02 VX HSV Clubsport - S2

Building this up for my sons first car and using it as my work car on the days I go to the office. Building up an L67 for it. Bit overkill for a first car, but the boy and I are having a heap of fun working on it.

Stage1 of the works complete. Huge thanks to Belrose Autocare. Robbie and the team are awesome. We had a few challenges along the way, and they were able to work with me to find a solution.

New Air Conditioning Condenser

Manta 1 7/8 Dual 3 Inch System. Had the Headers Ceramic Coated inside and out.
Second Manta system I have bought which didn't fit right. Fair enough it didn't fit around the diff cover as this is nonstandard, but exhaust shop had to modify quite a bit to make it fit right. Sounds awesome though.
Not enough back pressure with the standard motor but will be great with the Supercharger.

Proof of concept with the airbox and radiator cover.
The PWR Radiator and new Air Cond condensor are almost too nice to cover.
Notched out the airbox, so the cover would sit down properly and trimmed the lid to get it to sit flush. Came out nice. Have duplicates which I will get properly painted.

Off to the workshop for the Supercharger and Roller Rocker install, New ARP Headstuds, LS2 Coils, New Thermos etc.
Will share Dyno video and pics when I pick it up. Sooooo Excited!

Got a new set of Kindig Exhaust cutouts to fit the 3inch exhaust. Will get them fitted when I get it back. The sound will be insane.

A few progress shots. Taken a lot longer than I had expected. Get it back next week.

Trial fitting a few of the dress up bits. Painted up the throttle bracket and piping.

Had a go at a custom guage pod. Was a pain to get to fit right even using the factory GPS housing.

Hard to get it to the quality level I like, but looks good in the car for the moment.
