G`day!

Post by Ausyls2v »

G`day!
Names Chris and im from hoppers crossing in Victoria Australia.
I purchased this WM CAPRICE V last week and updated the exhaust to a 3 inch stainless cat back system.
The intake has been taken care of with a new OTR CAI.
As far as mods go im sure the family want me to leave it like this for a while.
My son loves the dvd player and the rest of the car to us is impressive.
Thanks for accepting me and my car!

Welcome to the group! It's always nice to have an Australian perspective on the forum. I'm sure that we will have questions for you, also. Good luck with your mods!

Thanks - they're ACE Convex 19x8.5 +38 running 255/40-19 - car pix are before Brembo's were added, along with SS sedan springs, which lowered it about 20mm.

The picture is at least 3 years old, as I've been running an 18" setup for awhile now. The low profile and wheel width/tire size left the edge of the wheel rim too susceptible to curbing, and I didn't care for the ride with the 40-series tire.

More pictures of the 19's
