nope, i just have to watch myself with safeway underground speed bumps. sits at around 80mm off the ground at the cats. + i have it wound up a bit at the moment so its not sitting like this. belive it or not, im 27 and not a holden bogan.

Is it just me or does that have at least 2 too many cylinders?

Nice car mate, and yeah as Dawso said, that is one low Commodore. Do the rocker covers come standard colour coded?

nice suspension mods. vary rarely see a commo with coilovers, or even a commo owner who knows that they are.

now please be one of the first people in australia, and get some fitment happening on a commo lol.

btw do all vic plates come in that funny font?

 

[pu-11-me]

You have a higher IQ than the collective of Holden drivers worldwide lol

Guess thats why you're going to get into a VR4 eventually

 

[OVR444]

a commo with teins ? thats rare! +1 for that!

Nice, clean ride mate.

 

[unclepaulie]

looks nice, good choice on teins

+1 for steve's comment,
some nice staggered euro style wheels for beemers would set it off

Nope. Only the letter/number mix ones.

Teins and coil overs on a commodore aren't as rare as you think. The majority of owners on LS1.com.au have this, I think its more to the point that some of you are a bit naive when it comes to holdens or anything other than japanese cars.

 

[bradc]

I really like those, I've got the same engine+box+diff at home in a 2002 Monaro. Nice combo although the gearshift throw is so bloody long!

Pity about the colour

Proudly so, in my case.

Really nice car mate, the power's quite impressive and i'm lovin how tidy the colour coded engine bay is. Although i gotta say the "SU8TLE" plates don't really work too well with this green beast, it's not really very inconspicuous.

It looks great dude, I've actually always liked the VY and VZ SS Commodores, I would own a V8 Holden happily But there are other cars I tend to lean more towards instead (within the budget of a V8 Commodore)..

I love the V8 roar, and the style and colour looks great

Nice car dude!

And I like the "SUBTLE" plates, it's like calling a big guy tiny haha..

 

[SU8TLE]

well the days of me owning the SS are nearly at an end, its for sale on 5 diff car forums and on car sales, once i get the price i want... its leggy time! thought id put this up but, fitted this not long ago so its kinda a shame i wont get to enjoy it long. sureflo exhaust single 3.5" exhaust with twin 3" tips.

AND THE VIDEO!

oh well, it will be missed. but new toys are coming

 

[unclepaulie]

mmmm sounds good!

just cements my idea of buyin a s13 and putting a ls3 into it

 

[Hank Scorpio]

No, bad Paul!

A VH41DE/VH41DETT maybe but not an LS3. Thats a very bad Paul!

The Commo did sound pretty decent there, would have thought 3" was too big for a naturally aspirated car though.
