can i add that i love this car to bits, i cant get enough of driving it, i did a 20km from a friends house back home, which included a bit of a mountain, and corners, up and downs at speeds of 90, 80, 60, 50, the computer averaged out 6.3 lt/100km when i got home, you cant ask for anything better than that

 

[VT Berlina 07]

nice car man!, i will be trading the VT within 6mths to but a VZ Acclaim Sedan:thumbsup: awesome fuel economy, i had one for a hire car-went from syd-narrabri (650ks) drove around for 2 days for a total of 930ks to a tank go figure!

Damn that pretty good!!!

 

[andyman]

thanks, its booked in at holden tomorrow for some warranty jobs so hopefully they'll be taken care of, and hopefully ill be getting tint soon,

i have to pay back mum and dad a little bit of money first before i can do much with it but after that things should go together pretty smoothly,

any recomendations like either a sv6/ss or berlina/lumina/calais or vz monaro bar?

 

[andyman]

oh and what do you guys think of these wheels, or would vz ss wheels look better?????

 

[ashleysnep]

personaly i would go SS wheels cause i like to keep it holden and like the look of em to, but your chocie. Nice car btw.

After driving a manual ill never buy a auto (not that i did, got the car for free) dont know how much conversions for VZ's are tho

thanks for that, yeah i like the ss wheels but that cost a fair bit more and usually they have tyres that are worn out,

with the manual conversion, i looked at mine than had a good look at a 6sp ute at work and i believe it would be a pretty straight forward swap, it may have to be towed to holden to get the computer re-programmed unless i buy a front cut from somewhere and swap the ecu over..... but thats in a few years time yet, but theres no harm in thinking

 

[ashleysnep]

yeah i thought my conversion would be a year ahead or so but have got the doner car already and will proberly do it in a month or so. Yeah those tires are always a bit more expensive and come with worn tires, anless you find ones that were taking off stright from when the car was bought. But they do look good and i wouldnt go any other... im thinking of getting VY SS's for mine.
