It sure is! non of that automatic crap!
I have done the m50 manifold conversion and it came with bilstein and h&r.
Im planning on doing pulleys, exhaust and eventually later on a supercharger!
But thats in like 5 years lol.
ahh if only you listened to your own advice. Cool thread locked thanks to your shenanigans in 5...4...3...
Holy giant douchebag.
Some of these cars are nice. Not yours.

ahhh...it's happy hour aaaaand im on my way to whistler...good day...
Holy eff if I could 1million rep you I would! Audi Rock Crawler Edition FTW! It's pretty difficult to argue with someone who lacks common sense.
Nice! For now I am just doing a bunch of preventative maintenance. Its going to be new Vanos unit/valve cover gasket, new Bilstein front struts, motor mounts. I just got new front tires yesterday also. Running the normal staggered 245r 235f hancook ventus hr2's. I have a lot of plans for my car, but it is going to be $$$.It sure is! non of that automatic crap!

Yeah that's always a good start! I need to start thinking on doing the same thing.Nice! For now I am just doing a bunch of preventative maintenance.

Thats awesome your car was transformed into an m3. So do you have the stock 325 subframe parts like brakes, shocks, and diff or is it the whole deal??
Nice GMy supercharged G35. Yes, it carries my bikes to the trail with a trunk rack.
Here's mine...
And no...it does not carry my bikes. I'll post pics of my bike hauler later.
New toy.

Nice! I just got rid of my DRZ 400SM (with Marchesinis and some other stuff) since I was too much of a dumbass riding it on the street. It was a super fun bike and I regret getting rid of it, looking at picking up something else now...Enjoy it!New toy.
Thanks man, it sure is loads of fun.
Man, you ought to swop that thing for a Merc 123 of about the same age, they're soo much better put together, the feel of the materials, and ride like the Millennium Falcon. From 82 onwards (i think) they all come with turbo diesel and are really nice cruisers.I have a pretty decently clean 81 242 that I rally around in while I save up for something faster/nicer...hoping for an older Porsche, maybe I'll settle with a BMW though

ehmm... my first post and probably smallest car in this topic :
Fiat Cinquecento '97
704cc, flat-twin engine, 31 hp
0-100kmh ~ half minute
Earlier I had Fiat 125p like this one, but my cousin managed to seize up the engine (and destroy to destroy transmission with the drive shaft )

Chevy half ton, so far I like it.

1.3L, carbed, Optional 5 speed, 63 HP, only 11 feet long, ha. The worst part is getting tires for those 12 inch wheels now.
These are the only pics I have on this computer
oh no, this one is a real m3, I had to back down from the conversion because the guy did not have the title in time. He had just bought the car and was going to turn it in to a track car and then lost his job. So I bought a real ///M instead
Not enough Scooby's around so here's mine also
Bike-s go on a rear rack, and in the back of the picture is a ski resort where some contest was held, and no I hadn't received my bike yet because it was stuck at Heathrow in London

Stoked on my new whip, figured it'd be a good excuse to revive this thread from the dead. I'd love to get the 2" class 2/3 hitch, that integrates perfectly into the rear diffuser, but I would have to import it from australia 
The class 1 hitch sits stupid low and looks like crap. so roof rack most likely..

isnt that pretty involved when using a class 2/3 on the Monaro/G8?Stoked on my new whip, figured it'd be a good excuse to revive this thread from the dead. I'd love to get the 2" class 2/3 hitch, that integrates perfectly into the rear diffuser, but I would have to import it from australia
sweet car btw. which engine is it? that was the nicest car Pontiac has made in a real long time
So it's built by Holden or by Pontiac?its not a US car. and the interior was actually one of the nicest that GM built IMO.
Also pictures give me nothing. The problem I allways had with cars made for the US market (US mercs too) is that they might have look nice but the plastic/leather/all other crap quality was noticably worse than their european counterparts. The fitting was also worse and it often made for a loud interior.
I've got to agree though it looks mint. I assume there is an option to run a normal transmission? Automatic on a car with that kind of torque is silly. Especially if you tend to visit the mountains.
its built by Holden for Pontiac. its essentially a rebadged Commodore. just like the GTO was a rebadged Holden/Vauxhall Monaro
since it wasnt a American built car, IMO, the interior was/is much better then the crap they made during the time the GTO/G8 was around.
and yes, it came with a 6speed
There's more attachment points from what I've read and you basically have to cut a hole in the rear diffuser(GXP rear diffuser actually has a cutout for it) for the hitch to stick out (hitch actually sits almost flush w/the diffuser b/c of the bigger USDM bumpers)
Class1:
Class 2(couldn't find the picture of the GXP rear diffuser, that's the same as the G8 GT diffuser):
LS76 6.0L V8, basically the little brother of the 6.3L LS3..
It's actually quite a nice step up from my crap subaru interior(newer ones look better, but I hated the interior in my '06).. but yeah close the glovebox or the doors and you can hear/feel that wonderful US/Australian quality.norbar said:
im sure youve seen this about mounting it

I agree GM sucks since they love to use the one time metal clips everywhere that if you live where it get really cold, Like me, every things starts to rattle.
And rattle my truck does.
I must say I'm really interested. I allways thought to get a holden you must be prepared to spend extra cash on moving the steering wheel in its proper place but since the US isn't upside down I assume it's already done. Seems like a great car.
you can get them at a relatively good price here too.
they really need to bring the Ute to America and just call it a El Camino like they originally planned.
The only quarrel I have with ute is how much weight is over the rear axle. Most RWD pickups are really scary to drive fast without a cement block in the rear. Still I'd want one.
yeah, not too keen on having somebody cut up a hitch and re-mount it.. I'm sure it's safe and all, I'd rather just bolt something up and forget about it.
But yeah, like IH8Rice mentioned it's a Left hand drive/rebadged Holden Commodore/Vauxhall VXR8/Chevy Lumina SS(in RSA).. Interior layout has some quirks b/c of the RHD to LHD conversion, but overall so far so good.
with proper tires, it isnt a issue.
my truck has 400+lb-ft of tq and i have no problem getting traction with Pilot Sport PS2's. stock tires were scary though
here is my money pit...
