I haven't pulled the spare but as I understand it there is a threaded hole that the "bolt" that the spare and tools is held in with screws into. The threaded hole is the frame under the boot carpet. So take out the spare and tools and there is a 12mm ish hole in the carpet. Anyway I will get some photos on the weekend.
Does that Cargo net come standard in the boot?
Velcro strips...Quote:

It is indeed an amazing car, & I am quite certain that HSV will achieve their aim of attracting some of the "Euro" buyers.
As an owner, & as you become more familiar with your GTS & all of its many features, I reckon you'd become more & more aware of where HSV's 3.5+ years of R & D went to.
Enjoy, Pickles.

Without wishing to stir that particular pot I doubt any of these have bothered to fit bigger radiators let alone the number of 'coolers' in the GTS and the detail taken to get the air to them. Maybe only an issue on the track but I think Simon said earlier it is nice having the oomph and bits without wondering what compromise you have made getting there. And I could be biased!
After 120km the brakes feel fine and no longer lack feel. Its having its windows tinted (legal I don't need complications) and then I will try to get some pics in the sunlight. Looking at the trip meter I don't think I am going to get the same results out of a tank of fuel as I was getting the Rodeo. Last fill on that was 50.02L for 722km!
Looks awesome, would love one, but my VF SSV will have to do for now :)
I agree the car is "amazing" even more so that it may be the last of its kind.
When did they start adding the springs to the boot opening mechanism? Is it a VF thing?Quote:

Thats the thing the GTS comes with all the engineering besides the supercharger and its a factor im thinking about spending the money modifying my Redline or just upgrading it to the GTS and the more I think about it the GTS seems like a better option overall.Quote:

Dont know this for certain but its a fine night here in perth so waw is on,wouldnt be suprised if the boys from active give their new gen f gts a run tonight as they have been tuning it this week and from what ive heard got around 500 rwhp ,very interested to see what it runs,to bad they didnt run it completely stock before tune just to see what a stocker could do.
C,mon mj, how's the car going, this threads come to a stop since you took delivery, no more to speculate about I guess.
