vn 5l first car

[jack5l]

hey thought i might chuck some pics of my first car up

its a vn exec 5L, 5 speed.

mods: sv5000 front and rear bumpers, ss spoiler, 15inch CSA rims, extractors + 2 1/5 inch exhaust. basic stereo

[stocky]

very nice for a first car. can i recommend finding some side skirts, and getting a slightly bigger exhaust along with a tune from greenfoam on here

[jack5l]

yeah i'll do a few things to it once i have some money, i thought about sideskirts but personally dont like the look of them.

would i get much gain from a bigger exhaust tho? and what is a greenfoam?

[stocky]

greenfoam is a member on here that does tunes for pretty much everyone here with a VN-VS. best gains for the price, and the price is cheap.

I like the Kit, needs skirts on her though, SV5000 is my Fav kit in the VNs front bar looks tough as. VN V8 Manual there is some fun there big exhaust and tune with a good CAI would be a real good start.

[Morton]

That is a spectacular colour. I absolutely love it.

But you know, it's a manual V8... so frankly it's going to kick arse no matter WHAT it looks like

[SAV_117]

remove the towbar if u dont use it

[VQ-Assault]

get the sv5000 body moulds and flares for the wheel arches and maybe put the sv5000 hsv badge on the grill. cool car anyway

[50LTRv8]

Very nice car, I wish my first car was that good

Well done

[1991_Vn2nV]

As above get some skirts man, maybe SS? Top car though, very nice VN

Where abouts in Adelaide are you?

[Morton]

yeah, needs skirts Currently looks like a two-way snow plough.

[Emackulation]

Don't put a HSV badge on or it will be doomed for all eternity.

[STEALTHY™]

That looks awesome. Would be better with full SS kit, but still cool!


Upgrading the rims anytime soon?

[jack5l]

thanks for the advice guys. yeah i think its a wicked first car.. especially seeing as i only paid $1000 for it, exactly how it is

hmm yeah ive just finished school and have started working pretty much full time so i should hopefully be able to start doing a few things to it.

i'll probly look into getting skirts sometime soon but i dont really like the sv5000 skirts so i dunno what i would get..

definitely thinking about new rims. no idea what to get tho. will bigger rims = more cop attention? i just dont wanna get defected haha

[Bz Kn33z]

Get SS skirts if you dont like the SV5000 ones, $1000 for it your kidding how did you get that bargin :O anything wrong with it? take some photos of the engine bay.

[Renno]

$1000.....bargain!!

[jack5l]

yeah might look into some ss skirts.

umm i got it cheap cos i got it off my cousin, nothing wrong with it. had to replace a couple things recently, radiator, clutch but nothing too big.

engine bay shot


cant really decide where to go with mods next....

[Renno]

Mod wise......well im still cleaning mine up so i havent started mods yet lol

a gear ratio change will be the first thing i would do, as with a general clean up of sensors and t/b and definately a CAI!

[jack5l]

thought i might chuck a couple more photos up while im on here..

[stocky]

damn thats a clean engine. cant get any better for $1000. nice pickup there

[SAV_117]

****kk thats cheap as hey i got a suggestion for lights

Holden Commodore HSV VN VP Sedan Altezza Tail Lights - eBay Tail Lights, Lights, Indicators, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 11-Dec-08 08:10:08 AEDST)

i think they look hell clean and good but yeah nice car man bargain lol damn u

[STEALTHY™]

His lights are fine

[Grennan]

Dont tell him to get altezza's. Stop putting silly ideas into peoples heads.

It looks great how it is, simple body kit great color. Just finish it up with the side skirts it just looks a little uneven. For 1000 bucks thats a steal, it has great quality paint, engine bay looks really clean and ITS A MANUAL.

[VQ-Assault]

yeah don't change the tail lights they look good as it is. be glad they aren't faded like some. and don't paint the engine covers either. looks good the way it is

[SAV_117]

there the same except the indicator is clear
