Nice..classy..
How much u wana spend on it...guess thats a bad question because it gets addictive..lol

[AUSPWR]

lol yea well im expecting to spend close ti 15k on this one. i juat wanna start with the basics. then ill go for the 355 stroke prob a stage 3. what do u think would be the best to start with?

[Cobez]

Do the stroker kit first, then your other mods to follow.

[AUSPWR]

hmmmmm ok i might do that. but still exhaust 1st then stroke yea?

[beefcream]

lower, rims, stezza
exhaust, engine work, dyno tune

all the usual stuff. id do the looks a bit first personally then get the stroker made up then then do exhaust and all that to compliment it.

IMHO tyres and suspension and learn the car first before adding power. I jumped in a little deep mines already modded. (sh1t myself a few times LOL)

[AUSPWR]

haha yea thats fair. i was gonna do looks 1st anyway i already got it all planned out im just trying to plan put the engine mods as well.

[ucwepn]

Ahhhh that was the one from Scotts creek on ebay hehe. I was watching that but got the wagon instead

[Emackulation]

haha yea thats fair. i was gonna do looks 1st anyway i already got it all planned out im just trying to plan put the engine mods as well.

It looks MINT as is mate, don't change it. Get the engine done, get the exahust made to suit a 355 while the engines being built, thats engine and exhaust coverd, lower the suspension a bit and wala, done.

[AUSPWR]

haha yea its the 1 from scotts creek, picked it 7 months reg a rwc for $3,100 good prive i think. and im not chaging the looks all that much, maybe a respray (depends if i cand be ****ed) rims, new tinit, lower and thats about it. im not gonna go overboard haha

[ucwepn]

looks good and was definately on my watch list hehe, grats on nice vq!!

[AUSPWR]

thanks man. all i need to do is spend on it, damn money pit LOL! what wagon did u end up getting?

[Joey_21]

no point doing a chip first when ur gunna put other mods on wait til u finished moding then get chip or else it will be a waste of money and ur car will run like shizza

[AUSPWR]

yea thats pretty tru. thx man

[Wagon_Wheel]

Looks nice as mate, and a steal for that price!
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Dont go straight into a 355, but if you plan on going 355 in the future, build the car to suit that and dont bother with throttle body, or a cam or anything until you do the stroker, do it all in one hit.
Start with full exhaust system i would say, and get a tune off greenfoam, thatll be the best bang for buck you will get. Wont cost much to retune it again.
And then diff gears, then she will be moving for a stock 5 ltr

[AUSPWR]

hmmmmm ok that sounds fair. and yea i think i will start with the exhaust to suit a 355 for wen it goes in. u can see it in the flesh on either a friday night FG cruze or that one to docklands
