Hi all from Cranbourne Vic

Post by oatsie73 »

Hi everyone, I thought I had better get off my ass and introduce myself as I have already put a few posts up. I'm 37 years old married 3 boys aged 7,2 & 1 week. Our family car is a Holden VZ Crewman, yes I like Holdens and Fords......... anyway my wife said it's too big to do the running around in so I bought her an immaculate Argon Silver EF Fairmont Ghia series 2 and then like every other car I've bought her she said its nice but it needs wheels, lowering and exhaust & extractors, so that's what I did and then she said are you ready "it's good but I miss the grunt of my vx ss 6 speed manual 260rwkw". !#$@%!$^!$^ My brother and I both own our own Motor Mechanic businesses so we got talking and decided fine we'll boost it. that'll keep her happy !!!! So I've ordered everything including Stage 3 Snort Turbo kit, Iceman 1200 plenum, EMS Stinger, Wade Cam & 3" exhaust. Yes I know theres other stuff but I've decided that app. 280rwkw should keep her off my back for awhile hehehe and put me at Calder a few times of course. The car will be used for general running around and Boosted eseries cruises. I will be doing a Build Thread when I start in about 2 weeks. Also thanks to the people that have answered my posts I appreciate it, Toby.
