Slammed E-series Gts

[vyssbeast]

Hi all

I was gonna post this in "the lowered gallery" but thought it was worthy of its own thread...

Spotted this in my area a week ago, then the other day spotted it at a local carwash had to do a u-turn n get a better look ... now its timie to share

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/vyssbeast/gts.jpg

Is anyone else in love ??? :love:

This is how a VE should be lowered IMO

*sorry bout the sh!tty quality*

[vt350phantom]

cant see the pic mate

[CarlFST60L]

I wanna lower my R8 after seeing that...

Just waiting for someone else to be a test dummy for it, if the ride is still soft and comfortable, im in!

[Ryzz]

:spew: that looks crap, thats going way to far imho, too low. Maybe its just the photo though??? :hmmm:

[vt350phantom]

ahhhhh i still cant see the pic :cussing:

[vyssbeast]

It needs to be seen in person, i wish i had a decent camera (just a shitty phone camera none of the 2MP crap) but its amazing in person

[TommyVTss]

i think thats one of the best looking R8's iv seen very nice indeed.

[ROGUE]

looks HAWT!

[vyssbeast]

i think thats one of the best looking GTS iv seen very nice indeed.

Should have made that clear in my first post

[Black_vtss]

I think it looks tuff, wonder how they go for undercarriage clearance.

[gollum]

looks HOT !!!:love: best car/ colour combo i've seen !!!

[clixanup]

Imagine how much better that would look without the spoiler... :idea:

[NickS]

My opinion, looks great ... would I do it ? Nope, the car would be trashed in a few weeks. If ours wasn't the family transport that went in and out of shopping centres every week and over speedbumps every day, maybe, but not for a daily driver.

On another note ... I love the spoiler :lol:

[LJCHSV]

I don't say much on here...but thats tough.....and to Mark and Nick..have you noticed the the blokes that give the negative comments about things are usually the ones that have vp ss and vr s paks in the their rides section:yahoo:

[jas_the_ace]

Yeah... anyway

um that car looks freaking mad!

[ssgirl2]

Seems I have missed something, unless you are backhanding Ryzz somehow??

Back on topic...that looks really nice :)

SS

[Dane VN V8]

I am confused, every USER NAME has Validated or Un-Validated underneath there name Or Sponsor or Moderator, etc. YOURS has nothing? Why? I assume you are validated but it doesn't say you are?

[shawie]

one word.... TOUGH.
like nick said though would hate to go over any speedbumps.
but if its just a crusier that is one hell of a car.

[Ryzz]

When the system detects that someone's email is bouncing, they get moved into a different group until their email is fixed. This group doesn't have a label like "Validated, Non Vaidated, Sponsor, etc"

[GTS LSA]

Would look great on a flat free way











Wonder what it will look like without the front & rear facia once they are dragged off??????










IMHO;)

Oh ok, thanks mate.

Dane

[WIKED]

Thanks for the pic.

Looks much better IMHO

[`redoctober]

Oh my god..

That is pure car porn, I love it! Wouldn't want to drive it though :lol:

[macca33]

:spew: that looks crap, thats going way to far imho, too low. Maybe its just the photo though??? :hmmm:

Have to say that I'm with Ryzz on this one, on one aspect. Yep, the looks are there, but for practicality and EVERYDAY driving, it is way too low.

Cheers

[csv rulz]

It looks awesome.

Would i ever do it? no friggin way.
Unless its a show car than its just plain stupidity

[XLR8 V8]

While it looks the goods. why would you buy a GTS and then totally ruin the MRC effectiveness by dumping it like that? Might as well have bought a Clubby

[WIKED]

Well it looks great but I agree that driving it wouldn't be great going into sloped driveways [like mine] and the like scraping it all the time.

