    Default bored VT wagon

    i All,
    i have a 00 vt wagon, its pretty standard apart from the mags, i was wondering what i could do to start making her look HOT!!!

    i dont want to change the body shape YET, but thought id start under the car and bonnet,
    and suggestions would be great,
    cheers

    De-badge and Lowered. Got any Pics you could post up? Be easier to give us ideas. As for under the bonnet, People have spent 1000s and have not really got much more from the 6, Unless you have the money for a turbo kit hehe

    get an l67 engine, and go from there!! i rekon, spend 6k inc the engine, and it will burn alot of 8's!!! lol.
    everyone will have alot of other ideas.

    as for the outside, personally i dont like wagons, but they do look pretty sweet when they are lowered, with a nice set of rims!! will be waiting for ur pics!!

    nope doesnt have tints, its Midnight blue, looks awesome, and i think tints would set her off

    what about a body kit, i dont want her to be a wannabe hsv or some dicky wired try hard

    I Left my Holden Badges on, Just remove the COMMODORE - EXECUTIVE and the V6 ecotec badges, just looks cleaner. Down to personal choice.

    im picking my l67 engine up next weekend i will be hoping around the 300rwhp mark!!! (after my mods ofcourse) puuurdy good for a six i think.

    it doesnt take much for a six to beat an 8. ASLONG AS you spend the RIGHT cash on the RIGHT parts!!

    exhaust: nice set of advance headers, or pacemaker extractors. depending on what you are doin e.g N/A or forced induction, 2 1/4in - 2 3/4in exhaust.

    suspension: im not good with suspension, whatever i say ide be guessing!!! the best things ive seen are the coil overs for the commos. suppose to be really good, like $4000 but.

    well thats what im interested in, not so much the look but whats under the hood and how it all handles, looks can wait, and i'd rather spend money on tricking it up...

    engine moods, exhaust, suspension etc...

    i wonder if you can have lake pipes like the old school 8 had, but as a 6

    Mate check out streetwagons.com for some inspiration. Some of the wagons on there are nuts! But yeah as above a decent tint, lowered, exhaust system (either catback or full extractors) would get her looking schmick! Maybe some bags in the back if thats your thing?
