My WK Statesman

Satansfist · 24-05-2006, 12:41 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site so thought I'd post my car so everyone can get to know me!

2003 WK Statesman 5.7 V8 LS1
Bought it in September last year completely standard, since then:

lowered on Pedders approximately 50mm
PBR K1 brake upgrade (343mm discs twin piston calipers front; 315mm discs single piston calipers rear)
3.9 diff ratio
4>1 extractors, hi-flo cats, 2 1/2" twin cat-back exhaust (all stainless)
OTRCAI
flowed 75mm throttle body
MAFless tune
Caprice headlights/foglights and grill
20" DTM "Grange" wheels put on Monday.

Here's some pics and my dyno charts...made some nice gains...

RED is before tune; BLUE is after:

Hope you enjoy!

Very nice car, well done! You got any interior shots?

Thanks! None at the moment sorry, it's just standard interior anyway...I'm getting the "go" sorted before the "show"!

Got some twin turbo action planned for June/July...

I was looking at the Gen TT from Doughboy and Tuna here in SA but more than likely the guy who did my previous work will put a kit together for me at around 8 to 9 grand fitted (mates rates). Staying on the safe side for power production and trans longevity only looking to hit about 310 to 330rwkw...should be interesting...

DarkRayne · 24-05-2006, 03:08 PM

Sweet @ss Stato mate! very classy! rims suit it!!

Paid $3100, they're DTM "Grange" 20"x8.5". I not 100% certain but I don't think DTM are even making them anymore, at least they're no longer listed on their website.

afrothunder · 24-05-2006, 04:07 PM

very nice, love these statos. can we get some interior pics. rims look so much better than the other ones. i never new these came in 20's. just assumed they only sold them in 19's.

Sitting in my garage. I often have to "go bush" for my work and the roads aren't always the best so I thought I'd hold onto them for those occasions.

INSINR8R · 24-05-2006, 04:08 PM

that looks freakin awesome, great job

Hahaha...I couldn't find them 19!

I was tending to 19" due to clearance issues but was told with the right tyre it would fit even with lowering. Haven't had any passengers in it with the 20" yet so it may still rub...here's hoping otherwise...

BT1-187 · 24-05-2006, 04:10 PM

ahh k then ill try and find u a pic of the ones im talking about and see how much they look alike, $3,100 with tyres? where u buy from?

PS Dont worry not gonna steal ur wheels

just seing whats around...

Didn't think you would dude, like I said, I kept 'em for the bad roads (plenty of them in SA).

Yeah $3100 with tyres (225x35x20) would have preferred 245's but without going to coil-over suspension, guard rolling etc would have been a tight fit. Bought them from www.eagletyres.com.au in Sydney (I think) very helpful guys. I think there may be another set with www.bigotyres.com.au if you're interested.

BT1-187 · 24-05-2006, 04:27 PM

damn cant find... yeh been lookin for them i got a catologue from Bob Jane not long ago for a new guy in Australia (B-Boss) new design 20 inch wheels.

Um, roughly speaking from 192rwkw to 232rwkw...there was more in there but we stayed conservative for excellent reliability.

VooDoo · 25-05-2006, 10:22 AM

Good to see more tough barges around. Go for a drive to Vic and run a decent time now. btw, a nice 2800rpm stally will make it even better

Satansfist · 25-05-2006, 11:26 AM

Stu get off the internet, you've got too much time on your hands!

Have you got that stroker running yet? With the turbo?
