yeh 2.5", its loud at low revs, has a nice deep note at about 1.5 to 1.8/9 grand, but as it revs higher it gets quieter according to my mate. I thought it was only getting quieter cos i could only hear it inside the car, but my mate reckons its just really loud at lower revs.

i think im gonna repair my damage to the front left quarter panel and the front bar next, i dont mind my ride height, like its not too high so it can wait a little while longer, plus i still cant decide how low i want it. but i probably wont be able to do anything til after my next service.

So ive changed a few things inside the car :p

First off i bought a new dash cluster, was already painted silver and had 3 lcds (main reason i wanted it) so i thought this was a good time to paint the rest of the dash. Paint came out ok, but i was in a bit of a rush so it got a bit runny and stuff so when i get some time ill sand it and do it again (bought way too much paint so i may as well). I then changed the gear selector surround to a wood grain one. But the gear selector button decided it wanted to pop out. So while trying to fix that i accidentally snapped it :( so more reason to go buy a chrome one :D, so now that is all in, and everything looks pretty awesome. I took some photos ive attached them below.

The dash is going to be programmed on friday, i just gotta figure out how i'm going to work out the odometer, ive been told the tech2 cant reset it so ill need to figure out some other way.

I could leave it but in my opinion i think it looks dodgy when your odometer is different than the actual k's of the vehicle. So ill work something out :)

So ive almost completed a power windows conversion on the car. All the regulators are in, the front left window and the rear windows work great, but i need to do some wiring to get the right window working now, or i buy a new BCM, but an el'cheapo wiring job might be the way i go lol.

Just wondering what you guys reckon though, ive been thinking about colour coding the skirts, so painting them white and matching the rest of the car, but how about grey?

like this colour grey https://forums.justcommodores.com.a...er-lowered-dvd-otr-mafless-tune-leather.69808

been thinking it might look better but not sure how it would look with the colour of the rims though. But then painting them white might make the car look way too white and might look worse. So not sure what im gonna do there yet.
