Black VY SS series 2

[S2VYSS]

I thought it was about time I pulled my finger out posted some pics of my SS up. I have had it since June last year and picked it up with 74000km on the clock. The back seat look like it had never been sat on and the trim is perfect.

I haven't done any mods yet as I have been a bit broke, but hopefully they will start soon. I have to get a new bonnet before the mods start after a little bit of a lose of concentration at the lights

Enjoy the pics

nice mate, leather seats are very, LOUD, to say the least. Could use a wash too mate. Beautiful car mate.

[S2VYSS]

Yeah they were pics my bro took along time ago. I notcied after I posted them that the car was dirty! LOL

I love the interior and wasn't really in the market for a new car but this was in too good of a condition to pass up really

[ACUZED]

yea lucky score with this one mate looks in really good condition the previous owner really must of looked after it withe the leather seats as well looking very good

[S2VYSS]

Yeah the interior is very good, but the rims were really badly gutter rashed and the paint has a few stratches and marks on it. Nothing that a proper detail wont fix or maybe a quick respray

[vxSSilver]

well you already kno i hate you :D

i got 2 out of 4

you got 3 out of 4 :(

black / manual / leather / sunroof!

i'll kill the person i find with 4 out of 4 !!

[S2VYSS]

I wanted one with a sunroof. The guy around the corner from me had the combo we both wanted mate and I was going to give him my number and say if you ever want to sell it let me know, but I never got around to it and then I went passed his house and seen a red VE there instead! Spewing!

I thinking I pull the tow bar off this weekend and then it wont look so dad and mum spec! LOL

[iloveholden]

:) Nice combo mate. We have a 6ltr VZ SS black with Red leather interior and its one of the best colour combos. The seats always look brighter in the pics than real life i reckon.

[S2VYSS]

Yeah I agree on the seats looking brighter in pics. how they look in pics is how they look after I have cleaned them meguiars leather cleaner

[vxSSilver]

Good luck with the tow ball!

i had one the same on mine, and you have to take the bumper off and theres about 150 bolts to get it undone!

deffinately worth it as it will hit on every thing once you lower it!

[S2VYSS]

Did you do it yourself? How hard was it?

[vxSSilver]

i took the bumper off and most of the bolts, but there were 2 i couldnt do, paid my local exhaust shop $20 and he got it off.

Aslong as u take the bumper off for them they wont charge u bugger all to do it, he said doing the bumper is the worst bit

[S2VYSS]

Ok mate, thanks for that

[hotbox]

Black with red leather:bow:

Looks nice man bring on the mods:)

[vschouten]

Nice. I like a black car with red interior. But I'm Biased.

[S2VYSS]

Black with red leather:bow:

Looks nice man bring on the mods:)

Thanks mate, your monaro is the sh*t as well!


Nice. I like a black car with red interior. But I'm Biased.

Its hard not to love the combo isnt!

[vyc4b]

fark that interior is MINT, well done mate.

[FJ20]

love it.. black with the red just sets it offff

[S2VYSS]

fark that interior is MINT, well done mate.

Thanks mate, your interior is awesome mate. I cant wait to see your car in person. There are a few things that need fixing in the interior, like new gearboot and floor matts


love it.. black with the red just sets it offff

Its a great combo and one I always wanted. Black with red leather is a timeless combo

[05BRI]

alot of red in side but looks sweet, nice ride champ

[macca33]

Very nice looking rig mate. Whilst bright, I reckon the interior sets it off.

As for the towbar, ring a Haymen Reese dealer and they may take it off for a few bob. You may also have to get some holes filled, where the hitch bolts were. Or, just leave it - never know when you need to tow something, or block someone's front bumper!!

Cheers,

Macca

[TimmyG]

vey nice m8 love the red leather its very nice indeed goodluck with her.

Wont be towing anything any time soon. I'll get on to a tow bar shop soon and see what they say

[5.7VYSSUTE]

man oh man, how much I love red interior!

