Daily(Not so much) VY SS Series II

[Chompy]

well after my shit run in buying cheap daily's and having them die at the hands of me and my father I decided to go a nice cruising/comfortable car as a daily, and bought it off a family friend so its been looked after.

not much to it so here it is:

2004 VY SS series II
Black
Automatic
Leather interior
twin 3inch catback X-Force exhaust

picked it up for $17, 000 but it has only 66, 000 kms on it
ride height is something that will need attention though

(yes i know there is a chev badge on the back, thats how I bought the car)

Nice Daily mate, now for OTR and tune :)

[AGIT8D]

Twin 3" on an LS1, arghhhh. TOOO BIG!

Looks tidy though. :)

[H1GHROLLR]

^^^ twin 3 inch on both my ls1's dan :D <3 todd when is it going to wa perf for stall gears and tune :)

[Chompy]

It probably is too big but i dont really mind, its a daily so i dont want to do too much too it hahahahaha

I wish mark, wont be getting that done

[PSI 304]

There's an easy way to make the twin 3" exhaust suitable-ish.

OTR, extractors, mild cam, stall. Simple process, ~360+rwhp, good street manners, and should net some nice gains on your relatively fresh engine.

Lower it a couple inches and get factory rims sandblasted to get the powder coating off, polish them up...looks schmick!

Do it! :)

SImple process... LOL there is at least three days work there doing it yourself or $3k plus in labour.

[PSI 304]

I was trying to make it seem appealing!! lol

LOL that doesn't mean it's right! Plus neither of yours are stock.

[Chompy]

even as tempting as it is

[Chompy]

well I said no mods, but its been de-spoilered, put my Maloo 20's on and SSL's all round

dislike wheels, but yeh... haters gonna hate :p

[SSICK]

Maloo 20s fail hard........jus sayin. Wrong forum to be posting on.

[fieldy]

China dish plates!
Go back to original rims...

[31-EVO]

why the fuck do people do that ? You cannot honestly think that it looks good right ? VY SS wheels were one of the best Holden rims of our time.
Wingless is great, they do look so much better without the wings.

[RICEY]

VY SS rims look shite, those actually suit it imo.

+1 for wingless :D

[ruler]

Needs to go lower if you keep them rims :P
Though in saying that, they looked better on your maloo :P

[Chompy]

well I'm going to cop some grief for this but thought I'd update, VK has been sold as dad needed more room in his shed, building the LS1 for this next time I'm down, specs are as follows:
- LS1
- Bored (10thou), Honed and Decked Block
- Polished crankshaft (1 thou according to machinist)
- Chamfered Oil galleries on crank
- ARP Crank Bolt
- Mahle forged pistons w/rings, gudgeons and spiral retaining clips
- Cam bearings have been installed into block (apparently loctite?)
- Manley H-Beam 6.125" rods
- Balanced engine
- Trex Camshaft 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa
- Rollmaster double row timing chain
- ARP Cam bolts
- morroso Oil Pump
- Comp Cams Double valve springs (w/comp cams valve stem seal)
- Manley Pushrods (still yet to measure length)
- ARP Head studs
- stock 241 casting heads are still being utilised
- All bearings and new gaskets are being used

- 3500rpm Dominator high stall

It is a cheapish build and I know not many people like the rims but for the moment I'll just get the current ones painted...

[Chompy]

Most of my stuff is back now so will start measuring and putting the motor together

Yesterday and last night just made slow progress, gapped all the rings, checked main bearing clearance and just sat the crank in there (lightly oiled the bearings).

[Turbo2.6L]

Forged internals & stock heads? That shit crraaayyyy son.
Higgins heads, smaller cam & boost you big tart.

