Dylans HSV VE Maloo R8 #39 now with more EL :-(

[ed xr6]

hey mate why dont u put a xr8 bulge lol

[pHaT`eL]

lol.. Wheels yes. Bonnet no. There needs to be at least one panel that doesnt get an add on!!

[someLS1]

Powdercoat rims black will look mad!.... i dunno the bonnet buldge only seems to look good on the black ve walkinshaw car i always see advertised around the place

[LOW_XR]

haha so no-one like the walky bonnet heh? im looking at maybe getting a set of gts wheels or pentagons etc etc. then might look at the scoop later.

swaped coil overs over a while ago. brought the rear down nice and level for now.
then i chucked some shit in the back of it tonight and think the ride height is sick!

[someLS1]

That looks tough as with the new ride height

[bentls]

You just need to learn how to adjust those coilovers now lol. Also don't get pentagons. I fucken hate pentagons.
I had to fit tyres to gts wheels other day. I'm not doing it for u too lol

[4dlvr]

Stop spending on it and get a gt335 already hehe... I have to admit it is one tuff looking beast

[KR1STO]

I like the walky bonnet...! do it...
Slam it on 22's though man...!

[Rollin]

Walky bonnets are abortions, they don't do anything except make the car even uglier than it is.

The GTS rims are much better than the current ones though, definitely get them if you're not going to go aftermarket.

haha cheers man. just wish it was the height without the wood in the back

i hated pentagons too but ive seen them on a few ve's and they are growing on me.

lol cheers man. well im trying to get everyone on here to like my car so im in the middle of fitting a wrx front bar and eb taillights.maybe a few years down the track ill do clear side repeaters and a pod filter.

wheels would be genuine only. dont want to touch aftermarkets whatsoever.

[Rollin]

You'd get the most number of 'likes' if you set it on fire and posted the vid on facebook

I did a cam swap in a walkinshaw 'enhanced' (yep, note the italics...) SS last month, the bonnet wart was exactly that...a wart. Not particularly well made, slightly lifting at the edges and a bit floppy when you drove down the road.

I mean, if you're the type of dude that puts a pair of socks down his pants before he does clubbing, by all means, get a wart, but other than that, it's a shit idea. Money better spent paying off loan/bigger TV/night in a hotel room with coke and hookers/nitrous kit etc.

[LOW_XR]

ah sick. and your front bar has no movment while driving at all?

where would i find a nos kit for $230?

Dumped on GTS rims in the charcoal or black = tough!

Is it possible to get the Pontiac style bonnet on these?

[LUXO_8]

they're different on the front edge iirc, have a recess in them for the two grilles.... i reckon it would look good though

edit....yup

[Rollin]

Not from the vids I've seen, but I can't see it from the drivers seat so I give no fark. The bonnet wart was irritating because it was in the bottom of my vision the entire time I drove the car.

Is that 230 supplied, painted and fitted? Pretty bloody good price. Money would be better spent on hookers though. Male ones.

[burnt turtle]

Is that 230 supplied, painted and fitted?

he would be painting and fitting himself obviously, not that a nos kit would come anywhere close to that fitted haha
mate just keep it clean and factory looking, thats how ya surprise people. if ya gonna go bonnet shit then go huge wheels and on its guts ect ect
i love the sound of this car, i wish mine would grow up (2 more cylinders) to be like this

[LOW_XR]

http://adv1wheels.com/adv1wheels/index.php

yeah not really a fan mate. id like tokeep stock wheels on it. if i went aftermarket id go the same wheels bentley had on his ba when he sold it. not sure what they are called tho.

well i could always delete that bit in the middle of the bonnet. but yeah cant see me putting on a pontiac bonnet

[Dansedgli]

Is this turbo yet?

[LOW_XR]

dont need to dan. its making enough power without one

[misk]

i hear it doesnt do skidz...
a GT42 should help with that

[private9]

This is all you need!

Looking absolutely perfect with the new height.

haha dont temp me justin.
ive seen a few kits on ebay for about 3500 onwards. but i doubt a turbo would suit my cam. ive heard my cam wont work as well with a blower as it would with a smaller cam.

well if you'd rather spend money on male hookers thats up to you man.

yeah thats the problem with the walky bonnet. whenever you see one you expect it to be blown.
ill lower it a bit,gts wheels and over xmas ill try paint the caliper, and detail it a bit under the bonnet.

Do a bit of research on those cheaper kits on ls1.com.au....
GenRacing do a decent budget kit, not sure if they have a VE one ready, but I'll ask him next time I speak with them.

[LOW_XR]

yeah i saw those kits kicking around. i saw there stand at the commo cruise for charity. looked like good quality stuff.

[LOW_XR]

well i killed the clutch in this today.
went camping and it started making some pretty bad noises while i was up there. then was following the tow truck taking my tbird to work when the pedal hit the floor and couldnt select gears.
pulled into a side street in bayswater where it is now and checked the fluid , just to find clutch fluid is empty. jumped under car and fluid is pisssing out everywhere.
so new clutch, slave etc etc will be ghetting done in the next few weeks.

**** cars!

[XR_Lightning]

clutch had a pretty good run, surprised its lasted this long

[LOW_XR]

yeah its a about 62,xxx kms. not to bad. just couldnt of come at a worse time. was hoping to do some cruising over the holidays

[LOW_XR]

not sure where my pics went from this page. anyway here they are again and a few of the ute when i got back from camping. damn it got dirty lol.

[LOW_XR]

also who said cammed LS motors have shit fuel economy?

[stevo]

You really get 800kays from a tank?! No way?
Id have trouble not flooring your ute any chance I got

[justa6]

doesn't mean your gunna get that. looking good

[Troutman]

G'day Dylan,

Looking tops mate... did you figure out the tyre pressure monitoring in the end? I've got my owner's handbook here.

Also, how have you found the C&A people? They have a special on currently, $990 for tune and intake which if it's any good I would consider - they do servicing as well which I need.

[SVT8]

fark thats some good power, you got a vid clip of this thing?
