    Default general help?

    Hey.

    I have got a VS executive, bought nearly a year ago..though the car runs smoothly is there anything I can do to make it more efficient, maybe a little bit more power?

    The only damage done to my car is when I was at the lights and truck nudged me causing my boot to not always shut when i open/close it. but that is not a problem atm.

    I had slight problems with my radiator but I got that fixed.

    I am not looking to pay a huge amount and I KNOW im not going to get much in terms of power because of this. (supercharging it etc), but is there anything i can do to optimize performance of my car, to get at its full potential, this car has no mods except non-factory rims.

    thanks

    I fitted a set of tuned length pacemaker headers (extractors) to my otherwise standard VSV6 and they gave it more mid range and top end pickup and also made the engine run one mark cooler on the temp gauge .They also made it better on fuel.With a new sports type system fitted with the extractors, it cost me around the $1000 mark all up,which I think I would have saved in fuel by now.I live in the bush, its probably cheaper to buy and fit if you live in the city as thers a lot more places to choose from and get quotes from.Or you can buy it all online and pay to get it fitted,or fit it yourself.Cheers.

    Contact Greenfoam or Delcowizzard for a memcal that is suited to your cars specs... You will notice a difference. Apart from that just general servicing with good quality parts... CAI will help with fuel also a K&N Panel filter will help.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
