    Default My new VR SS (few pics)

    Hi all, I just bought this car on Thursday for 8k, I was originally looking for a VN SS but they were all quite expensive, even more so than VRSS's so I thought I would get something a but newer anways i love it heres some pics/info:

    94 VR SS
    185 V8 motor
    has done 138844 Kms
    Auto trans with Stage 2 shift kit
    3" Exhaust w/ Extractors not sure on this exactly but the sound is very loud with no drone!
    Clubsport Kit w/ HSV Badges
    HSV OTR CAI (has hsv stamp but im sure my gfs regular holden cai is better in her VS)
    16" (i think) white Auscar rims
    JVC Stereo with Kenwood amp (couldnt give a **** about stereo)
    Has a decent alarm system
    Sunroof
    Power: 194hp with a dyno sheet

    The only thing I really would even like to get is a tune im real happy with it and its not bad on the fuel either, heres pics

    very nice car man and for 8k thats gold! theres only one thing that gets to me a clubsport bodykit on an ss just looks weird to me. but each to their own i guess.
    Good work!

    Cheers, yeah I dont think the guy who previously owned it put the kit on either, Maybe ill change it to an SS one if its not too expensive, I dont want people to think its a replica clubsport

    very tidy SS, not a fan of the clubsport kit on an SS and especially not a fan of the HSV badges on an SS, other than that, sweet ride.

    Is it actually HSV enhance or just has the engine covers on it?
    Lose the body kit and the wheels, get it to what an SS should look like.
    Apart from that not a bad pick up

    Thanks guys, yeah I do like the clubby kit but it just doesnt sit right on an SS
    I asked the bloke about the 185 and he said 'it was a factory option' cos how I thought it had he 165kw motor.

    Bit poor atm so unless I could somehow sell/trade the clubsport kit it will stay for a bit, I would like to get a tune for it, can Greenfoam tune VR's?

    oh and also im worried to rev it past 3k when theres people around cos its so damn loud, overall im very happy and would recommend a car like this

    nice car man, foamy does do the VR Tunes, i got mine done by him about a month and a half ago and it goes really well.

    dont like the looks of the clubby kit on it but oh well hopefully you will change it back to the SS kit.

    uh huh. But you shouldn't put down other peoples cars when you have nothing that comes close to being as good.

    wow.. its gettin hot in here! was quite impressed by that read out. made me cringe when i though just how much my stock V6 isnt making, blown head gasket and all. i really like the kit, im not a purist, so i go with anything that looks good (not a fan of the wing, but the only car that looks good with any wing is a supra.) i had a set of white 17's on my commy that would have looked shmicko on that, but i palmed them off for 200 bucks. i wouldnt bother changing much its a tidy lookin beast.
    If it aint broke, dont fix it.

    Nice ride, even if its got personaliy issues, I`m a clubby arn`t I arn`t I...lol.
    that read out is it for rear-wheel or fly-wheel? if its fly wheel then its safe to say its a 165kw
    though witha 3" and a CAI it should be more than that?even if it hasn`t been tuned for it maybe some new spark plugs, leads , rotor button and dizzy cap to restore some KW`s.
    then a foamy tune to put you in the 200kw range.