[Chompy]

haha no boost, im not crayyyyyy enough for boost

[Turbo2.6L]

Fag

[Chompy]

apparently the cam is suited to stock heads, would be good to see the results, could work, or could be absolutely retarded and make me look like a dick, im thinking the second part

[Lasoya]

Like Dean has said, For the time you have spent doing forged internals it would be a waste of time to put stock heads on it, nothing but good things with the higgins heads

[Chompy]

as much as I'd like to run higgin's heads the budget would b blown out of proportion, with still maintaining under 5g for the motor build its kept costs down, and the fact of running stock heads the idea is to get good results

but like i said, it could work and it couldn't. will still be an entertaining daily

[Chompy]

i know the running gear is up there but for a cam only the results are there

http://www.thunderracing.com/customerscars/?action=view&ccid=36&x=8&y=8

[ASSASIN]

300 shot will make up for stock heads

[Chompy]

this?

[SSICK]

I'll cut you a sweet deal.....gt3582r turbos, gates, BOVS, fittings and the plazmaman 450x550 cooler for 5k.

[Chompy]

Picked up a single plane manifold and fast throttle body, will be under a retro hdt scoop though, not out the bonnet, Aeroflow fuel rails also have arrived at home

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/5933B439-D91C-4160-9936-D6F700E02DE3-6137-000003915EC27FF7.jpg

[wormbo2]

Fuck yes, loved the idea of the high rise manifold.
Will you be going EZY-EFI (sp?) for it, or Edelbrock, or something else to manage it all?

The HDT hood idea should save a fair few hassles, seeing as mr. Plod disagrees with anything protruding from le hood.

[Joe]

I love the built motor, tweaked transmission, aftermarket manifolds and bog stock cylinder heads.

[Chompy]

Haha as stupid as it sounds the stock heads have been a proven combo, not for horsepower but still running good times

And with the hood it shouldn't be too bad as its under the 75mm legal clearance

[Chompy]

Heads are on and torqued, measure pushrod length and getting pushrods tomorrow. Will put it all together tomorrow night/Saturday morning and then Monday take it down for the engine dyno

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/CE14F9DB-CC38-41E5-955B-B23B418245D2-3106-0000016339F001BC.jpg

[wormbo2]

Standard balancer? Not bothered about squeezing a underdriven pulley on, considering everything else (except heads....joe!) is upgraded?
Does the UD pulley actually do anything, or is that just bs hype to make muppets buy it?

[Chompy]

This balancer is just on so I could locate the front timing cover (easier to do It this way when the sump is off)

[Chompy]

With the motor originally doing 300, 000kms i thought it would be ideal to the rockers, so a set of 1.7:1 Howard's Cams roller rockers were purchased.

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/6AC7EDFE-3708-47A1-A5B2-0C84BEA47859-1861-00000067AC833F87.jpg

And with the manifold the air filter will be protruding the bonnet but being a daily still i needed some sort of scoop to cover it. As many people have got them already but though the hdt retro scoop will be ideal for the application

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/E4676DE0-B2C5-440E-9A51-63A92F7F6588-1861-00000067D217BABD.jpg

[wormbo2]

That bonnet cowl>walkinshaw version. Any day, it's big enough to be noticed, but not wanky.

[Chompy]

Yeah I made the mistake of going a Walky bonnet with my ute, now to get rid of my other mistake, cheap china chrome wheels haha

[31-EVO]

Good girl, those rims are fucking horrid.

[Chompy]

It's hard to be different with a commodore these days so I'm not going to even try, found 2 VE ssv's so hopefully find another 2

[Chompy]

Engine is just about ready for engine dyno, just need to fit the sump and I'm all good to go

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/07866934-B7C4-4A96-B0F7-B133DDB38294-10671-000003937168DC6E.jpg

[Jumanji]

BBS LM's, coilovers, do it Todd....

[31-EVO]

Borgz is onto it, fucken do it.

[Jumanji]

Borgz is onto it, fucken do it.

