| First I gotta get off my arse and fit the 454, then I'll finish the interior. Paint will have to wait for a bit cause i'm out of cash. One thing at a time i guess. Check out my profile and feel free to comment (I know theres not enough pics, i'll put some more on when I get some time) |

| Let's hope you're right, Iguess I'll find out how good when Iget it in there and give it run. As soon as it is in I will have it dyno tuned so I'll let you know how much power it has but who knows when i'll get it down the 1/4. Cheers. |

| QUOTE (hotsv1 @ Nov 17 2004, 04:52 PM) | thx for ur comment:) u have got a nice commodore urself. p.s how come u go from VR n step back to a VP?? u like older commodores??
holden all da way~ |
I wouldn't really a 'step back' as this car goes sooo much harder than my previous VR. I kinda have a soft spot for VP's anyway... One question, where did you get your T-Wing from?? Looks like it came straight off a VR/VS Supercar! Pretty schnazzy if I do say so myself  |

yes, the T-wing is supercar style wing, got from nz shop that makes bodykits, i am sure there is few shop make that wing in AU too, seen it in some megazines. i dont like the T wing at first, but then, it makes car look more agressive then standard wing, aggressive is the look i am aiming at, thats why i still go with the T wing. now i like the look of the whole package~
depends on ppl, some like my car and some hate my car. there's one 7 year old kid walked past my car and said, what a UGLY car, but then, lot of holden fans walked by and said, CAN I SEE UR ENGINE BAY? some go on the floor and look under the car. there some ppl against my T wing, mainly my family. they got used to it, soo~~ for ppl like my car, good on ya, ppl dont like my wing or car~~~ get use to it hahaha~~ |

That's the way!!! It's your car, not theirs. It's like that over here too. Aggressive is kinda what I'm aiming for as well, but I also wanna keep it looking subtle. I think mine pulls that look off nicely.
PS: You actually let a 7 year old call your car ugly?!  |

want aggressive look but subtle at same time? i think subtle look and aggressive horse power is very nice^^.. i agree ur car hp and look match nicely~~ where u want ur project to end?
well, about that 7 year old, cant do nothing about it, i am in da car, they are behind the car, and there is an 'women' taking care of the 7year old. .. well, i could always put car in reverse, and roll them over.MY two big fat tire would roll them over nice n flat~hahaha.. (just kidding  ).
there is lot of ppl out there, criticising others rides, but most of them either have a crappy car, or NO CAR at all. i think ppl should appreciate others effort. even though not their taste.

i have put 2 4" computer fan blowing fresh air in, and 2 4" fan sucking hot air out. . it let air flowing more freely to cool the amps more effecient. i installed on side of the supporting frame, and covered by top board, thats why u dont see it

Hi, the spoiler are not cheap, those are carbonfibre ones, i am sure u can buy it in Australia, ask Good spoiler shops, they should know where to get them, those are VR group A rear T wing. i think if u wanna modify ur car, if u want out side look good, start with the bottom half of the car, such as, spring, big wheels, or bottom half body kit, make the car look bigger first before u buy that wing, becuase else it will look 'too much' .
