    Default Vn SS

    This is my VN SS.
    got it for $4500. motors pretty good hardly any rust on the body
    i pretty muched saved its life from the previous people who owned it. they had no idea wot they were doing to it. DAYMM it was messed up.
    slowly fixing its problems runnin better each time.

    ~EXHAUST - Some Extractors? 2.5 inch catback with no middle muffler
    ~RIMS - 235/45/17
    ~INTERIOR - leather
    ~SOUND SYSTEM - Alpine Type S 6.5" splits Front
    Alpine Type S 6x9" Rear
    12" JBL Sub and some VNET series 275 Amp
    Alpine Deck CDA 9811R

    ~ENGINE - Stock 5.0L
    K&N Pod filter

    ~EXTERIOR - VN SS bodykit Atlas Grey
    - Fog lights (aparantly a cop pulled me over and said its illegal to drive with them on haha ass)
    ~SUSPENSION - Stock FE2
    ~DIFF - Stock 3.08 LSD badly worn haha
    ~TRANSMISSION - Stock.

    Thats pretty much it thats how i got it xept i chucked on the pod filter cos it had some wierd one that was dodgy and i had that K&N one laying around.

    evrything in that car was done so dogdy by the previous owners it was actually funny to see some of the things in it. just shows how lazy they were.
    but anyways im cleanin this baby up.
    gotta redo the soundsystem for sure lol wire all over the show like a mad womens **** haha.
    iv redone alot of the hoses serviced my injectors all the basic engine service stuff pretty much major service to it and fixed leaks in the engine.
    gotta pull the engine out some day to fix the rear main seal.
    and once iv cleaned her up.
    the mods come into play haha. heres some pics

    Honestly mate! Look after it! There are soo many fake arse atlas grey ss's out there that dont even deserve the attention. Its a fave colour mate! Keep it real and simple and it will look after you.

    nice ss mate.. atlas grey ss's rock haha.

    and leather interior ey? is it comfy? only reason i dont want it is cos of the heat.. but you have tinted windows right?

    and gee the bodys nice and straight, paintwork looks good too besides the stonechips on the front bar but that wont be much to repaint or whatever. looks like a nice project!

    yeh the leathers actaully real comfy but yeh u got a point about the heat and also the cold lol but tinted windows help out a bit xept my tint isnt too good im getting it redone sometime get it a bit darker. but also to keep the sun from burnin my ass off is those things u put on ur windscreen those big shiney things you fold out but i dono what there called lol but u know what i mean.. yeh there are a fair bit of stone chips on the front and rear bumper so im gonna respray that aswell. shood look mint after that. but also no ones pointed this out cos u cant see it in the pics but my spoilers all messed up but i dont know wot to do?? get it fixed or rip it off?? spoilers not my kinda thing and i was thinkin to get a fatter rear bumper?

    imo id keep the standard spoilers/'bodykit' on the car cos thats what makes a vn ss a vn ss. ESPECIALLY the spoiler. i cant see much of whats wrong with your spoiler (is it sitting up a bit or soemthing? looks a bit out of whack in the side view.. maybe get some closer pics up of the problem ) but theyre one of the easier parts to find regarding the ss kits. theyre always on ebay and occasionally people sell them on here.

    I would drive to another state, just for that!
    Just adjust the U shaped piece of metal that the boot latches onto, so the spoiler is flush with the sides.

    That would be f***ing awsome! I would drive to another state too, even if it was just 30 or so vn ss's rumbling away.
