Only pics i have for now.. im really lazy about that sort of thing.




and the all important


plans are undecided for now. I cant make my mind up on Walkinshaw or Wortec
want to get exhaust, remap, induction, lowering springs.. then maybe 'charger but that would be a while down the line

whats happening in the not so distant future is :

powdercoat the wheels black
paint the front and rear bumper bits black (where they are currently just plastic)
then the marmite part

fairly bright green stripe down the doors (much like the wortec design) and have the calipers done in the same colour.. also the VXR8 badge on the back (where its red, change that to green)

I have not done the ace myself but there are vids on youtube of rev ups... sounds awesome... if you like that sort of thing!
if you are gonna get a new exhaust then that is a good place to hear what they sound like. but all make different sounds on each car, honest.
I think you need to hear Sam's (s wo2tec) exhaust. I once saw a dog crap it's self when he drove past.

Welcome! Nice choice to de-badge (assuming you made that choice!), bit more stealthy and clean looking. black alloys...maybe an orange Wortec stripe!? would go down a treat to offset all that black wink

btw, personally I'd recommend the Wortec Exhaust and IC SC. Exhaust sounds/looks just that little bit nicer in my opinion, certainly prefer the wortec look to the oval walkinshaw pipes. The Wortec SC is purely that they're happier to wind it up a bit more for 600+BHP rather than the WP ~550 or so though I believe WP warranty the engine themselves if it's their SC?

Reckon you should try the Thunder Road at least, nice and steady introduction to the madhouse that is the HSV forum! driving
