03-11-03, 17:53 GMT+10#81 get one of those interiors then, just make sure there are no toyota badges on it lol, would that be cheaper coz crappier? or more expensive because of it being rare (ish - compared to a vs statesman or calais interior)?

03-11-03, 18:13 GMT+10#82 Nah it'd be heaps more expensive IF you can find one... they're rare as rocking horse ****.
Stato interior would be good... failing that, a calais interior.

03-11-03, 19:16 GMT+10#89 Just think of what you could do with that supercharged V6. May be possible to get 200kw out of it with mods. HSV managed to get 180kw out of them in XU 6's

03-11-03, 19:20 GMT+10#90 As i said... it will depend on what they want for the wreck. Reality is, its going to be a while before it comes available so hopefully i'll have sorted out the apartment by then. Or who knows dad could roll in an engine for my 21st birthday.
If its cheap enough, i'll sure as **** do it. If not, i'll be looking at a 5L conversion later on.
So yeah... either one of very few (if not only) S/C or V8 Lexcens.

03-11-03, 20:25 GMT+10#93 Sounds like you cant make up your mind. Why didnt you just save up buy a 5L VS or VR, even a supercharged Calais, before you invested in the Lexen and painted the interior that awfull colour!
Mate ive got a VS too (well a REAL VS !) its stock as a rock except for exhaust, and i love it regardless. Sounds like you need another hobbie other than cars.

04-11-03, 16:21 GMT+10#97 get over it, its a standard VS with 16 inch wheels!
At the end of the day, u bought 16inch wheels because the tyres are gonna be cheaper then 17inch tyres...... As if ur really gonna do any engine mods to it.
time to stop talking bull****, sorry mate but ur post is up for everyone to comment!

04-11-03, 16:47 GMT+10#98 Yeah fcuk off tosser.
I bought 16's because they're cheaper and something that will need to be replaced frequently. I don't plan on replacing the engine every 40,000kms.
Gees ****ing read my post ya wanker.
