Hay guys, some of you will no me from my black vz Calais thread (vz clubby mock up) that iv had for that last few years anyways the time has come we're I can buy myself the real thing :) so this is my new ride

It's an 05 model vz clubsport z series, it's a 6 speed manual, has only 70,000ks full service history, factory sunroof etc very happy with it ATM its in like new condition still but had plenty of money spent on it, the owner was very fussy like myself and only used it as a weekend car :)

Now lucky for me I still have my vz Calais, so I plan on taking all the extras that iv put into it and putting them in my clubby befor I sell the Calais.

What's on the out side

- 20inch ve gts wheels painted gloss black
- lowered all round
- hids
- vz Calais tail lights
- all lights changed to LEDs
- custom carbon wrapped bonnet mould with clubsport stitched in it
- 5% tint
- chrome window surround
- all billet caps and covers under the bonnet
What's on the inside

Pretty standard ATM just factory Hsv interior with black n red seats

- factory sunroof
- Hsv door sill plates
- led interior lighting
- short shifter

And best part the drive train :D

It the Factory 6L ls2 with
- big cam
- l98 Higgens heads
- double row timing chain
- under drive pulley kit
- high volume oil pump
- Valve springs and push rods
- Heaven duty clutch
- 3.7 tight LSD
- stainless steel extractors
- high flow cats
- twin 3" exhurst dumped at the diff, fake tips
- all new better bushes under the car for handling
- otr and dyno tuned putting out a nice 462rwhp or 344rwkw
- catch can

What I'm swapping out of my Calais into the clubby

- chrome window surround (done)
- chrome senator flutes
- 20inch g8s (still can't decide what wheels I like better) ve gts or g8s?
- Hsv door sills (done)
- head unit, speakers, subs and amp etc
- black Calais dash to replace silver clubby dash
- r8 gauges
- chrome billet bits under the bonnet (done)
- foggies and high beam hids


I hope use like it and I'm sure there is more but I'll add to it as I remember

Awesome pickup.
Hows having the real thing versus the mockup.
As for wheels, I prefer the wheels already on the Clubby.
Not that I would do it but do you have any thoughts on swapping over your bonnets.
It would definitely catch people out who know your old car when you suddenly accelerate away.

Very nice dude! Black Vz clubbies are the best (i'm not biased at all haha). I want to get chrome VZ senator flutes for mine too, but i reckon it'll be cheaper just to get the current black ones chrome dipped. Any tips of how to remove them? :p

Bit of a pain but you have to take off your inner guard and squeeze the clips with a set of pliers. long nose makes it easier.

Thrashing it out with a screw driver works as well. got taught that by some rats who stole one of mine haha.
