My 07 VE GTS

Hey all, thoughts it's time to post some pics of my ride that I have finally gathered together. There's not many and there only from my iPhone but yeh.

This is the photo from the car yard before I picked it up

And these are now after I've owned it for a couple of months and slowly getting it to where I want it. Nothing flash at the moment just lowered and put a sound system into it.

Thanks, yeh I'm happy with how it's sitting or maybe a little lower but I'll leave it for now, it was hard enough trying to get it wheel aligned. Lol. I've got the Pedders Supercar coilovers.

Thanks, yeh I'm going to throw a cam and valve springs in it in the new year. Plus headers and otr, it's already got a cat back. Then see how I go from there. Would love for it to be turbo'd

Nah i definetly think spoiler on mate, just looks like its missing something without it, if you dont want the normal spoiler i reckon at least a senator lip spoiler is needed IMO

Cheers
Matt

Low and wingless looks awesome :)

You need a Carbon Boot spoiler. PM Me, i have one left.

Tried to return pm mate but your inbox is full , will be in mackay in 7 days.

Wingless for sure man! looks tough as, just need to make it go now :)

Just a couple more pics as I have changed wheel colour. Used plastidip to see if black will suit before I go spending a few K on getting them done.

Thanks

looks great with no spoiler mate,
change of wheel colour suits it well too

Looks heaps better with the black wheels but needs a spoiler maybe the senator one?

Look shmick mate, brings out those brakes more.. Is that plastidip a spray on application?

Yeh I love it without the spoiler, I considered the senator one but at 1k well it can stay as it is, lol.

Yeh the plastidip comes in a spray can, just make sure you prep the area well just like any painting. If you look closely it ain't the best job, lol. But I didnt expect it to be because I ain't no painter, haha.

Sweet.. lol yeah I found that out too when I painted my own brakes :buff:

Looks fantastic mate, im planning on doing the same & plasti dip my pentagons.:goodjob:

Thanks for the replies.

Took to car to our local drag strip. First time it's been open for a few months due to weather and then flood damage. So outing was a pretty big one, only got two runs in with a pretty poor result. Though i changed nothing it's how i drive it everyday. First run 13.8 @ 103mph, 2nd run 13.9 @ 104mph. 20" rims and stock everything except full exhaust. Just took off as I would at a set of lights. So I can't complain.

Was just looking for a base before I pull it apart and modify it. Next time hopefully a waaay better result, lol. Will probably need some ET streets on some 18" rears

Cheers

thought I'd give this an update. I have my car at my tuners (russo performance) at the moment and have seen some footage and gotten an update. car made 451.9 rwhp or 337rwkw, which I'm pretty stoked about. not a massive build just something simple

hydraulic roller cam
Higgins heads
fast intake with standard TB
Otr
double springs
adjustable rockers
pushrods
Howard's cams tie bar lifters
double row timing chain
oil pump
stock rotating assembly.

now to get the car back and run it at the track and see my improvement.
