Yay my new car - new to the forum too

[RacheeBabe]

Ok well i thought i would add my 2 cents

Meet my VX
Getting lowered in 2 weeks!!!! so exited!

Anyone have any recommendations on insurance im paying 140 a month!!! Spose it is what you get for being a P plater.

Please don't be nasty

[rhysdalegend]

Looking good!, i like the rims, are those aftermarket brakes? or just red covers? cause they add some grunt to the car (:
cant wait to see the lowered product!
Nice work with the lights (Y)
Im not 100% sure with insurance but since i have a 'commodore, young male, p plate, im in the high risk category. So i have to pay heaps for insurance too ):

[Rusty]

May be cheaper to register in your folks name and have u as a registered driver! Maybe..... Worked well years ago!

Very tidy car! How much did u pick it up for and how many Km's if u dont mind me asking...

[vpcalais6]

Nice vx

Welcome to the forum

I'm paying $90 a month for my vp calais that's with nrma

[RacheeBabe]

Thanks everyone
I paid 8k for the car 178,000kms came with the lights, and painted callopers (wish they were real), exhaust, extractors etc etc (Friends car! comes with a personal mechanic lol he wants it kept in ace condition)
I will post lowered pics once it is done.

Got rims brand new 300 bucks off ebay pretty happy with them

[Rusty]

Very nice! Just a suggestion, maybe remove the black plastic strips along the doors. Car looks a lot cleaner then and you can do it for free!

Good pickup with the rims too!

[booders9]

Nice Car!
As for insurance, I have VX, and im paying 160 a month. its KILLING ME!

[Huntington]

Nice and neat mate, good job, but rip those black strips off when you lower it, will come up a treat, and insurance gets better guys, i pay 170 a month for all my insurances bar one, with racv for the VT, the VP ute,, the house and contents and a r6 The Eh is another story, shannons look after me on that one but are not cheap.

[RacheeBabe]

Thanks everyone - I am so exited cannot wait until it is lowered!!
Insurence is that farked its rediculas!! ass holes lol

Bit early for my hung over self to be up, dont remember much from last night! cheap drinks are bad lol

[minux]

Insurance is ****ed? Your a p plater driving around with a soon to be lowered vehicle, aftermarket wheels, exhaust etc, thats what you pay when you start to modify. Take it back to stock, wait until your off your p's then insurance will be nicer, you will also attract less popo action.

As for the car, 8k is very steep, your mate got a ripper deal selling at that price with those k's!!! As long as your happy though, all is good.

Hi Minux
Thanks for your reply, I got a quote if the car was stock and insurence is only 200 cheaper a year so no difference really, rather have it look nice lol and pay the extra 200. My mate is paying 80 bucks a month P plater on a V8 kingswood I really want to know how lol

I was happy with the price because i knew the car, I know the previous owner very well, he will service the car very cheap for me every time it is due for a service aswell as fix any problems with it if any arise (mechanic). It was very well taken care of which is the reason for buying it at the price i paid. There are many more factors but I am too lazy to type. haha

Thanks

[Adriianz]

nice car, good base to do more mods on but agreed 8k is really steep lol

[ZOMBIE]

Nice looking car you got, will look alot better lowered, what springs you getting?

As other have said, take the black strips off (check the How To Section).

Would look good with some tint too.

And yeah 8K is steep for those k's.


ZOMBIE

[LthlThrt]

if your parents are "rating 1 for life" with suncorp you get a massive discount 1200$ full comprehensive for a year.

[Grouse-mouse]

Get your parents to add you onto there insurance - that's how it becomes cheaper.

[VX21]

very nice mate...what i did for the first year is just had it under my fokes name only, i wasnt even on the insurance (which means a massive excess if the popo gets involved).
Now i have to go by myself, if u know family who lives in a different area try a quote there cause if they have lower crime and crash rates so its cheaper, mines registered at my dads place outside of warrnambool and it is $750 for just me on the insurance instead of 1500. But just be careful.

[RacheeBabe]

Thanks everyone Ill see what I can do with insurance
Car is getting lowered today Very exited

[liamvalente]

Yeah the price is a bit steep. I got my VT Executive Series 2- 2000 model for $6200. It has 17" alloys, Lukey 2 1/2" sports exhaust, 12" Kenwood Sub, 600W Kenwood Amplifier, and a aftermarket Pioneer Head Deck. It's also a 5sp manual with 134*** k's. But yes it is a nice first car!

[sxc_sound]

does this have white plates with pink letters saying rach1e or something? Pretty sure i have seen it around mentone heaps

[RacheeBabe]

I wish it had custom plates, I am from down torquay area so not me lol

And yes i love it i had an excel for my first year of my P's it did the job lol

[HERLUV]

Well Done RacheeBabe... cars looking good... how long until you get it lowered?
A few idea’s to put out there.... Remove the black strip (I know its already been said ) SS body kit (front bar, side skirts etc.) Remove the badging off the rear... and 2 times darker than legal tint... actually maybe just darkest legal, if insurance is a problem at the moment. Change the tips, dumper tips *shakes head* will look nicer with just standard double tips...