[Tecca]

NIIICE!!!!! love the interior :drool: and is it just me or are the VY SS's the best looking holden ever:1peek:? (I WILL own one!!!!!.....one day lol)

[Msthrottlehappy]

Looks pretty sweet. I want a vy ss in black but I think I like the black leather seats, red looks a bit bright in those picks:confused:

[S2VYSS]

Thanks for the comments guys

I looked at a couple with black trim but they were very plain to be honest. In those pics it hadn't been cleaned. When the leather is clean it is super bright and looks amazing

They are one of the best looking holden models, just cant wait to start on the mods and turning it into a nice head turning street car

[BLOOWR]

LOVE the interior, classy as

[StevieD]

Having owned a VY SS II ute (black with red leather) I love the colour scheme!

After I first bought it though I thought the red leather was a bit too lary (spelling) and wanted the grey. Sold the ute for a Red SV8 sedan with grey cloth and I also drive a silver VY II SS sedan with grey leather and I gotta say having experienced a few combo's that the red leather is the go!

[someLS1]

Did you buy your ss from a dealer on hume hwy/sydney road whatever that part of the road is called.. like not far from the ring road?

[keano]

very nice. black car red interior is the best colour scheme. planing on doing that to my car.

[S2VYSS]

Well the mods have been set back abit due to a very close call yesterday which I was lucky not to be killed in.

I was travelling down the hume highway yesterday to Cobram, were my family is from for a bit of a holiday and to help my mum out with my dad who was recently seriously assulted

I was driving through a place called kalkallo and the traffic was fairly busy. The speed limit is normally 100, but there was road works so it was 80. I was in the right hand lane with a truck in the left hand lane.

The truck was going coming up fairly quickly on another car in the left which was doing, I'm guessing around 50-60. He came up on the car really quickly and I was about at his cab with my passengers door, then he changed lanes!!!!

I just hit the brakes and pulled into the medium strap, probably hit the medium strip at 80, heading straight for a power pole brakes fully locked, I thought I missed the pole by about 2-3 feet and I managed to avoid the on coming traffic on the other side of the road by what I thought was probably 2-3 metres. All I could think was f**k this pole is going to hurt when I hit it then I was thinking I'm going to hit on coming traffic. I managed to slide in between both of them and hit a speed limit sign at about 25-30

The truck stopped and said he didnt see me there. I cant be f**ked typing any more about that!

I went back to were it happened later and found out I missed the pole by a foot. My wheel mark goes across the hole doug for the pole and we cant work out how I didnt rip the mirror off. I missed the on coming traffic, which also didnt slow down, by a metre

The damage:
-Dented the bonnet more
-Broke the front spoiler
-Buckled the left hand front rim as it hit the concrete gutter at 80
-Bent the sump guard

Below shows how much I missed the pole by and how close I got to on coming traffic

Did you buy your ss from a dealer on hume hwy/sydney road whatever that part of the road is called.. like not far from the ring road?

Yeah mate, cant remember the name right now, why? Its not wagon wheel motors I know that

[rosey]

wow thats terrible, i hate accidents now after i had my first one last year. you don't realize how serious it is till it happens to you. hope you can get your car back on the road without too much trouble. good luck mate :)

[S2VYSS]

Thanks mate. Knowing how close I was now makes it so much worse. Should know by the end of the week what is happening with it

[someLS1]

Yeah mate, cant remember the name right now, why? Its not wagon wheel motors I know that

Hahaha cool yer i remember i went to look at that car was mega keen and i rocked up to the dealer on sat an hour before it opened didnt know their opening hours....couldnt be bothered waiting an hour for them to open then went to check it out a few days later and it was gone.... i was very disapointed :( you bought my car!!! J/K very nice ride, sorry to hear about the accident but at least your alright thats the most important thing

[S2VYSS]

No way mate! Thats crazy! I seen it advertised on the sunday and went and looked at it on the monday and had all the paper work in place by the tuesday arvo!

[someLS1]

Hahaha lucky bugger yer i wanted to go look at it on Monday and the carsales ad was gone so didnt bother it only appeared on carsales on like fri the week before lol every other ss would be on carsales for weeks and months so i didnt bother rushing out on sun oh well.... I got the Calais in the end and damn happy with it a manual wouldve been nice tho should go for a cruise sometime id love to see the car

[S2VYSS]

Its looking a little busted up at the moment because of the accident. What part of melbourne are you from mate?

I know what you are saying about SS's sitting in carsales and car yards for a long time mate. There was 1 I looked when I was looking and the dealer said it would go quick, its still there LOL

What have you done to your VZ calais mate?

