    Default 1994 VR help

    Hey guys i have had my VR for about 4 months now and have done very little to it apart from a CD player new speakers so i was wondering what i should do to make it look and drive better any ideas would be great.

    Things i already plan on doing -

    New paint job. (Currently has lots of stone chips)
    New rims and tires. (Free from my mum!)
    New exhaust system. (Don't have any idea on this one i want something that will sound good)
    Tint windows.
    Tint tail lights and indicators.
    and possibly a body kit depending on price.

    Any one think of anything else?

    Pics of car will be up soon just letting it dry.

    nothing better then a full service, all filters, new plugs and leads. change the oil and run a flush to really clean it out. service the trans. change coolant and new thermostat (you have the coolant out anyways and then you know it will last for years to come). new diff oil.

    then to improve performance a little, start with a 2.5" cat back zorst, most people here recommend red back systems, however listen to a few different systems and decide what you like. also a highflow panel filter and holden CIA

    Thanks for the reply it's due for a good service so ill be sure to get most if not all of that done also i take it all of them mods are not legal to have for a 17 year old like myself so i was wondering if you could point me in the direction of some that would be legal.

    Thanks in advance
