MY VX SexPac

[t1mm3hh]

Hi guys,

this be my first car, 2001 VX S Pac.







It was completely stock when i first bought it, with only small things to replace in time from wear and tare. It's done 154000 K's.

The engine is completely stock, and I plan to keep it that way for a while.
The exterior is the same, completely stock. I'm thinking of taking the 'S' badges off as the coppers around my area get funny about it and mistake it for an SS . Looking stock hopefully will keep the coppers away from me

I've installed a HID kit for my headlights. After having the boring yellow lights, I will never go back to them after HID's. If you haven't got them, get them. They are amazing.



The interior on the other hand is beginning to be completely transformed.
At the moment, Phreddy/Greg has done his magic on the lighting .







I've got a fairly decent stereo running in it. Alpine headunit with 6.5" Alpine type S speakers in the front, JVC 6.5" speakers in the rear doors, Kicker 6" x 9" in the parcel shelf and a 12" Pioneer sub in the boot .

Future mods will be painting the dash bright orange (not fluro) to match in with the rest of the orange on the car and possibly just powder coating my rims black instead of buying new rims ($$$$$).

What do you guys think?


P.S - Sorry for the shitty pictures, camera doesn't like the dark :3

looks nice man, second best colour the VX's came in, first being quicksilver :P

[t1mm3hh]

thanks mate. haha yeah i would rather the quicksilver by a long shot. only downside to this colour is its hard to match other colours with it (such as lighting and such) but at night, you dont really see anything other than lights, so i just go with what looks the best at the time

does anybody know how well the vinyl dye works? if so, if i bought black and used them on my seats and trim, would the fabric turn completely black, or would it still have different shades as the fabric has orange through it :3

[Jonesy484]

i use vinal dye on my dash fascia haven't done it on my seats, go to the wreckers and get some material off a car

[t1mm3hh]

yeah i might head down to the wreckers when i get the chance. thanks mate

[VX21]

love the car mate, that is my fav. colour!!!! look so fresh, you dont see many vx's in that colour only vt's, not a bad find!

you can get spray cans made to match in any colour you like, get your paint code from under your bonnet and get it matched would look sick, or maybe go for a piano black facia.

yer debadge it all, get rid of the ecotec v6 badges while your at it too.
get a nice exhaust and some ss headlights and some sl's and it will be amazing!

[Cameron P]

how would having an 's' badge on it make coppers think its an ss lol?? debadging it would make coppers think it could be an ss even more.. well the stupid ones anyway

sweet ride btw

[JRNZER]

Nice looking ride man.
They sure are a great car to drive.
I've got a black one.

[undersuspicion]

car looks good mate

[t1mm3hh]

thanks guys. when i was pulled up one day, the copper is like "is this a v8 ss? you cant be driving this on your p's. can you pop the bonnet so i can have a look" even though it clearly says S on the rear and V6 on the side of the car. some coppers in my area are pretty cool. and others are absolute f heads.

but anyways, exhaust will most likely be my next mod

[VX21]

they must be pretty stupid, i know somone who is still drving a vz ss on p's and has just debadged it, been pulled over but never checked engine. thats way more sus than a completly stock spac hahahaha

defs go a nice lukey or something cat back.

[t1mm3hh]

they are just hard-asses. haha surely you would think the sound would give away that its a v8. they must be pretty lucky :P


yeah lukey is the only brand im going to go for. the sound is just so much better than other brands.

[VX21]

Yer that's what I've got. The best. With the rear muffler out sounds so much meaner!

[t1mm3hh]

Dash is all painted as well as the surroundings for the air con vents. Its a lighter colour than the car itself, but it looks extremely good. I didnt expect it to come up this well, so im very happy with it.

[Jonesy484]

looks nice man how hard is it to take the vent surrounds out to spray them?

[t1mm3hh]

took me 2 mins to get them out. just get a flat headed screw driver or something then and pop them out, then just pull the back of it off. then pop the center piece out.

theres a thread on the site - Front Air vents Paint How to detailed

[Jonesy484]

cheers man just did it then now sitting on the front lawn with the first 2 coats of paint on them

[t1mm3hh]

no worries mate. what colour you doing them?

[Jonesy484]

Satin Silver, same as the rest of my dash, shifter knob, hand brake knob and eventually door handles, there will be photos up on my thread probs tomorrow when i put it back in the car

[GEN3RATD]

needs lowering.

[VX21]

Agreed, but exhaust first. Has to sound mean before looking mean

[t1mm3hh]

Yeah exhaust is definitely next. ill look into it in the next few weeks for sure.

[GEN3RATD]

i disagree, mean sounding is a V8. slam it on its tits.

[Mick1988]

Judging by the exhaust tip it's either a supercharge 6 or an 8??? Nice looking car you have there.

[VX21]

Haha fair call, but some of us aren't lucky enough to live in states where we can have 8's

Those tips came on the Calais 6 and spac 6 also, I'm fairly sure you could put them on any for some $$$ at the factory
