Default 2003 SS Commodore

Hi guys.
Names Paul, I'm from Victoria Australia.
I own a 2003 model SS Commodore.
It's got an LS1 and 4L60E with an BW88 3.07:1 LSD.

So far I've fitted a Pacemaker Tri-y long pipe extractors, High flow cats and twin 2.5" cat back exhaust system.
Plans for the immediate future is a new set of 42lb injectors and new fuel rails in preparation for a new cam.
I want to convert it to a T56 6spd gearbox as well, though this may have to wait sometime until funds permit.

Anyway here are some pictures and I look forward to learning from you guys.













And here's a video for you guys, Everyone loves a good sound test .

Cheers, Soop.

Hey soop,
wicked SS love the colour

don't bother changing you injectors you won't max them out just with a cam changeover or Head/Cam for that matter,

Spend your money on the diff or get some head porting you won't regret it

Funny how you U.S guys cant get enough of them, here they are a dimme a dozen!

The GTO is a 2 door version of the 4 door commodre. And the G8 is just a rebagded commodore

Maybe I should import mine over to the U.S and sell it

Basically a 4 door GTO, sweet! Yes, everyone here loves Holdens and everyone in AUS says they are everywhere, lol.

I have a friend in South Africa that says the Ford Focus is an extremely desireable import in Africa and I was like WTF?