[someLS1]

Im from Viewbank mate North East Suburbs not far from Greensborough and all that... where abouts are you from?

Yer i know of at least one SS that didnt hang around long hahaha

Done a little bit to the Calais just the usual i guess rims dumpage, full difillipo system slowly doin a bit of a stereo setup. Just this weekend i got some exterior chrome door handles done still gotta put up pics of that...

here is my car thread all up to date except the door handles:
http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=90451

[S2VYSS]

I'm from the westside LOL. Maidstone near highpoint shopping centre

Yeah I heard the guy that brought that SS is a real wanker and trys to crush it into power poles and stuff LOL

I'll check your thread out mate

[jnrsv8]

sweet ride dude, like the interior

[unmassked]

Very nice!Black with red leather looks tough.I've been looking @ one 54 000 on the clock for $33 000.Now 2c wot sort of trade i can get on my VT SS.

[S2VYSS]

I'll get some better pics of the car when it's been fixed. The interior looks amazing after its been cleaned

I'm not sure what your VT is worth mate. I think 33000 is a bit much for a VY even with those kms. I paid 27000 for my car with 74000. I guess it depends on the quality of the car too

[Evil SS]

Wicked, Love the Black / Red combo !

[S2VYSS]

It is a great combo, the only other combo I might have gone for is silver with red leather, but I dont think I have ever seen one like that before

[S2VYSS]

Just a quick update the car is still another 6-8 weeks from being fixed due to the guy changing his phone number, however he did admit to the police that he was in the wrong and that he did cause the accident. Thankfully the police have a number on which he can be contacted

Just sucks that it will be another 2 months before it is fixed now

On another note, I did pick up a set of ultra low king springs from a mate which I wil install after I get the car fixed

[S2VYSS]

Update

I'm still wanting for the insurance company to get the police report and chase the truck driver up. Its getting beyond a joke now really. Its been almost 3 months now and its still not fixed

Once its fixed the mods will start and should be done by C4C this year in Melbourne

[vyc4b]

good stuff mate......

[vxSSilver]

far out mate! it really is beyond a joke, taking way to long now!

time to get cranky at the insurance ppl i think!


i hope its fixed soon!

[S2VYSS]

good stuff mate......

As soon as its fixed, we are going cruising!


far out mate! it really is beyond a joke, taking way to long now!

time to get cranky at the insurance ppl i think!


i hope its fixed soon!

They have till the end of next week and heads will start to roll. They are waiting on the police report which is taking time. Just sick of the bursted front spoiler and stockie on the front! LOL

[vyc4b]

yep, for sure mate.....

[DT6527]

love the seats....love the car.

[S2VYSS]

Thanks mate, in those pics it is really in need of a detail

Once it's fixed, I'll get some better pics and post them up

[S2VYSS]

A bit of an update on the SS

Plus I have some custom plates for the car too

Not yet sorry mate, was going to get some pics today but I have found that after the panel shop did the repairs to my car they did a cut and polish and they put swirl marks in my paint work. Will get some pics during the week if not after the red walls on sunday

[vxSSilver]

hurry up with the pics, i wanna see what it looks like on the black rims!

gotta love panel shops and their attempts at polishing! good lucking fixing it!

[vyc4b]

bad luck on the swirl marks Jas, though a visit to Final Inspection will have her looking BRAND NEW..........you'd think a Panel Beater would know how to use an Orbital.

[S2VYSS]

Patient grasshopper LOL


bad luck on the swirl marks Jas, though a visit to Final Inspection will have her looking BRAND NEW..........you'd think a Panel Beater would know how to use an Orbital.

I tell you what that panel beater could use some f**king panel beating on his head!

We'll head down on sunday for a chat and see what they say Brian. They only have to blow the dust off your car mate. My best mate thinks I'm a dickhead, because as she said it looks like it just came out of a show room!

[JS57SS]

looking forward to seeing the new wheels, when you putting new shots up?

