How much trouble would i be in if i purchased this  ::)

vxr

"Around £50,000 in receipts". That should tell you how much trouble you'd be in.
LPG kit, fitted £2,000
Brake kit, fitted £2,300
Handling Pack, fitted £500
Rear end Pack, fitted £310
Perfomance exhaust, fitted £1,300
Performance Pack, fitted £3,800
LS7 Clutch, fitted £1,000
Tyres £220 each, rears every 5k if driven hard, so potentially £15,000
Servicing £3,500
Discs and pads all round £1,350 each time, say done three times, £4,050

Say a conservative estimate of £33,760 for the above work over 110,000 miles... not accounting for any other extras fitted/repairs/work done... I skim read the highlights...

Budget £2k for the brake upgrade... No mention in the description of them having been done :-\
Suspension benefits from polybushing too...

Alot of money for a stock CV8... Can get a Vxr Monaro for that, and a CV8 with upgrades for less...

Shop around :y

RobseyMV6 has one of each, lucky,lucky sod 8)




I have been looking and I only posted that one because I love that colour but yes there are others with brakes already done yes I thought it was too much for that car as Elite cars has better ones for the same and he is much like robber budgen  they will be almost perfect.

Encountered a vxr8 on the way home today. Black, auto, new exhaust, and possibly a new cam that gives that really sharp tick over, rather than the comparatively lazy chug as standard. And, by Jove, don't they shift. More than twice a 3.2's horse power. Imagine that. Poop pooooooop. ;D

Saw a new R8  on the road yesterday... Only thing that made it stand out was the fact that it was bright orange :-\

The Monaro has more presence in the way only a big coupe can 8)

When I checked a few weeks ago, it was reasonable.
