Sounds like one hell of a lot of effort on the engine cover, can't wait to see pictures of it.

Well here is a bit of a long over due update.

My lovely wife got me for xmas a set of springs to lower the big girl, but these are yet to be fitted as i am going to fit some koni fsd's at the same time and need to put some $$'s away for that.

She also got me some billet caps to dress up the engine bay.

Also had the 3.27 lsd fitted by CHE and what a difference that made, its a new car.

So in january the caprice recieved a paint correction just before we attended the kandos car show. Along with this i also painted the standard engine cover to dress up the bay a bit more.

I entered the show n shine, dyno, go to whoa and grass events where i got the 3rd best time. Click here for a facebook vid of me in the one of the grass events

Next up was the charity car show in dubbo at the start of march

And finally is bathurst autofest where i booked a pit garage and entered the show n shine, dyno, go to whoa and autokana. I ended up 2nd in the autokana (0.2 sec off winning) and equal 3rd in the go to whoa (0.21 sec off winners), 215rwkw for a stock car bar a k&n filter. So i was rapt with the whole weekend.

this vid is on me and my mate in the autokana

A bit of an update.

Been flat out with work so not much has happened but I have some parts ready to go




Also got off a mate a vcm otr with dress panels for $300. Just need to pick it up next time I'm down his way. We may even tune it when I grab it.

Don't know when I'll get a chance to fit the suspension but I'll post some pics when it's done

Nice ride mate. You'll notice the difference with the VCM OTR even without a tune.... It's a bucketload more responsive. Hold it in gear at about 2500 rpm then punch it.... My fuel economy is suffering cause its so much fun!

Will look great after suspension goes on.
