    Default My Blank Canvas

    Here is my car, just bought her in September 05....I didn't know if I should post this up here, as I keep getting told she is only a Lexcen.......
    But I beg to differ, they are the same...........
    She is a 93 model Vp lexcen, but there are a few things that don't match, like the grill, tail lights that i can find. If anyone can tell me different please do.
    She is 3.8 CSI, and the compliance plate does say "P" series

    The only thing I have done to her so far is put in a Kenwood MP3 player, but the first one got burnt out with an oxy, so needless to say, she now not only has another new stereo, but she also has 2 car alarms haha one set up to the stereo

    Any advice on what i could do with her would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

    Well I love the power she has now, although not as fast as most of you guys haha
    but, i want to keep her standard from the outside, maybe dressing her up a little.
    A friend of mine has offered me his twin turbos for her. but i don't know.

    But my main thing is, keep her as standard as possible so that when i do put the foot down people get a different opinion of the lexcens

    yeah she works awesome, i came close to having a head on in QLD last month, cops were chasing some guy in a ford, he swerved onto my side of the road, so i slammed on the brakes, and they worked well, although i did get a shimmy thru the steering wheel. like a vibration, but hasn't happened since

    my VL had a Nippondenso Supercharger, but only got another 5 horses, I never did see the point. so needless to say, we ripped it out and sold it.
    for $100 and bought the phase 3 computer chip instead i think it was
    I was 7 months pregnant with my son then

    as far as what you can do, start simple and cheap, rip off the granny shader from the back window, then it will look alot nicer, get extractors and a 2.5 exhaust system, if your a cheap ass jsut get cat-back :P

    new rims, off a newer SS, or even hsv looks dope as, or whatever your choice

    I haven't been on here for quite a while, busy with work and back operation.
    BUT I have wised up and got myself a new BLANK CANVAS
    Can't say a bad thing about the lexcen, she has been doing around 500 k's a week for work, but started getting a bit sad, so I went shopping
    Bought myself a 2000 5.7 VXSS!!!!
    Will post some pics on monday for yas
    Going to get my brother to airbrush her for me and put my 18's on her, she should look sweet
