    Nice car mate. What do you think of your exhaust? Recommend it?

    Thanks, was happy with how the green turned up, did black along the bottom but wasn't happy with how it went, might have to sand right back and try again... I got the factory kit, i don't have a huge budget and if i wanna flog it i'll just switch back to petrol...


    Dukey, Exhaust is good, has no resonator at the back. Happy with it for $175, i just gotta find a decent looking tip with a 2 1/2 intake without spending a fortune (if anyone knows of any, supercheap and the like only stock 2 1/4 bast*rds)

    Very nice clean car mate, I'm picking up one identical on Saturday :D

    Also looking at the VE SS rims will watch your car and see how they look for sure.

    Cheers.

    Rims will be a while, probably towards the end of my list, maybe when they release the new series so old rims come down.

    Where you at? How much you pay if you don't mind me asking? Mine was $12500 with 140kms about a month ago.

    Not gonna believe this, but identical price and km range. All it needs is a replacement steering wheel as the struts are work badly back to white, and someone has debaged the S so I will need to do that (simple fixes). Only other options mine has is that it has reverse parking sensors.

    Ha! well i guess i didn't get ripped off then, or we both did. Nah I'm happy with it. Yeah i have a few marks on it where it looks like somethings eaten into the paint work but I'm actually taking them off and painting them green like the rest to fix it. Good luck, if you have any questions about it just ask, and if you got any advice would appreciate it

    Do you mind posting a how to on this for a vy/vz? I know there is one for the VT i think but I wanted to know how to do the cluster surround and the wheel spokes. Help is great.

    btw, it looks great!

    Haven't done any LEDs that i know of...

    Well i have had some issues with the lpg depending on where i fill up. When i got it back it had a full tank and got 13L/100kms according to the display and i worked it out when i filled it manually and it was pretty close to that.

    I then filled it up with caltex gas and got 15.3L/100kms with similar driving, which i was pretty annoyed at...So today i put $15 worth of ampol gas in and so far its saying about 14L/100kms but its still coming down... so will have to shop around and see who has the best gas. Installed a new sound system during the week but haven't quite finished yet..

    Thanks for everyones comments too:thumbsup:

    Thanks for the comments guys, was happy with the dash until yesterday when a neighbour thought it would be good to let their dog have a walk around while i was working on the sound system and well the dog decided to jump into the car and put a nice big scratch accross the paintwork... Lets just say i don't think i'll see the dog again after i kicked its ass as hard as i could
