Checrolet Lumina SS

Some say that dark clouds follow him like the moon follows the sun.  Some say the infamous “we will rock you” tune, were writtin especially for him.  All we know, is his called Thor.  We caught up with him at a secret location where he told us all about his latest ride, the mods his done to it and what he’s got planned for this lightning fast Chevrolet Lumina SS.  It was a cloudy morning but that’s only because Thor was happy to see us.  Here is how it all went down.The sound system

AM:    How did you get involved in the automotive aftermatket industry?

Thor:    I always made my rides extreme with aftermarket parts

AM:    Why did you choose the Chevrolet Lumina SS sedan?

Thor:        I have owned many vehicles in my life but this time I was looking for a V8.

AM:    Where did you manage to get hold of Jan Steyn for the Rockford Fosgate sound installation?

Thor:        His scoobi’s crazy , saw it at pretoria show last year

AM:    How did you manage to get hold of Craig who did the awsome R28000 lightnig strike airbrushing?Airbrushing on the bonnet

Thor:        Got hold of him at the Top Gear show at the dome.

AM:    What is your coolest mod on the vehicle?

Thor:        Definitely the airbrushing and the soundsystem.

AM:    What modification cost you the most and which one the least?

Thor:        The soundsystem the most and the airbrushing the least

AM:    What have you got planned for the future of Thor?

Thor:        A wide-body kit and a twin-turbo setup oh and a set of 20” Black chrome rims.

AM:    You’ve recently ordered a set of 20” Black Chrome deep dish rims for the chevy.  What was the damage on your wallet?Current mags

Thor:        The mags cost me R28000 and I can expect them within 8 weeks.

AM:    Any wise words for young modifiers?

Thor:        Do anything you do the first time right.

AM:    Why have you decided to use “Thor” as the name of your SS?

Thor:        Thor is known as the “god of thunder” and what better name other than Thor.

AM:    If you could describe the Chevrolet Lumina SS sedan in 1 word, what will it be?  You are not aloud to use Thor.

Thor:        ”MONSTER”

AM:    Youre interest is spl (sound competitions) and show and shine.  This seems very odd coming from a Lumina driver.  Why not aim for speed and brut power such as dragracing and trackdays?
The sound system from inside the vehicle
Thor:        It’s amazing to see what people can do with their rides, I tried it too.

AM:    What has been your best db reading in spl competition to date?

Thor:        137.9 DB’s with a sound quality system

AM:    What have you, in total, spent on your ride to date other than the cost of the car?

Thor:        R220 000.00

AM:    How much are you still planning on spending?

Thor:        R250 000.00. Remember that the turbo system is R157000.00 and then I would like to do some extra work on the soundsystem.

AM:   Although the car is still somewhat standard (engine) can you give us some stats, such as fuel usage and tyre usageThe engine bay?

Thor:        6.8 k/per litre, ha – I don’t spin a lott!

AM:    I saw your car at the Castrol Extreme Motor Show in May under the great care of Speed And Sound Magazine.  What was the response from the public?

Thor:        Amazing !! What an experience

AM:    Coming from Pretoria, this question seems to be the most rhetorical but I’l go ahead anyway.  Which rugby teams do you support in the currie cup and super 14?

Thor:        The Bulls !

AM:    So Thor, your car is pretty much kitted out with sound, this is a follow up to your other answer, what are/is your goal DB?

Thor:    150 DB’s with an SPL system after sound change.The dvd player in a custom carbon fibre installation

AM:    What battery have you fitted to the SS and have you ever needed to replace or recharge it?

Thor:        No never and It’s still the standard battery.

AM:    The Lumina is a RWD car correct, have you ever had her ass hanging out sideways and if could you tell us where it was

Thor:        Oh yes, once. I went around a bend underneath a bridge in Pretoria North and I turned it around 180 degrees.

AM:    Everybody has there dream car, what is yours and why.. Will you keep it standard or would you splash out on a few personal touches?

Thor:        I believe I have my dream car and like you can see I am adding my personal touches. Lol.

AM:    Have you check out our website, yet? If so what do you think and what would you like to see more of?Airbrushing on the boot

Thor:        Yes, I visit often and I would enjoy to see more pictures.

Thor:        Thor !!!!  there will be thunder everywhere !! lol !

AM:    Are there any mods you have done to Thor that you wise you had not done, if so can you tell us about them?

Thor:        No.
