LOL

Don't look like a G8 to me. :confused:

Its close though, I guess. :)

Nice looking Lumina SS!! I like the V6 G8 type wheels on there. Actually better looking than the regular 18's over here!

Alright! Good lookin' car!!!! :p

LOL, G8 or Lumina SS both are Holden Commodore :-p
1992B4C, I like your taste. I used to have a third genner Firebird Formula 350.
BTW, those pics were taken the first day ive gotten the car...its crappy i know. My son in last pic :)

Thanks. I love 3rd gens.

Yep, we are all the same community but ya'll probably get more options than us. 6spd manual is available in SA correct?

Yep, we do have manual. But out Automatics come with 4 speed unlike the 6 speed Auto you got over there. Anyhow, i like it the old fation way lol
My car even come equipped with an entertainment system at the back with two wireless ear phones and a remote LOL! I'll snap some pic of the system if you guys want to.

My SS is not stock any more lol
Only 3K miles and couldnt resist...soon is the dyno

Yeah i'd like to see pics of the rear entertainment system. I'm thinking of getting a overhead DVD system for my kids.

I've always wanted to visit Saudi Arabia. :)

Nice car, Zeebo. I wish GM offered it as an Impala here in the United States.

THe Holden Lumina SS Should be the Chevy Impala in the states. The current Impala is such a joke imho

Kookoo, thank you.
Alex, i'll post it tomorrow.
Dan, let me know if you are planning to come over one day. I'll be more than happy to show u arround :)
Josh, totally agree with u.

That Lumina SS looks nice but I prefer the G8 front.

Believe me, i really like them all :)
G8 is great, but i really dislike the unfunctional hood ducts.
BTW, last week ive added the Lingenfelter GT11 cam, Patriot extereme springs, TF rods, and the 160 Thermostat. Cant wait to Dayno the darn thing :) I can feel a really nice difference in performance. Zero issues at all. Oh and got my self a Z-51 C6 last week from the U.S. ;)

Cant wait to convert mine to a Chevy... Looks great bro...

Exactly why i am making my own Impala SS

Bad a$$ impala you have there buddy....

Thanks man, cant wait to see mky Chevy grill like yors on mine...

Hey those your seat say SS?

Bad a$$ impala you have there buddy....

Hey p71, any chance I can borrow that big ass blaster off your Humvee? Would make dicing through traffic a lot easier :)

I don't understand why GM won't import the Holden Impala here. Hell, the steering wheel is already on the correct side of the car. WTF is the problem? Well, maybe I DO understand: Its called CAFE...right?

Thanks man, cant wait to see mky Chevy grill like yors on mine...

Hey those your seat say SS?

Yep, stitched on both front seats :)

Man the Seats and Gauges are gonna be my biggest challenge to convert...

I hate this car didnt came as an Impala SS as it was supposed to, but I guess on the other hand, ill be the only one with one... :)

Yep, stitched on both front seats :)

Well, if you ever need an extra photos or any other details just let me know.
BTW, i used to have a '96 Impala like yours. Those cars are gorgeous but too heavy to race 'em.

Man ive fall in love with them Big Bosy SS and so far no other car gives me the same :driving:...

They are about 5Klbs, 1Klbs heavier than the heavy than our cars but with 1500BHP... Is not heavy at all to race it... :driving:

Do you know if your local dealer over there, might sell the gauges that say SS? i have most emblems already but still missing a few details and gauges and seats is one of them...

Well, if you ever need an extra photos or any other details just let me know.

My gauges have no SS badges on them...Check the pics

The SS badges on both rear doors and the trunk. That will cove the exterior...

I already have all those plus the Impala ones and not the 6.0, since they dont have 6.2 V8 Emblems, but it doesn't cover the exterior, cuz I still gotta get rid of the Pontiac Front..., which is the hardest $$$ parts...

But whao Im surprised your gauges doesn't say SS, im sure ive seen those somewhere...

Yeah, the previous Luminas (older ones '05-'06) have it. But the current Lumina SS ...nope :(
BTW, have you daynoed your GXP? I did mine before 3 days ago and i want to know if my numbers about right? I tried the Dayno forum but nothing was informative.