Bought 20'' x 10'' ones for my G6 cannot wait to buy coilovers and get them on! :D

[Chompy]

So stress levels kicked in today, was supposed to get up at 6am to get it ready, sorted and in the back of the ute to be at Performance Unlimited to strap it to the engine dyno, and I woke up at midday.

got there at 2:30 and started to bolt everything up, was continuously running through my head making sure everything was done. finally it started and no knocking or rattling from start-up. 2 run in sequences were done and was getting towards the end of the day so it will get another run in tomorrow then power runs, unfortunately wont be there for it as I fly up to work in the morning.

[Chompy]

engine didnt do too well on the dyno as I think i screwed up cam timing, Ive got excuses to why but im not gunna use them, just accept the mistake and learn from it. a positive, no knocking though or rattling which is always a good sign.

On another positive I have purchased some new 20inch wheels. peoples opinions? they were bought from OzzyTyres (over east)

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/BA1C5095-8881-428C-8C73-7796722F1AA6-3314-00000184D05455DC.jpg

[Chompy]

done a quick photoshop with the wheels

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/sswheels_zps71b9aab6.jpg

[wormbo2]

WWWAAAYYYYY BBBEETTTEEERRR!!!!

These new rims will set the whole thing off nicely I reckon.

[31-EVO]

New rims are spot on man I'd even like a set

[Chompy]

cheers guys, bout time i lashed out and bought some decent wheels, trying some other add ons to exterior without going crazy. got a senator roof spoiler and a calais boot lip coming, the boot will be welded so no more holes

[Chompy]

Turns out I lined up the dot with the keyway 0 not the crank gear 0, so timing was a tad out. All sorted anyway and yesterday pulled the motor out, new one is in with the th350 and only a few little things left to do but Justin from BYE Performance is going to finish a few things off for me as I fly out Tuesday.

[wormbo2]

Does the gearstick ratcheting line up the 'P, R, N, D' any good? Or is it way out?
If so, how do you know exactly what cog you're on?

[Chompy]

Not quite, I'll be getting the normal selector things changed and I'll get a small sticker re-done so it shows what gear your in on the surround anyway.

[Turbo2.6L]

how do you know exactly what cog you're on?

Common sense.

[wormbo2]

Was that actually necessary?

[Turbo2.6L]

Was your original comment? Use your brain.
What do you use as a guide when driving a manual car? Do you need to look down at the stick to see wheat position it's in, or do you use your head whilst up/downshifting?

[Chompy]

Hahaha

[wormbo2]

I know exactly how to judge my vehicle and what gear it is in. Not everyone does.
But fair call.

Was just drumming up banter, letting Chompy have a chance to yarn a bit.
Find me a bloke on AL who doesn't like to chat about his pride and joy. :)

[Chompy]

all good wormbro

ah well just been off the phone to motorvation and i gotta call them tomorrow but its on the verge of not being accepted. pretty dissappointing really but i guess thats what you get for owning a commodore, too common

[Chompy]

Justin has fitted the filter and I believe I may need a bigger scoop

can almost guarantee the amount with high rise manifolds and filters out the bonnet will be off the scale. its the new 2 tone.

[Chompy]

it will be getting a scoop over it tom..

[Chompy]

started it up with base tune the other day and idle was good, it runs just sorting jot a few issues atm with it but through the auto and 1 5/8 tri-y's it made 386rwhp and 789nm of torque

[31-EVO]

Scrumptious idle

[Chompy]

Getting a few little things sorted for mv
Melted the shifter cable so will be getting one which is more heat resistent

[31-EVO]

Love it, needs more videos though tbh

[Chompy]

Still with the China chromes, get new wheels today

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3GT7BWUsaRc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Azrian]

just get a standard shifter cable but put it in a heat proof sleeve similar to wiring heat sleeves.

[Turbo2.6L]

Or don't lean it on the exhaust. Same same but different...

[Tocchi]

or dont shift gears ... leave in first
mang mang mang mang

[Turbo2.6L]

This is an option as i hear Todd does 1st gear skids

[Chompy]

just get a standard shifter cable but put it in a heat proof sleeve similar to wiring heat sleeves.

