Hi all, im from the UK and this is my 2001 HSV GTS-UK

[kamylion]

Its #25 out of 31 shipped to us of that model, a GTS here is the Clubsport R8 to you lot in Australia and our GTS-R is your GTS...............i think thats right.

Im proud of owning this car although the rear camber issue with the tyres and the 15 mpg (18.8 litre/100km) is a pain here.

I was told by the car dealer it had some factory upgrades giving it 400bhp (298.28kw),

I think its 0-60 feels the same as or maybe slightly slower than my 1991 nissan 200sx s13 1.8t which i have tuned to 320bhp (238.62kw) but when the HSV gets into 3rd,4th and 5th it really comes into its own. And 6th is bliss on the motorway

Im allways looking online at the awesome cruising scene in Australia as it looks huge, all we really get here is kids in hatchbacks with their big fart cans and sub woofers :cry: ....its just bang bang bang noise... give me my V8 any day :yeah:

You should get someone to send you the camber rectifier kit. although is only usually a problem when its lowered.

Beautiful car mate!

Hey,

Glad that you like it.

Despite their common-ness down here, they still turn heads when they drive past.

I can't imagine their head turning power where you are when there is only 31 of them - possibly neck breaking?

Nice ride. Enjoy it.

great car mate, i was over in the uk not that long ago and didnt see any decent cars, a ford mondeo was classed as a "big" car lol hate 2 see what people class the r8 as lol

 

[Ripcell]

nice car mate, what exhaust is on it, stock or have you changed it? a 2.5" twin with straight through mufflers will make everyone break their neck. as for the camber, you can get camber kits here from just about any suspension or tyre retailer, im sure someone will be able to send one to you. as for 18lt/100 sounds a bit high? im assuming your doing crappy short driving or have a lead foot
