MY VP BITSA ( bits of this and that )

**cbb01** · 18-01-2006, 07:49 PM

Had my VN stolen and written off so bought the wife a new car and inherited her VP. Was as stock as stock can be when i got it 2 months ago very clean family car but as stock as you can get. 165000K's ( not bad for 93 )

Lets see since then i guess the first thing is the VX type body kit, i also had a new VN bonnet so on that went scoop and all. New monroe shockies new lowered kings springs ( low on front super lows on back ) new 18" wheels and new rubber ( rolled the rear guards ) pod filter ( looking at CAI in future but i like the sound of the pod ) Nice new woodgrain steering wheel ( much nicer than the original VP one ) memcal chip ( now goes through gears nice and smooth i find ) New extractors and 2 1/2 exhaust has a nice sound ( not to loud but just enough to hear over the stereo )

Things left to do

new rotors and brake pads ( just got to get around to doing, need to do soon though ) was also looking at supercharger for a bit of extra VROOM the transmission needs servicing but thats about it. I prefer to just cruise around in it rather than flogging the **** out of it . Oh the aircon compressor has siezed and the alternator is on the way out

Was thinking about rear spoiler of some sort , i have a VP SS and also VN group A but like it without was also thinking of debadging and removing boot lock but thats another day.

Looks absolutely fantastic mate, I reckon go for a lip spoiler (like some of the fancy pants Holdens have), discreet but has presence..

Good work man

**hakhawk** · 18-01-2006, 07:58 PM

nice car, very neat, id leave it with no wing, looks great as is.

**Tekka** · 19-01-2006, 09:18 AM

Reeally good looking veepee, is it a smooth ride with those new shockies and springs u have??

**Trevor 062** · 19-01-2006, 10:13 AM

Definatly no spoiler required....looks good

**EvoVIIIJDM** · 19-01-2006, 10:15 AM

looks like one looked after street machine, good work on your resto work on her, and definately leave her spoilerless.

**smithy73** · 19-01-2006, 10:31 AM

Slick ride mate - All I'd do is lose the badges.
Very Tidy

**cbb01** · 21-01-2006, 05:34 PM

well by the numbers i guess no spoiler. Which was what i was leaning towards ( dont want to go over board just leave it as is ) Thanks guys and i agree with taking off badges will get that done when the other half gets her car back from the panel beaters ( why i brought her a new car i will never know )

She cruises very nicely now with all new gear under her well worth spending the money for the better stuff. I didn't want to go to low as i work where there are alot of speed bumps so went for low in front and the super low in back with low shockies ( a must for super low springs )

Any one in Brissy have an alternator or aircon compressor for sale

hmm what VX bodkit is that? and how do u remove the badges?

**EvoVIIIJDM** · 24-01-2006, 08:42 AM

badges easy to remove. Being the keen angler i am, fishing line does it just fine. just use it in a sawin motion. motion in the ocean mate.

**hakhawk** · 24-01-2006, 10:08 AM

gocommygo, its the vx clubsport kit, but its made to fit a vn/p

gocommygo · 24-01-2006, 07:45 PM

ah awsum, how much would it cost to get a VX clubby kit fitted (roughly)?

**Nobody Actually** · 25-01-2006, 02:13 AM

very nice, yeah, leave the spoiler off. looks sweet

**cbb01** · 26-01-2006, 10:15 AM

Good work man

I agree with Juzza, no ricey spoilers on that good lookin' VP, possibly one of those lip spoilers would look great. they suit VN/VP's

Nice paint for a car that old!

**fu2** · 08-03-2006, 03:57 PM

nice work mate. the vx clubby kit looks alot better than i thought it would.

**cbb01** · 07-11-2006, 07:05 PM

Ok
Exactly 12 months to the day my VN was stolen i have finished my latest upgrades.

Supercharger
Yella Terra 71mm TB ( in front of TB )
Intercooler
Water/Methanol Injection

New VZ front guard vents/indicators

Here are a few pics.
Will get better ones on the weekend.

**1991_Vn2nV** · 08-11-2006, 12:11 AM

Those vents look a little too low down? Maybe its just the angle. BTW good luck with the door trim, hope it comes off easier for you than it did for me hehe.

What charger is it? Nice VP man

**AGRO_38** · 08-11-2006, 12:27 AM

thats real nice
post sum power figures up

**SweetWagon** · 08-11-2006, 12:57 AM

Yeah a very neat SC setup, It must breath some life into the old buick

especially with that tiny pulley you got on the front!

**94vrexec** · 08-11-2006, 05:41 AM

looks sic man. how much power u get out of her now? and what sort of blower is it?

**R Photon** · 08-11-2006, 02:41 PM

It is a little lower than yours by the look of it but the pic is also a bit deceiving as i was above the car. Will get another photo on the weekend.
I had the idea of the guards litterally a day before i saw the pictures of yours and that just proved it to me.

It is the SC 14 Toyota running around 7 lb so just a nice little bit extra go

Not bad either on car insurance. Only $600 per year for agreed value of $9500
so happy with that.

**Jo3_Blo** · 08-11-2006, 08:02 PM

Wow! Fully sick dude!

Looks great!
