Picked this up 2 or so years ago for $6,200

Had 159,000 K's on it and drove like a dream and still does.

Stock in everyway when I got it and stayed stock till the start of 2009 when I said to myself "2009 is the year of my car"

Time to turn this thing into a beast :yeah:

Nice dude. Noticable amount of lope, but i reckon once its had a full dyno tune itll smooth a lot of that out.
Sounds like a little toy hehe

UPDATE!

Been a while but yeah I'm still around...

Things slowed down for a bit after my job went under from the crysis >.< But starting to pick up again now. No where near as much work has been done as I would have liked by this time but non the less still enough for an update I guess. :)

Still no full exhaust yet >.< But the car has been tuned the 15L/100km was annoying me now back down to 9L/100 :)

Radiator cracked wide open and dropped its load all over the freeway >.< Car was out of action for awhile till I fixed it. Replaced it with a beasty all alloy radiator that is like twice the size of a standard one. Didn't want to put another standard plastic **** one in there after it just cracked open like that.

Got it off ebay for $350 and I feel it's money well spent! The temp needle hardly even moves from cold while cruising, also noticed a very slight gain in power and fuel economy that was unexpected from a radiator change...

BODY KIT! haha Picked up a genuine Senator kit. Needs to be resprayed though, will be doing this in the near future. I reckon it looks tops though :)

Re trimmed my roof lining with black fake fur haha it feels so nice to touch and looks awesome. Pimped much?

Custom grind Stage 3 Cam shaft
Dual row Timing chain
Oil pressure mod 80 psi
132lb Springs
LS1 Push rods
Modified retainers
Valve seals
Yella Terra Rockers 1.6
High Flow filter
SC CAI
Supercharged V6 coil packs (better than MSD's)
TopGun heavy duty 8mm ignition leads
NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs
Roof re trimmed in black fake fur
Senator Body kit (still needs painting)
All alloy dual row High performance Radiator
Painted rocker covers
Painted plenum Cover
Airbox Hole mod
Windows tinted

Mods to come:

Pacemaker Extractors in HPC
Dual 2.25" Exhaust into single 3" from catback
3.9 Diff gears
Mini Spool
Stage 2 shift Kit
Corvet servo
Intake manifold to allow OTRCAI
