Have you tried Olsen Automotive yet m8? He should be competitive for an otr and mafless tune. With the wheels the going rate was about $100 each last time I investigated it for a decent job to fix gutter rash and repaint in 2 pack..If I were you I'd do diff gears upgrade to 3.73 or 3.9 as best bang for buck..

Looks great mate, pretty much identicle to my partners VX S, main difference is the engine plant, our first main Commodore, coming from Fords etc, interior in these are so much better compared to the AU series of Falcons..

Excellent..can't go wrong with Daniel Olsen..
If you go round there just be careful driving in cos the left side of his driveway has a huge hump that will
rip your exhaust off if your cars lowered..!!

Just ordered new headlight bulbs and SS badges. Going for VE SS badges as I reckon they look the best. Looking for some new rims aswell, Series 2 SSV's or 19" Supersport replicas but they are really hard to find :/