[highlander_69r]

i like it, its impractical for myself but it sure looks sweet

[OLS108]

While it looks the goods. why would you buy a GTS and then totally ruin the MRC effectiveness by dumping it like that? Might as well have bought a Clubby

yeah i gotta agree with this.
looks Great though

[RED R8]

While it looks the goods. why would you buy a GTS and then totally ruin the MRC effectiveness by dumping it like that? Might as well have bought a Clubby

Are you sure the MRC hasn't stuck the car to the large metal manhole cover its parked on :idea: .

[VTSS195i]

Looks absolutely awesome! Love it - would drop my VE the same way if had one at the moment.

[mustanger]

Yeah, it might look good,but whats the point if you can`t drive it.:doh: I think we have all been there and done that. Lowering it that low does look hot,but when you are entering or leaving a driveway and it scrapes all the way ,you sometimes want to bury your head in the sand. Just my 2 cents worth........John

[`redoctober]

Just a thought.. Maybe it's airbagged?

[ballbreaker]

Iam a FORD man,BUT thats 1 TUFF GTS congrats good work,f----n TUFFFFFFFFFF.

This is how a VE should be lowered IMO

*sorry bout the sh!tty quality*

If you don't get off on this.....check your pulse buddy, ...you're DEAD !!

[badnews]

best VE i have seen to date. perfect colour, perfect stance. doesnt look like it would scrape everywhere to me. you know when you go up driveways you dont have to hit them head on at 10k's an hour, seems some people on here have a different opinion though. however speed bumps may be a problem but how often do you hit them? well i canberra i rarely do.

[HazzaHSV]

Love it! Love the colour, love the road presence. Looks super tough!

[GN3GTO]

Granted the photo isn't the best but that is a freakin' animal - you serioulsy can't beat the GTS in black.

The drop looks awsome regardless of ride IMO.

[CarlFST60L]

I cant get my R8 up and down those big curved gutters without angle, imagine with this!

Looks seriously hot though!

[HSVQUE]

looks good.. i hate the spoiler though.. pitty the pic is shitty quality.

[clubbie]

Looks fantastic.

I have to do about 5 speed humps just to get to my work so not for me...oh and another problem...I DON'T HAVE A GTS.:cussing:

BTW does that rear exhaust tip on the left look a little squashed?

Clubbie

[vyssbeast]

Sorry bout the pic quality fellas, 2yr old phone ... Shoulda taken one of the front too, but he was standing there didnt wanna over do it ...my bad :doh:

[Bomi]

I reckon it looks the goods. The way the VE have their exhaust set up is great, its so tucked up and outa the way that you could lower it that much. Would still scrape but more chassis then exhaust.



NickS, get some air bag susspension in the GTS mate!



Troy :)

[RED R8]

That is the best looking E I have seen to date I would love to see it with the boot spoiler gone ( photoshoppers ) but I would hate to own it as it would be a nightmare.

[Ghosn]

While it looks the goods. why would you buy a GTS and then totally ruin the MRC effectiveness by dumping it like that? Might as well have bought a Clubby

I guess he wanted a lowered GTS not a lowered R8?

Some people prefer looks over ride quality so good luck to him. I think it looks awesome but practicality wise, it's hard to tell exactly how much clearance he has with that pic.

When I get one in a few months time, the plan for me is to lower it and remove wing.

[`redoctober]

Exactly, plus which would be worth more in the future: a Clubby, or a GTS?

I still think that if it really is as low as this pic portrays it to be, it may just be airbags, I reckon if someone went to the efforts of lowering a GTS they wouldn't want to ruin it on a speed bump or a driveway.

[xploit]

I am in LOVE

that is absoloutely stunning...

id love them to engineer airbag suspension for the VE's..

Id be the first with my hand up...

Note to sponsors: If you need a test mule :D:D im in..

haha..

Cheers :D :p

Dave.

That would look also even more horn without the spoiler me thinks.

[NickS]

Several people in this thread reckon he wouldn't have any problems ... have you ever driven an E Series GTS ???

