Hi folks I've not been on this forum log or had my monaro for long but i am thinking of selling it due to a lot of reason really but non of them have anything to do with the car. Infact I'm totally in love with it but scensoredt happens I suppose.
What I'm wanting help from you guys with is valuing it.
So here's the details of the car it's a phantom black monaro vxr 55 plate 45 thousand miles it's in very good condition some age related marks but nothing to serious the upgrades are HARROP 112 supercharger (non-intercooled)
Pedders fully adjustable coilovers
ACT twin plate clutch and lightened flywheel
Monkfish road response pack
AP Racing brakes
Wortec Headers, Free flow cats and exhaust
Rip shifter
Spigot bearing and slave cylinder changed out
Walkinshaw 19" alloys
So I would love to here your thoughts on value.
Thanks Eric

It's not a 500 but look almost identical. I'm not sure of it's output that's not why I bought it it's the sound that got me. What I do know is it's fast enough to get in to trouble. I don't know if I can bring myself to sell it last night it was going but this morning it's all change.
The main reason for selling it can from going out in it for a drive with the wife. As we were driving I past a lay-by and a guy gave me the wcensoredr sign that didn't really bother me it was what the wife said afterwards. She said to me she would have done the same as the guy because the car is obnoxious and loud and it would only be a certain person that would drive it. I don't know why but that just really got under my skin

Yes the is you old car boss and can assure you I'm looking after it. It's washed everyday and no one is aloud to eat in it including my one year old son. As for trading in the wife I has been very seriously considered but it would cost far to much that I am positive of.
I don't really understand why but I don't really like all the attention that it brings. It's weird cause I'm a loud and in your face kind of guy.

But surely things like lifters and pistons are not going to release more power there only going to make the engine stronger.

Well I've desire to keep it so up grade it is. It's just deciding what to do. Where's the best place for parts I have family in the states so items could be required from there if need be.

I'm not sure of the end goal but I was on to monkfish this morning going over some options and my options are pretty limited with my setup as it is all I can really do is fit a cam, meth injection for cooling and a remap or I could take off my charger and replace it with a tvs2300 with intercooler which will cost 6k then a cam and that's another 1k then a remap so all in close to 8k which is a lot of money that I'm not going to get back. So it's head over heart
