Twin Turbo SSV series 2 Redline Ute

[gjohnson]

Quick update, vehicle is built and dealership expecting delivery this Thursday , they can't even get one for the showroom and they are sending mine off for mods as soon as it arrives!
About a week to fit all the good bits then delivered to me! Can't wait, hopefully I'll be in it this month!

[gjohnson]

A box of shiny things arrived at HPF today. I can't believe they can fit 2 of these and manifolds etc up under the engine ! Seems a shame to hide them away, I wouldn't mind the look of them top mounted. They could take the place of the ridiculous mechanical sound enhancer !!!

Ute has arrived






The hood vents are functional for those that were wondering, although not really big enough or in the right position to let that much air through but better than stick on fakes.
Cheers Greg

Hi Greg

Great photos of the VF series 2 SSV Redline ute.

May I ask in regards to the new air inlets on the front bumper, do these direct air directly to the brake disks with some sort of shroud or opening in the internal wheel arch?

Or do they just let air flow inside the bumper bar?

Regards,

GTSRVF

Hi mate, I actually didn't look that closely at the wheels and brakes, as I'm changing both but I'll have a good look when it's up on the hoist at HPF and let you know.
Cheers Greg.

Congratulations Greg! Manual or auto?

Congratulations Greg! Manual or auto?

G'day Wonky, hope you've been keeping well?
Going the Auto with this one mate, not doing track work. It's going to be my daily driver, the manual maloo used to shit me in heavy traffic with the twin plate clutch and lump from the cam, the more horsepower I gave it the worse the street manners became. But it was incredible around a track and that's what I wanted from it lol.
I'm also getting an eboost controller so can have different modes of boost for different driving conditions.
Cheers Greg

Black rims are std equipment on the redline or others available too? They don't do it for me!

[white lie]

Standard on the Red line rather than the chrome on the older models. I think the only other options would be the HSVi stuff, they usually say their wheels clear all brake packages...but they're like an 1800 option/changeover

[Micks]

Guess good excuse to upgrade them

[Plenty]

Build looks like it'll be a cracker.....

Ian't it funny that everyone wanted the black rims on the VF S1 and Holden couldn't keep up with supply. Now they are standard with black no one wants them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't i guess.

This twin turbo setup is it a complete kit or custom job? And any link to the kit if it is? Cheers looks like it's going to be good
