sounds good mate .. waiting for the pics

[VRSS]

got my car dyno'd today it made 144.1 RWKW with just exhaust and CAI im pretty happy with that

[Wagon_Wheel]

Looks great mate, i love the vr/vs ss, they look so clean.
Nice power figure with just an exhaust and that, must be a nice healthy motor.
Furys look pretty good on it too.
Any plans to make it quicker or you happy with it as is?
Get some better pics too
Still got the sig?

Nice new car, fair upgrade from the vh or vk whichever one you had. Looks the goods too.

[fitzy2005]

looks good in the 2 dyno pics getting any more? (perhaps clearer too :P)

[VRSS]

thanks wagon wheel, yeah im thinking of hitting foamy up for a tune or just buying the HSV 185 chip although i've been advised against the HSV one though for some reason?
and i want a knock sensor too to bring it up to around the 185 spec.
i'm just looking for cheap bolt on stuff for now cause when i start opening stuff up and messing with my cars they start going downhill and yeah still got the beast (sigma)

thanks highendrev yeah its a hell of an upgrade from the old VK a crapload more power, smoother, comfier just alot better all round really.

and yeah i'll get some more pics soon once i get my front lip maybe sooner.

Nice ss mate, my fav model is the vr/s ss. would like to see more pics

[JW 304]

Sounds like a nice ride, it would be great to see some pics
Well done getting one with so few k's - I don't know of many VR's with less than 200,000 on them.

[VRSS]

hey everyone, i want more power now the bug has bitten after my first dyno run haha..

i'm planning on a tune, knock sensor and maybe a HSV CAI with the HSV airbox lid (apparently flows 10% better?)
anyone can enlighten me with some cheapish upgrades to make my car go that little bit better thatd be sweet

[VRSS]