[S2VYSS]

Try to get a couple up tomorrow for you mate

[S2VYSS]

So over the last couple of weeks I've been doing some mods

-Verde Koas 20s with 245/30 rubber - Thanks to Protek tyres & wheels

-Tein Coil Overs with outer caster bushes and diff mount bushes - Thanks to Autotechnique

-15% Tint - Teppa Tinting

Here are some pics, sorry the car is dirty and the pics are nothing fancy

I'm not happy with the height in the rear and I'm trying to get some custom rear springs made for the coil overs as they are wound right down

[vxSSilver]

niiice!

i agree the rear needs to come down a bit!

also take off the commodore and s2 badge at the back!

looks good over all tho!

[derrro]

well you already kno i hate you :D

i got 2 out of 4

you got 3 out of 4 :(

black / manual / leather / sunroof!

i'll kill the person i find with 4 out of 4 !!

------- i have 4 out of 4, hehehe: red / manual / leather + sunroof ;):goodjob:

[S2VYSS]

niiice!

i agree the rear needs to come down a bit!

also take off the commodore and s2 badge at the back!

looks good over all tho!

Thanks mate, I think for the mean time I'll take the adjuster out of the rear and get that extra inch

Nah I'll leave the badges for the moment

I'll get some better pics of it when I clean it up

[DaveHAT]

I'm not happy with the height in the rear and I'm trying to get some custom rear springs made for the coil overs as they are wound right down

Not sure why you're unhappy with the way it sits, looks perfect and level. :goodjob:

If you want the rear lower than that you shouldn't need custom springs made ... King's KHRL-46SL should do it.

[S2VYSS]

It doesnt show it in these pics, but the rear sits just a bit higher

I understand that there is lower springs out there, but I expected the coil overs to be lower then this when slammed right down

[HERCULES]

About time you posted some pics :P

Looks great, I think you can lower it another inch all round.

You might wait to get your tein coilovers checked out as im sure you can lower these alot lower than what you have.

See Mitch's Clubby below on 20's with tein coilovers.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa199/fusionclubbi/19122007002.jpg

[S2VYSS]

Mitch has his adjusters out in the rear for this pic

I cant go much lower in the front as even at this height its a pain in the arse and the tyres would touch at full lock

I dont want to have the adjusters out as then it is just a set of springs in the rear and really defeats the purpose of having spent the money on coil overs in the first place

I'll post a pic up of the rear springs later so you can see there is no more adjustment

[iloveholden]

Even though its pretty dirty mate it still looks pretty nice, and yes i agree about the ride height, maybe get it down a little lower.:goodjob:

[S2VYSS]

One of the joys of a black car, its almost always dirty

[JS57SS]

yeah looking good mate, love the wheels you've done well, but yeah your not wrong she sits that little bit uneven.

[S2VYSS]

The rear springs still need to settle a bit as well

[JS57SS]

yeah thats true mate you might not even need to do anything once they settle.

[S2VYSS]

I'm still going to have get some custom springs down because there is no more adjustment and I want to be able to really slam it for shows and cruises

[[Mitch]]

Looks good!

It should settle a little lower all round, maybe 10mm or so.

[S2VYSS]

Thanks mate, your ride height and how nice your car sat was why I went the teins partly

I'll work the rear out soon enough

[vyc4b]

looking real good Jas........even better with some redwalls.

[S2VYSS]

And a wash and decent detail! LOL

Thanks Brian, but doesnt hold a candle to your machine mate

We'll have to work on getting walls in a couple of walls, hopefully before C4C5

[S2VYSS]

Ok so a bit of an update, a new mal wood clutch and shifter have been fitted and the car is currently in at final inspection detailing getting the grand treatment

I will post up exact details and pics when I get back on Saturday night or watch out for the car at the VIC Cruise for charity on the sunday

I cant wait to drive my baby again

[vyc4b]

Will you have the Gorilla in the Back seat???

:1peek:

[S2VYSS]

I'll that up to you to bring that Brian LOL

Ok so I got the car back and wow does it look great!

The mods were done include the following:
-Mal Wood Short Shifter
-Mal Wood Stage 3+ Clutch Kit
-New clutch slave cylinder
-Braided Clutch Line kit
-New spigot bearing
-Royal Purple Fluid

Plus the car has been detailed by Final Inspection here in Melbourne and the results are amazing. He even polished the headlights to bring them up like new

I'll get some pics from Final Inspections website and put them up here

[vyc4b]

Here's some pics from the CFC Today mate...........it's come along way quickly, well done.

