ph3n0m's 1998 Holden Berlina

This is my pride & joy that I've owned for:-

Visually this is basically how it was when it was bought.

First thing I did after buying it was a full service. It was running perfect anyway, but you never can tell, even with being bought through the family. After that came the personalised plates, which were a sort of tribute to my uncle who was the previous owner before he passed.

After that came a custom 2.5" sports exhaust and she was rumbling! I had to wait another 2 or 3 months for the time to be able to put the Advance Extractors in.

-UPDATE 5/4/07- Replaced the custom exhaust with a Lukey 2.5" cat back as I was having problem with it knocking against the underside of the car. Also it seemed to make it sound more like an import (or dog fart as a local mechanic said) than a lion's growl. Much more noticeable power increase than with the last one too!

Also replaced amber side indicators with clear ones at the same time.

Um, 17" chrome HDT rims (although I'm starting to believe they are likely to be VP Senators, let me know if you know), auto sunroof, HSV body kit, green LEDs under the dash, I know I'm forgetting something, planning to get her up to about 300 horsies in the next year...

Good cruiser man. Fuck dropping an eight in, work with the platform you have. V6's are getting looked at alot more these days, P plate drivers cant drive V8's in some states and the aftermarket boys know this. There is a heap of BOLT-ON bits for your beast man, turbo kits are the way to go mate. Mind you I have heard of a water cooled supercharger comming out soon from Raptor Superchargers, maybe something to look into.
