Snowy's Project VL

[snowybill]

Well, seeing as the laws for NSW P-plater's are absolute BS when just across the border they can drive what they want (ACT) i have to settle for a NA Oh well, its still fun

Current Mods :
2.5" straight through exhaust w/ Extractors.
4.11 LSD Diff
Custom CPU chip.

Future Plans:
1. Installing a larger throttle body (XF?)
2. Cold Air Intake
3. Exhaust, most likely catback, and 2.25 inch. (and remove Cannon)
4. Porting and Polishing
5. Custom Grind Cams (after removing the custom CPU chip)
6. Light weight pistons
7. Lightweight Flywheel
8. One Piece Tailshaft (Carbon Fibre)
9. Oversized Valves
10. Shave the heads or blocks, to increase compression.
11. A good ol' Dyno tune.

And finally, when i get my full licence, turbo the muthaf$%@# out of the engine. lol

Any other idea's for mod's would be appreciated, or interior ideas/audiovisual ideas

Cheers, snowy.

Dunno wtf is going on with the whole attachment side of things... but I'll try for some more pics.

imo just turbo it. run a stock crossover pipe or maybe a gktech hidden cooler sprayed back. Try run a fairly quiet exhaust and no dose pipe and you shouldnt have any troubles with cops. Ive never had the bonnet popped on my berlina and have only been pulled over 3 times in my 4 years of driving. twice for breathos and once for speeding.

[madvl1]

hey man clean vl. got any interior pics? and are you goin to lower it ?

[snowybill]

well im not sure if it has or hasnt been lowered... the tyres on the rear already scrape to the shithouse when ive got people in the back.. so ill have to get my guards flared im thinking... and turbo is very tempting. What setup would you reccomend? And yeah if i get around to it, I'll throw up some interior pics.

[VL_5SPEED]

Stock t3 or t3 high flowed, standard exhaust manifold and dump pipes, stock airbox setup. And yehhh if your running highcomp get the gktech cooler spray it black.

You can run N/A ecu and N/A injectors mine runs fine with them.

Where bouts in nsw are ya? If you got heaps of cops around your way its pretty risky. Here in newwy cops are pretty relaxed. Ive only seen them defect in hot spots like newcastle forshore on thursday nights.

[snowybill]

ohh okay, well pretty much the first day i got her home from newcastle i got pulled over twice before i even got home, in my home town. it was f%^& stupid. I think I'll stick with the NA mods for a bit, see how much fun i have with them lol, and then move onto turbo later on in my green P's
Interior pics SHOULD be attached lol.

[Nackerz]

[snowybill]

Cheers nackers. Hopefully next week, if not, the week after, i will have 18 inch ROH Mantis wheels going on, and be getting rid of the VT SS copies.. lol

[madvl1]

interior looks good. what brand racing seats are they? i want some for my car

[snowybill]

They are Autotecnica I'm fairly sure mate.

[Nackerz]

[madvl1]

Cheers mate.

so this was a newwy car? did u buy it from a guy from this forum?
My New VL

if so ive seen it before. Looks nice.

[snowybill]

lol yeah that might be him ! haha, i bought it from newy so it probly is him.

EDIT: nope that isnt my VL lol, unless he sprayed the door handles silver, in that photo theyre black, mine are silver

[snowybill]

And yeah i wanted to go for VE R8's but they are too wide im pretty sure, and i dont want the trouble of modifying the wheel tub lol. So i went for something remotely similar in the ROH mantis'

[snowybill]

Update :

12 inches of 1400 Watts thumping in the boot Powered by 1000W Monoblock Amp.
6 Inch in the front and 6 x 9's in on the shelf


And i really need to know, does anyone know how to put photos actually into my comment ? if that makes sense, instead of 'attaching them' because i've reached my attachment limit. Pleeease

Cheers, snowy.
