    Hi guys new to Holdens/ Commodores and Monaros
    I have previously owned 4cyl motored cars 6cyl motor and my last car was a rotor.
    Here are some shots of my rx7 which i had extensively modded and had featured in magazines, so you can hopefully tell my Monaro wont stay stock for long!

    Nice mate, the CV8's look great. What plans have you got for it? I was over in Bathurst myself before christmas getting a tune done, also did a few laps of the mountain. The RX7 looks mean too!

    Hey mate I was just trawling through the VY/VZ threads and noticed you're in Orange as well. I'll have to keep an eye out for your Monaro cos I have seen your RX-7 around a while back.

    You have probably seen my white ute getting around town a bit as well haha

    Nice ride i actually like the old wheels when you dipped them white. How many rebuilds did the RX have the one thing that put me off rotors but I'd love to have one in the future.

    Hey mate rx had one rebuild whilst I owned it, New owner had to rebuild it a month after I sold it poor bloke lasted 15,000 on rebuilt motor, steered him away from Rotormaster as all my mates who went their are after rebuild now, Daniel Deckers- Decspeed is the place for rotors.
    The white stood out yeah but hate the style!! Thunders will do in the interim
