    1996 VS HSV Senator
    Model: VS Executive - HSV Enhanced - build #012
    Trans: Auto
    Engine: 185i 5L V8
    kms: 162,200

    Modifications: HSV intake, HSV extractors, HSV exhaust with Hi-flo cat, straight through tail pipe, 10mm leads. Harder shift pressure with corvette servos.

    Exterior: 19' Millie Migalia Evo 5 rims with 8mm spacers, HDT genuine front and rear bumper (unsure about the rest, door skins, spoiler and sideskirts)

    Interior: Clubsport front seats, HSV steering wheel, head unit and alarm.

    plans for the future: I want to manualise and hopefully supercharge it.


    I've had this car for little over 5months and it's been a dream with the only hiccup being a leaking radiator which was replaced.

    any suggestions and honest opinions are welcome, I won't be offended.

    I'm not entirely sure on the history of the car, or weather or not it was a pursuit car.

    HSV enhanced. Meaning HSV 185i motor with the other supporting HSV stuff as well. Not really a HSV.

    Actually the motor is the same, it the chip and knock sensor that made the difference between the 165 and the 185 motor.

    Seems so. Still a damn nice car though. Clubsport seats would of probably been added later otherwise you would of had the back seats as well.

    That is one sexxxy car in damn good condition. Pretty low kms too which is great. Dont like the idea of that sexy V8 sound being wrecked by supercharger whine but each to their own :) Should put up some engine pics too.

    The back seats have the same stitching as the Clubsport front seats, just no writting (like HSV or clubsport) I imagen the seats would have been installed by the last owner? He was in his late 40's and said he was the second owner.

    as for the engine bay, it won't let me upload pictures from my computer in this post. only differences are the engine covers, intake and fuse box are painted blue.

    Be clubsport seats as well. They don't come with writing in the back. Could be factory then.

    Nice car - if you intend dragging with it, I'd stick to the auto

    gotta admit, i really like this things. usually i hate those front bars, but dont know if the camera angel or the colour but it suits it perfect.

    have you fix'd the rear where you can still see the old badges?

    Hey fellas, I haven't fixed the rear where the clear has come off yet, but it is on my list!

    I don't intend on dragging it or thrashing it as I have a lot of respect for my cars. Even though I'm not a HUGE holden fan but I love this car, It's really a weekend car and I miss having a manual (my last car was a 260rwkw R33) lol

    I love the bodykit and when i was searching for a new car my intentions was to buy a ute for work, at the time there wasn't many utes around that I liked inside of my price range and when I saw this car sitting in the drive way I just had to have it (I found it by mistake). People might not agree but the white rims just stood out and suited it so well. I was going to sell them and get some Supersports or Sigs.. buuuut I like to be different and I have never seen these rims before as they are not very popular and actually pretty hard to find.

    some people think I got a bargain and I'd like to think so for what it is, but only being an Executive some people don't agree and sometimes I have my doubts.
