    Nice clean VR you have there mate and as for the Kms,180 thou is really not that much . . If its been regularly serviced than it should be fine for another 100 thou at least . . I think there good reliable cars . .

    Nah your car has relatively low k's for its age. Most VR's are running around with 200-250 on them. As long as its been treated well it should be pretty good.

    Looks very neat mate. Mines got the same amount of K's on it. Not much performance wise done to mine, but I have a 2.5inch exhaust, advance extractors, VS Super Charged 6 cold air intake and K&N Filter. These basic mods should get some more kw's out of it. Other than that supercharging or turbo will get good results too.

    well i've done a few things to her look, nothing major like lowering or anything (not interested in that)

    but i've thrown in a pod filter which makes it sound so much better when she takes off, and of coarse a 1200W Kenwood Subby

    She started off like this ~


    And this is her today ~



    all i really wanna do now is piss off the red garnish and get a grey one, after that i will be very happy with her

    let me know what you think

    Nice lights. I see you threw on some clear indicators too. How's the POD filter in terms of temp?

    thanks michael

    the temp is a tiny bit higher then the stock, but it gives her so much more grunt

    That pod giving grunt is all in your head, probably robbing you of power, unless of course its fully heat shielded. Other than that thats a very clean car and judging by the exterior/interior it probably has been well looked after

    Were you in Geelong today? I swear I saw this car in East Geelong at the Towsend/Boundary Rd roundabout at about 3PM. If not, it was someone else with the same car and same taillights hehe.
