[hakhawk]

start saving, its the best way, and shop around for what you want, set yourself goals, save and meet them, then set another one.

maybe start with a cold air intake, k&n panel filter or a pod if you're that way inclined.

extractors, exhaust, etc.

that should get you started.

[bundy bear]

thanx 4 the advice man. i really appciate it. Is there anythin eelse u can tell me about how to get the best out of me car?

[hinterland]

hi
is it a 6 cyl ? i would say make your own cold air take as there to dear to bye shop ones that realy do nothing noticable a good exhaust system is a plus and a good cam package will make a big difference and wont make it to much of a mission to get.

[SICVLOWNER]

can i do all of that stuff to my VL commy as well???

hey, something you can do right now is take the bell mouth out of your inlet. its very easy to do. holden put it in cuz the first VN was making a bit to much power then they wanted it to have. its in the back of the inlet.

[Just_Ice]

Like others have said Save Save Save........

Don't do things cheaply because in the long run its probably going to cost you more.........

simple things like Air Intake, Exhaust will get you started....

What is your occupation?

[bundy bear]

Wat cold air intake should i buy? II just want some ideas, i just bought a 2 1/2" sports exhaust. And im currently after a CAI. Just want some ideas on wat brand and type i should buy. And also, if u can, some prices on them. thanx

[IhateRICE!]

Hey Bundy bear

i ordered a CAI from Your local holden dealer and it set me back 35 dollars
cheap as chips i thought.
But like others said save save save is you best bet.

And how much did your exhaust cost ya

Cheers

[bundy bear]

me exhust cost me about $250. It was well worth it tho

[sno]

best two thing to do are KnN panel filter = 90 bucks
performance chip = 150 - 250

you will notice power gains out of these mods

[jack.mc]

unless your making your own chips i'd save that till the end. This is what I did:

Throttle Body Clean - this certainly helped
CAI with K&N
Full exhaust - extractors and twin cat exhaust
A few other little things
Chip

And now i want more...

Start saving is my tip - if you have a better job than anyone it shouldn't take too long

[sircruisealotVS]

I dnt have alot of money as of yet, but i want to start gettin gear.

well, you could whore yourself out to 100 fat chicks for $100 a pop...or 10 really fat chicks for $1000 a pop.
(sorry, could resist...god i love family guy)

I'm starting with the ACL Race rebuild...
It's like $800(rrp @ Repco)... Freshens the engine up, brings compression up to around 9.5:1 for the Vn/VP motor.
Then get it tuned.
Do the exhaust for around $800 (full system)

That's $2800 and will net some damn good gains!

notice this mentioned somewhere else on the site, is this safe to do?

[stocky]

notice this mentioned somewhere else on the site, is this safe to do?

yeah it is, but only applies to VN S2 - VR motors

[mistaken]

hmm which part is the bellmouth? pic? mate has a vp s2 who is lookin for some extra power.

[savage1987]

i have a VN series 1, and i put a bellmouth into mine.
no power loss that i've noticed, but it's smoother running now.
just leave the bellmouth in there, your engine could last longer in the long run

chop the springs
