Well, i raised the arse end of the car, I liked the look of the ultra's in the rear but it handled like arse...... so i threw in superlows liking the way it looks atm but the difference in handling is heaps better.....

Also decided this car wont be getting a 5L conversion, staying as a 6 and going to strip it of sound deadening (maybe), put some thicker swaybars in and try and find ways to strenthen the butter chassis lol....... Then eventually buy a new car in a year or so (i hope)
So this is how it sits now

Ok so update, a while ago on a cruise with some mates through the hills I may have been reving at 4000 for about 20-30 mins, note: buick engines dont like it
So I threw in some additive to stop it from ticking/knocking, worked for about 6 months and then ****ed up lol

So i replaced the engine with the VR engine out of my old car, feels heaps better
also threw on/in
-Extractors (my stock manifold was cracked so thought **** it)
-High flow cat a mate gave to me
-Corvette Servo
-Reco Trans.
-Trans cooler (big ****, 400x180x25mm)

I'll be getting rid of my middle muffler in a couple weeks so it should sound pretty damn sweet (i hope)
Oh btw, here is pics of the extractors compared to stock

and my trans cooler compared to a 600ml bottle
