Ve Csv

[maloo_]

Driving down Monash Fwy today i seen on a truck 8 red VE's with CSV badges.Had CSV on gaurds and on the back CR8.No pics sorry.

[Ryzz]

Wow ok thats interesting, for some reason i thought CSV stopped doing this. Be interesting to see what the specs are as they were producing some pretty good numbers from their older packages.

[dc_macca]

They were all butt-ugly though....



... in my opinion of course!!!!

[csv rulz]

I loved them apart from the big Whale Tale. Il never forget the first time i seen a VX Strada for the first time. It was bloddy unreal. I view CSV's as a more exclusive HSV. But after the VX CSV just seemed to stop producing cars, i know with VY they didnt do any body moderfications and after VY i dont htink they did anything at all.

[maloo_]

Thats the thing, they were VE HSV R8's with CSV badging.

[throttlehappy]

theres a vt veloce that gets around town and it has to have the ugliest spoiler ive ever seen. 320kw apparently.....

[EXCESSV]

the CSV VT Strada Extreme SiR was an insane machine.
i remember the article in motor back in the day where it popped the GTHO Phase III off the Fastest Australian Production car crown...i still think i have the article at home.

the only problem with CSV is there expensive for a HSV wannabe group.
they buy the Holden variant and badge it, interior and some engine/drivetrain mods...

Phase 3 was not the fastest Australian production car, the E49
Charger was. Phase 3 was the fastest production sedan. Just
thought I would set that straight :)

from memory I can't remember that CSV was ever out there to be wannabe HSV's, and I think that came from Peters own words. I could be wrong but CSV were out there to make fast commodores for the likes of people who wanted something more than holden/hsv were putting out.

They also did a statesman mid 90's that was not far from the pace of the mercs/bmws and also had a psuedo-tiptronic auto, all made for a customer. ripper of a limo it was but not out there to steal hsv sales.

Good to see they are going for a hit at the E-series will be a very interesting vehicle when comes out.

Good to see they are going for a hit at the E-series will be a very interesting vehicle when comes out.what i was trying to say was they do things similar to what hsv do to holdens except they arent factory backed.

they get a commodore, change badges, interior mods, some engine/drivetrain mods, brake mods, etc and sell the car

i think there a great organisation and looked at purchasing one a couple of years back.
its great to buy a new car...give it to them and make it completely unique to the way the customer wants it.


for those that wanna have a look or read up about them there site is:
http://www.csvaustralia.com

the only problem the site hasnt been updated with the car models from all the way back in VX/VY times

[bouka]

Not from CSV. HSV are exporting the VER8 to the Middle East in left hand drive and it is call the CR8 and badged as a Chevy so it was more that likely these cars that you saw on the truck. CSV did the Cross 8 in the VY (made the mags) and will not be doing anything with the VE's at this stage (other than mods of course). In saying that, keep an eye out for the next Wheels mag!

In terms of what they have done and who has the fastest production cars etc, visit their website and look under "About CSV" "Fast Facts".

Oh and they are about to launch a OTRCAI for the VE.

Chevolet Special Vehicles...

Not a bad ring to it ;)

[EXCESSV]

Oh and they are about to launch a OTRCAI for the VE.tried to look at there shop to see more details about it but the sites not working for the shop part :bawl:

that would be interesting to see what they come up with an OTRCAI for the VE.
Peters work has always been top quality and well done

[zorro]

no worries EXCESSV, I think I saw your comment from the wrong angle. Agreed CSV are the same to Holden as Brabus is to Mercedes.

Maybe CSV next big hit is with the E-series, without doubt more potent than the current HSV range. Cant wait till someone gets a pic of one

[EXCESSV]

no worries EXCESSV, I think I saw your comment from the wrong angle.no prob dude

[Chappie]

I can find out for sure if they were Peters from CSV tmorrow i have to call around there for stuff for my car! Will let you know:) P.S He sure does know how to get power out of the Holden V8s:rofl:

[maloo_]

Did you happen to notice if they were RH or LHD? :)

Did not notice if they were LHD but did have a gold Chev badge on boot.

