost the exhaust hanger from the right hand side. I might need to cable tie it on when i get a replacement one!
  6. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I'll try and take a photo tomorrow, but like most quad tip conversions it isn't super pretty, the Y pieces aren't what you would call aesthetically pleasing, but it's not like they need to flow evenly either. Have you photoshoped up any mock ups with the rear diffuser in between the exhaust...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Just a small update. Finished off the rear bar and had it painted all gloss black and then had my exhaust modifed to suit :D
  8. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I've tossed between the two for a while, all gloss black would look good, but then matte black in the middle makes it looks a little bit more genuine. It's still a while away before it gets done, the rear bar that i bought had a cut out for a tow bar which i also had to weld up and it been a...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I installed a catch can tonight. Pretty straight forward job, except the bracket that you're supposed to use for the LS2 didn't end up getting used. It's supposed to sit the can right behind the thermo fan but because i have an OTR and the radiator has been leant back i had to use the LS1...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Probably not at this stage. I've spent so much time trying to get everything nice and perfect (still a bit more to do) i just can't bring myself to now drill holes in it haha. I do have a spare set of sensors though if i choose to do it later on.

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    So after a couple of months working on it here and there when i had time, it's nearly finished :D

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I just found out that this is available too :yeah: Not sure if it's worth $200 a year though!

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Cheers man. I always try to take the photos just as the sun is setting, makes the paint look the best :D Black for a few days, then it's black and dirty for the rest of the week haha. Damn black, it's a love/hate thing! Hmm, a one off fee doesn't sound too bad actually. I'd probably avoid SVZ...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    My rims finally arrived after a three month wait, pretty stoked at how they look. Also had all the struts, shocks and springs replaced on the car and it now sitting on kings super lows. Not too low that it scrapes on everything but just enough to look a bit better :) Plastidipped my badges and...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Been a while since i've done an update. Not a lot has changed on the car as of late, just had a full service done and replace all the front end bushes as they were all original and completely flogged out, and now i'll need some new struts too! I've got some 20" matte black rims on order that...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Cheers, nice man. Yeah i was pretty happy with the results, the tuner said it came mostly down to the free flowing exhaust. Inbox has been cleaned for you :) Thanks, You were pretty close with your original guess as to what the tuner was expecting. He said i'd be looking at around 245rwkw...
  19. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Pretty happy with the results. Made 234rwkw with a full exhaust and then gained another 23rwkw with OTR and a tune :)
  20. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Yeah, i'm not too fussed. I think the gains are the important part. I looked at getting a cam, but then having to do lifters, converter and diff was a bit much for now. Maybe in a year or two when i get an itch for more power :)
  21. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Well the time has come, finally getting an OTR and tune done this friday night. Not sure what figures it might pull, but i will be happy if it gets over 250rwkw. Not the end of the world if it doesn't!
  22. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    That'd be awesome. I'm hoping to get it done pretty soon. How often are they available to do it?

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    I'm not sure if i can justify the cost :P Well i solved my electric window problem today. Took off the door card and discovered i had forgotten to reconnect the wires to the switch last time i had it off. Rookie mistake :doh:
  24. mark_1000

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Yeah i like the look of the silver wheels too haha. I just thought i'd try black out to see how it looks for a little while, and plus the plastidip helps hide some of the gutter rash til i get them fixed up nice. I've already noticed one of two spot where the plastidip isnt perfect so i don't...

    Mark's 2005 VZ Clubsport

    Yeah that's what i figured. I've had a look at Morpowa and Wilall, but i've heard mixed opinions about both. I checked out Enhanced Automotive yesterday too and will probably look at KPM at somepoint too.

    Ok so it's been a while since i bothered to update this thread. I think since the last time i've dynamatted all my doors inside and out along with the boot lid to stop any rattles and improve the sound quality a little bit. I didn't take any photos of it being done or the finished product...

    VZ SS Slutbag

    Such a tidy daily drive man. Love it. I wish my VZ Clubsport rims were as nice as yours, mine are really badly rashed from the previous owner, but it's kind of a low priority to get them fixed.

    Used door card

    It's all held on by screws, no push in clips at all. 7 screws around the outside, 2 for the door handle (one to remove the handle, one for the plastic support behind the handle), and one behind the door lock.

    You can replace the speaker cover, it does come off the door card.

    This is the exact reason why i have a dash cam too. Feel sorry for your car man, just the crunch sounded bad :/ I guess look on the bright side that no one got hurt.

    Just an update, not a lot has been happening with the car. Just fiddling with interior lighting and the stereo a little bit to get things just right. Took the car on some dirt roads over Xmas and had it looking like a bush pig for a few days, but since then i have finally got my front bar...

    VZ Clubsport front bar respray advice

    Yeah i want a good job, but in terms of reputation, it's really hard to find a place that i've heard more than just one good thing about. There isn't really a stand out place at the moment, hopefully something pops up soon.

    VZ Clubsport front bar respray advice

    Hey, thanks. Yeah it didn't seem like he was too interested in taking on the job, especially when he started rambling on about headlights from a SSZ :hmmm: I'm just going to bite the bullet and take it somewhere where i've been quoted a reasonable price and hope they do a good job and take...
