That really does look good mate, as Hef said, the stance is brilliant. How do you get on with speed bumps, etc?

I don’t seam to have a problem with speed bumps.
Unless they are the really high ones and I’ve only ever come across them once in Exeter

Good to hear you have no issues mate. I’m ok in mine with the splitter on. But I’ve got about 50/60mm clearance on the arches. Yours looks lower.

Looks like I don’t have my roof rails

Looking great as always mate. I’m really looking forward to seeing this in the flesh one day.

Thanks buddy
And I sure we will meet up at some point in the new year there’s a lot of shows I’m hoping to go to next year.

Re: My EX BG VR6 3.2 build
Went on a rolling road today to see what bhp the caddy was doing and I had a little surprise I thought it was 227 standard.
But to my surprise it’s 250 bhp and 333.9Nm Torque. Nice numbers

Re: My EX BG VR6 3.2 build
For more power I would have to add a turbo and then 4wd to take the power and that would be a lot of money

Re: My EX BG VR6 3.2 build
That's a lot of power for front wheel drive but nice figures nonetheless

I think it’s just about right for a front wheel drive as you say.
Anymore power and it would have to be AWD.
I’ve not seen a AWD maxi

Re: My EX BG VR6 3.2 build
Maybe because they charge a kidney for AWD read axle and it is basically just one part but AWD/4motion maxi's are a thing (I have one) but have not seen one with V6.

Re: My EX BG VR6 3.2 build
Fair dos mate. That would be very expensive work indeed. I think 250 is a healthy amount, plus you have that sound.

@swan fiend
I think 250 bhp is a good amount like you say especially with the sound.
@sewi
Yeah your right the 4motion you do make it a maxi.
But I was thinking of a 4wd maxi build with a 3.2 VR6 engine.
But to do that would be expensive. So I will just have fun with what I have
