Manual VY SS2, 2005 Rolla Sportivo
Car was out of commission for a few days while i sourced some new driveshafts, i done broke them again.
Both sides sadly.
They warned me about this when fitting a heavy duty clutch but i feel its got more to do with the height of the car.

In other news the sportivo has now got a tune, someone i know through the sportivo club recently got into an accident and as a result his car was written off, although the ecu which was tuned was perfectly salvageable.
Stock this motor has 141kw and his car (apparently) had 175kw.
I did notice a huge difference once it was in though lift kicks in a little lower down as well.

Funny though i was able to just plug and play as all the security non sense has been disabled.


Also, i fixed a rear speaker which was cutting out. i tried keeping the factory plug by putting little terminals in but they came loose so cut the plug off and soldered it in this time.

Manual VY SS2, 2005 Rolla Sportivo
As mentioned in my main thread I've purchased another Sportivo.
Kind of come full circle, i sold this to daily the SS which lasted about i dunno.. a week
Purchased a VT wagon which i sold after a year for the same price i got it for so was happy about that
Then i got a $2000 Nissan N16 pulsar to drive around.
1st year at work crashed his Sportivo and asked if i wanted to swap my pulsar for his Sportivo.... i said yea sure why not

He crashed it being an idiot in the wet, had huge spacers on the back so the wheel nuts literally had 1 thread each holding the wheels on.
Wheel came off and pushed out the RHR gaurd.
RHF hit a small pole.

At first i didnt intend of fixing it as my money is more so going towards a new house (ive purchased land)

But a mate of mines dad is a panel beater so i cammed his LS1 calais and he fixed my car.... all it cost me was labour (ended up being a full engine rebuild on that ls1 as well but i didnt mind)

This one has BC racing coils all round and CUSCO strut braces

I got to work on some of the things i done to my old Sportivo like the blacked out headlights, it came with a tow strap exactly like my old one!
There was a fair bit of "D P PLATERING" to do, as you can see by the black sprayed lip, red hood prop and horn not to mention the 2 tonnes worth of stickers on the car.
Also was missing all the sportivo badges (for some reason he thought they looked better on his toolbox)

After a cut and polish this thing came to life, its cleaner than my old one and with 100,000kms LESS

'02 VY SV8
I've just gone full circle as well, Mrs car was a G202 Charade and she ended up not liking it because it was a manual so I used it as a daily for 6 months.
Sold that and made money on it a couple of years ago, now my SV8 is needing mechanical repairs I bought a G200 Charade (same body but with a 1.3L 4cyl).

I have to say it is one of the most fun cars I've driven.
