Car is in getting a RWC today, hopefully it doesn't need too much!
A motor search is on for the Torana... But got a few other jobs that need doing first at home...

No kit = no spoiler
they look stupid with bodykits and no spoiler thoe.
every 2nd person has monaro or gay clear taillights. i rekon leave it and just slam it with a set of vx/y GTS wheels

As Vinny says, there will be no spoiler going on the car whatsoever!
I want to put some 18" grange wheels on it and lower it...
I put a K&N Panel filter in it yesterday... Seems to be a bit more responsive down low which is always good, be interesting to see if it helps the economy!

Sorry to hear about your ute I wouldn't wish that on eny one hail damage is very cruel.I like your new car, V8 calais are nice we've got a vr.It looks like it's in great nick and I like that you scored the hd hayman reese tow bar.did it come with a hd trans cooler in front of the raidiator as well? just because I know you tow cars on trailers to.

I'll have to check that Paul, not sure to be honest! I'll have a look tomorrow and see. Hopefully it does, that'd be handy!

Cool matt I hope it has. Another thing I love about the 5ltr vt's is you can still bridge numbers 5 and 6 in the diagnostics socket with a paper clip to check if ther's eny fault codes from the ecu on the dash.Because as most people probobly alredy know the gen3's need an obd2 reader or similar to retrieve information.

Yeah the rims on in the pic above are actually off Maddy's Vt Berlina... They had really RW tyres, so i used them to make sure i got a RWC no problems haha. But your right, they did ride nicely... It's a lot firmer ride now with the new combo... But I go for looks over practicality! HAHA!!!
