    Default L67 vx

    hey everyone. ive been on this forums for a while and havent posted anything about my car yet. so i thought why not

    model - vx s

    built - 2001

    colour - silver

    engine - 3.8L supercharged

    engine mods - 12psi pulley, k&n air intake, 69mm throttle body, maf relocator and 4 inch intake pipe with heat shield over pacemakers

    km - more than enough lol

    power - hasnt been on a dyno yet

    trans - 4l60e with stage 1 shift kit

    diff - 3.08 ratio non lsd

    fuel system - in tank bosch 040 i think

    exhaust - pacemakers 1 3/4, hi flow race cats, 3inch pipe with a straight through berklee muffler

    brakes - standard

    suspension - super lows front and rear, nolathane sway bar links, castor rod bushes and adjustable camber kit.

    rims - 15" pursuits currently or 16" vx s rims

    interior - standard

    sound system - alpine tweeters, alpine splits, schnieder amp and sony xplod 12" sub

    mods to come - boot and bonnet debaged, holes welded and painted, spoiler holes to be welded and painted, from the windows up to be painted black, a2a intercooler, 17psi, bigger injectors, rollmaster double row timing chain, hot cam, valve springs and retainers or a 4.2l come stroker and last but not least a tune using kalmaker software.


    well currently my car has been defected as my exhaust was sitting 50mm above the ground. so fe2's are back in so is my spoiler and ive swapped my tinted indicators and tail lights with "benjamino" for the moment to pass.

    only got one photo of the car at the moment. ill get some more photos soon as i work pretty intense shifts and usually by the time i get home the lights are gone and there is no point in taking photos

    looks good mate, sorry to hear about the defect, the rims look a bit dark for the car though, are you going to get the clear side indicators as well? i just noticed hat you are on your p's, how did u manage to get a supercharged engine on your p's.

    hey mate your car looks tuff silver on black just not sure about the side indicators.

    How's does it run on 12psi? I was told not to go under 10psi when the cars stock and un-intercooled. But I wouldn't mind going to 12psi on mine, I prettty much got the same mod's

    cheers mate yeah there painted gloss black. i smoked themm indicators but then i regretted it right after. im going to get clear indicators and normal tail lights with calais garnish as soon as this sticker comes off. i dont think theres any law in place in wa yet as to owning a turbo or a supercharged under p's.

    thanks alot ducker. yeah i acted on impulse doing the indicators after i bought a can of night shade. but now i regret it. dont you worry itll be back to the clear ones after my defect is off. yeah car runs pretty good on 12psi no detonation or signs of my motor giving way. its pretty responsive. but the other night i went for a cruise with my mate benjamino who has a vx ss with a turbo. no where close to the torque or speed he had o.O

    dropped my car again today and went to change my lights back with benjamino. some reason the car is looking lower than ever. but oh well hopefully no more defects this time. still dont have time to take any decent photos. this weather in perth is really shocking atm.

    got my hand on a vx calais rear garnish. once i get it ill put it on and send my car off the the panel beaters to get the spoiler, boot and bonnet holes welded and re-painted then while its there im going to get the top half of my car painted in black. from the bottom of the windows up that is. not sure if i just want a normal gloss black or a black with a pearl or flake through it... but when its done it should be good i cant wait
