    Default Josh's VR

    G'day all, I am fairly new here, have posted a few times now. Took some pics of my VR today and thought it time to post it up here on the forum. Bought the car 2 months ago in full stock standard form with 143000km on it. Let me know what you all think, and opinions and advice welcome. I am finding this forum to be very helpful in learning how to modify my car. Anyway here is my car!!!

    Name - Josh
    Model - VR series 2, built 1995
    Colour - Masai red
    Engine Type - Buick 3800 --- 3.8ltr v6
    Engine Mods - Removed bellmouth, Mace Engineering enclosed Pod filter setup, topgun 8.8mm leads, NGK ix iridium plugs, Greenfoam tune (now this has been awsome), 70mm T/B (needs a tune adjustment)
    Exhaust - Redback extractors with a 2.5in cat back Redback straight dogleg style exhaust system with hi-flow cat... into a single 3in tip.
    Gearbox - 4L60E
    Diff - stock 3.08
    Brakes - new DBA front rotors with Bosch brake pads
    Suspension - Lowered at all 4 wheels using Pedders. Pedders sports ryder setup used. looks like it is lowered a couple of inches at least. Adjustable panhard rod, new power steering rack and pinion, all new bushes, new trailing arm assembly, Castor rod, C/DORE heavy duty linkpin kit.
    Wheels/Tyres - 205/65 R15 Goodyear assurance
    Interior - Stock
    Stereo - Alpine CDE 9874E head unit
    Alpine 6.5in type s speakers in front
    Alpine 6 x 9in type s speakers in back
    Other mods - Debadged, clear side indicators, took off mudflaps, Bolle tint, modified the cia
    Future Mods - I deleted all my future mods.... as i am not going to spend such big amounts of money on my V6 ...and the future mods i had would of cost heaps. Will save for a 5ltr instead, OR forget the 5ltr go for a ls1 powered commodore.

    Thats about it guys.... any suggestions and advice most welcome!

    thought i would modify my cia today.... well ripped into it with a stanley knife and this is the outcome. Kinda reminds me of the ss inductions cia except it does not look as neat and doesnt cost 300 odd bucks.
    You reckon doing this is going to add a little benefit to the cold air flow?
