Hi, this is my 96 Clubby. Bought her completely original a few months back with 216xxx on the clock. People tell me to keep it original but I am a car modifier and this will be my first worthy project, and there’s nothing I like more than a blank canvas. This will be a fairly slow moving project and I want to do as much as I can myself… to give it that real personal touch. Name: Nevin Model: 1996 HSV Clubsport Colour: Cherry Black Bodykit: Standard Clubsport Engine Type: 5.0L V8 (185i) Engine Mods: None Gearbox: Standard 5 speed Man Other mods: Clear side indicators Power: Standard Exhaust: Standard Diff: Standard Brakes: Standard Suspension: Standard Wheels/Tyres: Standard Interior: Standard Future mods: Interior re-trim - including OA stereo install (in progress), lowered ride height (was thinking ultra-lows), re-spray (original colour), exhaust, cam, intake, chip, and wheels Pics:
Verrrrry nice. Nothing sexier than the cherry black VS clubbys. Looking forward to seeing your progress with mods
Thanks for the comments guys... Yeah not making a crazy out there car, just keepin it clean... Black n gray interior, original paint, and leavin the wheels original till everything else is done. Just ordered new carpet too
Clubby has fallen by the way side lately... VY was in a little incident and needed a new headlight and still needs a new front bar. But in saying that the carpet is in and dash is going back together for now. also got a new gear knob coming and some personalised plates on layby(CLU881). Will throw some pics up after the weekend.
Yeah the front sits way too high!!! Might just be that angle though not sure. Man I have a massive soft spot for the VS HSV's. Cherry Black + Manual + V8 = teh SeX! :yeah:
Yeah he front does sit high... previous owner had new shocks put in few months before i bought it But that should be changing soon enough... Was thinkin ultra low height all round.
try super low all around, i think ultra low will make driving the most painful experience of your life! haha great looking Clubby, definitely the best colour HSV ever had!
Cheers, got supers on my daily and i want this to be pretty freakin low... i know it means ill have to drive slow as **** in places and drive up stuff on a crazy angle but it something im willing to live with to have it lookin that bit better.
Those wheels are disgusting. Do the classic HSV a favour and put the original tri spokes back on. If you want them to look better, take them to a wheel shop and have them polished like on the GTS's.
