[younggun]

Hey Guys

This is my 92 VQ Statesman Series 2 5lt

No mods as yet except a 3inch straght through which has to come off so i can get insurance (bloody insurance company ) but am replacing it with a 2 1/2 inch high flow exhaust very soon

K&N Filter
6/9's-Boss
12 inch sub-Boss
500 watt amp-boss
head unit-pioneer

Paid $3500 un regerstered but is pretty clean inside and out and has had a bit of money spent by previuos owner(freind of mine ) to get it running smooth only got it couple days ago but will have mods to come.


Tell me what ya think and any suggestions

Cheers

looks pretty clean mate. tint looks the goods. would sound nice with the straight through system from cat back.

a few ideas would be some nice rims, lower it, clear side indicators, remove the series 2 badges from under the indicators and fix the dint in the rear bar then it would be a very nice example of a statesman.

[younggun]

Thanks man yeh does sound pretty good with the exhaust yeh had most of them ideas in mind already first things is that dint and the arial it is *ucked makes a weired noise and then im getting a nice set of 18's or something

Does anyone know where i can buy a garnish from got a few small cracks in mine wanna replace it???

Cheers

yeh mate ill be tryin with work at the moment pretty busy but yeh ganna get it done asap gotta get this exhaust dont first got a few ideas for in car system aswell Big Question?

but thats after i got it looking nice and maybe a bit of performance work

[white vn ss]

get garnishes off ebay or wreckers. have you thought about goin digital aerial and deleting the aerial hole from the passenger side guard? im thinking of doin this when i start to clean the exterior of my car up.

[younggun]

what sort of price do you recon i will pay for the garnish???
sorry mate im not familar with a digital arial what are they, where do they go,how much they worth etc ?????

Cheers

[younggun]

Anyone know the price for a garnish from a wreckers or ebay????
approx price will be fine????

[white vn ss]

really depends on prices from wreckers and whose selling them on ebay. keep you eyes peeled.

digital aerials take away the aerial and motor and where the plug goes from your head unit instead of into the aerial motor it goes into a little box that sends out radio waves and picks up radio signals. these can be bought from dick smiths jaycar etc.

[younggun]

oh nice yeh might look into that doesnt seem like a bad idea cheers for that mate fellow stato owners looking out for each other

[Lumps of cheese]

Very nice mate, alot of potential there.

[younggun]

[younggun]

Bit to be done there mate, ya need some rims asap N that damage to the rear of the car needs a fixin too, with the garnish, tail light, rear bar and rear quarter panel... Good luck with her though.

[younggun]

whats wrong with my rear corner panel bud i cant see where u are talking about??? yea i know about the garnish and the rear bumper

[1991_Vn2nV]

Ah it might just be the reflection, it looks like a small ding on the top right of the rear tail light?

[younggun]

yeh mate that is just the reflection aye it does look like it in the photo but yeah this weekend im going to fix up a few of the small things just get everything right then throw some rims on it

[younggun]

hey just wanna know what size rims people recon i should get??? chrome or not?????

cheers

20's are sweet but tyre prices are ridiculous and you can only fit like 215 width tyres on VN/VP/VQ I think...

I went with 19's mate, they'd look bigger again on the VQ because of the peice that goes over the back wheel arch.. Cheapest tyres I can get are $240 each so keep tyre prices in mind! I aint lookin forward to replacing them Plus you can fit 245 width tyres on the front and rear with most 19's... maybe even 255's

18's look big on VN/VP/VQ and tyre prices are cheap in comparison, but 19's and upwards really fill out the space
