My first new car
Discussion
Another lucky Monaro owner 
If you're impressed by the car in standard form, you'll be blown away by a modded one!
I'm not far from Stortford - I live in Stansted Mountfitchet. Might try and meet you at Charvills, I have a silver 04 CV8.

Took my brother in law out in the Monaro this afternoon whilst the family was at the Ma in laws.
He drives a Volvo estate normally, 2 kids, that sort of thing.
He loved it.
I didn't smoke it anywhere 'cos people can get a bit freaky about cars wiggling all over the place (and I've not got the hang of that yet
) but I did gun it in 2nd, 3rd & 4th. He actually whooped!
Caught him eyeing the car wistfully as we left.
[quote]Very nice, Booster has some competition for the best paintwork!

Car looks good but I'll bet it's covered in swirls (Vauxhall inflicted damage with dirty shamois lol)
Anyone want their car cleaned properly?! (and I mean properly) Open to calls at reasonable rates!

We must meet soon I can persuade you to change your diff (seriously good mod - possibly the best I have done) and you can show me your polishing tool. Got loads of swirls. I work pretty hard to keep mine clean and use all the meguiars stuff nut on black paint...
Change my diff?
I've only just bought it!
What's wrong wiv it?
Nothing wrong in the sense of mechanical failures. It is a mod as the styandrad diff is highly geared which blunts the acceleration.
Just had a RR session with Wortec today and the results are pretty impressive. Last week it was clocked at approx 4.6 secs to 60 and the same level of performance carries on...and on and on!
Changing teh diff is felt to be equivalent to adding circa another 50BHP so I am told. I can well believe it.
Booster - it is a lot quicker now than Silverstone!

The fuel consumption is not that bad! The various tunes and other mods seemed to improve the fuel consumption - the diff has pegged it back again a bit but still get circa 28/30 at motorway cruise speeds (legalish ones of course)
Know what you mean gto but over here theer are petrol stations every 20 miles or so - as long as there are no idiot spanic buying!
