hey mate i love this thing, i want one of these 4.2kits ofr my vy ute with the raptor supercharger, how much are the stroker kits? did u get C.O.M.E

 

[psivyv6]

sorry did u get C.O.M.E to build your engine or did u just buy the stroker kit? i would love some prices on the pistons and rods and any other internal stuff if you can tell me or pm?
cheers

Yes its a C.O.M.E. Racing stroker kit
It was awhile ago and without checking any receipts it was something like $5,500 for the kit and no C.O.M.E. Racing didn't build the engine however I've got nothing bad to say about them, they know their stuff!

Check out http://www.comeracing.com/products/pricelist_2007.pdf for an updated price list I guess. I just pulled that off their site, I'm not sure how accurate/current it is though just give them a call and see what they can do.

And if you've got the money to spend, you wont regret it! Its completely different to drive!

ive got a similar set on mine i got the vz gts on mine,

Thanks champ, I'm really happy with how it looks but there is just a little suspension issue which I have to clear up at the front, and mounting issues at the back.

As stated before they are Genuine HSV VE R8 19's. They are 19x8 at the front and 19x9.5 at the rear. Tyres are 235/35's at the front and 275/30's at the rear. They cost me $2100 for the set of 4 rims and then they needed to be machined to fit the a VT, and then I spent $980 on tyres... and yes, they are real!

I've got a picture of the new rims on the front with the old rim on the back and it really stands out and makes the old rims look tonky. I'll upload it tomorrow.

they would look killa if they were powdercoated gloss back and red walls
but they still look awsome good choice
