Pm'd ya. :P

Cool. Now you've got a cool boat anchor!

Cheers, one thing that I'll be looking into down the track is a new bonnet. I'll have to put a hole in one as the new motor wont clear it.

Yeah, I don't mind it. It may look a little better with a smooth gloss or semi gloss finish how ever.

With nothing in my car at all, It sits right on the legal limit. No way it will be legal with a a sub + 2 passengers. But, this is the risk you take when modifying cars. As soon as you fit an aftermarket exhaust, its ilegal. Heck making use of the sub is technically illegal. So where do you...

That 173 sure did a number on the gearbox :P

Cheers mate. Not a fan of the VZ flutes, Its a VY not a VZ (yes I'm pedantic). Also not a fan of debadged cars :D, I appreciate the input none the less. I do agree about the tint though, the rear window has bubbled. So I think thats a pretty good excuse. I've just got to find someone local...

You wont have any trouble. But i can almost guarantee you it isnt strictly speaking legal.

Cheers mate. But who told you "Mintest" was a word?? :p

If you're paying to have someone swap springs onto old shocks you're a clown. The only time its worthwhile using old shock is if you're doing the job yourself.

It'd look sick alright, :D. Cheers mate. Hama - Ride is ace bud. Not an issue what so ever. Its a little firmer then standard but its not as sloppy.

Cheers mate. I've always thought the VY/VZ looked like more of a muscle car over the VT/VX.

Got me stuffed how people think SL's are legal. As soon as you put your lunch in the back its illegal, but you modify cars with the knowleage that somethings will get frowned apon. As for the struts, I've got SL's on FE2 struts and shocks. Ride is the same as it was prior to fitting the SL's...

More commonly known as 2nd gear...

Its the front door. Its odd, you can't see it in person but the Camera shows it up. Car got hit in that side, front door and guard have been replaced (60km/h impact) Whole side was painted, I'd say its how the metalic flake in the pain has settled in the front door, if you look at the front...

Its because they're two seperate parts, and it meant that they could have all the bars sprayed else where and just have the insert fitted as they were going on the car. All dollars and cents my friend. I don't know If I would go gloss black or Quicksilver to match the bar.

We just did it by hand with some elcheapo polish from woolies. Used some of Bubba's arse wraps to do it. Hama, I've considered getting the HSV gauge binacle to run an Oil pressure and Oil temp guage. But the SS dash will stay, I dislike HSV guage clusters in other cars as much as I dislike HSV...

Myself and the Mrs got out and gave the SS a Polish today. Not the greatest job, need better products. Here are some pictures. Before: After: Any comments one what I can do to make it look better are welcome.

I don't reckon a Standard VT V6 is going to crack 160kmh on a the 1/4 mile some how... :P

Just look at the URL, Dollarade.com

About what I was getting at. Broad general statements are stupid. Especially when coupled with an ill informed opinion.

I just tried to go through a google link and this is what I get: If I access the forum any other way its fine.

Good luck with what? Its not hard. Grim shoot me a PM I can link you to some people that can help.

Do they have an online shop? Because Im along way from NSW :P Edit: found it .

Nah the insert it self is buggered. Torn. 4blok have EVERYTHING, bar the bit I want :(

Will do, cheers for the tip.

Hi, The rear insert on my car has busted clips, looks grotty as. Can anyone point me in the direction of an online shop where I may be able to get another? Cheers, soop.

Man it must get old having to scrape bobble heads off your car every morning before work. I thought having to defrost the windows was a pain...

Looks very tidy. Not a huge fan of the front bar, Never have been a massive HSV fan. Love the colour though. Needs to be lower.

Sucks to be them, Patience is a virtue.

Found any other curry munchers stuck to the side of it yet?

Something that especially sucks when its in your undies I would presume...

Well I don't have a six wheeler and 3:9 isn't all that much different to stock :D. Its not that big, not once you consider where the average/peak torque is made with an LS1. Especially after a decent cam is used.

Ls1 should take 5.5ltrs of oil. Totally off topic. As for checking the dip stick being tedius. Perhaps you should just walk?

Ahh, The car is 100% standard aside from the tune. The owner of the car is more then capable of ensuring the rest of the mechanicals are in good working order. Car didnt have KR before tune, has KR after tune.

EFIlive so I can do a MAfless tune. Then i'll be looking at 3.9:1 final drive, 4000 stall and a cam. After that a 375ci engine will be going in.

Bahaha, W57 time...

The VY VZ SS badge looks perfect on the VY VZ body. Most aggressive shape to date IMO.

Falcon is my Father in laws. Its back in Vic now.

Has NOS. I blow it out my ass on a regular basis.
