[Hayden]

nice upgrade ricky... good to see another cruiseinc guy here

[R1XSTA]

haha thanks Hayden.

No new updates on it yet. Still just growing to love the car and getting used to it, A lot more power than my old VR Commodore had. Gave me a scare yesterday, lost traction in 2nd and then into 3rd aswell. i didn't expect it, so still lets me know im not used to it just yet.

A future plan is to get a flashtune to hopefully get a little bit extra power & torque. Aswell as a Growler intake possibly. going to consider some 20s that someone has just given me an awesome idea on.

For the exterior i planned to get rear airbags but i got quoted $1300 for them from DW Customs. I thought that was a bit steep as for a commodore you can get them for about $1000 and they both run IRS springs, so im not sure what the go is there.

I've put my subs in, and have speakers waiting to go in. Bought some new Wheel cleaner and the difference it makes on the rims is amazing, also so effortless.

only $300 more for a BA over a commodore, that doesn't seem so bad.
especially given theres likely not as much demand.

[burnt turtle]

thats about the same price i got quoted, commo's are cheaper coz their suspension hasnt changed much in awhile so they are nice and cheap. ba's are only since 2003 (or 02). if ya get what im saying?

[R1XSTA]

Yeah i get what ya saying.

Commodores have the simple setup from 1988-1995 ..

Possibly going to look into an exhaust and what not soon. What size is the exhaust factory? 2" ??

[burnt turtle]

2.1/4"

[SLO4LT]

Pre sure i've seen it round just didn't take much notice while driving lol, Looks sweet as mate! Lovin' the interior! almost beats the color

[R1XSTA]

Yeah, The interior is the bit that sold the car for me.

Preferably i'd like to get some leather throw over covers made in white with orange to protect these. But its all stupid money!
