@Storm
I am glad things worked out for you regarding the Landy. I would love to kow why you choose the Lumina SS over the Cayman.

For Lumina there is a lot of stuff out there, that can be done.

[uaeimran]

@Racerf1

Man...........no need to furhter modify this car.............!

Remember 1 thing........Stock things are Orginal.........u cant compare 3rd party Parts with this !

[uaeimran]

@gem_guy

Dual urpose is tht it can show Digital Speed in Mph , Tyre Pressure with Full Diagram , Fuel Economy , Distance Covered

[kewlsolara]

you can always put HSV body kit on to it and it will look mad

e.g.

@imran...

I dont think HKS, KONI, Bilstein, Pirelli or Venom parts are worthless!

They are upgrades, though not as durable as OEMs but they're definitely worth it!

[gem_guy]

These brands are just a few examples, dont degrade them by calling them Thrid party!

[uaeimran]

@gem_guy

Man.......but they r not the Original parts for Chevy....isnt ?..........

3rd party parts are durable tht i know.....i m not degrading them........use ur sense...........!......
3rd party doesnt mean tht they r not good.....infact sum companys are really fine enough and moreover Lumina Stock Parts are good....no need for further Modification !

ne ways.....thanx dude !

[gem_guy]

Beautiful kits @kewlsolara

btw, I have seen quite a few Lumina SSs with similar bodykits here in the UAE!....I reckon they'd be imported.

[shahroz_23]

Definitly a great car !!!!!!!!!

but why is the RPM redline at 5,500 K :s
should be higher for a sports car.

@gem_guy

yes mate you can by the after market kits for lumina/comodores easily in australia. and there lumina's are actually australian made. http://www.ssv.com.au , they actually deliver kits internationally as well.

[gem_guy]

@ imran..

I said Third PArty parts are NOT as durable as OEMs (stock parts)...
coz they definitely need more care and they do not last as long as OEMs.

I just meant these modifications can make the already MEAN Lumina SS MEANER!!

[uaeimran]

@gem

ahan ......ok

[Racerf1]

@uae
sorry but this is not a original Chevy car either, lol! Its australian and as much European, nothing American in it Except the GM name. Just like what @kwelsolara mentioned.

This car is made in Australia based on the Opel Omega chassis. and even the Cadillac Catera was based on the same chassis or still is with the current CTS.

And one more thing the 2rd party parts for this car a far superior in quality then the originals, funny isn't it? Well all after market modification parts are superior in quality to the OEM and that is the reason they handle better power, unless you buy thailandi or off the ebay.

[gem_guy]

Good valuable info Ashfaq bhai!!

I knew about the Holden commodore and the Caddy, but i never knew this had an Opel Omega chassis!!

btw...aftermarket parts are superior is quality and performance, but they dont last as long, do they?...

I guess mainly coz they are used by owners who give their cars a tough time with a heavy foot on the pedal!

correct me if i am wrong!

[Racerf1]

After market parts are built with a lot of abuse in mind and they are used that way too and hence you see them give up. But it is the OEMs that give up fast and are needed to be replaced, but by aftermarket, I mean manufacturers like HKS, Trust, Ralliart, Mugen and others

Holden Monaro:

Pontiac GTO:

all three cars are not very different form each other...
