- HBD VT V6 5sp Exec.
Hey people thought id share some pics & info of my 99' VT Commodore Executive HBD.
Its an optioned up Executive with power windows, ABS & other little things.
Engine is a 3.8L V6 with a 5sp Getrag manual.
Has 240,000km.
It has the factory HBD bodykit.
I bought it off me mate who didnt wanna sell it but a work ute was more pratical.
Its had a very hard life with me mate & it has taken its toll on it & im slowly fixing bits & pieces up so far new engine mounts, power steer pump, rear k-frame (old one snapped) & little things like that. While k-frame was out i replaced the drive shafts & fitted an LSD.
Engine Mods Cat back exhaust (sounds wicked), K&N panel filter, Gates Racing serpentine belt, removed mesh & polished out AFM.
Drivetrain Getrag 5sp manual, 3.08 LSD
Suspention King Spring super lows all round & a camber kit in the rear.
Brakes/Wheels ROH Fury 17in alloys, DBA Gold slotted & drilled rotors. Bendix Ultimate pads.
Body Factory HBD bodykit, under-car neons, window tint.
Interior Painted dash fascia, leather trimmed gear boot, GTR instrument cluster facia, blue LED interior light bulb, AutoMetre throw overs, SS floor mates.
Sound System Ebay special DVD etc player with screen, Pioneer splits up front & Pioneer 6x9's in the parcel shelf powered by a Kenwood amp. Kenwood sub in custom Kenwood box powered by a Rockford Fosgate amp.
Future plans include:
Hitting up Mace & getting most of their bolt-on Ecotec mods.
Extractors & high-flo cats.
Clean up engine bay.
Respray bodykit.
Get gearbox rebuilt (2nd gear synchro stuffed)
What ever else takes my fancy. Ideas?
Now for the pics. Sorry car is dirty. Damn roadworks!
The whole arse end dropped outta the car at work. Im a 2nd year apprentice mechanic at Victory Ford.
The arse end on the ground minus the diff. You can see the crack in the k-frame. Look above the RH drive-shaft
