Looks clean mate...
Your power figure will be the stock 147kw @ the fly with any luck...
The kit looks like a VX clubby kit to suit a vt.
Keep us posted

What sort of increase would the chip provide do you know? (Car is former NZ police car and they are chipped as stanard)
Also, does anyone know what sort of K&N filter i'd be looking for to go in her?
Another thing, i have no idea what sort of fuel i'm ment to be running in it....i've been putting 95 octane in but to be honest i have no idea weather it should be running on 91, 95 or 98. Can anyone enlighten me?
Cheers all.

Hey man

Nice car, you can run 91 in it, though some people like me and others will run a high octane fuel, because its cleaner etc, though 91 is fine for a N/A V6 commodore

How many k's it done mate ??

G'day HoldenMan7, it's done 145000 at present. When i was about to buy it i asked my mechanic if that was a little high. He said 145000 for a Subaru was starting to get on a little but because of the better build quality in Holdens and the damn bullet proof GM engines in them that 145000 was only just run in....so he sort of sold me on it.
On the fuel, i'm probably better off running 95 then by the sounds of it.
Thanks for the help.

Nice car mate. What do you mean chipped?? They may have remaped the fuel curve or something like that, but I don't think you will see much difference in power to be honest.

But a exhaust and filter on it to let your her breath a bit better.

Good luck with it all

The NZ police have the stock ECU chipped to produce more power....biggy back chip probably but from what i've been told it's an official Holden chip. Next thing to do is stick a K&N in her.

Anyone know how to change the time on the factory sterio? One of those Eurovox things. Wont be in the car long but i'd like to get the time currect on it all the same.

I didn't get a manual on how to do things with the car, is there any where i can down load one?
