Really, I thought all holden utes had the holes behind the badge. Will attempt to remove the badge tomorrow.

Edit-
Just searched justcommodores and there isn't holes. Thanks GTRwilson.

There is a side street near the Gabba that has housing commission units, just park it out the front for the day and you will have no badges when you return, dead serious. Fuckers pinched the gryphon off the front of my Soarer years ago.

Started cutting the holes for the snorkel.

Holesaw shit itself halfway through. If there's one thing more daunting than drilling 7 holes in your front guard, one being 86mm......its leaving the job half done while you wait for your new holesaw to arrive in the mail.

Fiddled with driver side window switch as its being tempermental. Might have to replace

also covered B pillars with Ni-Doc Carbon Fibre Vinyl as they were faded to buggery and wasnt worth the hassle of painting.
Looks well schmick.

Had new front bar, headlight clusters, grilles-basically everything below the bonnet updated. Came out of the body shop today. Also, LED plate lights!

Pulled all wheels off, opened all brakes checked everything in search of annoying squeak. Found said squeak, put parts req on the to do list, tightened both front shock mounts.

25th August 2011 - 01:14 AM  Reply  Quote

Flushed out the aftercooler, filled, re-installed front bumper and uploaded my old 350hp tune, then drove it for the first time in 2 months.

Now it won't rev past 4K, so I have an S2000 with the number plates [vtec] but it doesn't actually have VTEC.....

Fitted HID low beams and 5000k high beam bulbs.
Trimmed underside of front bar lip to stop it hitting on everything.
Washed car.
Fitting new suspension tomorrow. Not lowering it just yet, just setting it up to handle a little better, as i'm waiting to see the clearance with the boat on the back at the boat ramp we use. Don't really want to get stuck there haha.


Bonent guard. Ordered weather shields to see how they look.

Judging by the score marks on that disc, that's the next thing to be replaced ?

27th August 2011 - 04:39 AM  Reply  Quote

Haha, yep. Next service they are getting replaced or machined. Might even do it next weekend if its raining again, seeming I have access to an entire mechanics workshop and all the tools and hoists.

I almost sold mine. I had another offer on the Chaser, came back with a counter offer less than 2 days later and he had already decided to buy an Evo 8 instead. Oh well, back to the waiting game for me.
