Your car looks great Rod.

Thanks Ed, appreciate it. When I first saw the wheels I had mixed feeling's. Then my wife said they look great, and a few others since have said they love them, so they are staying lol.

PS...What is that in your avatar? Please explain....Yours?

Time to share mate

Yeah, I might do something soon.

How about a quick teaser in this thread, just to shut me up

[whitels1ss]

Okay,

it's a cammed LS1 with a Harrop (black series) HTV2300 on top, (built automatic transmission)

it makes 388.5rwkw & 903nm (on a Mainline) & only weighs 1650kg.


(I have done all the work on it myself apart from the tuning.)

Thanks Ed, sounds killer. I knew you must have had something in hiding, just never thought to ask, or thought maybe you just liked to keep it private. I would love to see a thread on it, and I reckon most on here would back me on that?

Yeah Rod, I like to keep under the radar a little,

I have had it many years & I don't use it as a daily.

You drive it much?

Ed you sneaky bugger!
Great numbers there too!

Andrew from SA Quality Guard Rolling was an absolute legend and a really nice bloke as well. Came too my house and did both sides to perfection, cannot thank him enough, and would have paid a lot more than he charged. Now I can drive it again thankfully. I have also today replaced the chrome nuts with satin black.

ps... I might have a set of freshly painted staggered HSV R8 Anniversary rims for sale with near new Federal RSRR Tyres for the right price. Not 100 sure if I want to sell them, but I may let them go if I get what I am after.

Rod I don't normally like black wheels on the VE/VF, but yours being silver with the dark tinted windows looks great

Can't believe you were blind sided Mick lol

Now how do we get more out of him? Can't leave it there.

[whitels1ss]

You drive it much?

I have averaged under 1,000kms a year for the past 6 years & that includes 2 round trips interstate.

So easy to put them away and drive something vanilla on a daily basis. The Calais spent most of the winter in hiding, but I am determined to get it out now the weather in better. No point it keeping it nice for someone else to enjoy. And on another positive note, the boys in blue do not seem to have anywhere near the interest in picking on nicely modded cars that they did when I first came back to SA 10 years ago.
