What are you getting next ? Nova/camaro/charger/cuda?

[adaptive]

Sold as I am putting too many miles on it through work and too expensive to keep putting right to use as a second car

Its being replaced by the new Golf R for work and a new house purchase in spring/summer. Depending how much I get for my current house and how much the new one costs, there may be a Chevy Nova/Chevelle to fill the gap

Ah.... Not very good at man maths then!

Golf R are nice.... Shame you had to sell it.

Are you still coming to Sweden ?


I keep nagging my mate about getting one of his collection ready for the Sweden trip

These are pics of my R8 Bathurst Lee's old car . These pics were taken last year at Top Gears Track at Dunsfold by Professional German Photographer.

Next month the car is going to have a new WP 230 SC, a new Walky 3" 200cell cats on GTS quad pipe tips , ECU re-mapping new air intake, a Walky short shifter, and other upgrades.

Then it will be a Bathurst "S".

That will make it #18, I think.

Are you sure about the GTS tips? They won't be the flat hexagonal ones, will they?

Well I've seen a few Aussie WP cars with them on. They will be WP logo on them. I prefer them. Its just a preference thing looks more butch...

Yes it will be build number 18. Nothing fake ...all done by WP

OK..go to www.ebay.com.au and look under HSV parts. These and many more parts can be purchased from Original Parts Group Aus. Go look for these 2 item numbers 180736336511 and 180598611755 and these 2 item numbers for carbon equip are 171190327880 and 350744077257

These are the pipes which we be fitted tot he car.

That'll look good.

I was worried that you were going for these, which (IMHO) wouldn't look right with the earlier rear end.

Good god no...yak ?????

[BigmanHSV]

I want the car to be as near as WP Bathurst S as possible, no expense spared.I will be purchasing new 20" wheels too, but get the car back first next month.

I am not sure about the new Gen F GTS car. So rather then invest in a new car , I am spending the "dosh" on my old car and will concentrate on that....I think the 10+ k will be well spent.

The 20" wheels were an optional extra. There are some, which just have the 19s fitted. The AP brakes were an option as well IIRC.

Yours won't be 'as near to a Bathurst S as possible' it WILL be a Bathurst S, or WP wouldn't add you to the register.

[BigmanHSV]

Yes...

So the Wortec is going completely?

Good

yes it is going..completely

However, now WP tell me the 3" bi modal isn't available in the UK.... only the 2.5" hmmmmm the 3 system will give me more more HP and look better from the rear....

Anyone on here know why it isn't available here?
