Yeah I am, it’s one of those projects that got away from em a bit compared to the original brief I’d set myself, good to be done now I can start debugging get it in for an alignment and hit my first event!

I’m really surprised/impressed by how well it drives straight off the Hoist! 

Wasn’t sure what to expect from my suspension/steering design..

Front is a bit of a bitsa, main concern was getting rid of the Stock Bump steer that Holden for some reason seem to think is a good thing, just fabricated lower a arms and used Holden Adventra Struts that I’ve converted to Koni coilovers and Adventra uprights with a Bump steer correction..

Rear I was going to use Holden swing arms but can’t stand the massive camber changes so made a McPherson Strut rear end for it using Adventra Uprights, Struts the same as the fronts and made adaptors to bolt the rear backing plates to them..

————–

Today End!

Brakes bled and trimmed the Airdam a touch more as the run the other day left witness marks!

Should be 100’s Ben, been using FaceBook to host them so the older ones might have dropped off now..

What would you like to see in particular?

Here’s some randoms

That’s fantastic, just wanted to see what was done. Not often you see a custom front and rear k-frame on a VS.

whats your Facebook page

Sorry don’t have a public FB page Ben…

Today!

Booked in Wednesday Morning for an alignment!

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Today End!

New Aluminium IC pump arrived this morning, nice and compact, plumbed and wired it then filled and leak tested it all, to finish up I applied some “War Paint” all set for the alignment tomorrow!

Probably but he’d also have cut 300kg out of it and made it barely strong enough to last. :p :(

In other news, congrats on getting it running. Will look awesome out on the dirt.
