Looking for a VE
Hey guys,

So I've finally got my first V8! Picked it up yesterday. Have already done just over 200kms in it in 4 hours around town and averaging 18.8L/100k LOL.
But so fun to drive! A massive upgrade from the SV6 IMO

The night time pics aren't too flash as it was only with my phone. But my phone takes great day time pics :)

Originally I wasn't too sure/keen on the chrome, but after having it for a night, I'm officially a fan of chrome on black :)

Oh right, forgot this part...
Current Mods:
3" CatBack Xforce Exhaust
20" Chrome ROH Wheels
Dark Tint
SSV Tail Lights
Debadged Rear badge and changed front Grille to Holden

Future Mods:
Lumpy Cam
OTR CAI
Possibly Supercharging
SSV Tail Lights --- DONE
Chrome Trim around each front grille
IQ Unit upgrade

Thank you thank you :)

It seems that the balancer pulley might be on its way... which racq didn't pick up when they inspected it. Which is kind of annoying. Has a small squeak at times... hopefully not too much to fix.

Well my mate and I pulled the cover and intake off to have a look. Took a video of it, but basically the balancer pulley at the bottom has a little bit of a shake in it. It's due for it's next service in about a month, so was thinking of getting it done then maybe.
Anyone know of the costing involved here ?
