    Default Help On Wat Mods To get Next

    Ride:VN Series 1 S Pack 1989

    Mods Already Have: CAI, 2.5"exhaust, extractors, fully recon shift kitted gearbox.

    Roller Rockers????
    Cam????
    Diff????
    Performance Chip????
    S/C????
    Anything i may have missed. Rough prices would help too and any recommended ratios. My acceleration above 3200rpm is good above 80kph but i wound like a better low range acceleration. I dont have any car knowledge in this area only the basics.

    Im looking to slowly do-up the car and get it in a nice sporty condition, nothing thats going to be pulling any serious power. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being fully stock 10 being worked to the max and fully illegal) im looking at about a 6.5 to 7.5

    it will prolly cost u like $800 odd bucks, for gear set, labour, oil etc.. but with 3.7's u will notice it.

    dunno anything about lsd but the rear right wheel only spins forwards and reverse but both rear spin alternately when you wheel spin(steep driveway so i have a few screechies on it)

    ^^ hmm i didn't really understand what u meant in that post?

    when u say that both wheels spin alternatively, do u mean sometimes the left one spins, and other times the right one spins?

    once the rear right loses traction it stops then the left right one is the the one driving the car but only in reverse.....my car leaves alternate skid marks up the driveway its weird i try to draw it under here

    mmm sounds weird... lol

    it is probably an open legger diff.

    which won't really be a problem unless you go ahead and put a cam and supercharger in. then u will really want an lsd so u get traction.

    my lsd is a bit loose at the moment, and although its only a standard 5L v8, if you try launch from the lights, it ends in lots of tyre smoke from 1 wheel

    i need to get it tightened up!!

    yeah, my car is 100% stock except CAI and filter. i've tested it with a g-tech and my mate in the car:
    it got 7.2 seconds 0-100

    and 15.3 for the 1/4 mile

    The lsd needs tightening tho, it was getting LOTS of wheel spin on the launches i did with the gtech. only 1 wheel spinning sucks! lol
