    Default My new "family car" VX II SS

    Well i had to sell a few of my babys,
    before the american muscle cars i had tuners, last car i had was a 2002 ADM Spec R 200sx with 350rwkw with scissor doors (heres a piccy)
    My new "family car" VX II SS-100_0836.jpgMy new "family car" VX II SS-100_0846.jpg

    Then I bought a 2010 model SS Ute, was new and black and nice. Then got told we are having another kid, so since the wife's mazda 2 cant fit 2 cartons in the back let alone 2 baby capsules, i bought a big family car.
    Downgraded slightly, however means i was able to free up some dosh and i can do this car up slowly.

    Car was in really really good nic, k's were a little higher then what i wanted, however for the age its pretty good (150k).
    Interior is immaculate, however i will be doing leather soon anyway.
    Current mods are as follows:

    Performance:
    X-force 2.5" Cat back
    Lukey Extractors
    RAMJET OTR CAI - 22/08/11
    Mafless Tune - 22/08/11

    Interior:

    Blue and white LED's instrument cluster - 8/9/11
    White & Blue LED dash upgrade - 8/9/11
    Red LED footwells (on LED switch) - 8/9/11
    El Glow dials - white (OM Nom nom) 26/09/11

    ICE:
    JVC KD-r626

    Kicker ix252 2 channel amp
    Blapunkt 6x9's.

    Cadence Z1000 mono block - 8/9/11
    Esclipse 6210 12" sub - 8/9/11

    Cadence Q2000 2 2channel amp
    JL VR comp 6.5 Splits


    SOUND SYSTEM LINK:
    My Custom sound system install - VX [+ how to +]

    El GLOW LINK:
    How to install El-glow dials. + pics




    Future plans:


    I will be putting in leather interior, red and black (om nom nom)
    Will be doing a carbon fibre bonnet + scoop (for super charger)

    Performance mod plans:
    Stage 1: GT shocks + springs (lows only), removal of spare tyre - half done
    Stage 2: OTR + Maffless tune and throttle body (85mm) - DONE
    Stage 3: Cam upgrade + brake upgrade
    Stage 4: T56 gear box + port and polish
    Stage 5: Super charger (undecided on type yet, see where my figures are after upgrades).

    Anyway heres some piccys of my new toy, will get interior and engine bay pics tomorrow.

    Well a tad of an update, I have just bought an OTR CAI and booked in for a maffless tune.

    I have also purchased a HSV 6 speed gear knob + retrimmed boot gaiter for it (got it for a budgee - as in cheap) - was an all in 1 package so its just a swap'n'go and its red double stitched to match my soon to be upgraded interior.

    Annnnd i bought some red led bling for the leg areas .

    Going to buy a JVC deck + slot next week some time, was going to mod the original deck but meh.. this deck has aux in x 2 and a usb port..

    Im still on stock suspension and a 2 1/2' exhaust, i should be ok. I have had lots of sports cars and never attracted attention, even when my S14 had straigh racing pipe on a 3" system. was loud as a mofo when you boosted. But im generally good on the roads.

    redid the bulbs over the last few days to blue and white LED's - will get pics up when i have put it all back together.
    ALso put in a new head deck, retrimmed the boot for custom sub install, installled my old mono block and sub.

    Tomorrow hopefully i get my PCM back and will finish up the boot.

    RE-Re trimmed the back, didnt like the way it turned out. I removed the tire from the boot and made a custom box for the amps. Black perspex over the top and then doing a side mounted sub (driverrr side tail light).
    Got my PCM back finially, and the MAFFLESS tune + OTR CAI gives it more torque and a bit more grunt. Still doesnt have that o-shit factor so guess ill have to get it to push more fuel in now instead of just relying on air upgrades.

    Also starting working on the red LED's for the feet wells.. doing a dis-block with 2 switches mounted near the power window buttons.. its a red LED switch too.. woot lol

    Ill get pics up soon, the upgraded LED's (blue and white combo) look great.. plus my new headdeck tops it all off.

    Wow that looks great. I'm trying to convince the missus to let me get a VXSS, so far she hasn't said no.
