So that's why i wanna change stuff etc on it .. here are the tail lights i'm thinking of getting .. Cheers Rick. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate leave the front, VX SS look f*cking awesome! What was your exact 11 second pass and what MPH? I also have a Craigs Automatic box in my VX R8 Clubsport, but with a 3600rpm stall. I also have a 232/ 242 112LSA Comp Cam going in very shortly with a set of 6L heads. Also, did you run the 11 on them street tyres? Or a set of slicks? Jason.

Also, did you run the 11 on them street tyres? Or a set of slicks? Jason. i think the pass was 11.7sec and 116mph. The guy before me did this time as i brought the car pretty much done up engine wise. Was complete standard trim not sure on rear tyres but they weren't slicks.. Rick. Thinking of leaving the front end for a bit and see what happens.. Here are some pics i took this arvo and some with me accelerating in drive with the brake and some just in drive hehe Pretty happy with the rims and stuff! Thinking of getting some red walls this weekend?? Oppions?? Cheers Rick. Quick video as well so u know what it sounds like.. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p8eyxshFmWE&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p8eyxshFmWE&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Here is the link i think for the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8eyxshFmWE Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got the new tail lights.. Now thinking of getting a full VZ R8 kit and a Ford Bulge bonnet and projector headlights the pointed ones not the tear drop ones and chrome mesh to go with it! i reakon it would make it look mean as.. Oppions? Try picture that front end on mine? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Don't you f*cking dare! Them kits looks sh*t as. It looks awesome as it is, it doesn't need any bodykit apart from the SS one! I can't believe you aren't happy with it. Maybe just get a new paint job and you'd be happy with it, or spend more money and try to break the 10 second bracket! Jason. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks good man, I agree with Jason on the looks.. Those taillights actually dont look too bad, perhaps because its a black car and they blend in. If you want to spend more money on it,.. make it go faster Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks guys yeh i choose to leave the body kit due to the fact i don't wanna try make it something it's not. I endded up buying some SSSL for the rear and ultra low for the front and fitting them this arvo or tommorow see how i go Thanks Rick. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah, don't go the retard-spec random body kit option. Love the plates. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

take the spoiler thingo off the window, would look heaps better imo

If you do decide you don't want the window spoiler I would happily buy it off you! Jason.

Cheers guys .. for some reason i like the spoiler thingo on the window haha.. Looks like it has 3 wings when the sun roof is up I lowered it on SSSL last nite still gota do front i'll get a pick when NOT in drive Sits really nice now just the front needs about 7mm lower roughly. Thanks for the nice comments now all i need to do is think of something else to do to make it look better then the rest of the SS's out there.. Rick.

Well after driving it for a bit i blew it up it looks to be. Either blown a bottom end bearing or hole in piston or a ring or something. I'll find out more soon when it goes to get looked at by a shop. The noise it makes it more a clackin noise then a knockin noise and it doesnt blow smoke or anything. I was told take the heads off and it maybe a broken lifter down the bottom maybe? Rick.

Thats no good. Hope its nothing too major. Agreed with the others above, glad to see you didnt go the typical VN-VS P-plater kit on it. Keep it a nice clean SS.

if that was mine id take the spoiler off... get a pair of vx berlina tail lights and even take that chrome strip of the car and then it would look good ( not that it already doesnt just not my cup of tea) wheels suit it !

love the car not sure about the lights and the rims.. but other than that toughest vx..
