    well this is my daily just to get me around till i finish my VL

    its a country pack vs exec with factory gas,
    the car came with fuel tank and sump guards, bigger swaybars, raised and the duel fuel all from factory

    we have owned this car since approx 50 000km and it has been running well since, i was given the car for free to use as a daily as we had it parked doing nothing

    the car is really clean for its ks, its had the factory dash mat on since it left the show room and no major engine problems have happened

    the picture with the 18s was how it was a few weeks back but the thread was starting to run low on the tyres so i removed them, plus they are off my vl

    been having crappy fuel avg for a while now, was doing 13ltr/100k on gas and recently been at 18ltrs/100k

    last night fault poped up and was lh o2 sensor
    so just replaced both o2 sensors and the ecu temp sensor
    should hopefully bring the fuel back down

    which ones?
    both the 18s are genuine holden/hsv rims
    HBD j series (vy range) and HSV avelanche

    cheers, looks nice when clean but im lazy and wash it every once in a while ha

    i need to detail the inside soon, looks nice when i get the time,
    and in winter i occasionly get the dash mat off, been on since factory :)



    well the fuel has came down quite a bit
    running on petrol (premium) its dropped from 16ltr/100k too 11.1ltr/100k
    did 70ks today crusiing at 60 and throught the city

    so im happy with that,
    will fill the gas up tonight and see what i get going to trade school this week,
    last week i got 347km out of the tank so ill be happy if i get the 450 mark

    well finally gave it a good scrub last night after work
    currently got the j series on but they will be off soon when ive got time to swap them
    the tread is about a mm or 2 above the legal marker so i best:p

    might chuck the avelances back on

    fuel usage is much better now, gas is 15ltr /100km and petrol is about 10ltr/100km
    well worth the $1 it cost for the sensors;)

    i was thinking yesterday at work about the ks the car has done and from what i caan work out its actually at the 450,000km mark
    orignal cluster said 380,000km, but was wound back by 40,000km when we sold it by a car yard, and the cluster has done 25,000 since i put it in

    so its up at the 450,000 mark
    and still drive nice :D