I dont know why those last 2 are on their side sorry guys

The car was looking great till it rained this arvo!

I cant speak highly enough of the results of the detail and paint correction done by final inspection. You can see how good the paint came up above with the reflection of the gutter in the paint

Damian from finaly inspection even spent 2 hours polishing up the headlights with plastic polish

:bow:

:goodjob:

[[Mitch]]

It came up really nice. The red walls are a nice touch. Overall it's looking really good.

[macca33]

It was good to meet you yesterday Jase - the SS is looking sensational.

See ya on Saturday!

Cheers,

Macca

[S2VYSS]

Great to meet you too bloke

It needs some power upgrades now to match yours and Brians I think

I cant wait for saturday mate

[someLS1]

Car is look very nice mate loving the redwalls! I was at C4C5 i cant believe i didnt see this.. i was half asleep tho i think i missed alot of cars.. lookin forward to seeing it on the cruise

[S2VYSS]

It was sitting up on the top floor of the car park at first then it was down in the car park near to statos bags!

Check it out at the cruise mate. I look forward to see yours too

[TimmyG]

Looks hot man i really like it. There is about a million black ss's but no matter what there is always something individual about them. I love the red walls to.

Cheers
Tim

[S2VYSS]

Thanks mate

I've just done things and mods I liked and thought would look good. Its come together really well, but there are still a few things I want to change and fix up. It all takes time

[JS57SS]

mate the car is looking awesome, whats planned next, more so what else can you do, engine mods?

[S2VYSS]

The list of mods to come include:
-Custom 2.5" stainless exhaust & VY HSV S2 extractors
-OTR
-Valve springs
-Tune
-Weiand Starr manifold and 90mm throttle body
-Custom rear springs (reset teins)

Plus a few other little things including engine covers and so on all in time for summernats

[JS57SS]

yeah those mods should pit a smile on your face for a while if only i could afford them to,
are you entering any events in the nats?

[S2VYSS]

Probably just do the grass events and maybe the go-to-whoa and just cruise the arse off it. I dont think I'll bother with any judging at this stage

I forgot about the UDP kit as well

[S2VYSS]

Here is a pic taken on the weekend by grommz

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3223/2852342375_544baff370_o.jpg

It was good to have the car clean and shiny

[JS57SS]

bloody hell mate that is one clean car must have taken you hours to get it that spotless, always a good feeling driving an imaculately detailed car on the road and copping looks left right and centre, which i bet you woiuld have been

[S2VYSS]

Not hours mate, just a quick wash that morning

Thats the beauty of spending money on a quality detail! Hard work is aleady done

On that cruise mate, my car didnt get that much attention really. There were some great cars there, plus I dont care I was just happy with how clean it was

[iloveholden]

mmmm CLEAN ss :lol:

Looks fantastic mate :goodjob:

[S2VYSS]

MMM SS

LOL

When its clean, it looks amazing

[S2VYSS]

I got the car dynoed at autotechnique on saturday to start with a baseline power reading. I was thinking around the 170-180rwkw mark, but it made:

196.9rwkw with 463.0 N.M

The exhaust is getting changed on thursday by andy at AK industries and then off to autotechnique for the OTR, tune, valve springs, UDP kit and get the rear springs reset lower. I cant wait!

[niicksey]

looks good man

such a good picture dude :goodjob:

[Tecca]

How did Your new exhaust go mate............

[BADTMPRD]

It is a great combo, the only other combo I might have gone for is silver with red leather, but I dont think I have ever seen one like that before

There is two I know of over here. One a silver VT an the other a silver VY, both with red leather. Oh so nice...even a white VY ute with blue leather :)

Anyway love the black ,red combo mate :goodjob:

[S2VYSS]

How did Your new exhaust go mate............

It makes me happy in the pants! very very loud :drool:

I cant say enough for the quality and sound that Andy from A&K Industries has managed to create :bow: :bow:

:goodjob:

If anyone would like details for a quality exhaust builder, pm me, you wont regret installing one of his systems!

