future mods: 2.5inch cat back, ssl rear and sl front,, darker tint, possibly a near new L67 if i can find one or will look into a new one and stage 2 shift kit when im off p's

what was the ride like with the ultra lows? i have sl in the front now and i wana go lower in the back end..

[james91]

well i had the fe2 shocks in still and it was a bit bouncy with 3 adults in the back at speed when u hit a bump on high way. with 2 ppl i could throw it sideways and put it flat and get a bit of slide just needed more power to hold it threw and a lsd

[james91]

bit of a update. got the clarion dvd player installed. 4500k H1 and H4 bulbs and blue parkers. trying to find out how to upload pics

looks good mate, but i'd take the p-plates outta the windows ay ... i copped a $197 fine and lost 2 points ... not fun. just a heads up

[james91]

i need to have them up, December next year i get my opens so will then

[1SIKR8]

lol just get p-plate holders man next to your number plate .... beats copping a narly ass fine

[james91]

mmmm ok. i got pulled up for not having them up and they said to put them up so i put them right were they are in that pic (bottom drivers side on back window and bottom passengers side on front) and they said it was fine and let me off. this is in QLD and i noticed ur in NSW maybe different rules

[1SIKR8]

... if they are im so jealous / pissed off haha you lucky bastards !!!

matge in qld we are aloud to have them in the windows different to nsw

[mattgreen]

they prefer it in the window up here. cant get stolen etc

[habs420]

Very clean, nice one, mate.
done a good job with the manifold!

[james91]

still yet to give it a wet and dry sand then get some metal polish on it, i'll do it when i got spare time next and upload pics. still need to get a tune done. got a gear box service then i'll do some more mods to it

[mattgreen]

wouldnt realy bother with a tune mate. id just leave the engine stock and upgrade when the time comes. love the car tho

[james91]

eh it needs it just a stock retune. engine is miss firing so hopefully that'll fit it. got quoted 145 plus spark plugs so i'll do that next week

[VX21]

looks good mate, does the ss induction make much of a difference?

[james91]

thanks VX21 yeah i find it does at higher revs. it would be worth putting the K&N pannel filter in there about 110ish at autobarn/supercheap and see how that goes if you got stock intake

[james91]

polished the intake today. did the door card inserts in red

sorry guys pics failed. made a photobucket and put the html code in but didnt show up. anyone know how to add more?

here is link to my photo bucket http://s752.photobucket.com/albums/x...t=Image007.jpg

[VX21]

yer mate id probs go with SS induction if anything or maybe even try do it myself, i just fixed my stock CAI cause i blew it up haha

[james91]

try the 2 hole mod few guys on here have done it. im not keen on doing it but i guess it works according to the guys that have done it

[VX21]

yer im looking at doing some extensive engine mods at the moment from mace engineering so ill probs end up getting one of their or simular CAI's

[james91]

ah ok cool i have mace engineering in mind for a few things.

bit of a update rear shocks are screwed so i'll get new one next week once jetski rego is paid. possibly getting vx ss rims off a mate for $300 with 90% tread if someone buys mine ($500 ono if anyone is keen comes with spare)

[VX21]

nice, what are you looking at doing, im gonna do CAI, throttle body and shift kit in the next week hopefully.

my rear shocks are completely f*&^ed, ill eventually get around to them.
chuck em up on ebay, i sold my VX lumina s1 (which are the same as VT S series 2) mags for $400 with 2 roughly 75% tread.

[lildavo]

hey what gritt did you go to on your plenium top? i done mine abit but not as good as yours im only at 1200 gritt

[james91]

VX21 pretty keen on those spacers one the intake for now. yeah mine have been screwed for ages but im driving 6hrs north towing the jetski in 3 weeks so i will have to get some new ones to play it safe

liildave i used 400, 800, 1200 in wet and dry. i got some 1500 i have not used yet but i finished off with a matel polish by mothers
