OCT Rides thread

[Verse1]

Would love to see some of our members rides.

I've been out of the car game for over a year now and after going through my pics im starting to get that itch again

I'll start off with my last car, it was a VS GTS with a few mods
I never got a chance to finish it off sadly as i had lost my job and needed to get cash to pay for other things so the car had to go and thats pretty much why i got out of cars for a while as after all the time and effort i put into it i was shattered

Anyway share away


When i first got her

A few added goodies

Yeah man get some pics up when you get a chance. Mine was a full rebuild on the motor, forged pistons, H-Beam rods, bored 30 thou tuftrided crank built to take 30psi boost. Had the supercharger but sold it off to go a twin turbo set up then had to sell the car
Would have been mental once the twin gt35r's went on it with 20+ psi

Im looking to get a single turbo set up for my VX Calais atm, i need some extra powaaah

 

[aussiemjfreak]

Nice GTS Nick! Pity you had to get rid of it!

Dont mind the Accord Euro's Garth, nice and comfy!

Heres my VE SS Wagon, bought it new around 18 months ago...

As it sits now..

Rims = 20x8.5 Fronts 20x10 Rears

AS it was around 12 months ago...

and a random cool pic...

Only has a 2.5 Catback exhaust at the moment... Waiting for money to free up in the next 6 - 12 months so I can get her tuned and OTR intake done taking the 6Litre to around 265rwkw!

Once finances are sorted totaly, anytime in the 6 - 12 month period, going to hopefully retire it from everyday duties and get the missus something different to run the kids around in, so I can get serious with it!

Really nice and comfy, first car I have owned where the headrest is actually nice and soft

Nice Wagon you have there Ian

 

[Verse1]

Those new rims look much nicer Ian, love the 10inch rears with the juicy dish :drool:
I just contacted Solid (GenRacing) about his T70 single turbo kit. Looks like cards are going to be on the back burner while i save some coin for an upgrade for the VX


My ride i cruise around in these days.

VX Calais International 5.7l LS1
3.9 l.s.d, Dus OTR, Oztrack mafless tune, dual 3inch x-force exhaust

Well mine isn't exciting, fancy or superfast, what it is though is all class. First time I have ever owned a Honda. Got to be honest, would not buy anything else at the moment.

Honda Accord Euro - has and does everything I want or need (even has a calculator in the in-dash touch screen in case I need to solve any complex math problems while I am driving........lol

 

[aussiemjfreak]

As I said with Garths Honda, dont mind them at all! Nice comfy and have just about everything ya need!

Nick - Mate I work with has a VX Calais Into, same as yours! Classy Calais man, one of the best ones they made... Nice bolt ons too! haha Can't wait to get mine up and going a bt more, not that it lacks much now, still frys the 275's on the back with very little trouble!

 

[ace e]

I would post up my Nissan 1984 Bluebird (Dad was the original owner) but it would put u all to shame LOL.

 

[cowboys4lyf]

I've got a 2006 Ford Territory SR! Beat that!

Mate at 13 yoa, its going to be a LONG time before you can drive that..............

 

[cowboys4lyf]

Yeah. My sisters who are 60 or so hours into their learners aren't even trusted with it.

Yeah man it was an easy choice between the International and any other regular calais, got it for a bargain too. I know what you mean with the ease the LS engines fry them, im in need of some rears myself
Looks like there could be a snail sitting in the engine bay in the near future

This was my first car (after a brief 6 month stint in an old Toyota Corona). '93 VP Berlina.... I had it 10yrs ago. Nice big 18s (they were big back then, now 18s are factory ) Lost it in a mechanical accident, in which we nearly lost me too! Heres the before and after. Although the before was before it was lowered, so it looks like a monster truck!

Ive got a soft spot for VPs, so picked up this one for a bargain price. 5th Anniversary Clubsport - only 63 produced and 20 of those went to NZ, so not many floating around at all. Basically all stock except for the Koni adjustables, camber kit, strut brace and a little stereo... around 2500wrms.

 

[w4nted]

My daily driver is a single cab Triton 4wd. Lots of fun And my other one is my CBR600 F4. I pretty much spend most of my time getting around on it. Other than that we've got an '02 Magna as the family car.

Oh... and i drive these bad boys too...

 

[BRONBRON]

Some really nice rides guys. And nice to see the Holdens out in force!! Here are my contributions.

Everyday

Weekend cruiser

 

[Verse1]

The VP 5th anniversary Clubby is a beauty, always liked them.
cj: The wagon looks nice on the VE GTS's, sweet vs too. Are you boys on SC or LS1 forums?

 

[ozballer23]

Just said goodbye to my 2008 VE sv6, and hello to my 2010 BMW 320i!

 

[Verse1]

Does this mean you have some coin for some new cards