Ran standard b&m shifter with sleeve and wrapped other around box as per instructions but still no good
Apparently the automotive ones are good so will see how that goes, and excuse me dean, I neutral drive that shit

[esky]

If that fails blame the box, i'll give you full refund.

[Chompy]

Ah ffs lack of sleep makes my posts look like I'm a crazy man

I got the box checked out before putting it in, got told was okay, isnt okay, box was pulled out last night and it's getting looked st today/tomorrow

[Chompy]

New wheels are on

Looks the part, get the insert in the rear bumper painted same colour as car, I did mine and it looks heaps better.

VZ SS Tail lights would look sick too :D

[mattyb89]

Also try get one of those rear window shades love the look of them

[Chompy]

I've actually got a rear window shade and a Calais boot lip but couldn't get the boot welded or stuff painted by mv

[RICEY]

SS-V rims going on? Going to look like my car but faster hahaha

[Turbo2.6L]

SSV's are for skids at MV i believe. Can't run mismatched tyres on supercruise, so the cool pingpingpingpings get a second set of mags to overcome this :D

[stumps.]

so much chev badge

[RICEY]

Yeah Im not a fan of Chev centre caps and I have chev badges hahaha

[Turbo2.6L]

Next will be 2 tone...

[Chompy]

haha centre caps will be gone and I think I'll chuck a holden badge on the back after mv
no two tone
scoop will be done after mv too after I sort out a new filter arrangement

Have you got your speedo sorted out ?

[Chompy]

car performed well for a home built motor at gazzanats, next time ill listen to people when they say go a t400 not a th350, box gone but had some fun, motor held strong and didn't skip a beat. was nervous as hell on the pad and its been a really long time since i've been on one but i had a lot of fun!

love the limiter bashing

[wormbo2]

Fuck me! This thing does a bombed skid!! Good job man

[SSICK]

why didnt you run with the PUNISHR plates? more suited.

[Chompy]

ended up selling them SSICK, these were just from my ute but i thought they would be better than the stock plates so chucked them on last minute.

[Chompy]

Bit of an update, after numerous swaps offering me vt commodores and $3500 'kesh' I decided to keep it, whether I was asking too much or the world is populated of rockinghamians I dont know.

Dad has given me his TH350 out of his corvette so I dropped that off at dimoff's so he is changing the valve body over,
ordered a fibreglass bonnet and 4 inch reverse cowl from Alfa motorsports, I could of gone the steel reverse cowl but thought I'd just get the whole bonnet.
Nitrous kit is purchased, also upgrading to 1-7/8 extractors and 3inch pipes. hopefully this will be better for when it gets retuned.
as soon as I get more dollhairs together I'll drop the car down and get 3.9s and a tru-trac, fitted.

[Chompy]

Bonnet has been finished and got sent this morning

Subtle

cops wont notice it at all.

lol

[Chompy]

but I wanted to do something different

[mr_mike]

gonna chuck on SLR5000 flares as well?

[Chompy]

nah just an slr5000 bobtail

[Tre-Cool]

in all honesty, how much did it cost? might need to have something similar done for the drag car.

[Chompy]

For the 4inch cowl and the bonnet delivered was $1250. Could of got it cheaper elsewhere but Alfa do quality work

[Chompy]

Ordered another set of wheels, being cheap ass again but buying the mc motorsport 20s, getting rear guards pumped a little bit to fit the 9.5s on the rear. Cant justify spending big dollars on genuines FRs on the ss.

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/ChompyR8/Screenshot_2013-07-30-21-02-01-1_zpsc3e04dd8.png

[SLY346]

can you order those wheels with a polished lip? in the pictures on their ebay ads the black ones have a painted black lip.
looks miles better with that polished lip IMO.