[Millsy]

im pretty sure i was the first person on the forum to hear this system in the flesh and yes it is loud yet deep and throaty, alot better than the off-the-shelf twin 3-inch systems ive hered and this one is only a twin 2.5-inch, its very nice, enjoy it mate, just wait until the tune is done, yeeeee haaaaa :P

cheers

Millsy

[S2VYSS]

Yeah you would have been the first mate

I couldn't be happier with the sound myself

[vyc4b]

The big 'D' loves it, I'll bet...............

[S2VYSS]

Cheers mate

The car made 245.2 rwkw with 588.3 N.M

Very very happy with the performance and I cant say enough for all the help mario, greg (aka binki boy) and dave have given me. I recommend Autotechnique to anyone who is keen to do work to their LS powered commodore

:goodjob:

[mustanger]

Nice gain there Jason :yup: As long as you are happy in your pants, nothing else matters:lol:

[S2VYSS]

Always happy in the pants bloke LOL

I took the car out last night later on and gave it some stick and once it starts pulling from about 3000rpm it just goes like crazy! Just cruising around you dont notice it as much but once you get into it thats when you feel it

Mario did tell me he spent alot of time on the economy cycle, so I cant wait to see what numbers I get from a long trip on the freeway/highway

Get used to the dirty looks mate, even when you are going slower than everyone else you'll still get them... ;)

As an example I took my 18 month old daughter to playgroup the other day and when I was trying to park (was at a church/hall) all the oldies greased me off as if I was trying to run them all over.

Good to hear that you've got the car tuned finally, will have to catch up at some point so I can hear your exhaust.

I live near a primary school and even before I had the exhaust done I got dirty looks because my car is modified and at 9 in the morning I must be going to street race right near the school :flipoff:

Yeah for sure mate, we'll catch up for a cruise

[Millsy]

Its Damian and his number is 9387 8008, but he is not taking any more bookings this year because he is fully booked out and I know he is not taking bookings for next year yet

He is one of the best in the country!

I dont care about the dirty looks because these people are just morons who have no idea

[S2VYSS]

Bit of an update on the car

Have got some new rear springs to suit the tein adjuster seats, but havent installed them yet

Took the car up to summernats and did some cruising and the grass events. I put some super super low specail springs in it, thanks to John from Protek Tyres and Wheels for all the help

He worked is magic on the rear guards to stop the rear wheels from rubbing

[pelagonia_ss]

Looks great mate.. Ever think of getting the spoiler off? Would look even better IMO

[brend04]

Very nice ride mate.

My ute has ultra lows in and monroe gt sport shocks all round and it sits on the bump stops almost, please tell me how the hell yours isnt? Is it the tein adjuster seats?

cheers

[255-LS1]

wow looks awesome sacked like that, leave spoiler on too, spoiler off has been done to death, looks mad as it is, good job mate

[iloveholden]

Yeah i vote - keep the spoiler on :goodjob:

[Brett SS]

Looks good mate, how did you enjoy cruising around Summernats? I saw your car going around plenty of times so you must have had a good time. :)

Are you entering Easternats this year? I've already entered so will see you there if you're going...

[S2VYSS]

Looks great mate.. Ever think of getting the spoiler off? Would look even better IMO

No chance, I like it better with the spoiler, plus its like the first mod everyone makes when they get an SS

Cheers mate

It doesnt sit on the bump stops, but I had to pull the top rubber bump stop out to put these BMW springs in. The teins aren't in at the moment, but I think we will have problems with them when they go in


wow looks awesome sacked like that, leave spoiler on too, spoiler off has been done to death, looks mad as it is, good job mate

Cheers mate, it looks more sacked in the pics then it probably is normally

The cruising was ok mate, but a bit hard with the big clutch! Between me and my bro we drove it around a bit. I was looking out for you but I only seen you that one time mate. Did you enjoy it?

Nah not entering easternats this year, but I'll most likely go for a look, so I'll come say hi!

Nice Jase,

I saw you driving around a few times and saw your car flying around the grass track also. I also spent a fair bit of time cruising around in a mates Torana which was awesome. Next year I want to be entered though and I'll be able to cruise heaps as I don't need to worry about a big clutch like you do... ;)

Looking forward to Easternats, it should be good and if all goes to plan a few mods should be done beforehand. :)

[TUFLS1SS]

ahhh i see yer mate ill prob be bring my car in soon for some new rear tyres cos got some of john last time i just work next door at new oak lol

[TUFLS1SS]

haha lol , i no im doing alright lol gotta show them ford boys how a real 8 sounds

how come u not entering easternats ?

