I've been busy over the last few days, here are the pictures.
The day I bought the car it went straight onto the dyno to see how much power and torque it was making, my mate who I bought the car from bought it already tuned with the exhaust and OTR but never bothered to find out the figures.
If you can't read it, it made 217RWKW and 392RWNM, the tune is rich and should be adjusted but I'm happy with it the feel of it
Vy Clubsport brakes still look like stock size behind these wheels, dunno why.
Engine bay- it had those tacky gloss red "LS1" engine covers so my mate shaved them off and painted the covers texture coat satin black, along with the alloy OTR.
There is a STP heat reducing foam applied to the underside on the bonnet which rubs on the strut brace and OTR, oh well.
Optima D35 battery installed with some Streetwires 0 gauge and Streetwires battery terminals to look nice and perform just as good.
The A pillars weren't installed yet as I still had to run wiring in the car.
First major service at 250,000km I changed over the plugs as they were about 80,XXXkm old and it was starting to miss when cold.
Saved myself $80 by shopping around on eBay but still managed to buy them from an Australian company!
The resistance for the leads was fine so they were not replaced, but I don't like them because they are blue.
I also bought two new Kumho KU27 tires for the rear as they were not legal. Tread wear rating of 600 means they should last a while, not as much grip as the KU22's on the front though, ASK ME HOW I KNOW
Over the Easter long weekend I made a trip from Adelaide to Warrnambool Thursday the 13th, a few small towns in Vic then Melbourne and back to Adelaide on my Birthday the 17th.
On they way back I managed to make it all the way from my sisters house in North Melbourne all the way home and to work the next day, average economy was 8.9L/100km with frequent overtaking of numpties doing 80 in 100 and 110 zones.
Going to do another engine service next weekend along with the transmission as well as it is overdue.
