Been a while since ive updated this thread so better get to it

I've done a few subtle mods to her since my last post they include

*EL twin thermo conversion
*AU XR8 snorkel
*Koni adjustible shocks
*superlow springs (front) ultra low springs (rear)
*MSD dizzy cap
*MSD blaster coil
*Super Pro shim type camber kit
*replaced wheel bearings, all ball joints, nolothane bushes etc
*got the front resprayed which looks a million bucks (no more stone chips)
*BPT 3 piece underdrive pulleys
*AU3 rocker covers painted black
*Phillips +100 globes
*Car alarm/immobiliser

What im wanting is it to look relatively stock but a bit more enjoyable to drive and cruise in. I was quite impressed with how the car handled stock but now this thing is just fricken ridicolous, hard to believe your in a big old falcon. I've also managed to collect quite a few magazines, articles, brochures, and posters from back in 93/94 in regards to the sprint. Heres a few pics of how she is currently

Also picked up a new daily after selling my XR8 ute

Its a White 1998 VS III Holden S Commodore ute. It's lowered on supers (front) ultras (rear) on 18 inch CV8 monaro wheels. It's just an auto ecotech 6 on duel fuel so they don't get much slower then that but it's fine just as a daily/work hack and it's cheap to run. Has factory LSD and cruise control which is a bonus, also has a bit of a stezza, towbar, and statesman seats which are mighty comfy. One thing that kinda sucks is it's definately not as roomy as my old XR8 ute ( I'm 6 foot 4 and pitty those taller then me that have to drive these utes) I've taken a liking to AU XR8 utes of late and with there prices dropping in recent times it won't be long until I buy one (hopefully a series 3) and then I can sell the VS.

hahahaha awesome p plater cars man i love the look of that fairmont man looked awesome want those rims on mine.just need to get rid of mine first.and guys the sprint looks even better in person.

upload a pic of your rooted rim off the ute.wanna see the damage

hey mate seen that you used to own the el 5.0 fairmont, odd that i seen this on the net randomly because i just brought that car about a month ago! good car, needs lots of work tho, just done head gaskets! so she up for a top end re-build, nice collection you have there too

Been way too long since Ive updated this thread, and havent really touched the sprint, driven it like 3 times this year. I did have a set of Simmons FR19's on it for a bit though.. pics





However I sold them and then realised how gorgeous this car looks on its factory wheels when I put them back on

I sold my VS ute as it was giving me the s**t and picked up a clean VSII Calais with an L67 supercharged V6 for my new daily. I'd only ever been in one L67 before and though it was a bit of a yawn but this VS loved it. I put it on a set of 17 inch internationals and then toyed with engine mods. I added a 10 psi pulley, cold air intake, 1.9 rr, hsv senator extahust, 3 inch intake pipe, gapped the plugs a little closer and got a memcal tune. The thing hammered! Out of all the cars I've owned the VS would of smoked any one of them off a set of lights by a long shot. Performance after about 100km/h was so so, but downlow it hauled a***. Pics..



However as with all 2nd generation commodores it began to cost me money.So I decided it was time for a new daily. I picked up an 09 FG ute in ego for a good price complete with EGAS, tow pack, Bluetooth, and ipod connectivity. I have added some 19inch G6ET wheels, tinted the windows, and added a chrome grille strip. I’ll lower it and that will be about it for the FG.
I really love the sprint but just haven’t had the time/motivation to drive it. Plus the more I think about it the more I want to keep it stock for obvious reasons. Thinking about looking for an EL2 XR8 and getting stuck into modding it
I’ll throw some pics up of the FG and try to post more often, cheers!

Yeah seen it up on ebay I think it was, poor old girl. I was thinking about buying it back and fixing it up but it was just too far gone for me. I loved that car to bits and used to keep it in top notch. Too bad the guy I sold it too turned it into a hack. It has potential though thats for sure. In it's prime it went very well considering how s**t E7 heads and HO manifolds are haha. Keep me updated on how its going, would love to see it back in its prime one day soon.

pics of wheel as requested. Ths happened to two of them, but this wheel was worse
