Senator SV08

[mitchy_]

recently picked up a new weekend toy.

'08 Senator SV08
Build #18
Manual :driving:

all the 'usual' mods
OTR, mafless tune, etc.
237/242 113 LSA cam
Lunati tie bar lifters
NPC single plate clutch
DiFilippo Twin 3" exhaust
DiFilippo headers
22" Pentagons
Accuair airbag setup

i'm sure a few will recognise it, and some wont like it, but it will be getting a few changes under my ownership to personalise it a bit more. coloured tyre walls have been removed/new tyres fitted, brake calipers will get a touch up and some new wider 20" wheels will replace the 22's.

previously made ~480rwhp, has been toned back a little to a respectable but safe 440rwhp.

Is this the one that was wrapped light blue? I love the SV08, My Dad nearly bought a manual in VooDoo blue!! Only 50 made and 30 of those were manual I believe. Digging the bags but not the 22's, although the stock Pentagons look great on them.

There alot of people in the states running 10/11" wide wheels on their G8s. Not many or much info online in Australia tho, there is a great wheel thread on the G8 board tho which ill inbox you the link.

That's the one.

There was 30 auto, 20 manual. A contact suggests there is only about 12 of the manual SV08's currently registered, so 8 have been destroyed or tucked away...

I like the 22's, but would much prefer a set of concave 20x10's (or even 11" rear) to stick a bit more rubber under it. I've got 22's on my VE wagon too, so something different would be nice.

Cheers for the link, has confirmed what I thought will fit, just need to decide if I want to have the same size all round or not.

I know the one we nearly bought gets driven only for its service intervals (so that's ever 12 months I think) and the kilometers are super low. Close but I had the 20 manuals, 30 autos back to front.

I hope those other SV08's are just unregistered because their a great looking car!!!

Nice pick up mate, I have seen this rig posted up around for a while now and its always been killer but I'm keen to see you put your own twist on it.

Bet sure to keep us updated mate

Hopefully sooner than later! Apparently I need to sell some of my 4 sets of wheels before buying new ones the wife tells me...

It doesn't, it's the switch speed setup at the moment. Although all I need to do is add the wheel height sensors and it effectively becomes the e-level kit, which is the first thing I'll be doing to it as it enables a whole bunch of other features such as self levelling, raising to ride height at startup, etc.

new cam installed, lost 5rwkw peak power but made up a shitload in drivability.

also fitted new wheels, Koya SF06 in 20x10" and 20x11"
