**mischa** · 28-10-2007, 12:58 PM

tints nice and basic, VP with nostrils tho would be a sight

**seans VL Calais** · 28-10-2007, 01:01 PM

supercharger...

**Joey_21** · 28-10-2007, 01:13 PM

supercharger or minispool and tint

**LowVp** · 28-10-2007, 02:23 PM

super and lsd

**Hillerus** · 28-10-2007, 03:17 PM

Go the charger and lsd. Dont go a late model kit on a early model commo, most look pretty average.

If you really wanted a kit, you could save up a bit more and get an Aero kit. They look pretty sweet.

ss kit and charger

**stocky** · 28-10-2007, 04:07 PM

dont get the 3 inch exhaust unless you have a decent charger setup. youll lose power otherwise. and good luck getting a turbo for $1500.
i say go with the charger

**dijm8** · 28-10-2007, 10:37 PM

say if i was to get a charger, i wud most likely to get a intercooler with it for furture changes... any 1 knw the rough cost of it?

cheerz

Personally, I wouldn't be putting forced induction into a buick 6. They go alright, but for the same money you could have a decent V8 running with far less complications/possible defects. With $1500, I'd be getting a good shift-kit + corvette servo piston upgrade, some spicy 3.7 or 3.9 diff gears with LSD, and doing some work on my suspension.

But that's just me... I don't tend to think the V6 is worth big power figures. imho a VP V6 is worth about $1000-$1500 in power upgrades, and maybe $1000-$2000 in handling upgrades... then just enjoy it

If you want to go hardcore, get two more cylinders

**dijm8** · 28-10-2007, 11:21 PM

to b honest i also think that doin a 6 up is a waste of money... thats y i still left the bodykit option open still.. i rather hav looks then power but ive still got a few weeks to decide i'll c how i go :P

**Morton** · 29-10-2007, 12:42 AM

hehe yea, there comes a point on a V6 where the money

ower ratio becomes unbalanced. The beauty of stuff I suggested like a shift kit, diff, and suspension - is that if you ever buy a V8 or drop a V8 into your VP, those mods retain their usefulness

**azkwazere** · 29-10-2007, 01:32 AM

suspension wont, need differnt springs for an 8....

aZk.

**Morton** · 29-10-2007, 02:24 AM

I was thinking more along the lines of adjustable strut tops, thicker swaybars, strut brace, etc. Isn't dijm8's car lowered already?

**azkwazere** · 29-10-2007, 03:14 AM

it looks likes it, pic seems to indicate its on 18" and droped on SSL but it may be a chop...

im a looks and relaibility guy so a sweet looking bodykit is more important to me than power....

id say the kit or anyhthing else asthetic.... over power. Make sure your suspension and brakes are up to scratch first.

aZk.

**Morton** · 29-10-2007, 05:05 AM

Oh, and on a side not mate, whatever you do - DON'T put a VT Clubby kit on her. It just... isn't cool.

**CALAIS 6** · 29-10-2007, 09:33 AM

forget the kit and bonnet scoop they will look shocking.Im with morton trick out the trans some diff gears and little more on handling side and she will be bit more fun

**dijm8** · 29-10-2007, 01:31 PM

yeh its alredi lowered SSL along with 18's as in my sig... wots wrong with the vt clubby kit i dnt mind it actually n havent seen any round b4 so... idk wot to do lol

**dijm8** · 29-10-2007, 03:43 PM

ok been talking to my dad and thought of a few things... stage 3 shift kit, minispool, slotted rotors and tint wot u guys reckon.. any 1 know prices to these??

cheerz guys

**mischa** · 29-10-2007, 03:59 PM

yes shift kit, dont know why i didnt mention that. proberly cause it wasent in the list

that VT kit dosent look bad, not as outa place as others do.

**nathans1987** · 29-10-2007, 04:01 PM

what type of charger can you get for 1500?? i would be looking at a v8 conversion

**dijm8** · 29-10-2007, 04:04 PM

well most likely the sc14 but ther crap ne way... yes the v8 conversion has come to mind every now n again but wud just b hell easier to buy a v8 n swap all the goods frm my car to the other

**dijm8** · 30-10-2007, 01:00 PM

just got sum prices on a couple of things.. stage 2 shift kit is $350 thats including service... and an LSD is around $500-$600 thats not including fitting.. still yet to confirm price on it... what do u guys think r these good prices???

**dijm8** · 30-10-2007, 01:36 PM

just got another quote frm boss automotive dwn at lonsdale... $700 for a brand new LSD to get it fitted will b another $500 so about $1200-$1300 all up.. if i supply my own LSD they will recon it for around $250

hows that sound guys??? considering i got a quote for a used LSD for around $500-$600
im findin these prices alrite.

edit: also forgot that they will replace all the bearings aswell along with a few other things

**V-ahhh** · 30-10-2007, 02:51 PM

how about 5 speed conversion :P i reckon u could find a cheaper lsd than that.
