Hey Brad,

Seen the big girl down at Hi Torque today it looks like it's coming along nicely. Stop putting your money into that and do the Senator with 416 cuba with twin turbo's and a nice big front mount :-) . LOL. Just kidding that's the way I could see me doing it. Maybe on my next one. :D
What other plans have you got in store.
Keep it up it looks mint

Cheers Andy

[blown vess]

Thanks Andy I thought about a senator a month or so ago but wife said a big no to it as shes knows what Ill do to it so I'll play with this for a while
Brad

[EVLHSV]

well thats sweet ive only had it 7 months now and my wife said i was stupid for selling it so soon. So I will probably be ready to flick it in about another 12 months or so. Hopefully i will have this for a while as it just beautiful car allround to drive. By the way I heard your a jeweller approx how much for a Gold chain about 55cm in length by about 10mm wide.:D

just be careful doing that brad the problem is a VE uses data signal to transfer from ecu to dash so its not as easy as splicing into the tacho wire as they don't have one, i will have a look tomorrow and let you know which way to do it.

[Carbon]

[blown vess]

[HER.60L]

I like that front bar Brad:bow: I've chev'ed the front grill to get rid of that bloody dinner plate but would much rather have no badge at all. The back holden badge went the day i got the ute and the rest are going pretty soon.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Cheers Kim.

Brad, which spoiler is yours? Is it the Calais/G8 one or did you get it elsewhere

[Northy]

left lane nanna's car :P

[blown vess]

[Unit_Zero]

why is it leaning to the left cant be the camber on the road cause the white ford on the right isnt leaning..... might be a short fat guy in the passanger side

[Carbon]

was thinking the same thing about the lean.......

[EQUIPE-T]

was thinking the same thing about the lean.......

lol was just about to put up the same thing

[Unit_Zero]

might be to much power and twisting the chase

[blown vess]

same here I'll find out tomorrow

[Unit_Zero]

maybe flat tyre or they have been jumping it not trying to freak you out or anything lol

[blown vess]

phoned ht this morning checking this out

[Ben]

any conclusions ?

[stealthvn/mr vr ss]

and????????????

[blown vess]

checking the coilovers as it was scubbing on the left hand back gaurd after i lowered it again

[Unit_Zero]

maybe spring fell out

[blown vess]

went down to hi torque today to check progress coming along very nicely the manifold is on and looks insane still a while off yet as I've told them to take their time and make it perfect

[Derek VE SS]

its orange ............:thumbs up:

[BigJim]

Goes alright that VE but most of the VE drive train is not there. Its backed by a turbo 400 3 speed auto so it can get those times. Its the only way to get there without blowing up the stock parts. Great times for a big car.

Holy shit! Moving 4.3t of car in 9.95 seconds. That's impressive!
