    Default VR 3.8L berlina wagon 2tone

    I bought the wagon a few months ago and thaught id keep some tabs on here for it.
    just a 3.8L v6 auto berlina with 2 tone paint. its dark blue over gold(never seen paint on a vr before) it just came with same old mods, 2 1/2 inch exhaust from cat back, pod filter and cd player.
    there was alot of problems...such as

    rusted out rims with no tread
    paint faded on bonnet
    gay ass altezza tail light
    rooted p/s rack
    rooted p/s pump
    rooted p/s hoses
    rooted z bar bushes
    tear on L/H front seat

    and then i hit a little roadwork sign haha fixed the headlight and front bumper

    the thing is i only bought it for $1000 so i thaught it was pretty worth it seeing as all of the electrics work.

    so far i have baught some fake leather and covered a few pieces in the interior, looks wayyy better than it did before, ive baught some cheap buckets, small ones coz big monzas n stuff dont fit me right, covering those too.
    ive fixed all the problems it had and re-regod it.
    planned i have stage 2 cam, chip, extractors, decent stereo, im going to mess with the altezzas and custom them a little, shadow chrome 5 star mags, caprice front end and a respray!

    open to suggestions and will post pics asap. THANX!!

    i'd piss that pod filter right off, it will just be sucking hot air in straight off your exhaust headers and screwing your fuel economy and any possible power right up, just put a standard airbox with CAI back in, will work a shitload better and wont cause shit with the cops.

    and 2 tone has never been on a Berlina, especially blue over gold on a VR, looks like silver in the photo's so you might wanna get some better ones of it.

    looks like a nice little wagon other then that.

    yep i used the old hose off of a standard air box and a few fitting so that it sits right behind my headlight, and fitted a bracket so that it doesnt wobble around, its actually not that bad now that it sits up the front, it gets some cold air from there.
    i should post some more recent pics...it doesnt have those mags anymore and a few other things

    hey mate,
    for the money you spend setting up twin throts you could have gotten much more power doing something else..
