    Pollushon: The front is running SL springs and the rear is running SSL. With the 18's it's dead level.
    And CONNOR: I painted it about a year ago, it's painted with a Greenish Blue Hammertone pressure pack. I found it quite good, withstands the heat and easy to clean.

    I've been talking to the guys at Exile Motorsport, and they can do me a kit for around $4000, installed with a rough estimate of power at 300hp at the wheels. Includes manifolds, turbo, injectors, chip etc...
    And sadly because of gearbox issues (because it's a VT gearbox it doesn't like the standard VS Computer, from a standstill, as soon as it gets to 2000 rpm it changes to second) it only run a 17.2

    Nice man, I can tell you with 300rwhp you'll love it, I still crack a woody when I drive mine.

    Is that something you can sort with a tune? Maybe chat to The1 or Delcowizard, they are da men on maps.

    Yeah, im so keen for boost, either Turbo or Charged it's gunna happen haha

    And I've been told that a tune should fix it, but there's no point getting it tuned now if im gunna be playing around with it down the track.

    It's a strange thing, it only does it from a standstill. Say if im cruising along at 50k's and plant it, it'll kick back to first and rev right out no worries then when it changes to second it throws you back because of the shift kit.

    But doesn't really bother me. I don't flog it around town and went out to Test N Tune to have fun (which I highly recommend anyone do) was such a good night.

    She's slowly getting there... Haha

    Congratulations on the trophy! What did they like about your car? Not sounding rude, just want to know.

    Because there was absolutely no way I was gunna take home Best Holden, Best Sedan etc.. because they're were some $100,000 show cars there haha So I won the encouragement award, which is for someone who may not have a big dollar show car but puts in all the effort to polish and detail what he's got with the same passion that the other guys show.

    Sorry I haven't made a post in a while!! Been busy with work etc...

    Installed a MACE 69mm Throttle Body the other day :) Pretty sure I've decided to go with a Supercharger as my neighbour who has a 4.2 Stroked VS is halfway through a Turbo install, seems the Supercharger will be soo much easier.
