hey man and welcome to JC

first thing you do is a search as this is covered so many times.. there is massive amounts of information on here going on about the VL commo and all troubleshooting.

goodluck with it

be sure to navigate to the RIDE section and post up your commo in there.

Short of some sort of forced induction you are wasting your time and $$$. Cut your losses and buy something with a LS in it.

Are you on your p's?

[calais24/7]

turbo conversion if your on your not on p's
if you are on p's buy a stock turbo motor, build that up, when you get your fulls, put the turbo engine in and have some fun,
bottom line, its not worth buying perfomance mods to a standard 6cyl. keep it serviced and running well and thats all you can really do.

i did lols... and im having gr8 fun. Rb30 is a tough donk man if done correctly.

but as u stated keep it running, and do a build

First thing I would do is fix the rust under the front and rear windscreens

[Munz]

And definitely take the underlay out of the boot (under the carpet)

cause that shit will rust up your boot when it starts leaking from the rain

rb25 head and 26 intake untill you get off your p's

rb25 head and 26 intake untill you get off your p's

waist of money.
Keep it serviced then go rb30et later in life or ls1 etc

Is it an auto or manual? If its an auto and you are mechanically minded i would say convert it to manual. Tint the windows if they aren't already, get some nice wheels lower it and keep it tidy. When i got my first VL which was also my first car i pulled the auto box out and converted it to manual got the windows tinted, new mags, lowered it, installed central locking, sports steering wheel and a stereo system. some things are more expensive then others so it depends how much money you have to spend really.

Sorry i didn't read the title properly, thought you meant do it up over all.

Do what I did and make it look cool. Midnight Express on the windows, lowered, 17's, if it looks cool it gives the illusion that it goes faster. Also get a standard K&N Panel Filter for about $100, better than a pod IMO, also maybe some injector cleaner as well?

The vl is an auto I have put interceptors with dress trims on and caps on with 245s on the rear and 215 on the front is already low and needs a new paint job and the little bit of rust in the rear boot just under windscreen need's a bit of love but look wise I'm happy with were it is atm just looking for speed and handling and not to keen on tinting the
windows. have put a wood grain sports steering wheel in

I really don't think you get any extra power from a K and N panel filter, they are reusable though which is good.