Yeah, I think they have a few sets coming in, I ordered the ones with the polished lip as I wasnt too fond of all black

[Chompy]

Slowly getting all the pieces together for powercruise, hopefully it'll be ready in time

[Chompy]

bit of an update, purchased a billet wheel s400 67mm Borg Warner turbo for it, so I dropped the ss off at AllBoost to have all the fabrication started, going to run it on e85 and hopefully have some more fun with it. I have given up on three speeds so will be moving to a 2-speed, realistically I'm a shit driver and just break stuff so I'll sacrifice driveability for some sort of reliability because going a turbo is reliable

Go reverse pattern, its heaps better then stock pattern.

how big is your box cooler?

[SSZ]

Go reverse pattern, its heaps better then stock pattern.

how big is your box cooler?

and why is that???

[S133LTR]

Because its much more convenient to cog from nuetral straight into first and keep going to your taller gears than cogging all the way through them and then back up as you drive.. especially with performance style set up..?

[SSZ]

For convenience??? Nar dont think so. i would rather have engine braking. and in reverse patten when you pedal it (like in a burnout) it free spins and going from free spining to smashing on the power cant be healthy for any box

[SSZ]

And what if you need to go to nuetral while driving? You have to come to a stop to go back down the gears then to nuetral

[Daisy]

i`d much rather have to go back to 1st and then into neutral than the possibility of going to smashing top gear and getting neutral by mistake and over reving it.

pretty sure its only th400's that can free spin depending on valve body. i was pretty sure all glides engine braked, mine does (i`m farily sure, its has been 2 years since ive driven it tho lol) and its reverse pattern.

its also more natural to 'pull' gears than to push to go up cogs.

[heavyduty1340]

The fuck you on about??? you on drugs pingpingpingping??

Almost ALL drag cars utilize reverse pattern for fucking CONVENIENCE!!

If you are going to be "pedalling it:" all the time, chances are you are going to be using a built box anyway.

[SSZ]

Drag cars use reverse pattern because they use a transbrake... you cant have transbrake in forward pattern th400n you muppet

if you were using a good rachet shifter that is working correclty then it wont be a problem. yer th400s

[Daisy]

you do realise we are talking about powerglides right?

which can be forward pattern and transbraked

[Daisy]

[SSZ]

Realisticly we were only talking about shift patterns not a paticular box. most ppl i see or talk to just go reverse pattern because its the thing to do or what there mates have. I just like to see what people that might have a clue. i had a 400 in my car and went forward because it was a streeter. but i pulled the 400 out because there just no good for a daily

[Daisy]

Why is a 400 no good as a daily? Have one in my range rover and done plenty of km's on it. What have you replaced it with ?

Sorry for high jacking your thread Todd.

[SSZ]

Haha yeah sorry todd.

I just put the 4l60e back in. no good for a daily because with only 3 gears a 4500 stall and 4.11s in rev'd a bit high when cruising and used a fair bit of fuel. plus the th400 being manual ment i had to do the gear changes insted of the ecu but maybe im just lazy... put the 4l back in and so much nicer to drive

[heavyduty1340]

Drag cars use reverse pattern because they use a transbrake... you cant have transbrake in forward pattern th400n you muppet

Prized fuckwit!!

Gee my super sedan runs REVERSE PATTERNED TH400 and no fucking transbrake, oh an d I have a good ratchet shifter.

[Chompy]

Haha all good guys,

I've got the reverse pattern 3 speed in mine ATM and love it, so much easier to use and feels a lot more comfortable when driving.

No offence or anything SSZ, if you are worried about using too much fuel in a V8, then they do sell something that may be more useful, a Toyota Prius....

[Tre-Cool]

adding fue lto fire, our t400's in our drag cars are not reverse pattern. they are p-r-n-3-2-1

so u start out on the bottom and bash your way forward during the run. apart from beingthe opposite to the ve tapshift, you get used to it.

Todd said he was going two speed. I said get reverse pattern. Now put 2 and 2 together and you get reversed pattern powerglide. 400s are fine for the street, so long as the driver isnt a massive fuckwit.

