VF Calais V v8 Wagon

I painted my rear calipers black, and upgraded front to brembos

Latest mod was the heater core hoses reroute

And this is how it looks as of now.
I replaced the rear wing with the genuine holden dust deflector. Much better. Added a decal too, and finally a live gps/4g tracker.

How much did the holden dust deflector cost if you don`t mind?
Got part number?

I have questions.

1. @Lex I’ve been sussing out fitting a trans cooler to both my VE and Cross8. (Connects the same as VF). It’s way trickier than I’d like. I’m thinking of getting some trans hoses and cutting them, fitting a AN fitting to the cutoff hard line part. Did you bypass the radiator all together?

2. @dassaur How did you wire up the forward camera? What’s your trigger wire for the forward camera? What have you got the image showing on?

I could have used the DOC connector but I ran my own wires up from the rear battery area along the passenger side of the car where all the existing wiring runs. THe top fuse was blank (I use it for something else too so there's another 5 amp fuse behind glovebox & the bottom is retained accessory power

I have a power magic pro in the glovebox for parking mode, which cuts all power to the dashcam if the voltage drops below a predefined setting (for me I put it at 12.0v)

From the power magic pro is a USB mini cable that goes up the passenger's A Frame and is tucked under the headlining up to where the front dashcam is.
The rear one is powered by the front, so it's just a cable that goes behind the entire roof headlining through the liftback grommet and into the rear camera. When you copy the files to a computer they are separate front and rear, not interposed like you see in the dashcam itself.

Ha I just trawled through your thread. Amazing work man.

Thankyou.

Did you bypass the radiator all together?

No l didn't bypass the radiator. Basically l just replaced the standard external trans cooler with the PWR cooler, & added the fan. The PWR cooler is larger than the standard cooler. I have yet to add the switch. Soon though.
