Boosted Falcon

i love VN SS'

fella at work bought a manual one with a 355 and carby fed for $4500 but it broke haha,

got any interior pics,

Those wheels and gearbox are the only cool thing about this. Wrong type of car, wrong type of motor, wrong type of supercharger. Nice try though!

lol.. i wont even go there.

but yeah its definatley a genuine ss shame the spoiler was removed i like them... got new tail lights, lhf indicator and headlight today, teenie step closer to rwc... also got new handbrake lever ill put in on tuesday at work (no jack so ill use a hoist lol) cos the ratchet in this ones fucked and a lil annoying lol

drove past it outside your house today bentley.

looks tough, seemed pretty straight to, not a bad price given everything thats in it.

it will be good to see it loose some of the typical holden items though (monster tacho / stickers). keep up the pics it will be good to watch its transformation.

Good job Bentley. I must admit I'm not a VN fan but that certainly looks like the pick of the bunch.

My eyes! the goggles do nothing!

J/K... looks like a tuff ride.

S/C has to come off for a rwc?

know someone who'd probably sell his vn ss for 7k might not be charged but be a f load more original then that, nice buy but you paid a little to much imo.

Who cares about original,Its only an SS

these are the comments i knew id get and to be frank i dont give a ****... vortech blower kit intercooled from capa is $7k alone. add in respray, extractors, full twin 2.5"exhaust, clubsport interior, motor, gearbox, all new ball joints bushes etc etc... its a no brainer... vn ss is like a eb xr8 at the end of the day... just bogans pay more for an ss than an xr8

I don't think you paid to much for a worked SS

I just think you payed to much for a holden in general.

Btw, you say EL XR8s go for 9ish still... I think that's because they are 8 years newer and 8 years less homo.

But... Supercharged V8s are still hot.

I don't mean any offence, just telling the truth.

Any pics of interior Bentley?

ill try get some up today lol im a tad too lazy rofl... yeah nut347 i know els are newer etc, but really at the end of the day what does an el have over this? both live axle, both pushrod v8, same gearbox(if manual) essentially same diff, interiors are like different and shit but els dont have any more real features over this (other than trip computer...wow) so for bang for buck etc i think its pretty good still considering... and no offence taken... its one of those cars you see the pics and you think gee thats pretty clean but i dunno if id pay that much... you go for a spin in it, and you just want to fork over cash straight away ahahaha

Meh who cares how much you paid for it. Its your money, your choice. Sick car

here are pics as requested...




i get all the chicks with my 5" tacho

tacky engine bay stickers gone... more shit to disapear soon...

sits too low at the back... looks cool. but front isnt that low, and it scrapes everywhere real bad.... and i feel like a full muzza spec siknt

I'm sorry mate, but raising the back isn't going to change that! I believe muzza spec was a standard factory feature if the VN SS!!

rather be mistaken for a hectic siknt than a retiree dude

skid videos with mint audio not loading.

Looks the goods mate. Not a fan of VN's either, but a boosted 8 can never be wrong.

Sorry Rollin, nothing beats the sound of a blown 8

nice pickup.. regardless of price

lol

The interior could probably do with a bit of a sharpen up, but your probably already looking into that. Whats the switch on the right hand side of the steering wheel for?

yeah man the interior needs a good clean de-muzza, and just fix up...

the switch is for the thermo... gonna be replaced with davies craig setup eventually... i dont want it over heating cos i forgot to turn it on rofl

yeah pete lol.. i dont like vn's either..... most vn's that is...

this goes pretty good. bout same as his ba but 100x better noise. work out how they are wired from factory and go back to that dude.

Hahaha, awesome, my plan worked then! Have fun getting to know the cops in your area on a first name basis!

bentls - it's not about the actual stats of the VN vs an EL...it's just the mabo and the consitiution of the thing. Body about as rigid as a wet shoebox with the lid taken off, front suspension and dashboard designed by stready eddie, that sort of thing.

At least you can thank the Lord it's not IRS, and the blower whine should drown out the all the creaks and rattles

PhAtEl...blown 8s would have a shitload more credibility if they actually had the bite to match the bark, but all the ones I've come into contact with (including and especially at Powercruise) have been very bloody soft in the pants. They're just bloody noisy all the time and then when you get on the gas the blower gets drowned out by the external gate on the turbo 6 that's rapidly overtaking you....ghey.

Still, whatever makes you happy

lol what rollin is trying to say is...
a VN = a VN shell on a VB chassis which was borrowed from a 1980 civic
all structural integrety comes from the excessive use of plastic in the interior.

all jokes aside, just like a falcon, with certain mods they can be made to handle ok, but you would kneck yourself if you owned a V6 version...

get it on the rollers, keen to see what it makes.

That structural integrity is what makes it so much nicer with a spool compared to a falcon.

blown 5ls are pretty cool, i rate them over turbo 6s.
i got both so no point any of you fags trying to argue.

that blue plate on the blower will tell you what model vortech it is, if it's fairly new it'll be a V2. would you say the whine with the bonnet up is physically painful to your ears? if so the gears are straight cut. if its just a happy whine its an SQ.

I would proudly drive aorund in that thing. Mint.

It's a v1 but I can't see if it's t trim or s trim dunno where that's printed

Finally you got a car, now no excuses for not coming out Good pick up!

bentls wrote:It's a v1 but I can't see if it's t trim or s trim dunno where that's printed

it's straight cut gears then, no helical in V1.
t-trim has bigger comp wheel and inlet, 3.5" for s-trim vs 3.75" for t-trim.

nice car vn-vs 5 litres sound wicked and looks like you got one in good nick. well done

Nice work dude I've had a charged VN bt1 (non-intercooled), 3;9s, shift kit, locker. Is probably the car i miss most.. bet it goes heaps good with the manual!

+1 for going 355 oh & that steering wheels is worth a mint in good nik! congrats!

nice work bentley! The VN SS is a tough looking car. definitely need to put the SS sticker kit back on, i think you can get them from rare spares. without it it just looks like a faker.

Well holden or ford, who gives a shit its a blown V8, SKID VIDS or BAN.

I can't see the [CMYFPN] pics, please fix asap.

sounds alright, fairly subtle for a VN

How does commando have 10144 posts. WTF!
