I wasn't into cars until i got this vn but now i am defiantly a car guy. Feel so lucky to have it though because was broken into a few weeks after i got it. Steering lock saved me but didn’t stop the bustards taking my jack and spare wheel and damaging my boot lock . So first thing i did when i got the cash was got myself an alarm and immobiliser.

I have had it for 2 years now and am ready to move on but don’t have enough money to move on to what i want so will keep it another 2 years.

Will keep saving until have enough to buy a VS and drop in a LS1 and turbo it. Can’t wait for that

Great first car my man, future mods sound cool, good luck wif it!

[CommodoreChick]

Nice first car, looks pretty straight... good starting point

[fitzy2005]

Next on the list is mags, lowered, CIA, V8 throttle body, side skirts and tacho when i get the cash.

personal opinion:
do mags, then cai, then lower, side skirts, throttle body, then taco

but the cai is cheapest so prolly best to start there

I will definitely do the mags next because got crappy chrome hubs on atm

Things got set back with a couple of fines for speeding and wearing no seat belt but appealed and got to keep my licence so just a costly lesson

I really want a colour change but not worth the money, rather spend it on making the thing run better/quicker.

It runs really smooth for a old vn but thats because it had to have a replacement trans within the first 3 months of purchase.
