Car looks nice mate, not a big fan of the rims, but each to their own. Wild turkey i reckon that is in the cup holder?? :D

Thanks VP, what Alpine ones would you suggest?

Is there much of a difference between Pioneer & Alpine?? I previously had Kenwood 6x9 in teh back of my VN (No Subs) and 6" Pioneer in the front, hooked up to JVC EXAD, KD AVX2. I have now got my VY and am looking at installing some new speakers. Not sure what to go with. Have had heard good...

Thanks for the comments guys!

Car looks really good mate. I want to do the same thing with my Engine bay. Cheers for the price of the paint! You should def get some SS lights for her!! I am looking at some kind of induction to. Let me know what you end up getting. Will update you if i get mine first! :)

Have just had my Car checked over for the first time by my mechanic since i bought it & have been given the all clear! Massive relief. :w00t: Have also had exhaust confirmed as a Duel 2.5" sports system all the way through. :)

Unfortunately Night Shades is Illeagal. Full Stop. I like the grille mate, similar to what i want on mine, but with a custom HSV badge instead of the Holden badge (currently have the Chev grille). Where did you get the grille itself from? Not a fan of the lights. They look good on dark...

Thanks for all your tips people. Will hunt down somewhere that will knock me up a custom badge, then will see how we go from there. Thanks again

Ride looks nice mate. Are you keeping the Rims standard? Would definately upgrade to the SS lights. I love the look of mine! Umm, like Duk13y said, unlesss your willing to shell out the money on a supercharger your not going to be able to coax too much more out of her. Glad to see she's a...

Yeah, that's what i was thinking. I like the HSV front ends, but dont really want to replace the whoel thing. Might have to go somewhere and get it made up. There a few custom places around. I havent been able to find a HSV badge the size i was after either.

Oh ok, sounds easy enough....If you have a plastic welder....I didnt know they even existed. i thought there were only metal ones.! lol :D

Cheers Sav, yeah i remember seeing that some where on here before. Pretty similar to what i am looking for, would rather chrome instead of the black though. I guess it should be relatively easy to lay hands on a HSV badge the same size..... Did you make that up yourself?? Take long?

Hi peeps, Am looking at removing my Chev grille (which i'm sure plenty of people here will be happy about):p & replacing with something different. I wanted to try and find something with the HSV badge on the front (around the same size as the Holden badge that comes stock). Also instead of...

Cheers, yeah i am pretty happy with it. Ended up getting it for $22k drive away (car was originally $24k without onroads - Edging $26k drive away) so was happy with it. They took my VN away with a decent trade, installed my stereo & put in 4 new speakers as well as there were no speakers in...

In the same boad as everyone else. Wouldn't want to spend more than $150-$200. With that said, im pretty happy with my standard SS lights :)

:my: Exactly what i was thinking..Some dangerous sh!t...were you going very fast at the time?

I am picking up my Golden Retreiver in 5 weeks time!! Through a breeder in Adelaide. I was advised that size of your backyard is not necessiraly a big deal as long as you are willing to get out and exercise your dog. Apparently for retrievers and most other big dogs they should be getting x...

Shame about the k's, the body looks quite tidy. like everyone else said you could definately get something with bettter k's for that price... With that said, when i was buying my VY, someone on this site (i cant remember who, refer Purchasing a VY SS thread) said that its always hard to give...

Thats rotten luck mate......How many of us have swerved to miss someone cutting us off only to do damage to our cars.... The worst part is half teh time they don't even acknowledge that they have done anything wrong or they give YOU the finger :bang:

Wow. some of you people have had a sh!t load of cars! Makes my list look REALLY small. lol Blue 77 Mazda 626 (that little thing went hard!) - Rebuilt engine 1991 White VN Commodore Exec, Chipped, 17 ROH rims, 2.5" Lukey system ( i still miss that car) 2003 Cosmo VY SS 6 speed manual (my...

Prolly not the best time to be trying to drive around unregistered...With Cop presence and all.....Rego is BLOODY dear though.....Like Minux said, Good thing you didnt hit something expensive! I havent really been out that much, but when i have i havent seen one copper (unless you include the...

Welcome to JC mate. I think you'll find most people will be able to help you out with any questions you might have in regards to mods. Look fwd to pics

Oh ok, cheers. Will pop over to sponser section now!

Its hard to give them respect when they do so many wanky things themselves....

I wish i only had to pay cost price.....No need to brag DVS!! The rest of us have to pay full price...Robbery!:cry:

Thanks guys, Yeah is gonna be a pain to take the cover off. Am going to have to take the sway bar off first...Will only be taking it ogg to paint it then it will be going back on. The exhaust sounds louder than other standard SS's that i have heard, just not sure if there has been anything...

Pics now on My Ride...Once approved by Mods anyway!

Hi all, pics updated in My Ride (VY)....Well will be once approved my mods anyway... :)

Hi all, have finally gotten around to posting pics of my new car! Let me know what you think!. :yeah: VY SS, 6 speed manual 18" Chrome Rims Midnight Express Tinting. No aftermarket mods as yet.

What a pain in the arse! I would struggle with the motivation to do that for my own car, let alone stealing someone elses....I came out to my old car once (an old Mazda 626) only to find that someone had siphoned the petty & stolen my battery. Only problem was they had cut all the wires...

I didn't even know these existed either. I have just gotten rid of my VN...... Was a 6 tho. Are you sure you want to "Nismo" your Holden????:p Fair call though if its a throwback to your dad... Hope the conversion goes well. make sure you let us know how you get on with it! I wish i...

This is F***ing Bullsh!t. I knew this would happen & i knew there was a reason why Jap cars give me the sh!ts. I was looking at stickering the VY once the tint was done which has just been completed. May well wait unitl after easter now though, hopefully the cops will have psyched down by...

Nightshades is illeagal in SA wether your using the lights or not. Def for off road use only. With that said a mate had his tail lights & indicators done on his VR & never got hassled about it. Not to say that someone else wone have any trouble though.

Had the tint done today &i have to admit i think it looks pretty good. Am def happy with it. Doesn't look too dark from inside out, but when looking from the outside it's nice and dark. Can really only see outlines and the glint of the silver on the steering wheel. Will get pics up soon...

Thanks for the info guys. Will probably book it in with tint a car tomorrow. had a look Tint professor but it looks like he i sonly in VIC & im in SA. Cheers, Mav

Hi all, have trawled the search function but most of the posts on this were fairly old, so just wanted to see if anyone had any new info. Am looking at getting my VY tinted at Tint a Car with Midnight express (darkest you can legally go). They have quoted me $295.00 for the entire car...

Your car looks like its being well looked after DVSV8...Wouldn't mind seeing it being driven hard, but you know, if its got different coloured panels all of a sudden... :S

Do you have any other colour on/in your car other than white at the moment.. You could always go that one. A mate of mine has a White ute with the red stripe running along the sides and painted his white with the Holden Logo in Red. looks ok.... I intend to paint mine the same as the body of...

Hmm, well it seems like everyone feels the same way...Yeah, as i was cleaning it up was finding bits and pieces and thinking "ahh i remember when i dropped that.....Good times!) Definately feels like part of the family is going. Just hope whoever ends up with it looks after it, they are going...

So, i've just finished cleaning up my VN and getting everything ready to be handed over tomorrow to the dealer that im trading it into & whilst i was doing it i couldn't help but feel a bit sad at the fact as of tomorrow morning she won't be mine anymore. I should be happy as i am trading up to...
