VIC GPvR new owner

Post by hugekim »

Hey all,

Thought it'd be about time to introduce myself. I'm Hugh and I have a white GPvR (bought off Charlie). It's awesome to have a club like this to help you out, thanks to Silverfish for pointing me out to a good FTO mechanic nearby.

Here are some initial pics, all I've done to the car so far is 4x new king springs (suspension was rock hard before) and front disc rotors. But eventually I'll do the sound system and exhuast :D
