Chosen wheels yet Andy?

How about the new Koya wheels? They look pretty good. Are you going 22's again?

Hey Adam,

Haven't really been looking at the moment just waiting to see what goes on cause I really don't want to change them but I am starting to see a few sets around. I surpose that the difference between paying $12k for a set and $4k.

I am open to suggestions if anyone has any.
The one's that are on the Senator now I originally ordered them for our White GTS which we had to wait because they hadn't been released and I had only seen a quick pic of the wheels on a Black Senator ie the catalogue cover) but then sold the GTS. The wheels where released 1 week before I got the Senator.

Cheers Andy

[EVLHSV]

Hi all,

I will try and throw some pics up of the trim tonight. :)

Cheers Andy

[hellboy]

[OBLTR8]

Mate all I can say is that's KILLA.
22s are wicked.
Gotta admit it was one of the cars at the dyno night that I had to look at numerous times...

[blown vess]

Andy dont you get sick of the comments

[EVLHSV]

Andy dont you get sick of the comments

Not really, It just makes it interesting for when i sell it to see whether i can do something a little different again with out going to far and get the same good feed back. It just makes it all worth while doing it when people appreciate what you have done with out trying to sound a little silly or cocky as some would say.

My Wife actually had a lot of input into this one after I did the White VE GTS we had. She laugh's at me when someone complements the car when where out an about and I get a big head :D

Cheers Andy

I said the same thing and have never looked back.:D

Cheers Andy

[416SS]

Yeah Andy, beautiful car.. The good thing is....depending on how you look at it i guess, is when you do the 2nd car you always have a better idea on how to do things and those ways of doing things once and not having to go back over them and costing more $$$$.
Love the Beast! We all need to catch up again at some stage.
Cheers Dave

Hey Dave,
Cheers for that you are very right when it comes do doing it once and once only. Then you certainly have a better idea when it comes to the next one but its also about bang for the buck as well. The Senator is quicker over the quarter to our old supercharged GTS, but it puts it down better with a little less HP. ;)
We will all have to go to munchies one friday night.

Cheers Andy

[EVLHSV]

Hi All,

I just received my new VE VCM OTR on friday and fitted it up and are very impressed so far. Induction noise sound mint and looks pretty cool and was easy fitment. It took approx 25-30mins from start to finish.
Not sure if it has made any power difference as yet but will hopefully find out over the next couple of days.

Cheers Andy

[blown vess]

great work Andy but how do you go with ass end so low I bottom out now when I hit the hard pedal and mines 20mm higher than yours at the back also did you check the billet covers I got look great on your beast and they can cnc a logo on them but the manifold they do mmmmmmmmm.
http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af195/blownvess/LS1IntakeMani.jpg

[EVLHSV]

Hi Brad,

yeah I seen the covers and they look mint. That manifold looks phat as well.
Mine is not really that low it was just the angle the car was on. But I did lower it more and the rear rim is level with the guards on the rear also a have a narrower tyre than you on the rear i went back to a 255/30/22. :D

Cheers Andy

[EVLHSV]

Hi All,

I finally got the car put on the dyno at Hi-Torque and gave the Tune a tickle up as it seem to lean the car up with the new VCM OTR and we put some more fuel back into it and got an extra 4.5 rwkw from the Orssom OTR so it now has 314.5 rwkw. It seems to hold power a little better up top. So off to the drags we go and see if I can beat a 12.5 full street trim on 22's. :D

Cheers Andy

[blown vess]

well done Andy

[EQUIPE-T]

haha nice :)

[EVLHSV]

Hi All, it's been a while. I was thinking in a couple of weeks or so had heading up to Willowbank to finally test the beast out with the new OTR that's about 5 weeks old now and chase some numbeers. Anyone thinking of heading up around then.

Andy

I love your VE Senator, looks even better then the VE GTS my mate had.
Had a picture of it open and my 16 year old brother came and and said holy F&%k that looks sweet. You know your cars hot when younger kids compliment it.
Look forward to seeing you all at the photoshoot.

[Carbon]

Yep it's fully SIK!

No it's alright. Black with a little orange does look good

Hi All,

It has been a while but have been busy with Xmas and the New Year and by the way Happy New year to everyone.
I have just had the VE tuned on E85 and gee does it go better and it smells awesome too....... :panting: The only problem is it's not at all servo's yet..:sweating:

But by March I think there will be a few more Servo's with the Good ol Bio Fuel..

Cheers Andy

Hey Andy,

can you provide some numbers etc and was a fuel system upgrade needed? Im trying to get this sorted on my Series II but waiting on the update for HP Tuners to support mafless tunes on the L77.

Hey Corey,

I didn't have to upgrade the fuel system as I beleive the LS3 injectors are big enough and was just tuned for E85 so that is all i can run in it. The injectors are running about 95% i Think because it neededs 30% more fuel. Where as all the new commy's i beleive can run on both fuels? due to the computer pulling timing out for 98. As for Power its a Secret.... :bouncing:

Will chat soon

Andy

[EVLHSV]

Hi All,

Not sure if i am allowed to put these up as they were taken for a Mag.
Thought i would give a sneak peek.:bouncing:

Cheers Andy

[Carbon]
