Thats an awesome looking VP mate. Love those wheels and the boot install is pretty neat too. What future mods have you got planned?

[azkwazere]

Love the install... your own work?

hate the rims, personal choice though...

Your 'stock' diff ratio is out.... unless i have missed something...

Not a fan of the steering wheel, but i dont really like aftermarket ones unless really tasteful.

Clean looking interior, simple and practical.

Nice ride, love Vp/vn's so youve always got my vote!

aZk.


*** EDIT ***
You changed your diff ratio so my above comment is kinda irrelevant.

[pow3rslave]

i hope to replace the subs and amp with a reputable brand,
engine wise i'm happy with it NA, so a stage 2 crow grind is in order methinks (when i save up enough) tho at that stage i'm probably half way to the cost of an average V8.

yeah i did the boot myself, if you're not a geek the logo is from boba fett's shoulder guard. 3 blue led spotlights shine when the boot lid opens (1 on each sub and one on the logo)

i'll try to get pics of that part when i can (my memcard reader is dead)

[Linchpin]

That's a very nice looking car you've got, the bodykit and wheels really set it off. Looks like it's in pretty good condition too.

[Grennan]

I love the boot install. Absolutly love it. I would love something like that for mine, but im not that great with stuff like that unfortunatly. Great job.

[flyen]

love it mate

but needs to be V8 in my opinion
looks so tuff till u open the bonet

[pow3rslave]

i know, kind of sh**s me too, (derr) cos it doesn't fare too badly against rides that a v8 should beat, but being a sv enhanced, i'm sure they go home bragging that they beat an 8

[Emackulation]

Haha, I was thinking the exact some thing.

Looks real nice tho mate, good looking car you have there.

[NOT.BT1]

looks sweet love the boot install when i saw it (at the jc dyno day#1 ) you didnt have the subs in looks awesome all put together good work love a nice vp and yours is one of the nicest ive seen keep up the good work

[HIROLLA]

Nice car mate!!! Should boost it :P

Are the wheels 16 inch or 17inch?

Also what gear knob is that?

[pow3rslave]

i was thinking about boosting it for a bit, but the cost of the internals got me thinking that a cam might be better (kinda like NA too)

the rims are 17's, don't think they're genuine but.

gearshift is a short shifter that was on it when i got it, just a plain leather knob, but it seriously won't come off the shaft, tried twisting, pulling , looking for an allen nut. might have to get a new shaft if i want a new head.

here's a better shot of it

[HoZy]

PRobably not a proper short shift, was probably cut & knob glued on... That's why you can't get it off...

Cheers
MaT

[pow3rslave]

yeah maybe cut, but not glued cos it spins freely. not too freely, but you can twist it.

[calais_cruzin]

Looks good mate, you choose the kits i wanted, they look sweet.

Did you put the kit on it?

Im on the hunt for Grill, Front lip skirt and Side skirts.

Nice boot install, but i can figure out y you have the huge box around your spare tyre?
Very good job on it, luv the black carpet down the center, sets it off nicely.

Also just noticed this but ur VS CAI is different to mine and any others ive seen, only has the one hole n is smoothed, mine has the ripple lines from the cast, and a bigger mouth.

Hows foams chip go?

Very Nice VP u got mate, it would make me stop n look

[pow3rslave]

the kit came with it, so i can't take cred for it, but will anyway :P
i seen letterbox grilles for sale on ebay but they cost stacks

the larger box is there cos i have amps under it as well as the spare. i couldn't put them on the other side of it cos the whole thing folds down, so that's where they went.
it's not really black carpet, it's this black carpet/vinyl spray dye i used. just masked part off and put it down, it smells like brain melting (serioulsy wear a mask) but the effect is cool.)

after consulting the net i think it's atch a vs ss CAI

foams chip sets it off nicely, seriously if you can get him to do you one i recommend it. it's basicaly the tune for a 4.2 stroker with advanced spark by 2 degrees.

[STEALTHY™]

this car is sex on wheels!



Interesting why is doesn't have power windows tho, but it has a level 3 dash.

Whats the deal with cruise? it has the buttons, but is it hooked up? Looks like the cable is going to the throttal, but i can't see the box.

Remember if you want to sell it man (prefer without the stezza)

[calais_cruzin]

Yeah, sweet that i came on the car, saves your muckin around.

Been lookin on ebay and that but yeah way too exy, i may aswell just go buy a brand new one from a body shop.

Been thinking about sending a PM to one of the Chippers around ere, been hearing sooo much good word about it, soo im thinking i mite get a burn done on mine, everyone says its one of the best mods they have done.

Just checked the CAI and its a V8 one.

Damm that dye was a good idea, i just fort u layed a strip of carpet down with a design, its tops.

Did you make the box yourself, take much time to get it all in a lined up right, i went into my boot witha tape measure to get ready to do mine, but i just got sick of all the odd bits of metal under the parcel shelf stoping you from having it flat on top and flush with the rear seats, soo i gave up but will look at doin it again soon, now that i have Bass box pro 6 to help me make up my box right.

are they hard to install? just don't want to be left with holes where the winders were.

yeah cruise works, speed increase and decrease works, only prob is that i've had the cruise on and put the clutch down a couple of times before and it seemed to fang out the revs to redline, dunno if that's normal.

yeah dyed it then knocked up a stencil, nerds out there might recognise it from boba fett's shoulder guard.

the sub box i already had, but it didn't bit up on the higher shelf, so i sawed a fraction off it here and a fraction of it there and it *just* fit
here it is in my old ghetto boot before the modd


*edit, yes, those are towel rails protecting the subs*
and here's the original plan for the boot



was gonna have clear space down the middle, but the angles were impossible to work out

Its piss easy to get another set of door trims man



Interesting then, i guess its a factory fitted cruise, or a converted manual. Because Manuals usually have cruise deleted. , but yeah, my clutch doesn't have a switch either, but i like it that way.

[Grennan]

With the boot install, the black strip and boba fett's shoulder guard symbol, is that done with just stenciling?

What dye/paint did you use?

It looks really good.

[pow3rslave]

yeah they are just stenciled, the black's this vinyl/carpet dye spraycan stuff. cant remeber the brand but i think it might be vht, autobarn have it. it's evil smelling stuff and i'm definitely a bit stupider after breathing the fumes, but the car doesn't smell so it fades pretty quick.

the logo i just used this line marking paint in a spray can, it didn't give the cleanest edges, but i used a black posca where they were fuzzy.

only other advice i can give is that the black stuff will look like it's all good and done, but it can rub off if there's not enough of it, so it's best to go a bit overboard. it's marine carpet so it's gonna feel a bit like astroturf anyway.

here's another pic showing it halfway done, before the sub install

[Grennan]

Ah ok thanks a lot. Im going down to Nolans warehouse soon to pick up some carpets and maybe some sound deadener. I dont know if im going for 2 subs or not, im told theres not really that much difference between 1 sub and 2. Is this correct?

[pow3rslave]

probably not, and mine are a pretty ghetto brand, i only got 2 of them them cos i was given the box.

i got the carpet from bunnings for like 29/39 (forget which) a metre and the roll was 2m wide, so it only cost me like 60 bucks or so for 2mx2m of it. autobarn only have like 1m wide bits, and i think it costs more too
