Doing Up A Vr Commodore

[Chady]

I guess she never came back..

I bought a V6 VR Exec Series II S with 158,000kms for $1,100 at a car yard.
Bought a few things from Maceengineering
CAI, MEMCAL and High ratio Roller rockers, then a 2.5 catback exhaust from eurotek automotive in bayswater.

I want to get 3.7 diff gear but i also want to do a bit of highway driving..

What else can i do to increase its grunt without a s/c or turbo since I'm only a P plater

I was about to have a go at the people saying "Get a chip" Without actually specifying what adjustments to the factory tune to have programmed onto said chip, then I realised it was 8 years old haha

Diff gears+LSD are the best bang for buck mod in a V6 hands down IMO.
Ive only got 3.46s since i do a few highway ks (my average speed is usually well above 50km/h on my trip computer) but i would have gone 3.7's if I had my time over

if you want it to be a *beast* best bang for buck would be converting to an L67 or V8, you have to spent quite a bit to get results from the n/a 6 IMO

^^ I agree, but these questions are often asked by p-platers who dont have that option

I already said that i can't go s/c, because otherwise that would be the first thing i would do

Even though it is illegal to have a modified engine while on Ps anyway..

I was considering diff gears except that i plan on doing quite a bit of highway driving, and i know I'm asking for the best of both worlds

I'm just going to get a heavy duty sway bar for the rear and give the car a nice repaint.
I was thinking wider tyres for more stability.. 235mm?
