Can agree with ya mate, my favorite model is the VY/VZ because of V8 Supercars at the time made me fell in love. When i was 17 my first car was an VZ SSZ had red leather seats had a full exhaust system otr etc etc drove it every single day. Wish i didnt sell it but cant complain as i'm rolling in a VZ Thunder 6l in red lol.
I can say after watching your first video on the ss i did go and buy a 2001wh statesman LS1 with over 300k on it and it is the choice I've ever done thank you for the inspiration
It was great to see you again. Marc driving the car that you remind me of as well. Associating, that song rise, Darryl Braithwait. All the wonders of my Asperger's sense of humour.
Love the car bro my dream car is a vy ss Ute in the same red almost the same story as you my dad had the Ute up until I turned 7 really want to get one again and give it to my dad hope you and ya misses love the car
I have owned a VY Storm UTE from new then I sold it, sad day that was. I had a VE SSV, loved it at first but got over it pretty quick. I have a VF Storm Sedan now. To me the VF is more like the VY. My opinion. Love ya VY SS
my vu manual has a lsd and have knocking noises in 1st, 2nd and 3rd as well ever since i got it. it will be the clutch plates in the diff been trying to make my mind up over getting a ve or vy ss manual, a vy will cost about 10,000 less but havnt seen any in my area
What are your thoughts on those new blue maxpeepee rods? Had one of the older sets and they leaked straight out the box. Definitely a mint rig you got there, nice to see it still pushing along.
So much better than the older ones man, I run them in my skyline too they’ve been great, they ride so nice in the VY a lot nicer than I expected. I forget it has coils most of the time definitely an upgrade!
The mighty excel! That’s grouse tho hahha might just have to have some mechanical sympathy for the second gear crunch, she’ll keep going forever that thing!
@@Marc180sx Yeah I should give it some love but then again I have a spare gearbox so meh. But the throw out bearing is buggered + its on the original clutch so I'm going to put a heavy duty in it + new throwout bearing and an oil change for the poor gearbox... probably its first oil change to be honest haha
@@Marc180sx yea was the best days of my life……just wish they stayed open long enough so we could have finished the ve coupe it was being designed along side Camaro here
Fuck yeah. up the SS. would kill for a cosmo purple VY SS with the purple leather interior or a VX SS with a yellow leather interior. my older brother has one. such fuckin good cars. imo...
My run about is a 09 TK barina, cost me 2x 30paks Xtra dry and it's got 380,000.. had it 15mths and only replaced cam sensor(touch wood) so far.. cheap n nasty
Good to see the SS is still going well, mate. It’s a good one.
Cheers mate, I’m loving it 🙏👍
You can't beat them, hope your girl enjoys driving it. Had a S3 Monaro for 17 years ❤
She loves it mate, hope you enjoy your Monaro I absolutely love them 😍
What happened?
Didn't know Post Malone liked Holdens 😂
Pre Malone

I have owned a VY Storm UTE from new then I sold it, sad day that was. I had a VE SSV, loved it at first but got over it pretty quick. I have a VF Storm Sedan now. To me the VF is more like the VY. My opinion. Love ya VY SS
I do like the VF interiors and being a newer car they are the ideal daily driver that’s for sure, enjoy it mate!
Waiting for the next vy ss vid mate
If you ever come to Brisbane mate hit me up go for a burn , got a white vy ss 2
my vu manual has a lsd and have knocking noises in 1st, 2nd and 3rd as well ever since i got it. it will be the clutch plates in the diff
been trying to make my mind up over getting a ve or vy ss manual, a vy will cost about 10,000 less but havnt seen any in my area
Definitely get a VY mate they are grouse, hopefully the diff holds up for ya mate 🙏
Still have my 2003 vy ss 6 speed as well with 103ks

I'd be looking into replacing the roller lifters soon, before they fail and destroy the cam
Hopefully that doesn’t happen 🙏
My 1998 Hyundai Excel has a crunch going into 2nd when the gearbox is cold...but then again it has just hit 300,000 kilometers so I don't blame it XD
The mighty excel! That’s grouse tho hahha might just have to have some mechanical sympathy for the second gear crunch, she’ll keep going forever that thing!

Good video remember watching it being developed at Lang Lang 💔😭
That would have been awesome to see mate!
@@Marc180sx yea was the best days of my life……just wish they stayed open long enough so we could have finished the ve coupe it was being designed along side Camaro here
just seen a manual 5.7 vx with over 500,000km but they want 14k. id think about it for 6500
Still got my 03 vy ss manual, 94,753 kms 😉
Wow that’s grouse mate, what a gem!!
Only 94
@M7ikey7 fuk yeah I bought on 2010 it had done 45,000+, for a 21 year old car dude
Fuck yeah. up the SS. would kill for a cosmo purple VY SS with the purple leather interior or a VX SS with a yellow leather interior. my older brother has one. such fuckin good cars. imo...
Cosmo purple is my second fave from the red, awesome cars!
Love the vid
Cheers mate appreciate it heaps!
VY was for sure the best modern commodore, ve vf was much nicer on the highway but they look and feel like a camry lol
Definitely there’s something about the VY’s that are awesome! Hated the interiors on the VE’s but love the VF interiors much more
My run about is a 09 TK barina, cost me 2x 30paks Xtra dry and it's got 380,000.. had it 15mths and only replaced cam sensor(touch wood) so far.. cheap n nasty
That’s awesome mate, hopefully she keeps treating you well!
Never sell that beautiful car mate! VY's are my favourite model.
Don’t plan to mate! They are awesome
sounds like it needs new shocks with the interior noise
Front left top hat was loose after I put the coils in, fixed it the next day x
I love the SS Holdens but I don't think I would be brave enough to risk a 400k one
Definitely a bit of a risk!
Hey marc, are the coilovers any good!?
They’ve been great so far! No issues.
Sweet, cheers mate 👍
400k kms on the chassis or the engine aswell?
On both mate!
😂 broken down already.....
You rave on with so much crap unsubscribed.
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!
I just subbed so he’s not losing anything
