wow those rims are amazing love them!!! slotted rotors look sick...i just got some cross drilled and slotted rotors cant wait to get them on!

the list looks good mate, ive got diamond visions in mine they do look pretty sick, once you get your ss bar get foggies i love spotlighting peoples interiors at night haha! calais/berlina garnish for sure, will set it off mate!

good work cant wait to see it all done!

Thanks mate I really like these rims, these are genuine HSVs as well, getting hard to find now. I really wanted to get some drilled and slotted rotors, i couldn't find any for a decent price until i bought mine, go figure haha.

Yeah I think i might need the calais garnish, I think the width of the rear bar will look weird without it, will be too white. And i'll definitely be getting foggies, main reason i want the SS bar haha


Anyways I thought I'd take some photos of the Diamond Visions now that its dark. (My phone camera doesn't really capture the light properly, need to get my hands on a good camera, aso, that's just dirt on the headlights, only washed it a week ago )

Also i found some other older pics from before I got the camber fixed up and was running around on stockies

yer i looked at them for a while but too much and couldnt find a good set so you did well....that sucks, well i was looking at 50 a corner to machine and hoped on ebay and for 120 a corner picked up some drilled and slotted was pretty happy just gotta fit them now. Hopefully will look good cause youll be able to see them pretty good with the SSV's

thats it mate, try get the chrome strip im still looking around for one, holden wanted like 120 for it so still searching ebay for it i think it just sets everything off up back.

i love my foggies must admit i do drive with them on allot haha look like a dick but ohh well love having the 3lv cluster lit up.

What did you do to fix your camber? just a 4pt camber kit? cause i have BADDDDDD camber as im on fe2 suspension with 19's and wondering if its worth it cause i may aswell just wait and rotate the tires.......i have also heard you can get the VY suspension arms and whole kit and put it on vx's to fix the problem but its like 700 bucks or something, dont know if its worth it.....

lights look nice mate, wait till you get your foggies like mine defs gonna go HID soon

Foggies look awesome! Don't worry I'll be leaving them on all the time when I get them too haha, I don't think I'd go HIDs but definitely take some photos when you put them in. And yeah the slotted rotors will look sick next to the SSVs, i love those rims.

I installed (well i should say mainly a couple of my mates installed lol) a VY Diff cradle, cost me $200 for the cradle and $90 for the camber adjustment from centreline in Thomastown (Bit expensive but I was recommended to them by a few people, so thought I'd try them out), thats just 2pt camber kit also, with FE2 you shouldn't need to get the camber adjusted it should be pretty straight. There's a guy on ebay who sells the diff cradles, he's in Altona, his ebay username is fairlaneltd, I got mine from him, he wrecks a lot of commodores and usually puts up the parts i can never find, I check his store out weekly now haha.

thanks mate.....whats the diff cradle do? i have no idea about this sort of stuf haha......there is a fair bit of camber idk why maybe cause there 19's i have fe2 so idk maybe the weight from the gas tank i have no idea but you can see it when you look down on them or from the back you can see it. ill try get a photo of it next time i remember.

yer i always find myself on ebay looking for stuff

Basically holds and supports everything in the rear end, holds up the diff, all the rear suspension, and your wheels. The vx series 2 onwards had a revised diff cradle so it helps correct the camber, basically its just a 2pt camber kit

sweeeeeet, i got onto that guy from ebay and he is going to let me know when he gets one in.....for 250 thats about what it would be for a camber kit so i may not chew threw tires as fast if i stop ripping them up myself

You could probably get him down to $200 if you tell him to keep the diff, and just use yours, that's what i did when I got my rear end. You'll also need a good weekend or even pay a mechanic to swap it over, I have a few mates who are pretty handy with tools so they did the majority of the work for me which was awesome, took us 14 hours and we had no idea what we were doing, i'd say a mechanic could do it in 2 - 3 hours. You also might need a wheel allignment afterwards, and make sure you loctite everything.

The seats are VT Calais International seats, bit hard to come by as i think there was only 250 of them, each model, Cream was the only colour choice for the leather in those, you could only get the cream leather in the calais internationals as well. Some Coulsons would be awesome man, they always stand out. What colour would you go?

yer i will keep that in mind, just a question when i chuck my car into reverse it sorta like lifts the car up and makes a noise, is that cause the diff is f****d?? no worries, my mate used to be a mechanic and his dad has a shop so hopefully ill get him to give me a hand or get some cheap labour i hope...
sorry for the dumb question but, loctite that gluey stuff yer??

thats awsome mate good find bet it hurt the old bank account if i could some black ones now the facia and all is black....but if i end up doing it ill get some vx or vy SS seats....the vx lumina seats are sick almost simular to the S-pac ones but they are grey so idk ill just have to see how i go

So bit of an update, Last weekend my Fuel Pump decided it would crap itself, so that meant taking the tank out to replace it. We needed to wait a few days to get one ordered in, so we figured why not paint my petrol tank. And then also figured, why not paint my dash as well since the silver was pretty scratched.

So now my fuel tank is Silver with copper in it, so its just a bit lighter than the champagne colour of my rims, the straps are black, and the dash is a glossy black. Again this is all thanks to King_Berald who did 99.99% of the work lol

photos didn't come out too well of the dash, will take some during the day. Left the dash cluster silver, just to see how it looked. Haven't decided if I'd spray it black to match the dash, or spray it another colour.
