Too easy? :D

I'm rather chuffed :cool:
 
Impreza?

Oops, missed the V8 part :/ ... oh and RWD (before someone else points it out!)

Indeed :)

The value for money of the CV8 monaro against something like the skoda vRSs I was looking at before was simply no competition...



Apologies for low quality posting, but I couldn't help myself :o

Awesome - good work, proper yank V8 :).

Got the LS1 in there hasn't it?

What mods have taken it from 333 to 385? Seems a big increase from a NA V8, especially a lazy american one - done more than intake/exhaust mods for that?
 
Nice, I'll assume pics in due course? :cool:

Will do - right now it looks like an inverted dalmation though!

Different cars for different markets though.

Also pics.

True, fortunately I've got a snotter to get around the relative impracticalities.

LS1 indeed. Wortec exhaust and air-filter (straight pipes instead of centre box), and a remap. For pistonheads, it's redgriff500's old car.
 
I thought these seemed like brilliant value for money, until I saw the interior :(

Couldn't live with it in a car like that myself.

I quite like the interior, the odd bit of dodgy silver plastic aside. Maybe I just don't know better, but the seats are good, the leather a damn-sight better than the VAG fare, and the dash black and inoffensive.
 
It's a 6.0L LS2 VXR with Wortec switchable exhaust. Upcoming mods for the summer are headers, CIA, cats and a second hand Harrop 112 supercharger which I have sourced.
