Yeah that's pretty damn impressive! Love your work.

So, how did you resolve the VE clutch issue?

not entirely sure to be honest

its a new clutch, braided lines, modification to return valve, modification/different model slave cylinder, etc etc

thanks for the kind words denizengt & holden8304


these are the brakes i bought today...just waiting to get here from over east now...obviously the big new ones...not the stock ones they are being compared to hahahaha

and these are the rims ordered that i am waiting for too...20x8.5 front and 20x10rear

once they are on i have the G8/CalaisV lip spoiler painted and ready to go on too
HSV 3.7 diff to go in with rest of anti axle tramp kit in the next week or two as well
and thats it for the car for performance mods....got some cosmetic mods planned just to make it different to the other Black VE SSV with black 20" rims running around perth 8)

Nice six potters you got there.

Do you know for certain that they fit behind the new rims? I know a lot of HSV owners have had problems with 9.5 and 10 inch non-standard rear wheels fitting over the brakes due to the offset.

the brakes fit the SS 18" and SSV 19" OEM rims so these new rims are supposed to have same clearance and X factor as them....only putting them on will confirm it

pics of AP Racing brakes on....
i fear they will look small with the 20" rims on :lol:
FRONTS

REARS

the rear AP rotors were bigger than the stock fronts!
these pics with the 19" SSV rims really dont do the brakes justice...but damn do the stop...absolutely love them and finally the weak point of the SSV is no longer :yahoo:

and my favourite image from the cam install thanks to jnr :bow:

very nice!

your car is one of the only 'my ride' threads that i actually read and regularly check for updates.

 

[EXCESSV]

cheers for the kind words troy

here is a vid of idle etc with the cam...
not that great as there is wind etc but it gives an idea

Very nice Deano! Can't wait to see the new rims on it. Decent brakes work wonders for drivability I reckon and those AP Racing ones are no doubt even better than my Brembo (aka HSV) brakes.

I spoke to Sonny from Marrano's in Sydney today... Looking at just over $4,200 drive in - drive out for cam, valve springs, OTRCAI and tune. Once I have that done, I'll get a small chrome sticker made up that fits neatly under the 307 on the boot lid: "rwkw"
