My new Monaro VXR introduction

[topless360]

Hi guys, I picked up a Monaro VXR LS2 last weekend, already posted on the FB group but thought I'd introduce myself (and car) here too along with some pictures.

The car was purchased from a PHer and I believe the previous owner was also on PH so it's been looked after. It's really a credit to its previous owners as I've never seen such a meticulous service history. Even the inside of the fuel filler cap was prestine.

The car has been awesome so far, that torque is incredible and the noise from the custom exhaust addictive. It sounds like thunder in a tunnel accompanied by pops and bangs on the over run. It is an effortless cruiser and I have some exciting trips planned already (including run against the sun).

The only slight negative is that the steering feels a bit loose, even though it's had a quick rack, RRP and other suspension upgrades. This will just take getting used to I'm sure and I'm feeling more confident in the car with each passing day.

I'll also explore potential power upgrades and maybe a dyno day soon as I was out dragged by my mates 370Z which I didn't expect. I guess it is a heavy car though.

I'm looking forward to getting her out to some events, already booked in for thunder road.

Hey Hardeep, glad you're enjoying the car; I wish you many safe and happy miles!
Regards, Mike (previous owner).

Thanks for your kind message Mike. Quick question, what product have you used to clean the windscreen? Rain beads up a treat and the wipers glide over the screen effortlessly, I'm assuming some kind of glass sealant?

looks great mate.

what suspension mods does it have..and poly bushes ??

Thanks. Judging by the stack of paperwork it's had Pedders Dampers all around, Road Response Pack and some other bits such as replacement drop link bushes, strut top bearing and rear sub frame bushes.
The car feels very fresh to drive and does not at all feel like it's 11 years old.
