It's a real nice lookign VP, there's not many in that colour around where I live, lucky for me there's lots of maroon ones or I'd be arrested by now, My VN looks alot like your VP with the same silver ceptors but its got faded paint now days. I'm going to pain it in a couple months though pulse red as per this Monaro
This colour, I'll post it up one time once its painted
Cheers greeny Behold, the magic of photoshop! (but seriously, my ride is the one BEHIND that VP. :wax: )
I wish I had the dosh to throw at a good respray. I'd love to go the same colour, only much richer, with more gloss... ... or maybe just plain old flat white, so it's easier to touch her up whenever she gets assaulted by a trolley hero.
That glossy red would look insane on a VP Perhaps something with a little bit less of a pink hue in it, though? I'd be leaning toward red with a hint of firey orange, as opposed red with a hint of ladies' underwear.
nice to see things going well, i'm thinking about getting some ceptors also for the VN as then i can fit bigger rubber under her bum also, 195's just aren't designed for traction (just for fryin maybe ) 7.35 is afairly respectable time, the early tune will help with all the extra spark advance they have. will be redoing my tune with more advance today. that will hopefully see me in the sub 7sec 0-60mph club and hit 14's what fuel you running in yours, 91 or 95 or you really love your engine and run premium?
haha, sub 7s. I'd kill for that right now.
225s on 15*7s are about as much rubber as you'll fit under unrolled guards. worth the investment if you can get them They look tough, too. Or should I say, 'hardcore'. You won't look back
I still persist that I'm capable of a clean 7.2 in the condition my car's running, though. She feels a lot tighter than when I ran the 7.35 a couple of months ago - I just havn't found the right conditions yet. I did a repeat performance the other night, 7.38 and 7.32, but that was launching from the marbles in the emergency stopping lane, with towbar + sub + lotsa fuel at around 14 degrees ambient.
Towbar out now + dump the sub at home + belt grip on that back righty + launch from the middle lane at 4am (5 degrees ambient) should see me (touch wood) another tenth down. Just have to find the right time ^^ I've been hoping to get off work early the last two nights to do a few launches on the way home, but no such luck. Maybe I'll take her out tonight *ponders*
Anyway, she goes out for a good hand wash and wax in an hour, courtesy of my right hand. I'll be out there all day, I know it ^^