[Tocchi]

My glide is
P-R-N-n-2-1
The big N being the proper neural

[Damo 69]

My glide is

Surprisingly good

you'd get 400 from a tank? metres

theres a difference between using too much fuel and spending $200 a week on fuel... The main reason for removal was the 4l60e was so much nicer to drive

[Turbo2.6L]

Race cars with reverse pattern and no transbrake are pointless, faedy. Only reason for having reverse pattern is to accommodate a transbrake I. A case that otherwise wouldn't allow for one, aka the C4.
In. Street car there is nothing worse than reverse pattern. Yes I have had one, I now have a forward pattern auto & it's much more convenient/natural IMO as well.

[esky]

Reverse pattern works the same as a zf shifter. i.e pull back for a higher gear, it's much more natural.

Carparks and 3 point turns etc are much better with reverse pattern. r-n-1 two shifts of leaver is much easier then r - n -3-2-1 then back up again to reverse etc etc.

Its worse when you got no power steering and end up doing 5 point, plus rowing through gears. xd is forward c4 and its crap.

IMO you being hanging out with SSZ to long.

[DISTRBD]

no good for a daily because with only 3 gears a 4500 stall and 4.11s in rev'd a bit high when cruising and used a fair bit of fuel.

Sounds more like a racecar then a daily ..

Bit of an update, my 90 degree elbow arrived and I have just ordered the throttle body, raceport bov's and 60mm turbosmart powergate, getting there slowly but surely, also 75L fuel cell boot install is started

[Tre-Cool]

wheres the exhaust from the drivers side coming into that header?

[huggy_b]

I love the progression of the "daily" :D

[Chompy]

Its a header into a crossover pipe around the front then up to the merger

[Chompy]

I know it's not everyones cup of tea but I'm running an edelbrock intake elbow with a edelbrock 90mm throttle body, hoping for an even distribution to all cylinders this way, in theory it should work......

Plenty of yanks use them or similar without issues and run big numbers - I'd be surprised if people hate on a performance modification!

[Chompy]

Finally got the Fuel cell, even though it is just sitting in there currently

[Chompy]

Finally a bit of progress. Just need to pick up stainless flanges for the race port bov tomorrow and once they are welded then the intake sides of things will be finished

[Stef]

look intriguing! in a good way!!

[-Luke-]

"daily" lolwut.

looking awesome nice work mate.

[Tre-Cool]

While I like that this is out there styling wise for the turbo kit.

This thing is gonna cop a yellow so quick once it hits the road. You going to try and get it engineered?

[SSICK]

get a hektik drop tank made for it and use the original filler. 95L fuel cell looks ridic in the boot.

Will be a sweet events car if it makes reliable power. Not so much a street car haha.

[Chompy]

Got the reverse cowl bonnet for it. Hopefully all works to plan, some of the work im going to go over and I'm actually going to drop the fuel cell down flush with the boot floor.
Not entirely happy with how high it is in the boot, cant even fkn fill it up!

[Chompy]

Cleaned her up a little bit (better than the pig sty it was left in and got the phone camera out for some pics)

"my father I decided to go a nice cruising/comfortable car as a daily"

[SSICK]

whats on the roof?

[DAN [GTI]]

whats on the roof?

This came up in another thread. It was a crocodile skin wrap that he / his mate put on for Motivation.

[Chompy]

haha crocodile roof wrap that jared @ unique detailing put on the roof before motorvation couple years back, it'll be coming off but only just got my car back after much messing around

[kurbn]

jesus christ! cant wait to see the figures

[Chompy]

So after a few headaches the car is back on track again, gearbox is in and tailshaft done, new stall built and installed, ASE turbo kit used instead of the other one.........

[Shnoog]

Looking good. What were the problems you had?

[DAN [GTI]]

Did you use the ASE 800 OR 1000?

[Chompy]

I already had the turbo so was the kit minus turbo, still the billet bw.

