    Default Red Beast from the South East! LoL

    hey every this is my vn s-pac

    3.8L v6
    5 speed manual
    HDT Extractors
    and i think a 2.5 inch exhaust

    car was modified by HDT..the extractors look similar to some vns headers that ive seen..so the previous owner could be lieing lol..but it has a great sound an when you release the throttle..the exhaust makes that popping/flaming sound. I wired up a level 3 cluster but i dont have any pictures of it in the car. Its a clean car because the previous owners looked after it well..the interior is clean as but the paint is fading. it looks pink sometimes. i also painted the strips on the taillights white. they look like calais lights but they are brighter.

    It was basic car.. no power windows or mirrors.no cruise control. But i got a smashed vn calais an im almost finished converting the s-pac to a calais spec. so now it has electric windows, mirrors, cruise control, trip computer, climate control. i still need to get a few parts for it such as an electric antenna since the one in the calais was broken and a electric window switch for the back.. car should be back on the road by this week! ill post some pictures up once everything has been done.

    In a few months the car will get resprayed atlas grey an i have got the vn ss spoiler so ill put that on it when it gets resprayed. im going to leave all the ss decals off it because its not an ss lol. im going to change the rims to the Monaro CV-8R rims.. they are 18 inch 5 spoke rims. then i will lower the car an leave it as it is.

    You won't be thrashing it too hard with duel fuel. Expect some power loss there. Straight gas would be alright, but duel fuel you get quite poor performance.

    from someone who owns a car that runs on gas, its still good on petrol so dont worry and mine goes the same as before i put the gas on, so its not even noticeable IF there is a loss in power

    btw i think a respray in red would be nice but im not the biggest fan of atlas grey so maybe thats the reason i chose red

    looking good


    EDIT: forgot to tell you, i love the calais mock up rear garnish and lights...... i thought they were actually calais gear, nice work......
