    Default VN motor..P plater legal...

    Hey there everyone!

    Ive just bought my 2nd Vn and its got about 300k's on the clock and the engine is noticeably lazy. My plan was to take the engine out of my old VN (only about 120k's on it), clean it up a bit and drop it in my new VN. Before i do that, i just wanted to get a list of mods i can do to increase performance that will be P plater legal.

    Thanks in advance guys!

    List so far:
    Upgrade Fuel-Injectors ..
    K&N filter..
    good air pipe thingy ma bob LOL.. (??)
    good brand spark plugs/leads
    better oil
    clean throttle body
    CAI - better air flow
    upgrade coil pack
    tighten throttle cable
    performance chip
    cam
    get heads ported
    raise comp to 9.5:1

    lota things you can do that is legal for P plater..

    Upgrade Fuel-Injectors ..
    K&N filter..
    good air pipe thingy ma bob LOL.. (??)
    good brand spark plugs/leads

    And so on..

    As long as you DONT have the following:

    Turbo / super charger etc etc..
    If you have a Pod, it must be enclosed..
    DO NOT CUT SPRINGS!

    I know there is a lot more mods that are legal..and illegal.. just cant think of a lot atm.. Im grinding my teeth about to change my fuel injectors over..

    where abouts are u from swifty? because if ur in vic, u cant do ANYTHING to ur car to increase power, no matter how slight the increase may be, or how slow it is, etc.. cops can get u for a high flow air filter if they want to. it sucks ass, i know.
    ur biggest issue would be insurance companies finding mods and saying "BUUH BOWWW, no payout for u, silly duffa" *crashed into Merc* OUCHH.

    i want to do stuff to my car too, but if u get caught, its not worth it

    LOL yes ppl do need a sense of humour around here! once u have a post with something 'p plater' in the title. prepare for a raping!! i learnt my leasson hahaha.
    but if u dnt take wat ppl say to heart and shunt them off, u'l be right.
    ohh and another tip, use the search button, cuz if u post a thread asking a question that has been asked a million times before, the tribe will roast ur ass hahahaa.

    forgot to add.. better oil will help..( i dont know whats best..i just use whats recommended for vn-vp)

    also for better performance... clean the TB (Throttle body - thanks to Wogboyz)
    If you dont have a CAI, may be worth chuckin one in better air flow.

    And, is your coil pack the 'Chocolate block' looking? if so.. upgrade it, more spark..
    And for fuel..go with premium..seems to do wonders for my engine


    Also, another neat trick is.. Tighten your Thortlle cable, can help with response *DONT over tighten tho.

    AND (lol) look on egay (E-bay) you can buy a Performance chip aswell
