you put the mic wayyyy to close to the canon man. although moving it away probably wouldn't make it sound any better.

But hey if thats what your after stick with it.

**scotty979** · 07-10-2009, 09:29 AM

the mic was almost 5 metres away lol

**CommVTS** · 07-10-2009, 09:30 AM

maybe it was windy

**FstStig** · 07-10-2009, 10:09 AM

Dude, here is a video clip of what my VT sounds like. I have just written it off so will be stripping it down soon,

That cost me $150 fitted.

**D-Man** · 07-10-2009, 11:10 AM

meh dont stress mate,

nice car looks clean in and out.

looking maybe to CAI or Pod maffless tune for the car?

i dont like the cannon, but it's not up to us to decide what you do with the car.

Welcome to the forum by the way!

and dont worry about benjaminmo... he's clearly a tool if he thinks he has the right to tell you what to put on your car.

**scotty979** · 08-10-2009, 07:56 AM

hey bud

thanks. yeah a mechanic sprayed them all for $80.00. but he did a shit job cuz can still see grey on parts but i dont care much. you also need special heat-proof paint u can get it at supercheap about $20.00 a can.

cheers

**wrx884** · 09-10-2009, 05:00 PM

Cars looking good man and i must say love the red always wanted a red 1 of these ay. Tho id have 2 agree on the canon but its wat u want so thats all that matters. Mayb some nice black deep dish 18's would look nice with the red 2? would set off the awsome dark tint.

**scotty979** · 09-10-2009, 08:01 PM

hey bro thanks yea i love the red too but it tends to fade like none other lol. yea i dont really like the look of the cannon just the sound. and i bought the car with the chromes and they are not my fav but id probly still wana stick with chromes but am thinkin of getn 20's either bonetti or d'vinci they have some crazy shit ay lol. i hate the back of my car lol how did the vt garnish turn out painted on urs? and how about the blue dash lights...am ova stupid green lol

cheers

**scotty979** · 13-10-2009, 02:31 PM

Somthing "BLACK" LOL haha

Yeah the garnish turned out awsome man provided u do all the prep work 1st that i mentioned in my thread it looks tops, plus it suits the curves of the car much better than the VX 1. Dont 4get tho if u still got the standard lights u'll need 2 sort out some reverse lights.

With the dash lights man r u lookin 2 do them urself? if not myself and Greg (pheddy, ASR sites sponser on here) make kits up 4 these but they rnt just the simple and cheap globe 4 LED swap over.

Main thing 2 remember prep is the key so 2 get it lookin like it was ment 2 b there and not just some plastic thats had some paint slapped on it u'll need 2 bog and sand a few things.

The main thing is the reverse lights, theres a distinct ridge and gap around where these r, they need 2 b filled with a putty knife and bog then sanded back smooth. Then around the outside of the garnish theres some indent lines in the plastic where holden have joined the front and back of the garnish 2gether, same thing applies bog and sand smooth. Some garnishes u cant see this untill they r in primer but the word holden in the garnish also has the words indented in the plastic some garnishes u cant see it but in time u'll get it so bog sand or shave that area till its smooth. Then wen ur happy spary on some primer and then the colour u want after it.
