PORT3Rs 5L VQ Statesman

[PORT3R]

For those that know me, I recently sold my VT, and this is the new pride and joy
I don't have massive plans at the moment, just a few smaller things that I want to fix up to make her look a bit more classier. Perhaps down the track I'll look at more serious engine mods.

VicRoads will facilitate exemption permits to be granted by letter, upon application, for the following vehicle types:
1. Hight powered Vehicles with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne;
2. Hight powered Vehicles with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that are considered to be a family-type vehicle rather than a sports-type vehicle.

You work off 125kw/per ton or 3.5L/per ton, therefore with an estimated weight of 1563kg it would work out to:

125x1.563= 195.375kw (max engine output) - Standard output: 165 kW @ 4400 RPM

or

3.5x1.563= 5.4705L (max engine capacity) - Standard capacity: 4.987L

that was a lot of math
i think the vq would be a 'family' car.

[miltiadis_s]

this is a clean car awesome condition for its age

[PORT3R]

Cheers for comments guys.

Yeah I've got an exemption for power/weight due to her weighing 1900kg and only putting out 165kW. (125kW/tonne)

I'll get some pictures asap. Sadly, they will be off my phone, as my camera is dead. I bought myself a new DSLR for Christmas though

Not sure what the curb weight is, but when i weighed the international it was 1642 lol

[tr3nt]

Well.. If you think about it, what does an International have that the standard VP not have? a few other bits of bodykit really, a different steering wheel? Should be around about the same curb weight as a Calais? maybe what.. 20kg more?

Curb weight 1,332 kg (2,937 lb) for an VP Commodore (non calais).

[PORT3R]

Yeah, my bad I ment 1600kg (typo) I'll upload a few pics that I took off my phone when I get home tonight.
Why does Hozy want the mudflaps btw? He's more than welcome to have them for a minimal fee
How is the tune going Trent? I want to get one done also...
Got pulled over today, no wordswere spoken about the car being a v8.

Cheers, Dave.

[skruba]

[BXHD]

PICS OR BOOBS!!!!!!

i mean, what? *shifty eyes*

[hsvpunk]

boobs, yes.

sounds like you picked up a real nice barge...

look forward to pics when you get them up.

[PORT3R]

As requested I've got a few pics.
Nothing special atm, as I don't have a real camera on me.

After christmas the rear is getting lowered, and hopefully early-mid next year the new exhaust system will be going on.

In the middle of those 2 mods I'll be doing a few more smaller ones












Cheers, Dave.