The manifolds that were made had the crossover run under the balancer and across the alternator so didn't allow for air cond.
Also the turbo flange was drilled to m12 and couldn't put a stud in the flange as the merge into the flange was too close and couldn't get a bolt in

[Chompy]

Rolled her out and put the new wing on, being talked into a cage by Jose @ ITP for racewars if I get in so I will see how it all goes

[Passage GT]

what power are you expecting?
if it's anywhere what i'd think you'll need a fair bit more rubber for racewars? or anywhere else lol

[Chompy]

not 100% sure as of yet, with stock heads i'll be happy with 600rwhp, keeping in mind through auto with 3.08:1 diff gears.

I want to do the heads and also larger turbo in the not too distant future

[Chompy]

Saturday was a good day, trimmed the front bumper and got it to fit, ran the ECU/BCM under the dash. removed the roof wrap also

[Chompy]

So yesterday was the day the SS was turned over, it's only a commodore but after the drama I've had with the process it's awesome to hear her run without a drama!!

[-Luke-]

Skids?

[Tre-Cool]

I'd be spending money on brakes before a roll cage if your planning on entering race wars.

stock brakes will be fine for 400m runs, but after that you need bigger/consistent stopping power.

[TJ]

Eta to skids

[phatboy]

wow. nuff said.

[n1ghth4wk]

Is this still your daily?

[Chompy]

Not so much daily now and I can't change thread title

609rwhp and 1240nm torque. Nothing close to what most people are getting but I am more than happy with that result!

[Tre-Cool]

lol most people being who?

that's an awesome result, much higher than I thought it would go with the t400.

what was the boost level?

[Lonewolf]

should turn a tire on wet grass

[Chompy]

lol most people being who?

that's an awesome result, much higher than I thought it would go with the t400.

Was at 14.1psi

[Passage GT]

[Chompy]

[RUSSGT]

Awesome!

[SimonR32]

That's a very tasty power band!

[stumps.]

Awesome

[RH8 GTR]

Good to see one that's not blown! Do like a lot

[Chompy]

Still yet to take it for a test drive although I will have her down at Cars and Coffee on the 28th

[Chompy]

Friday afternoon went for a road test and safe to say was an interesting ride.

Entered Motorvation, last night she went on, boost up to 15psi and ended up with 624.5rwhp

[Chompy]

had to modify the bonnet for the intake pipe

[stumps.]

[fuzzmeisterr]

Trailer? It's a daily, Dailys don't need a trailer

[Rb_sil]

Trailer? It's a daily, Dailys don't need a trailer

also dont need a hoon law charge 3 days before MV :P lol
self control would need to be very strong hahaha

[SSICK]

Goodluck.

hear way too many 'broke it **days before MV'

[Chompy]

Thanks to whoever changed the title of this thread haha

First few passes were a lil different since last time I ran down the drags,
last time was in my Maloo with china chrome 20s.

quickest was 10.71 @ 130mph/ 1.73 60' on 26 x 8.5 r15.

My drag racing experience is very minimal so I am appreciative of what I had ran tonight and keen for motorvation!

[mARC]

Just finished reading this thread from start to finish.

Good on you for sticking to the original plan :D

[Chompy]

Motorvation was a lil bit fun, ran into a few dramas but come back sunday, fitted a new alternator and thoroughly enjoyed the day!
First time getting some good wheel time out of it was a bit daunting but enjoyed it immensely

that looks fucking bad ass out and about

[S133LTR]

Im betting it does more than look bad ass ;)
Killer car dude.

[Chompy]

Haha cheers guys!

Keen to lap it down the coast and get to a few antilag events!

[Passage GT]

I'm very much not a commodore fan, especially considering their numbers at motorvation, but i love this car, it's hell tough and the rims are an awesome choice, looks better on them than it would on some bling 20s that's for sure.
awesome build dude

Rims are awesome to steer with, so much easier to keep her straight with the 165's

Went for a nice casual coastal today, car held up well with only a few dramas the finishing off of the tune will sort out

Cheers guys,

Hopefully make an antilag cruise sometime!
