Just picked this up from a guy I work with. 1 owner, LS1 6 speed 73000ks full service history, never been bingled. A lot of car for just 5k. Grabbed a set of rims off Gumtree give them a lick of paint. Locks like a good Christmas project.4d4eca491c46ada41307c1e3a44c9d6d.jpg4b8904a6aeba6a2b33a117f649e544c9.jpg

So now the photo comes up, disregard bud, 02 vx by the looks, toe adjusters standard ls6 manifold & injectors, if it's got real late pistons, that'll be a great engine. Don't use thicker oil than 10-40 in it, if you can get easy enough, liquimoly 10 40 super luctifue or however they spell it, would be the best oil you can run in it, along with genuine filters. I just heard of well serviced unopened ls1, that clocked 475,000 original MILES ! they're a really good engine if you service them well ect. Good score mate. Gary.

Shiney,

 

  Mate they all look white to me but I'm colour blind.

My take was, they all look good, but engineers tried to make them more aerodynamic and the caravan wins :-)

Just jokin, nice set of toys CI, and of course the hatch stays when all else goes!!!!

The council isn't going to be too happy at this rate Andrew as they soon will be parked in the street. Next year we start looking for a bigger block and shed.

Slightly different, similar size caliper and pistons are 2mm smaller but run a pad that has double the amount of friction material and rotors are 330mm as originals are 296mm. Rears are same calipers but run a different carrier as rotors are 315mm. All rotors vented and slotted.