Mine is stock height, check out the under side of the front & rear bumpers ... lots of scratches !!! This thing would loose it's front bar in less than day if you tried to use it around Sydney. How often do I see a speedhump ? Every 2nd street around here has them !!! I have into my work carpark so I don't loose the front bar.

Having said all that ... I still reckon it looks awesome.

:D

[maloo_]

No speedhumps in Chapel St.

[jas_the_ace]

speedhumps at Rockdale Maccas :p

[vyssbeast]

Na not airbags, i know which shop lowered it for him too ... Cant remember if i asked details on what springs etc but pretty sure it was resetting the stockies (dont quote me, ive already forgotten)

[CarlFST60L]

Nick, exactly what i was getting at... My E R8 has scratched front AND REAR bars.. i have a tow bar, and the mounts for the connector are smashed to peices from a shell servo, admit i had the boat on though... Its like me old VY was when it was lowered...

Dam it looks so good though!

[BLACK1]

It would be interesting to hear from the boys at HSV and get their comments on the effect of the lowering of a MRC equipped car.
I hear all the stories about lowering a GTS ruining the MRC action but are these stories totally correct.????

I wonder if they read threads on our forum ??
If so a reply would be appreciated.

BTW The car looks sensational at that height...

[HSVQUE]

seriously speed humps arnt the issue... unless there the stupid ones that they have in elwood beach carpark here in victoria.. drive ways and entrances are the major issues.. some servo's, take away joints etc..

Supose the car could be air bagged but its to hard to tell from the pic exactly how low the car is.

[Holden Man]

That looks friggin hot... perfect stance. (good angle too)

Who cares if he can't drive it without the risk of losing the bars !

[NickS]

Who cares if he can't drive it without the risk of losing the bars !

Who cares ??? It won't look real good for long if the bars get ripped off ... will it.

:doh:

That ride height would ruin the performance of a standard suspension package, let alone MRC - you'd be bouncing along on the bumpstops.
If you lowered it a small amount I think the MRC would still be affected, but there would be some parameters set in to cope with it considering if you load up the boot and the back seat with people and gear, the car will dip a fair amount anyway

[Wezza]

That looks awesome!! I love it. :)

[Greeny34]

I'm going against the flow and personally I dont like it at all.

The Black looks the goods but I'm biased.

I just dont get lowered cars :rolleyes: and imo the ride height on the GTS is perfect as is. (no offence to anyone who has lowered their cars)

[Holden Man]

:doh:

Sorry that was my attempt at humour !!

[kaniSSta]

Damn thats sexy :)

[[Mitch]]

That looks really nice. Some may say it's not practical to drive but it's his car and if he chooses to have it like that then good for him. It's certainly an awesome car, hopefully one day i'll get one.

[gen3ss]

That looks awesome, should be a factory option i think!:deal:

[WIKED]

When I buy mine very soon I dont think I could lower it too much as I would scrape the front at the start of my driveway but standing there it looks better thats for sure.

[Invasionss]

Wholly crap!

I often ask myself why people lower their cars this much?

I've only lowered mine enough so it looks good otherwise i'd need to change the chamber setup, plus when i fill the back of the ute up with crap, couple of hundred of kilos or so, she sits low.

For a show car, yes, this is fuming shit hot just like lastnights curry, but as a daily driver, you'd be damaging the undercarriage wherever you drove!

Good luck to the owner!!!

[vpcptr]

i have also seen it many of times it looks crazy:bow:

[INANGR]

looks insane, just wat all the e series need..

[sir-jenkos]

damm thats hot. .
bloke at my work just bought a black GTS. . will have to show him this pick and see if it temps him. .

i wonder how effectice the MRC would be with it lowered that far. .

Jenkos

lol since when can you comment on the practicality of a low car...urs is the lowest vz ive every seen!!! sexiest ive ever seen too ;)

[BNKRUP]

looks unreal, love his work!

