Engine: 195Kw Alloytec V6, Wheels: 17" VZ SS Rims

Is it an SIDI? to have the 195kw engine? my MY09 only has 180kw
Or is that 'cos it's manual?

Interesting mod...you'd need hub centric rings? (VE hubs are bigger than pre-VE), and wheel nuts would need to be different?
Tyres look small (are they 225-55/17) or is it just the camera angle?

Love that red!

Any other mod's to come?

Not sure mate but it is the High Output version maybe that is why it has 195kw but it is an alloytec as it says on the engine. I bought it with the wheels already on it so not sure what he had to do might have to check it out, will get back to you with the wheel dimensions will look tommorow. Yes a great colour no immediate mod plans but next i am going to give painting the engine covers a go. Nice red on black theme

engine cover looks good...what paint did you use?

 

[Jazzas202]

Thanks mate, To start with I was going to use a VHT engine enamel but it was too orange like so I ended up using red VHT brake caliper paint which was meant to be for my calipers so I needed to get more haha. I got it from Auto Barn. Any heat resistant paint will work though

Ummm, putting older rims on a VE is a bad idea. :doh:

Any decent tyre places won't fit them to the car because they don't want to be liable when you crash and die.
