Wow, amazing work. good thing I seen the part about the nolathane kit for the coilovers haha. was wondering how it was done. all my previous work with coilovers has included adjustable camber plates.
So the night of posting my rims for sale i sold both sets of GTS rims! Guess i sold them to cheap of well just wanted them sold Into my stash of wheels i have put stock Thunder rims back on till the weekend. Doesnt look to bad
Its monday time to update my last few weekends work My Rockford speakers in my doors had stopped working just out of warrantly ( My luck ) I replaced them with some Soundstream speakers and are real happy. Made some propper door spacers this time Was time to rip the tray out to adjust the dampening. Spoke the owner of K-Sports at Summernats and he told me the correct settings. Didn't want to cut the tray but i ended up having to. Springs are now settled i will drop the front a but lower this week ready for a wheel aligment on Friday morning I got my hands on some brand new clubsport seats chucked them in used them for a day. I liked them only issue i sat over the steering wheel so i sold them the next day. Was planning on getting clubsport logo removed but as you can see plans changed Heres the good stuff a little eye candy! I searched the land far and wide for these bloody wheels and finaly got my hands on some! He is also a memeber here be sure to check out "TOUGH8" Im in love with these new SV rims! Big thanks to Matt for all the help with the wheels ill be hanging on to these for a very long time thats for sure Due to some changes in my life i have decided to start all over again with a new job. The down side of this ill be taking a massive pay cut so unfortunately modding will be stopped for a while I did pick up some used rotors for free off a mate so i can fit my SS brakes and get them painted other then that the Thunder will be coming to a slow stop. I have a couple of little things i would like todo like install the brakes, Finish off the speaker pods for the back wall and is scheduled to have a front end respray next month but other then that it will be garaged and kept clean and depending how my new job plays out may be for sale once again ( hopefully not ) Thanks everyone
The rims look badass, they suit the car to a tee. I like the last pics also. Spewing about taking a pay cut, but if you enjoy what you do its not to bad i suppose.
Those photos look epic dude. Keep it clean keep it mean EDIT: Don't sell the damn ute how much of a pay cut did you take?!?
Lets just say a little over half. The decision was not taken lightly trust me FFS!!! last week of driving the ute, Look behind me to a big flash, Cop ran a red light camera started to chase me.. No where to pull over except right out front of work Done once again.. Accused of driving a V8 on my P's, Spotted my intake and put it as a performance modification along with my fog lights being on. Also tells me he will be waiting on the side of the road in the next weeks wants the car raised, intake off and said about the wheels to big... Still have to wait for all the crap in the mail. Lucky its my last week but i will be making my bay more stealth removing all the blue hosing and removing the growler sticker But the ute will be off the road for a bit
Very unlucky dude.. That being said your car looks pretty tough there haha. What did he pull you over for initially besides modifications?
Damn man that sucks about the boys in blue Car was looking so good too Love tough8, meanest looking maloo around imo Pretty sure he posted it on jdmst aswell haha So what happens now? Did you lose your license over "illegal" performance mods? Or just a few fines? Seems as though coppers up our way love picking on commodore drivers. .... Theres a little shortass that likes picking on me whenever I go to broadmeadow, tries to get me for anything and everything When I had my s pac, he tried getting me for oem fog lights, no windscreen washer fluid, too low (legal height at the time) and for having an exhaust system which actually abided by regulation (db reading) Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk
I agree, aren't them wheels factory? Car looks sick dude! Took me to the last page to realize i am following you on instagram haha
Its been a while since I have logged on. Lifes need a little over the place at the moment Got the ute back on the road and got around to cleaning up those SS brakes I picked up a while ago Had a wheel alignment done and everything set on her right was just enjoying driving it as its now my weekend car. Yes slammed it even more... Had the IQ changed to blue to match the dash after the volume control started playing up and replaced under warranty Fitting some brand new genuine floor mats. Always wanted some just gives it that little extra touch that the rubber ones didn't have plus sliding all over the place Went on a Club VE cruise here's some shots Ready for it to go bad? Driving the girlfriend home last Thursday night. Pulled into a RBT next thing i'm thrown across the bonnet and cars defected to the **** house. Not going to give full details tho I was given a IM240 along with it instantly removed from the roads. I don't care about plates showing anymore i'm no longer the owner but the car looks completely different ( rims, Hardtop and other things now removed. Wrapped ect ) as I keep getting hunted by the same cops so heres the last photos of what it half looks like before I hurt some eyes. I guess ill update later on how it all turns out
Sucks big time man, was always a big fan of this ute. What are you driving now and what did you do with the rims?
damn I didn't think it could get better but those brake calipers look sick. Sucks about those tired ass cops. I hear over there they are more arrogant than the ones in wa. Keep us updated mate, my favourite ve to date.
Jesus thats alot of pics, lol. Nice looking care mate. Like the white on blue for the rims. What ones are on there now?
Sorry to hear the ute is off the road mate, I've seen this ute around Newy a couple of times, It looked awesome!
Rims are back on now, Have been driving a Prado and work car around it sucks Thank you very much! They are a joke over here just a shame they did what they did. Its awesome you say its your favourite VE puts a big smile on my face White was fun tho cleaning them got old real fast plus I always like change Thanks heaps mate! Small world that's for sure, you wont be seeing her in there much anymore
