Hey Guys Bored one night and always wanted a write up and opinions of my car etc... first day i bought it (mind the camber its fixed now) WELL...... STORY: Picked up my baby about 4 -5 months ago technically my first car after a failed nissan pulsar turbo projest cut my losses and went for sum a lil abover averge for a first car... ] Its an v8 its a holden.. and it did have a locked diff (4:11)... after a week of locker fun realised that petrol aint cheap since i was filling up every second day decied to take it easy...then disater struck - going down chapel.. as people will vouch for lol.. picking up my bro and i loose power to my left tyre car sliding out and i have no clue why park the car checking cause i knew my k frame was weak thought it snaped nothing haging?? kept going and something was not right after futher inspection realised that my axle has riped its self out of the dif center and riped the whole k frame literally was haging by 20 ml's of torn metal one more turn and bye bye diff .. soo a tow truck and $143 later it was of to the mechanic ........ Took the dif out replaced it 3:45 out of a vs clubby replaced the axles replaced the kframe soo big buks after the first week.....Next was the rims are countless amount of ppl telling me that i like gutters (previous owners fault)i had to get the rims redone sooo off to a rim fix it guy soo rims were lookin imac.. then after a couple weeks decided in one shot redo pinstrip the whole car replace back garnish as it had a crack and also paint the drop tank (usual Silver with black strap) and change the exhaust tip to 2 twin dumpers. Half way through my car being a reface was on c.t as i usually am and saw panna selling his plates <COP-TZA> buzed is mobile and at the premium price was mine the next day - whether people like the plates hate the plates or think im a ****y c.unt im far from it it just adds to the profile of the car nothing more nothing less its my car so ill do what i want - even though other people tell me otherwise ... After countless drives down chaps and lygon and general crusing realised... hey alot of ppl have sigs i want to be different and then one phone call later the sigs transformed into whitewall sigs and then the day after scraped a gutter and had to redo the rim nd whitewall again.. SOO BLOODY PISSED ABOUT IT lol Now cars almost how i want it to be just waiting on my 7" touch headunit to come in and for my ps2 to be installed under the seat was thinking of going gauges on bonnet but the i would be asking for it so now its all show and no go... for engine mods i aint to fussed there is a couple things that come to mind but just need mula atm Make - 1992 HOLDEN VP SS (HSV ENHANCED) COLOUR -ORGINAL CHARCOAL BLACK MODS - SACKED ELECTRIC SUNROOF PAINTED DROP TANK TWIN DUMPERS CUSTOM PLATES (COP-TZA) CAMBER KIT VS CLUBBY DIFF 3:45 NEW PINSTRIPE RIGHT ROUND INCLUDING BACK GARNISH ON 19" SIGS RESPRAYED WHITEWALLED STAGE 2 AUTO REBUILT PAINTED RED ENGINE COVERS ENGINE STOCK EXTRACTORS EXHAUST SYSTEM APPERENTLY FROM PICTURES AND PEOPLE - GROUP A HSV TRIM MOMO STEERING WHEEL ALARM/PAGING SYSTEM 12" PIONEER SUBBY PLUS AMP APLINE HEADUNIT FUTURE PLANS: REDOING WALLS RED AND WHITE MAY GET SOME GAUGES GOING OUTSIDE OR IN?
