Thanks , i've been watching them on ebay for months and wasn't 100% sure about them until i did a photoshop of them on the ute which made up my mind, made a offer and they were mine, also got 5 wheels with just 1 have a slight mark on it so that can be the spare, found out also they were on a friends Monaro in Kent a while back (small world with HSV's lol) but they didn't look right on a silver car, black on black seems to work a lot better and they give me even more practice at keeping black clean

New DBA disc's & DS2500 pads all round, AP disc's tend to rust very quickly when not used much and when the ute was sitting on my drive for a couple of months when i did the sound system they rusted badly, drove for a while with them like that but while they worked fine still i wouldn't of want to rely on them in a emergency

Oh and it looks like the wheels need cleaning again lol

Did a bit of work today on the ute, took the fogs off as one of them was half full of water (ordered a set from Aus), sprayed the power steering cooler satin black, tidied a few things up and changed the mesh on the grille to a finer one (kept the rusty screws though )

Good stuff, how was it removing and refitting the front bumper, some never like to go back on as nicely as they were before you took them off.

Wasn't to bad to remove (7 screws, 2 bolts & 2 clips), it never seemed to be a 100% good fit in the first place (Holden quality control ), refitting wasn't a major problem

A little update on the small problem of the supercharger belt coming off on the way to Germany, had it replaced today and found out the bolt holding the pulley on had broken so the pulley was working it's way loose, hence why the belt started to jump a few teeth, might of made a bit of a mess if the pulley had decided to come off completely but because i was advised to cut the belt off everything was ok (apart from only running about 400bhp )

No nothing at all as the ecu doesn't know a supercharger is fitted anyway, my mechanic did say it may be worse on fuel and just normal driving around mpg was worse but on the trip home at around a steady 80-90mph it was doing great mileage

Had the decats fitted today, no problems apart from 8 lovely rusted nuts & bolts surprisingly they didn't make a big difference to the sound but it does feel smoother

Thought this might be a bit too loud


And fitted

OK time for a bit of a update, the fueling issue has finally been sorted and the Ute is running spot on, had it mapped at SRR by Luis Sola (so now it's sola powered ) from Australia via the interweb, the Ute is a lot smoother but wasn't really able to try out the power today due to damp roads and lots of traffic
