- 2003 VY2 SS
hi guys, as some of you may know ive been through a few cars in the last few years
my first car i adored, i spent way too much money on it and looked nice
Was a VY S that was cammed, p plater spec, beautiful paint, nice wheels, interior retrimmed blah blah list goes on.
I loved the car, but wanted something different, so i purchased a supra and spent a bitof cash on that too...
The car now resides in Coffs Harbour (4 hours north from where i live) and as far as i know the car is still going strong to this day.
The guy that bought it from me got a deal and a half.
Harlen, if youre reading this, PM me!!
Anyways, heres a pic of the VY S
My next car was a toyota supra (na
) and was a fun car for still being on P's at that stage , but i knew it was going to be a money pit, so i sold it
the thing had coil overs, recaros, underbody bracing, mega expensive jap wheels, custom paint etc etc
My plan was to 1j it, but after it being a nuisance for daily duties and needing a daily , my plans for that were chopped (oh well)
My next car was a honda accord euro 07
GREAT car, like brand new. Only purchased this because it was sooo tidy, 65000ks and it fulfilled all the daily duties i needed with ease
also fantastic on fuel (900+ks to a tank around town, 1100+ hwy ks no word of a lie!)
heres a pic:
Then, after feeling like i had my balls chopped off because of the lack of power, i priced up some SS commodores and clubsports. Surprised, this one was in my price range, 155000 ks and all original (even the exhaust system!)
The thing is very well kept and despite some of its minimal imperfections which ill massage out, its a great car for its age.
This car fills out every duty i need, which is, power, 4 door, sounds great, auto (manual in arvo traffic is F***ed), big boot, comfy and super sporty
After feeling like ive chopped and changed cars too frequently, ive finally settled on a car that i adore more than all of my prior cars
ive made a pact to make sure i dont buy another car for 5 years!
Any ways, here it is! my new VY SS! dealer photos only atm, sorry! until i get it detailed properly
Pros:
Excellent condition inside and out
Seats show no signs of wear
V8
auto (yes, thats a pro for me)
able to fill out daily duties
Dat V8 rumble
Sooooo comfy
Oem stereo is good
the car is straight, with no prior major damage
Fuel consumption is quite good for what it is
Cons:
broken volume switch
brakes need machining
front bar needs a respray (not up to my standard)
Not as quick as my dads vy2 clubby (expected)
Future mods:
Calais window moulds
exhaust system (suggestions?)
decent detail
change the wheels asap, chromies arent my style
slotted rotors
Corvette servo
SS floor mats
Cheers guys for reading my novel! id love to hear your thoughts and suggestions with the car!
And no, i wont be swapping for anything else!
