VR V-8 SS

[Deuce]

Today I tidied my Spark Leads, and separated them correctly with proper separators for 9mm leads.

Was fiddly as anything!! but in the end it Looks Good

Amazing looking car mate. Well done.

Refitted Spotlights today,


also drilled holes for Tran's oil cooler. I've just got to make brackets and run lines now.

Mounting Oil cooler brackets was annoying me. :realangry
although now I have made the brackets. I just need to drill holes, and mount them.

So fitted Nolathane Sway Bar bushes instead. I probably should have released the end links to make maneuvering the sway bar easier, but decided to just muscle it back on! Gosh what a work out!!
looks good, hope it corners better too!


Oh, and attached is a pic of my transmission pan that I spoke of many post's back

Rear Brakes

So the latest upgrade is putting VE calipers and 315mm vented disc's on the rear,
I got it all done, including Modifying back plates in one night,

Looks Great -


10.30pm went to stick the wheels back on and . . . . .


So the next night, took a little off the back of the caliper sliders,


And then back on with the wheels! All done! (story makes it sound easy, but I was fuming!@! :axe



The next night was a much easier task; painted the wiper arms. :spot on:

How much did you take off and how much clearace is there now ?

 

[Jarrid]

Hahah funny I want Ve brakes for my ss but only on the front and I heard you need minimum of 18" with Ve brakes ?

 

[Deuce]

How much did you take off and how much clearance is there now ?

The circled area is where I needed to take some meat off,
around 2-3mm was enough

Hey Jarrid, yeah if I did the front's again I would go for VE calipers as they have slightly smaller piston's so retain a better pedal feel.
Not sure what size wheels you need though; it would depend on your disc size. I'm sure there would be a 16 or 17" wheel option available??

nice man, i love the white vr-vs ss's. I had a black one but have always preferred the white with red stripe look.

lol my new car is red with a white stripe...

Still got you VT calipers? If you do I might be interested in buying them off you, But not for a few months i'm still a broke student. If someone is willing to buy them between now and them dont worry about hanging on to them for me


Those brake calipers look way sexier than the dirty old factory ones on me car haha.