[JoHnSeY]

Loving it, has got to be bagged

[lsi vy]

its my mates. just put headers exhaust cam ect the other day its looks and sounds crazy, the rims were painted a darker colour,

[vyssbeast]

Who did the work for him?? and what power did it make??

and

Speaking of painted rims

saw a white R8 with black GTS rims at the DF factory the other day ... looked VERY nice

[VY Monaro]

That looks hot :love:

[VT_Jim]

Now thats a beast

[lsi vy]

Who did the work for him?? and what power did it make??

and

Speaking of painted rims

saw a white R8 with black GTS rims at the DF factory the other day ... looked VERY nice

it made over 300 rwkw, horsepower automotive did the work in deerpark.

it looks tuff.

[davomcd]

Sh*t hot! Love the wing too!

Looks and power, awesome ride. :werd:

[Mungrel]

Looks awesome, but i'd be too scared to drive it :(
Hope hes got a good sump-guard!

[CarlFST60L]

it made over 300 rwkw, horsepower automotive did the work in deerpark.

it looks tuff.

I didnt see every post, but what did it have done to get 300kwrw?

[NickS]

its my mates. just put headers exhaust cam ect the other day its looks and sounds crazy, the rims were painted a darker colour,

There you go Carl ... :p

On another note, stop painting the rims guys, they just look dirty !!! Then again, it's your car.

[vyssbeast]

There you go Carl ... :p

not painted gloss black on a white car... pretty nice! shoulda taken a photo, but didnt wanna look like a tool infront of daren (DF)

[evlwag]

thats tuff

[ace185]

That is hot...very nice

[motomk]

Seen another nearby to where vyssbeast is, without the rear spoiler.

[DaveHAT]

While it looks the goods. why would you buy a GTS and then totally ruin the MRC effectiveness by dumping it like that? Might as well have bought a Clubby

Nicely summarised Kris, HSV spend all that money developing the MRC so that it works a treat, then someone goes and does that.

I'd imagine that with that ride height and on 20" rims the ride would almost have to be pretty harsh. A shame to potentially ruin a fantastic canvas like that, but each to their own I guess.

Looks - :thumbsup:
Practicality - :cussing:

[SKAIFEY]

That looks AWESOME!!! Thats what those flared guards are for. Its amazing what shocks and springs can do to the overall outlook of a beast like that. What a car! Dario.

[vyssbeast]

Seen another nearby to where vyssbeast is, without the rear spoiler.

how did it look without the spoiler moto? did the spoilerless look suite it like it does the VYs or better with it on?

[scotty333]

Who cares if its not drivable. Would any of us do it? No, but lets take appreciation for what it is.....a damn fine looking machine. That thing looks off its guts...love the look. I love it bcos it wont be my kit in peices in a week lol....but looks unreal.

[185iboy]

know the owner of that car, his names zork. bloke with too much cash and hangs out at watergardens carpark everynight

[slammed 50]

That thing sit perfectly good find

[Ghosn]

know the owner of that car, his names zork. bloke with too much cash and hangs out at watergardens carpark everynight

Are you able to get some high quality pics for us to gork at pls?

[VZ clubsport r8]

:diddy:Looks hot but too low for a daily,perfect for a weekender.would that suspention be chopped or proffesionaly done?

[vyssbeast]

it made over 300 rwkw, horsepower automotive did the work in deerpark.

it looks tuff.

ls1vy, are they by any chance your plates on a black vyss?

[WH Grange]

that is one sexy car :bow:

[LJCHSV]

Hmmm everytime i see this car, i think..where's that cheque book! Maybe i should take it down from being my screen saver:)

[HSV271]

WOW... Bloody awsome. Seriously thinking my cubbie should be at least 2" or even more when I lower it, but then speed humps and crappy roads become a problem.

:woohoo::woot::flip3:

[Whizza]

i still cant take a shining to the ve's the only ones i like are the granges .

[Roger]

Looks good - just impractical for just about anything
