[mitchy]

not a fan of the rims.. but the rest of the car and specs sound pretty good!

love panther mica too, parents had a VS wagon and sedan in that colour.

[ED40]

Always been a fan of these Jarrod. 6 speed and stroker.. can't argue with that. Any plans on changing the rims??

[Zuicider]

i just exploded in my pants

[Gr3mlin]

Thats the colour my SS was....

Great find Jarrod, waiting 9 months to find one.... determination at its best

[RICEY]

Nice car, VR GTS still the fav of all my cars.

Pretty sure its a 350 not a 355 could be wrong.

[RICEY]

You know this for sure or your mate told you so?

[vrocious]

i'd like to get a set of vy gts rims to throw on there but will try and get some other stuff sorted first that needs doing

[DanWA]

Its a 350.

Yes Ricey VR GTS's are nice, yours was VERY nice, until you hit a tree in it.

Nice car vrocious, get it for a good price? looks clean as!

[vrocious]

Never hit a tree in my life, get your facts right clown.

[vrocious]

yeah price wasnt bad, needs some tlc
sideskirt needs plastic welding as it has a crack, front bar respray (cuz i'm anal about it) and then minor shit like new battery new key drivers door actuator and a rubber for the drivers window channel

[RICEY]

Gimmee a holler for the holden parts will see if I can get them cheap(er)

[DanWA]

Memory is slipping, was something to do with running off the road in the hills though, who cares that was history, was a hot car though!

How many k's vrocious? least its straight as!

As for power/performance mine ran a 14.0 completely stock and 250rwhp on a hub dyno, think it was 245rwhp on a roller. Cant remember what the diff ratio was in the hydratrak think it was 3.45s, yours may be a bit quicker with the 3.9s. They go very well for the time they came out :)

[RICEY]

fence post :P

A farkin large one at that !

[vrocious]

i'd be happy with a pig in shit if it will do 13's with a proper flowing exhaust

its supposed to have a baby cam but when i rang bill lee to ask him he wasnt willing to help at the time

[FitzyB]

shes a good find dude, better than some of the others we went and looked at :p

cant wait to see her all cleaned up and up to your usual standards of fastidious owndership :)

btw, SKIDZ!!!!

[DanWA]

Yeah Bill Lee is a pingpingpingping for service

[RICEY]

Exhaust isnt too bad the main restriction is the intake manifold

[SLE 355]

Looks mint dude, Id keep the polished tri spokes on, They suit the VS HSV's nicely!
Also, Im told the stroker 5.7's are 348ci ....

[vrocious]

[SLE 355]

Could always ask someone who works at Holden Ricey :)

[DT95WA]

nice find jarod, now dont gay this one up with ya roof herpes and she be good

[blownVL]

vs gts and clubbys are probably my favorite out of all hsv's so bombed, the tri spokes are ugly but look tops on the vs's.

[RICEY]

[Stef]

nice pickup jarod, finally found one hey?

[YOUR MATE]

nice pickup jarod, finally found one hey?

Nah he didnt, he just chucked his plates on one in a carpark for pics.

Defo nice ride, always have a soft spot for these, and I've never been a 5l fan. So good seeing a clean one out on the road, and they sound bombed with a good set of pipes.

[Lonewolf]

always been a fan of these, stroker, 6spd and big brakes.

tri-spokes are a fail on any car, some later model rims will look bombed.

what are these worth?

[Jmoore]

eh jarod is ok i guess...

<3

Craig's old car! Not a bad rig that one, i know the last two owners of this one. Not sure if it has a cam though, may have been a slight dragon. How much did you get it for if you dont mind me asking? i know he was keen to sell so he could go over to sydney.

[vrocious]

yeah man craigs old car, he thought there may have been a baby cam in it from the owner before hand and when i rang up bill lee with the job number he didn't want to hep at the time. got it for 15, he wanted a fourby when i looked at it first time then when i picked it up he found a 250rr i think it was he wanted to get

[PSI 304]

I dont think that Noel put a cam in, not that i know of anyway. Probably a good thing craig got a fourby, was only a matter of time before he got himself into trouble. You've got yourself a good base for a project though. those harrop 5.7's in the GTS's are a strong engine and will handle punishment fairly well.

[Scaf]

Bombed. Makes me miss mine even more..

[31-EVO]

Nice buy man, I'd kill for one in the cherry red from the factory.
Best of luck with it :)

[family guy]

one night at the blue light drags a Gts and a Gts R both got out on the track for 3rd gear burn outs. madness

[VT SS]

good to see you waited the time to get what you wanted mate :D

fuck they are nice cars ! should of got some ls1 love thou :P

[VS5LUTE]

I crack 3rd and mines only a 5L lol....

Nice GTS, if you decide to sell those wheels give me a PM..
