Man, you guys have some great cars over there, just checking out your pics from your Meet. Its great to see our cars over there and people enjoying them!. I drive a VT2 Gen 3 Berlina. The berlina is a semi high spec vehicle over here, not the base model, not the top, but about the middle. Just have exhaust and Intake mods so far but enjoy the power of the V8!. Please check out www.ls1.com.au if you get a chance, its a forum over here and if you can't find what you need to know about these cars on there its not known! great info on modifying these cars. we have about 12000 members and always growing!

Regards
Steve

Hey there blokes... and welcome...

Man, global warming can't happen here quick enough. -6 this morning.. mind you it would be a great idea to figure out a way to have heater side mirrors, and instant all over car defrost.

I have an Omega estate here which is very similar to the Berlina I had in Syd but only 4/5ths scale. Anyway it has heated mirrors and they look like the commodore mirrors and therefore can't be too different from the Monaro mirrors.. actually Raggyman your is a commodore variety isn't it?
There must be lots of Omegas in the wreckers but I know it is a local sport here to smash mirrors when hooning down country lanes.
