- VF R8 SV
So after being a true blue ford bloke i have decided to jump ship to the HSV camp, many will know me and what i got upto in the ford scene in SA but now its time to move on
Being it was time to buy a new vehicle and honestly waiting for the FG-X to come out for it to be basically identical to what i had ( FG F6 ) and how lacking that vehicle was for "creature comforts" and decent interior trim it was an obvious point where i would be moving on, first up was set on an AMG C63 ( 2009-2010 model ) with the 6.3 335kw heart and had one nearly deposited on that the smart part of me broke into "reaserch" mode..... Well what a lemon , i know most of u think iam nuts ( thats still true ) but the c63 6.3 ltr has a massive flaw from faulty head bolts causing coolant to flood through the engine, loooooong story short it effects 2008-2011 models and the budget didnt go to 2012 territory ~130k
So after upwards of 6months looking and reaserching the VF R8 SV was what i wanted, GTS is nice but there is a reason to what i bought ...
So got a cracker deal on it MY15 auto in white $66k drive away
It came from a dealership in sydney and i collected it yesterday off the truck
Immediate plans are
Tint
Wheels ( simmons FR20's in white )
King springs
Di fillipo mild steel cat back twin 3.0
LATER
Otr
Cam
Heads
THEN
ASE or GEN RACING
Turbo kit ( still deciding on twins or big single )
All tuning will be done by me and the contacts we still have from our XR6T days and workshop
Heres some piks
