My VP Sedan

[Friction]

Here's my recently purchased V6 92 Model VP Executive. As far as I can tell it's all stock except for the steering wheel and the rims which are 17's.

I would love to hear from you guys telling me what I could do to improve her with physical as well as power.

[fitzy2005]

Power: Cheapest and best start: exhaust and cold air intake and k&n panel filter
Looks: looks nice how it is, the bigger rims would look better, not quiet sure if u like the spoilers but id take the rear spoiler off, (Personal opinion.) clear oval indicators (selling on ebay cheap)

[Friction]

What would I need to do to the exhaust? Replace it?
What will the cold air intake and K&N panel filter do and where do they go? What would they cost?

[fitzy2005]

cold air intake (think ) it gets colder air from outside car, well it sits on top of the radiator grabbign cold air from the front of car (do a search CAI and ull see wot i mean) and the K&N filter is less restrcitive letting more air flow through.
the cai kit costs about 50 bux from holden and the K&N filter costs about 100.

the exhuast get a Cat Back system cheapest way. pretty expensive about 300 + mark i think

What will a new exhaust do for it?

exhuast = better performance and better sound

I think those rims are 15's rather than 17's ?

[Friction]

Yeah you're right. My Bad! The day after I picked the car up I checked out the tyre size, and I could swear they said 17 not 15. Oh well, that just means more money to spend on the car.

I know it's been a while but I thought I would post an update.

These were taken just after she had a hose bath. You will have to forgive the mess in the background as these pics were taken in the garage at night.

Yeh.........3 years is a little while................lol.


Nice clean vp btw. Needs to be lowered. And maybe some bigger/different rims.

[Friction]

Yeah new 17's would be lovely when I get the dough.

[Friction]

New mod completed 25/02/09. Intake pipe and airbox painted same colour as car.

You do know thats a factory air intake?

[Friction]

Yes I do. What's your point?

[Friction]

Painted the wiper washer and coolant bottles.

[Friction]

I finally got a Cold Air Intake of ebay and is now installed. It will be receiving a coat of paint the same colour as the air box so it matches.

VS Dash conversion is almost complete. Painted Dash Fascia same colour as car and will also paint the centre console pieces soon. Just need to finish up the wiring and will be complete.

hey there awesum vp and what you've done top it so far looking awesum...
i just bought a vp too nothing done to it besides tha paint wheels n dash..
was just wondering if you can put cold air intake on dual fuel cars??
or you cant sorry if this seem like a dumb question i wouldnt have a clue bout CAI...
all i kno is improve performance...

[Bz Kn33z]

If i where you i would leave the CAI black it looks nicer, also there isnt much gap on them CAI so get a hair dryer or heat gun and a small block of wood and heat them up and push the wood in so it will make the opening bigger, i cut mine back to the ribs and then opened it up more with a block of wood.