[S2VYSS]

It all comes down to cash flow and lack of it mate! LOL

Summernats was an expensive trip and a lack of shifts at my other job has put me in debt a bit, so I have to catch up again. I'm working for johnny now a couple of days a week, so I'm trying to save some cash up again

I'll go for a look, but I wont be entering. Are you entering?

I'll be in at protek tomorrow working, you should bring your car around so I can have a look at it

[TUFLS1SS]

[Brett SS]

What mods do you have planned mate? Details, details! :stick:

Details will come in time, just need to sort out a few other things before I can definately go ahead with it. If all goes well though I'll be having a smile from ear to ear... :)

Yeah that was me in the Black VX heh.. Why not great to drive? suspension a killer? :)

Let me know if you are selling the rims, love the look of them and would be keen to get them off you :)

[S2VYSS]

Not sure if I will be selling them, but I'll let you know

The suspension is abit rough, but the roads dont help

[Rub]

Yeah the roads suck around Melb, especially the route I take... Ballarat road -> Dynon Rd -> King Street -> Kingsway... and I only have stock suspension...

[S2VYSS]

But its better then going along the Monash at that time of the morning!

I have to say considering how low the car is and the fact that the tyres are 30 profile, the teins give a very good ride quality

[GTS_215]

seen your car driving around the area mate, looks mint and perfect combo (black red leather and a 6 speed). im in avondale heights and drive a silver VT exec on VX R8 rims. its nothing to look at but its a cammed ls1 and goes good with the 6 speed. should catch up and go for a cruise one weekend.

[BT1-KID]

cant go wrong with a black manual ss.. tuff!

Cheers mate. I havent noticed your car, but when I driving I'm too busy looking out for pot holes and the police to notice anyone else :lol:

Sleeper is the way to do it mate, fly under the radar! What size stick have you got in it?

[S2VYSS]

For the time being I have put cruise planning on hand as I have alot on my plate at the moment

Anyone else is more then welcome to plan a cruise

[Rub]

haha.. just stirring you up a bit mate...

I'm planning a bit of a cruise for the boys @ work (couple of them are members on here).

We are going to hit up something similar to that Macedon route I suggested, I might do a write up if the route is any good and organise something :)

[GTS_215]

Make sure you get along to the next ls1 cruise we have mate

im not on here all the time so PM me whenever theres a cruise going on and ill try come down

[S2VYSS]

No worries mate, but dont stress there will be about a months notice before a cruise anyway

[S2VYSS]

Its time for a bit of an update on the car

After along while of trying to get some new springs for the rear tein coil overs, I got some new springs made by king springs to suit the tein coil over adjustor. Here are some pics of the custom made springs next to the original tein equipment

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg58/S2VYSS/PicnicatHangingRockKirksGoingAwa-2.jpg

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg58/S2VYSS/PicnicatHangingRockKirksGoingAwa-1.jpg

So I decided that it was time for some new rims and Black Diamond, aka Johnny the lebo wheel man (not really lebo, he's greek) said " These new Konig Laces will look sick on your car uleb!", and I was like, " I not really sure". Then Big Red, the Protek Gimp said " They will make your car look really tough". So we tried them up against and I was sold. Then I put them on the car and I wasnt sure at first. After a drive and feeling how good these light weight wheels made my car brake, drive and accelerate, I was really sold! Here are some pics, let me know what you guys think

[S2VYSS]

They look farkin sick dude !!:bow:

Would be a biatch to keep clean though me thinks... :1peek:

Same as the Verde's to keep clean really. I am worried about dirt and crap scratching the black lip

I wont be putting a red line of the lip, it would make the wheels too busy

Cheers for all the comments guys

[Brett SS]

Well done Jase, your car's looking fantastic mate. The new wheels definately give it the stealth look. (I love the stealth look........:nyuk:) We should get our cars together for a few pics one day, they'd look shit-hot side by side I reckon.

[S2VYSS]

I still like the Verde's, but it was time for a change

I'll make sure I get a pic of the new rims in the same spot at summernats this year for you mate and you can put them side by side and decide from there

:)

[redvess]

I have to admit when I first saw Huggies pics in the other thread I didnt think much of them but after seeing your pics they look alot better than the verde's :goodjob: like it alot.

