Good 1 M8. Now u just need a cam and it will give u more Kw (small cam). I put a small 217/217 cam (VCM9) in mine and got 265RWKW which is good for me as a daily
driver + didnt need a stall converter with that cam. The green line is just with extractors and exhaust , the red with the cam installed..Plenty enough power for now (spins the
rears changing into second easily..
Cheers

No worries, someone asked me that before so this is a copy/paste of what i said.
If your asking about the engine upgrade its about $4500 to $5000 for cam , lifters and associated rods, springs, balancer, bolts, Oil, leads, plugs, mafless tune and labour plus minor bits and pieces. Then the exhaust and pacemakers about $2000 and otrcai around $500. Diff gears and work is about $1200. A bit of $ but well worth the extra rwkw. Totally different and responsive car from factory standard.
Hope that helps arthy. Daniel from Olsen automotive knows ls1s inside out and is as honest as the day is long, so if ur
thinking about future engine work he will go all out to help you with what you want. He just installed my
lowered springs etc to and is very fair with prices and does quality work.
Cheers

nothing big.. was looking for a stereo.. was looking to spend up $1000. went in to JB hifi.. saw the Sony Xav-63.. and had it have it.. it was a $500 price tag but ask the guy if I could get it any cheaper and got it down to $320.. was happy.. read a few reviews (a few i mean 8-10) and everyone seems to think its awesome.. for $320 why not..it got installed today. and damn I'm happy. looks so much better, feels like a newer car and also sounds great even with just my stock speakers.

i like it, love a black monaro
VERY good news that a honda guy has realised whats good
you were asking about coilovers, ive heard xyz are pretty good, and an aussie brand, pedders as well, and ofcourse tein if you're willing to spend that much
i think this is the first car that those wheels have looked good on, much better than they do on the ve's

don't know if you've said this (I didn't see it) is it auto or manual? I'm guessing auto as I can't see a clutch fluid reservoir in the engine bay. anyway, hope to see you around the cruises and Friday nights at KMart Kurralta.

thanks for the comment bud! yeah the wheels are perfect size for the naro.. they just look too small on the VE imo.
coil overs, still tossin up between that or an exhaust+headers first, but thanks for the tips..
*back to researching* lol
that's all I do at work.. is look and think about what's the next thing I can buy for my car...
