Late model SV6 Tuning

[soop]

Insurance, fuel, rego, and maintenance costs etc all adds up. Specially for someone under 25.

You don't know much about p plate laws do you? I've never been on red p plates... allowed all the mods I want as long as it doesn't break power/weight in which it doesn't.
No misinformation, just what I've seen. You and CSP troll alot, always turn it into a "buy a V8" thread. No on cares. (I wouldn't buy a holden V8 anyway, too sloowwwww)
My cars amazing on fuel, nice to drive, not too expensive to maintain and quite reliable.

Well if you've never been on red p-plates you're allowed to drive a V8... Provided it makes the cut. I had my SS on my P's police didn't mind.
My insurance is as I said, $660 per anum. Im 22. Fuel adds up to about $60 a week for about 650km. Maintenance is bugger all.

The fact that you think the LSx series motors are slow, just shows how ignorant you really are.

Ur 22 and ur insurance is 660 on a ss? 60 buks is about 44-48 litres. Say 47 litres to 650ks that's about 7.2 litres per 100ks?

 

[soop]

Yes, my insurane is $660 per anum.
Fuel costs varies from month to month with fuel prices
Generally 45-55ltrs.

 

[m05tw4nt3d]

that's awsome!

 

[Jarp]

$660 not surprising for a 22yr old as the car is 8yrs old. Prolly only got a market value of 8k....no offence.

 

[soop]

Ah no.
Insured for $22,000.
They still selling privately for $18,000 to $20,000.

And insurance doesn't really vary on what the value is.

 

[Jarp]

Ahh fair enough...although insurance premiums do vary with market value. As do other factors such as if you are under your oldies insurance, no claim bonus, company you insured with, previous driving history etc...cost me $600 on a 60% no claim, with a multi policy discount on 30k. So u got a reasonable deal one way or another.

 

[soop]

Yeah the premium can be effected by the value, but usually at my age there's many other things that come into play first.

Soop the V8 comment was me joking, doing a CSP lol. And I'm on P2 license, so couldn't get a V8. I get an average of 8l in my VE (suburbs) compared to the SV8 I sometimes drive at work with 13-15l. Maintenance (going by what Holden quote) is normally $50-$100 more.

I'd be paying an easy $500 or more a year on insurance, fuel would be an easy 1-2k extra. Rego 100-200. Then comes excessive tyre wear etc etc. There is no doubt that the cost of owning a V8 daily is much higher then that of a V6 (same year etc).

So anyway, back to SV6 tuning yeah? Thanks.

I can get 11/100 if I drive nicely.
Tyre wear is the same as v6 (wtf?)

Service it yourself. Costs about $60.

Arguement is moot.
