That was the plan prior to the new big bill. These were £200 for the back boxes so should give me some noise for a little less money.

I can’t afford the full exhaust so I’ve bought some shiny back boxes to cheer myself up.

The code it brought up was an issue with the air flow into the engine so could have been a number of issues. Apparently, it’s not uncommon for the wiring to deteriorate on these due to the quality Australian workmanship. They’ve had it a week and put it through it’s paces and there have been no...

No it’s all sorted now. I’m just getting some extra stuff done. For the next owner.

So.....things haven’t gone that according to plan with the vxr8. I was driving it the week after I bought it in a spirited fashion and all of a sudden it went into limp mode. I did the classic fix of switching it on and off a couple of Times and it came out of limp mode but still had the check...

Booked in for the exhaust doing on the 06/08. Can’t wait!

I test drove two and they both broke down so I lost confidence. Good looking motors.

Looks decent. He just do it on the side or is it a full time thing?

I must be getting old because that sounds outrageous!

Never noticed that but you’ve got a point.

I can’t find a video to compare as well! A guy is selling these from oz which would be a bolt on upgrade but not sure they’d be loud enough.

Yeah, few exhaust places have said to just chop the rear boxes out but I’m a bit worried about the noise!

Something like these;

Exhaust next I think. I can’t deal with those tail pipes!

Removed the Vauxhall’s lettering from the back so I can pretend it’s not a Vauxhall even easier now. I could go full gay and buy the full Holden badge set from walkinshaw.

Gave the car a bit of a polish today and it came up quite nicely. Also, the cars got the vxr8 common problem of misting on the rear lights so removed it to try and get it dried out.

No, came with that plate.

Little bit of an old vs new comparison. The black one (for those new members out there) I owned in 2016 and was an auto. I think they both look good but do prefer the red.

I did - 10 litres!

Pugs gone. Sold within 8 hours of advertising!

Yeah, it likes them. Luckily the previous owner just splashed out on some *cough* kumhos..

Couple of under the hood shots.

It’s an industrial feel! I’m sure I’ll get used to it though.

You’re probably right but I sell all my cars after 3 months whether I like them or not!

They look class in red.

So long?

Might stretch to the zorst but the charger might be a bit much!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I’ve had one before but that was an auto and this is a manual. The fuel consumption is still comical but what else can I expect from a 6.0 V8. 61k with full history and standard. Might have to get an exhaust but doesn’t sound that bad as standard. Obligatory shell photo.

The Costco ones look class for £100.
