hey man i heard you were interested in a vs commodore?

I didn't think Phil used the adub in a lot of khana's etc. He mainly used his poocar for that, or at least the only pics/vids I saw were of that car.
 
He lived on a farm and there were a few dirt roads nearby when he used to drive it around, so that would explain a lot of the muck you found.
 
Agreed it wasn't neglected when it was actually running. Just unfortunately saw too much time outside in the rain which caused the rear leak and eventual rust etc.
I had the exact same feeling as Wiso when I saw it for sale for similar reasons; before I bought my adub I encountered this blue one when Phil had it, and a work colleague who owns an auto SC targa top.
Little wonder I settled on a blue Auto SC T-Top ;)

So at long last my car has some decent fitment!
After a bit of measuring and a trial fit of another mates wheels I came to the conclusion that 15x8+25 would be an ideal size for my car. Once my tax return came through I purchased a set of gold Enkei 92's from eBay USA;


 
After some consideration I opted for a set of Yokohama AD08r's in 205/50/15. A mate also bought a set for his SR20DET 1600 at the same time so we got a good deal. By all accounts they are the best street tyre short of a semi slick, and after spending most of the weekend in the twisties I tend to agree!

This wheel/tyre change and an alignment last week has completely changed the car! From memory I now have 6-7 degrees caster, 0 front toe, -1.5 degrees front camber, 3mm total rear toe in, and a bit over -1 degree rear camber. When I went in for the alignment we found the RHR toe link was bent and that wheel alone had 7.5mm toe out!
I have also purchased a whiteline rear bar and will be mounting that up soon.
Loving driving this car now! :D
 
Here are some happy snaps from some of the ks I did with my mate on the weekend;

 
 

Looks mad

Nice choice in wheels. Looks great :)

Perfect fitment and look, did you find the need for any guard rolling etc?

I lipped the rear guards and they don't scrub at all.
Now I have removed the screws from the inner guards at the front it never scrubs with just me in the car. If I have a passenger the front left still scrubs lightly on the inner gaurd, over very harsh bumps through a fast corner. In normal driving I don't have any problems with scrubbing :)

Hey guys,
I have spent a decent amount of time driving this thing over the past few weeks and it has been a blast! Went for a driving weekend with mates through Gippsland and last weekend I did a DECA day. I have fitted up the rear sway bar and it has certainly improved things. Now the single pegging is worse though lol, makes it hard to drive with crappy tyres on the rear! (which I did for the expression session in the afternoon). New tyres performed really well but I swapped them off the rear for the afternoon session as the 1st and 2nd gear wheelspin was really starting to chew them out! For the next skidpan days I reckon I might get another pair of wheels and fit up some cheap Achilles or similar. Next mods will be an LSD and some stiffer front springs, I reckon the car should behave a bit better then and be more predictable when it gets sideways.
