Here's my new beast. Had to get rid of the ute as we have a new addition to the family. At least I got to keep a V8! Picked this up second hand, still in its first year of rego with only 8,500 on the clock (it's cheaper than the SS ute to pay off as well). Came with the Calais rims which I don't think look too bad. Gotta love the woodgrain in the centre console! :p
Cheers,

I wreckon the VY SS wagon is the sexiest wagon ever made. It has the sexy SS front minus the ugly back, my choice of car if I had to lug a family around. They look like 17s tho drew? Correct me if im wrong. I'd go 18's and dump it :)

Yeah, factory wheels are 17's. I've been tempted to fit VX GTS wheels or something similar, but lack of funds and spending all my money on go fast stuff stops that happening :)

[SenatorMike]

Yeah i love the SS wagon's. Would have brought the Mrs one, but got this berlina at a good price & it had the sunroof & she like's climate control :rolleyes: it had 17inch HBD wheels but i did'nt like them So put on the 18inch VYSS rims which I think suit it much better :D

[Avalanche]

:D Nice wagon thread. Any way of getting my avalanche picture up????? :) I have a nice front on shot , which gives u an idea on how wide they are.

Thanx

Thanks dickie knee for posting my wagon (Holden57).

anyone with ideas or comments please let me know

[NickS]

This is what I got because a Monaro wasn't practicle, then a year later I thought "stuff it" and got a Coupe 4 also ... just a bit harder to get the kids in and out of the Coupe !!

If anyone’s interested to see pictures of the beast, please mail me with their email address, I will send them a couple of pics to post, plus a picture of what happens to a 4L60E with AWD when you go over the 400 kW mark. Cheers

PS. Hopefully be back on the road by Friday with the only Adventra in the world with a 4L80E Auto, and chasing 1.6 for 60' and 11's. (from any street corner) :D

[NickS]

Nice one.. You wouldn't want to take it offroad.. hehe

Your right there, probably not really what HSV had in mind :lol: Good fun on dirt roads though, just prefers nice flat ones that you don't have to slow down for !!

LS1 Wagon love your rear bar and exhaust work, where did you get that skirt from?

cheers mate. :) the rear skirt is from a vy ss wagon, and i had the kit done at emtech automotive.

[ITS5.7]

Thanks LS1 Wagon I have a fibreglass one from ss automotive in Sydney on mine which is also black, seeing yours and how good it looks with the twin pipes has got me thinking I should get a second hole cut in mine.
Anyway love your wagon looks tough as keep up the good work.

Cheers

[LS1_Wagn]

thanks again ITS5.7. just incase you meant who cut the second exhaust hole in the rear skirt, D&T here in adelaide did it for me when they fitted the dual outlets. :) having tips on each side really balances the rear end nicely i reckon. got any pictures of your ride mate?

[exploder]

vxtreem, ya shoulda gotten the VY SS wagon ones, they are tinted.. woulda looked heaps nicer imo.. but sweet looking wagon non-theless


The series 2 SS wagon tail lights aren't tinted. The do have a black ring around each of the globes instead of the silver, carrying on the theme from the head lights.

[LS1_Wagn]

the edges of them are also black :) i looked for some ss wagon lights for mine, but couldn't locate any, so i tinted the edges myself with some niteshades stuff. suits dark cars nicely

[an-D]

yeah as stated, they are tinted around the edges. one of my black rings came off though, will have to pull apart the light and glue it back on :(

[R8888]

some nice rides in here guys... always been a fan of the wagons since my old mans old hq wagon days...

About time to get the thread moving along again.
This is my 2004 VY2 SS wagon. Had it for about 20 months now, but took me a year to find it. Came with the leather, Climate and 6 speed and have since fitted 18 x 8.5 Speedy Spyder rims, twin 2.5 Difillipos, 2 hole mod and next will be sorting suspension with super low rears, koni adjustables and adjustable Radius Rod kit...thinking swaybars too.
Waiting to get Extractors, Cats, OTR and Mafless tune, but may get a cam in there first to save $$. Diff gears, Throttle body, Ripshift...it's all on that bloody long list :bawl:
Below is my old VT Berlina 6 pot....missus loved it but was a damn slug....and an auto! Did look pretty good though.

The wagon belongs to Holden I just posted the pixs up.

There is plenty of threads on installing VZ Monaro front ends on other models. Wagon is no harder that sedan.

[banarcus]

I love these V8 wagons guys. I'd love to replace my old faithful ED 5ltr wagon for a VYII SS wagon. Holden has it all over the 'performance' wagon segment.

These were available in any colour you wanted as long as it was turbine grey and pretty spesh for a wagon I reckon.

Leather, climate, international rims, pack, trim etc, FE2, roof bars blah blah blah ... loving it immensely. Some minor mods are planned which are currently under negotiation :D but this one won't win any dyno or drag comps which is just fine by me.

Thanks Mike ... I'm very much converted to the "Goon side" now and good to know the VY went to an appreciating owner.

You're as bad as Nick :lol: you have too many cars to chose from :lol: and each is as nice if not better than the next. :) You'd never pick the VT for a VT ... nice conversion. :bravo:

Even the mudflaps look good on your VY ... that might have to be my first "performance mod" :D

http://home.alphalink.com.au/~nbaxter/Images/VX/bumpersml.jpg

I've gotten some more stuff for my bumper upgrade. I got the light shrouds for like 27 bucks shipped and I gotta get the headlights next. I found a set for $450. I should get away with doing this whole job for less than 900 painted if I can find a good painter. I'm also thinking about getting my bonnet done at the same time. Freshen it up and get rid of all the stone chips.