[bouka]

As i mentioned earlier, they are not CSV cars, they are HSV CR8's, left hand drive R8's going to the middle east. Interesting that HSV are using the CSV badge!

The VE OTRCAI are brilliant. Look factory (better) and are making 12rwkw instantly and can be maf or mafless tuned. Patent has just been issued and will be available direct or from other tuners (details being finalised). Alot of R&D went into them and is a great product. Would post some pics but they are not a sponsor (interested though!).

Looks pretty.:)

What's the go though, I thought there wasn't enough room or one of these on a VE?

Are they plastic or glass, are they available now & how much?

[bouka]

Currently glass but in the process of being tooled for plastic production. The ones you see are development product and fit really well (as the pictures show) and look very good too (opinions please).

[STATIE]

(opinions please)

I don't mind it - but I like the LS7 better.:drool:

[EXCESSV]

are they using a K&N filter? what filter if not?
retains the maf too.... :yahoo:

"LUMINA CSV CR8 (RACING) 2008
Details: Exterior Black / Interior Black Leather
COMING SOON"

So definately going to the middle east. Great salesmen pics :)

[bouka]

EXCESSV, they are a K&N filter and maf stays on, but if you wish to go mafless then you simply order with no hole for maf.

[EXCESSV]

and i will go for the MAF one...if i decide to go MAFLESS later on i will just use a extension pipe longer to the one on the MAFLESS setup in the pic

[macca_779]

Nice OTRCAI. Looks much better and has a larger frontal area than the one other one that is being designed.

[bouka]

As CSV are not a forum sponsor, i am wanting to abide by forum rules and don't want to advertise. Could the moderators please contact me to arrange for CSV to become a sponsor so we can officially get this product to the forum members.

Hahaha Pete is not a real lover of the forum from what he tells me:confused: He was on here all the time up to about 2005. Do search for CSV and will find his old posts!! Personally i dont think he needs the forum for extra work and to help him sell his products his shop is allways full, and he is a real man with the now how on anything Ls1,Ls2,Ls7. He has a VE ssv in the shop at the moment and its got a stroked ls7 in it pulling MASSIVE power.:) CSV:rofl:

G'day mate. The car is a VE GTS with a tuned LS7 and it makes good power. The shop is always full and going from what you have said, the customers are happy. We are just trying to play by the forum rules. Any one with any questions on the OTRCAI can contact CSV. I think the pictures speak for themselves and the product has all the necessary patent protection and we just want the enthusaists and the tuners to see what is available for their VE's. The product will be officailly launched in the coming weeks but orders are being taken.

[Chappie]

We may be talking about different cars bouka!!:) But theres no question about his expertise and customer satisfaction thats for sure!!:rofl: Cheers Paul.

Not trying to plug CSV in any way, thats just my opinion:) I am sure the forum sponsors will do just as good a job to!! Their feedback is sensational:smilesandbanana:

[LJCHSV]

Peter was offering me to buy he's LS7 gts the otherday...man...what a weapon the thing sounds as tough as nails...and what an install.....shit he does good work...its good to see that guys with a bit of cash...dont have to go OVER THE BRIDGE to get good work done...keep up the good work Pete and the boys.


Cheers

[EXCESSV]

[jaykay]

Now THAT is some funny shit :lol:

Especially considering that for the last couple of years, CSV have been making thousands of dollars by selling inferior fibreglass OTRs directly stolen off a forum sponsor (Power Torque!!) :flipoff:

So spill the beans - how much?

And I heard that they MAY come with some sort of mail order type tune or something similar too?

If I understand / heard correctly, an authorised (for want of a better word) dealer may get a disc with the tweaks, not sure if a DIY install is an option.

I took up the offer of the install for the price I paid. So I am happy.


Cheers

And I heard that they MAY come with some sort of mail order type tune or something similar too?the price was posted by bouka a couple of days back but deleted as CSV arent a sponsor.

and yeah a tweak needs to be made in diagnostics mode. Peter explained it all to me but i know nothing about tuning cars so i will leave it to Dan when he installs mine
