My New VXR (Holden content)

[leeds_182]

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.

[cat171]

Absolutely love it. Red looks so good on them.

Bravo sir.

 

[JB21]

Defo need to update the title, I was expecting a shitty Astra. Great buy and bravo for not following the crowd with an obligatory M3 ?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I do like these a lot. You'll spend all your money on fuel, but at least it will sound good while you're doing it.

Are they reliable? I would imagine the mechanicals are fairly simple.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Mint, Vauxhall's are w**k but dat engine

Congrats, get a supercharger on it and exhaust. Happy days.

 

[Ian_182]

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

Give it time, you will get used to the power and need a little something. Im sure getting one from the states would be relatively cheap...

So long?

How you getting on with the manual, i love the heavy mechanical feel of it. So good for cruising as well, used to sit at 120 (in Mexico of course) using 1200rpm lol

 

[leeds2592]

Awesome.

Need vidz of sound.

 

[Stefan.]

Heck yeah.

Nice purchase

 

[_Tom]

Wicked.

It'll be sold in no time though. I regret selling most cars but if/when I've ever got back in them I remember why I sold it in the first place.

 

[leeds_182]

They look class in red.

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

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

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

nice!

 

[leeds_182]

Couple of under the hood shots.

 

[Knuckles]

Title fixed.

Much want.

Are Rear tyres as consumable as fuel?

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

 

[_Tom]

There’s certainly worse tyres out there..

Red looks so much nicer than your black one. ??

Woo. Easier to skid

 

[Ben]

I’ve just spotted one of these on the way home, a grey 08 plate. Had a shite small number plate but looked nice.

Do love a red car ??

 

[R3k1355]

Excellent choice

 

[Cookie]

At least it's not a Volvo

How much was it?

 

[bill]

kumho's are alright for the money, had them on the mini and never had any issues with them. I'd buy them again no problem.

Proper lovely motor that mate! Now we need an exhaust note competition between you and @Scrooge

Whichever makes everyones balls tingle the most wins??

 

[imprezaworks]

Very nice indeed.

 

[Owen]

Now that is a beast! Love the engine bay shots, as said above videos are very much needed!

 

[Daz...]

I love how you go from bulk buying vegetable oil to needing your own fuel tanker following you around.

Excellent purchase!

 

[realnumber 1]

Sweet

Please keep it longer than five minutes!