I got some new LED tail lights too that arrived today. If i fit them I'll post up a pic.


EDIT: I believe this wagon thread should be in the General Non-Powertrain section along with the Ute thread and the Barge thread.

EDIT: I believe this wagon thread should be in the General Non-Powertrain section along with the Ute thread and the Barge thread.

No, because a "Post your pics" thread such as these is not a technical discussion.
In fact, your are posting all your upgrade info so far in the wrong thread. This thread is for posting pics of wagons only. You should create a new thread of your own in the Your Ride section for details of the update you are doing

I like the wagon however I do have concerns about it's handling capacity?

Can anyone give me feedback on what it handles like?

Thinking about getting the mrs one?

Handling to do what? They handle pretty well for what they are, not as well as the sedan of course, but unless you're doing something out of the ordinary I doubt you'll notice it in the day to day average driving.

[Nidz]

So Mike on here helped me out (Thanks for that) and I got the rest of the bits I need now to finish the project. All I need now is a cheap painter who can do my bonnet and front bar..

Hi mate. that is such a great shot, I had to have a fiddle. This version for you now presents in a Bushfire glow tinge to the skyline and reflection on the side of your very shiny wagon. Nice.

BTW, what region is that? Somewhere between Albury and Gundagai?

Good work Dave, good to see it up finally. Thats a pretty good time down the strip!!

Got a few questions.... You got a pic of the front, as I've seen these HBD lips going cheap as on ebay and would like to get one soon!
What is the Seldo upgrade on the projector lights? One of the HID conversions??
Haha and go the mud flups ;) I should have left mine on considering my whole street and driveway is all dirt :(

Nah Dave my Berlina International Wagon was much faster than that in its younger days.

It has 255,000 kms on it now and climbing fast but will be gone soon for one of those wiz bang new VE ones.

I spent a lot with the upgrades as well.

Only kidding mate yours looks the goods.

This time around I am going to keep the VE fairly basic if I can control the urge. ( Lower,tune,20's and brakes,maybe exhaust ,extractors and Orssom )

Need any spare parts for yours ?

How many kms on yours ?

Mine is not worth a great deal on the trade due to the kms but I think I got a great deal on the VE. ( I hope ).

All the best

Mike

Just noticed you were Tiger SS at one time.
Did you ever get that SS intake thing to fit on your VT ?

I think it's the way it's parked, it looks a good height from the drivers side but a bit high from the passengers.

Nice.

Few photos of the Calais V before a few things are done over the next few months.

First attempt with photobucket looks like I better try again

Must be some resolution thing I suppose !!

Eager to hear about the mods and the progress ... now where are my wheels???? :D

I'm not much a fan of the stock Sportswagon wheels. The HSV ones I think suit it much better.

[VEW49]

Hi all.... I just got my new VE sv6 Wagon and am just wanting to clarify something. I'm about to get 22x8.5 on it and wanted to check with people that 22s are no issue to just put straight on???

If they're all good....pics coming soon!

[zaim]

Man!!!!!!!! I'm tossing and turning for my next car to be either an Golf GTi or a VE Calais V Wagon LS2 on gas! Those wagons looks so damn fine....

[CSP]

or a VE Calais V Wagon LS2 on gas!


LOL!!! WTF would you run it on gas for? Can't afford petrol, don't but the car...

[DaveHAT]

I don't get it ... how do you BUT a car? :confused:

Maybe he prefers to spend his money on an LPG install as opposed to buying stupid number plates?
:feedtroll:

Typo - should have been "buy".

$60 for plates isn't a big deal to me :D

Im on the hunt for a new wagon if anyone can help...a VN LE HSV wagon or VR clubsport , actually any early HSV wagon im after....pm if you got something...thanks

[DaveHAT]

what's wrong with my number plates? and i plan on buying the car with it already installed if i go ahead with it thank you

:lol: Zaim you seem to have completely missed the point of my post. There's nothing wrong with your number plates. :)

My comment was based on this ... Australian LS1 and Holden Forums - View Single Post - My Own Personal Stinger Missile... (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=1359982&postcount=83)

Thus, my previous comment about perhaps you'd prefer to spend your money on a VE wagon with LPG ... as opposed to stupid "look at me imsofkncool" number plates. ;)

Make sense? Hope so. :cheers:

How good are wagons though? You don't get indepth discussion like this in the sedan, ute and coupe threads. :lol: :goodjob:

Dave is actually a great fella & Like Dave I run both My LS1 wgn's on LPG & I can tell you Mate I can easily afford the petrol but I choose to run them on LPG & they both work very very well on it:bow:

Not a knob comment at all... Just my opinion that running a new V8 on gas is stupid. And I'm entitled to my opinion, as is everyone else. Including Holden, who by the way don't release any V8s with a gas setup. Hmmm... Wonder why?

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum but have been enjoying looking at everyone's wagons and reading about them. I've had my SS-V Wagon since last August, one of the earlier ones running around.

It's got 20's on it at the moment and heading up to the Russo workshop shortly for some beefing up with exhaust, OTRCAI and tune so will post some photos of it after all of that.

Keep posting those photos, love seeing the wagons.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Here's 1 of mine recently.

Traded... See thread here: Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=113526)

[crv8au]

The 20" wheels look so cool on the wagons. Although the price of rubber is an issue....

[CSP]

Why is it an issue? They're cheaper than the 19 inch rears on the Clubby!!!

Here's some updated pics of mine...