Why would i buy them when i can pinch them off your car mate...lol bloody lebos.

[S2VYSS]

Well summernats is done for another year and there is a bit of a repair bill. I think I have a cracked radiator and after some spirited laps on saturday arvo around the cruise route with a full car, the clutch doesnt love me as much, however knowing the quality of the Mal Wood clutch all will come good in time

I also installed some edlebrock covers and what a nightmare they have been, still need further cutting to clear. Plus have a ASE over flow relocation tank to fit, however need the rest of the parts and fittings

New wheels coming very soon

Also looking for some standard VY SS 18's, dont care about the tyre condition or if there are marks on the rims as they will be painted anyway. Please pm me if anyone has a set

As soon as the new wheels are on I will put pics up

:jester:

How did you enjoy Summernats this year? I did more skids down tuff street this year and almost got booted by every security guard. lol

I was looking at fitting a set of those edelbrock covers also, how much stuffing around has it been so far? If it's an absolute pain I dont think I could be bothered... lol

[S2VYSS]

I enjoyed it mate, they told me on saturday burnouts on the spot were fine, but any sideways and I would be kicked out. The back section was perfect for a bit of sideways stuff and the guards were pretty chilled around the back. One even made a point of telling me how much he liked my car everytime I went passed, so I did a skid for him :cussing::headbang::wave:

They probably arent that hard to do, just needs careful planning. Would have been easier if I had seen someone else's first

[DukeZ]

brett those covers while simple enough require a bit of patience and grinding to ge tthem down to size but looks shmick once on

[exwrx]

Less whining more grinding you two :jester:

The edelbrock covers look great, but were never designed for our engine bays so need a bit of work to get right. The raw cast finish looks good against the black in the engine bay.

Made the trip back from Summernats in this thing and it rides pretty well for something that low.

[hotbox]

looking good bud, i recon u have ride height pretty spot on now :goodjob:

Quick question, does anyone know what the size of the fittings for an ASE relocation tank are? I have one but I dont have the fittings

[Rub]

They are just the push on fittings I think.

[S2VYSS]

Its the short fat fitting I need the size of, the rest is easy enough

Got a call today, new wheels are at the warehouse and will be sent out on thursday. Cant wait for a change

Got some other mods planned for the exterior too

:jester:

[TimmyG]

Why change of wheels again?

[S2VYSS]

Why not, I get a good deal on them

:hide:

Its been almost 18 months and feel its time for a change again. Some one once said to me wheels are like fashion, you need to change them regularly otherwise you will be left behind

:jester:

[TimmyG]

Thats fair enough, i trust that this choice like the 2 before them will be very nice.

[DukeZ]

the new wheel looks shite.....luckily he is gettin a good deal on them.....

[S2VYSS]

Well Dukez, you will want them in 3 years when everyone has them, bogan!

:slap:

Ladies and Gentlemen, dont not listen to Dukez, he drives a shit box black SS with stock wheels, he cant be trusted nor does his opinion matter. In fact if you see a slammed black VX SS with stock wheels hunging around schools, call the police

:hide:

[S2VYSS]

New wheels are in and will be installed to tomorrow

[DukeZ]

[VYSHSV8]

what wheels are they jase?

Out of round, cracked centers with big flat spotted tyres on them, you know the type Cam the ones PD thinks he knows everything about:lol:

[S2VYSS]

And don't forget made from Chinese newspapers with cheap tyres made from old bogan rubber thongs! They won't balanceand their centers will explode taking out every other car and person within a 10km radius!

:rolleyes:

Don't worry guys i'm an expert, I get pm's all the time

No wheels pics yet, run into some problems today with fixing the radiator. Last year, some reversed into the front of the car, damaging the intrustion bar at the front (looks like a tow bar did it), which then wouldnt allow us to remove the radiator, because we couldnt move the air con condensor enough. So with the use of a sledge hammer and some pulling we got the intrustion bar off, got the radiator out and it will be picked up tomorrow so it can be checked to establish why it was leaking.

Will get a new intrustion bar on monday, have the front bumper fixed (just heated & popped out) and get the radiator back. Will fit the wheels up tomorrow and stick them on the car for some pics