Man, how much would it cost to get the Hood and Bumper over there where u at? The interior can wait, I just cant wait to convert my baby boy to an Impala SS

I am waiting till i delete my primary CATS and intall the Offroad Race Tune I have, and then Ill dyno'ed and take it to the track. I was gonna put headers, but sicne Ima put Twin turbos eventually, headers are useless with Turbo set up, so cat delete for now is what will work...

Aha thats why you havent gotten the headers. I have to dish mine otherwise i'll go with the super charger lol
I'll check the prices for you and let you know.

Exactly why... :judge:
Thats why in the meantime the CAT delete will work... Yeah, not only ur header, but also im pretty sure ur current CAM wont work properly with the Turbos either... :slap: LOL

What a perdicument u have now...LOL

Man, apreciate it a lot, let see if a bumper and hood fall from the back of a truck and land over here...lol

Guess you did your home work right lol
Believe it or not i was planning to keep the car with a very basic upgrades and look at me now! My warranty is gone with less than 7500 miles on my odometer.:drink:
I checked the prices for you:
Front bumber: $320
Hood: $530

Guess they are cheap but shipping is pricy indeed.

Yeah, thats what I sai with my 95 Impala SS, ans i went from headers, exhaust and intake, to a stroker 383 with 500HP and then I got tired and was gonna build a 396 with 2 small turbos and ended up with a with a fully built 407 and Big Twin Turbos with 1500BHP... LOL So yeah man, I know small projects turn into life long projects...LOL Now im planing on maybe taking the 2 twin turbos and put 1 HUGE Turbo. well see I want to see my G8 Converter to Impala SS first :)

Bro those r good prices, Can you PM me a near by address to you or something so I can find how much is to ship here...? Unless u know laces that will ship, U let me know bro...

Thanks a lot for ur help bro, Lets see if we can make it... and vise versa anything u need from here, just let me know...

Well, my friend got da same Impala as yours. First he stroked it, then Baxton supercharged it and a T66 Tubro eventually. But he cant drive it any more (Tuning problem) he got fed up and bought himself an Evo 9!

I'll pm you my address. We have all the shipping options you might think of (tnt, aramex, dhl, ups) we have 'em all. If you are serious i dont mind helping a brotha out..

Tunning is easy man, all he needed to do is find a good tuner here and they would email a tune for him, anyways. An SS for a Evo. Whao, I see he was frustrated for real...LOL

Cool man, thanks, ima check, but I think maybe DHL might be the cheapest, I can be wrong but ima check...

So u still devating what will u do to your ride?

I really dont know man, but yesterday ive searched around and ive found so many kits for my C6 with so many attractive offers grrrrrrr dunno man lol

Those kits come with a tune?

Hey who tuned your SS?

I really dont know man, but yesterday ive searched around and ive found so many kits for my C6 with so many attractive offers grrrrrrr dunno man lol

Yeah, i guess so.
A Tuner, hes mostly especialized on turbo japanease car. I only gained 9 rwhp (379 with no tune) after his tune, i was really expecting more

My C6 was tuned in Miami though...

9HP, Holly flying monkeys that is ridiculous, who in Miami tuned the C6?

My C6 was tuned in Miami though...

Yeah i know, i was expecting more! I gained 20 RWHP on my avalanche when it was bone stock from only a tune!

http://www.hpsalesflorida.com/ The guys name, Jason

yeah, i dont know what happend there, to low...

And for the C6 ive heard about them and i know they do good job, one of my boys have done some work with them for his vette, but they are a lil expensive, but most places are...

Man i was thinking on ur built and after all the money u have spent on ur SS, I think I would rather get a GOOD tune like the Westers tune I have and run like a 150 Shot of NOS, cuz yes u can put a turbol set up, but u already spend money in a N/A set up, A good Tune and a shot of :drink:might be the best for you at this time...

Do u have HPTuners to read and load ur tunes?

Yeah i know, i was expecting more! I gained 20 RWHP on my avalanche when it was bone stock from only a tune!

http://www.hpsalesflorida.com/ The guys name, Jason

Yeah i guess you are right. I have a dry kit in my garage, i might just work on that.
I've used Hptuner before on my previous z28 Camaro to raise the idle ( i had the B1 cam by MTI @ that time) and play a bit with the timing and fuel but im no expert at all.

On all ur cars, to be honest since u have HP tuners, if u send ur stock tune to the guy that does my tunes and tell him exactly all u have done, he will make u a custom tune and bro, honestly he is one of the best i have ever seen... ill PM u his email...
