Oh really? That sucks. What did that set you back?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing! Nah, the roadworthy place I went to picked on the usual things, windscreen wipers, rear tyres, and a few other little bits and pieces.

Thanks man. Nah not an every day car, only gets 200km to the tank lol. Yeah, it goes pretty hard, can be a little bit scary when it kicks you out sideways at 70km into 2nd, but I rarely drive it like that. Basically its just something I take out on the weekends.

Not much has changed. Bought a new set of wheels, VE SSV S2, which I think looks good. And heres a quick video of it idling in the garage. Porn Link Removed Dont get to drive it much, as I'm still on my Ps.

Last weekend I decided to try my Inflexion wheels off of my other car. Wasn't too keen on them on this car... Opinions?

Haha yeah, not a bad deal! Yeah I know they are pretty hard to find, but Ill just wait until a set comes up and grab them. Took it in to get a roadworthy last week. It only needed Windscreen Wipers, New foglight as it was cracked, the bolt to hold the spare wheel and for some reason the back...

Hey Guys, Bought this car last week. All the engine work so far has been done by him, but will eventually be doing more to it. For the money that the previous owner spent on it, I couldn't let it go for the price that he wanted. Here's some info of the work that has been done to it! 1999 VT...

Will do man. Ill have to go through all the receipts and put one together. Thanks for everyone's help.

Went and picked the car up tonight.... Love it..

Thanks for the replies guys. If everything goes good at the mechanic I intend on keeping it. I didn't realise the value of some of the parts that are on the car. I'll be doing some more research on what's in it. Thanks for your help!

Hey knighty92, Thanks for your quick reply. I took the car out on Sunday afternoon, for half an hour or so. Since its rebuild and the work that it has had done, its done 20,000km. The car runs very smoothly, and the ride feels very tight. I've never seen someone so meticulous with a car, as he...

Hey, I've been looking at a VT SS Ex Highway Patrol car. Only one owner after highway patrol. It has a 304 that has been stroked to 383. Has receipts for over 20k spent on the engine. Rebuilt and shift kitted auto, and a rebuilt club sport diff. Would it be worth buying for $5k? What should I...

Spent the past week respraying some interior bits that I bought. Used gloss black around the edges and Satin Black for the middle. Turned out really nice. I also bought a Leather steering wheel, Gearshifter, and Handbrake as well as full Black Leather Interior. Still a few bits that I need to...

Hey everyone, I tried having a quick look on here but couldn't find anything, just wondering if anyone can help. I was looking on eBay, I found a place that sells a tune which they send out a device to install on your car. Can anyone tell me if this will actually do what it says...

Mine was doing the same thing. Somehow the plug that goes onto the MAF sensor had unclipped and made it do that. Maybe check that if you havent already?

Took advantage of the awesome weather and cut and polished my car. Turned out awesome..

Yeah mate. I have lowered it. Got it done by pedders the first time, it sat about 2" lower in the rear and 1.5" in the front. The back sat. Little higher so I put SSL kings in the rear to even it out. Sits nicer now. Have you thought about buying them second hand? I've seen a few sets go for...

Thanks for the comments guys, yeah the spacers were worth it man, definately improved it. They cost me $150 and they're from Mace engineering.

Thanks for that benboy. So even though there is a fuse, there is nothing running from there?

I was just replacing the fuse for the cigarette light in the centre console. Checked the fuses and realised that the fuse controlling it isn't actually labeled cigar lighter, rather Acc socket. Does anyone know what the cigar lighter fuse has running to it? Sorry if this has already been...

Bought a 12mm manifold spacer from mace. Couldn't recommend it more for anyone who's looking for more low down power and overall power

For anyone considering to buy a 12mm manifold spacer for their alloytec I would recommend it. I bought one thinking that it wouldn't do much, but I couldn't have been more wrong. It improved the car throughout the whole rev range, and gave it some much needed power down low Also, thanks to...

Sent a pm mate.

This is what the car looks like now. Not much has changed. Got new headlights. After these photos, I also lowered her a bit more, and now have a 2.5" exhaust.

Thought it would be a nice day to give it a wash and to take a couple photos... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Thanks man, Glad u like it.

Today I had the interior dash lights all converted to blue. Was done by LMElectronic's.

Thanks! Yeah I'd like to get a calais front would look pretty nice

Bought my self some brand new VE SSV Thunder Wheels today. I think it looks pretty nice.

Nice Car man, I really like those wheels too.

Thats a pretty good price. Ill start looking around next week. Might get this before an exhaust. Cheaper and probably more fun too. Thanks.

Thanks heaps for the quick replies. Loopie, What do I need to do to turn up the line pressure? Will it have the same effect as a shift kit? Thanks Richard for your detailed response. Whats a rough price I'd be looking at to get it done? You can buy the kit online for around 200

Hey. I tried doing a search before opening a new thread, but couldn't find much. Just wondering if anyone here has a Stage 2 Shift kit in their VZ? If you do have one, or you know, what are the positives and negatives of getting a shift kit? Obviously it would give you firmer shifts but...

I got a quote to polish my wheels up like a mirror. Price was 720 for all 4. Does that sound too overpriced? Is there any places in Melbourne that would be cheaper? Would I be able to polish them myself? Thanks.

Nice car mate The chrome looks surprisingly good on that color.

Hey DeadlySphinx, Do you have any videos of the exhaust? It's hard to find many good quality video and I'd like to get a rough idea on the sound. Thanks

Hey buddy. Just wondering if you know if the boot carpet will fit a Vz.? If so I'll take it

Yeah they are a bit damaged but might look at getting them repaired. Cheers!

Wouldnt mind getting these wheels either.... Any Opinions? http://wheelworx.com.au/stock_wheels/G8/gmax_heritage_wworx.jpg
