Hey fellas! First thread/post. Figured I would start by showing you all my baby haha.
Model: Holden VT II SS (2000)
Colour: Tiger Mica
Engine: LS1
Gearbox: 6M (T56)
Diff: 3.9.1 LSD
Suspension: Standard FE2
Rims/Wheels: VT SS
Brakes: Stock
Interior: Stock
Body/Engine Km's: 239,000 KM
Iv'e owned this thing for 11 months now, and it's also my first v8. Snagged it for a great price from an older bloke (at 233,000 Km's) that had owned it the previous 16 years! He bought it near brand new (less than 10,000 Km's), im guessing the first buyer offloaded it quickly with fear from piston slap and oil issues etc. This car has been very well looked after. I was actually amazed the first time I saw it in person and test drove it. It doesn't leak a thing, engines silky and quiet for an LS, and body has very few scratches/chips. It does drink a couple hundred ml of oil between each service, but not enough to worry me.
Mods before I got it:
3.9 Diff Gears, and full diff rebuild (have receipt from previous owner, done at 222,000 Km's)
Pacemaker Headers (Can't exactly remember what type, but I think they are try y's)
Twin 2.5" Exhaust. Hurricane I believe. I do love the sound, only slightly noticeable at idle, but the loud pedal f****** screams! No drone either.
Mods/Things done since I bought it:
Removed all mudflaps, plastic window protectors etc
LS6 Intake Manifold + Injectors
GM Ripshift (Race Version)
Direct Clutch Services HD Clutch Kit. Just a single plate organic (will go to something stronger when needed), this thing is only just bedded in, but the bite is phenomenal.
New, decent tread all round.
Mods to be done:
OTR and Mafless Tune will be done in a few weeks.
Then all bushes, and lowered springs/shocks/camber kit etc,
Upgraded brakes
New Tint and power window/rails etc. I want my windows dead silent hahaha.
Monaro Headlights
Then that should keep me happy till I decide wether im with it for the long haul or not. If so ill want to rebuild/cam it. A blower would be sick aswell, but we will see.
Also want to remove the towbar and rear wing, replacing the rear bumper without a towbar hole (mine was factory fitted) and a bootlid without spoiler holes. This car will also be resprayed in the same colour when the time is right.
I can't upload any of my photos from the day I got it, they are to large to upload, all of them, and I only have a couple pics of it from then. It was just more grandpa spec than it looks now haha.
Sorry for the iPhone quality pics, you get the jist though. Stock and clean, how I like it!
As it sits currently:
