Shane's VT SS II 5.7ltr

[SSGEN-3]

A bit of an upgrade from the v6 vs toyota lexcen, I recently bought this series 2 vt ss with a 5.7ltr v8. A lot more power then the old car thats for sure! Sorry about the poor quality pics they were all taken on my mobile phone. Let me know what you think of it, or any future mods you suggest...

Model: VT SS Series 2.

Colour: White.

Engine: 5.7ltr Gen3 V8.

Engine Mods: Pacemaker extractors, ported throttle body, bigger cold air intake (ss inductions), k&n air filter, tune by csv.

Exhaust: Xforce twin 2.5" full stainless with chrome tips.

Gearbox: Stock.

Suspension: fe2.

Wheels/Tyres: 17" vt ss rims at the moment. I might put the 19" monaro cv8-r rims off my old car on it some time.

Interior: Stock ss, vy/vz ss floor mats.

Stereo: Alpine CD MP3 AAC head unit with iPod connector, aux in and usb input, pioneer front splits, pioneer 6x9's on the parcel shelf, 2x12" kicker competition subs, kicker monoblock amp powering the subs and a cadence amp powering the speakers

Other Mods: Monaro headlights and tail lights, vx boot garnish, tinted windows, strut brace, rear camber kit and alarm system.

Future Mods: Possibly lowered some more, high flow cats, OTR CAI (or mcai with 2 hole mod and gts pipe) and a mafless tune (the last tune was done before the extractors were put on the car and with a different exhaust on it). Possibly vy ss manifold and bigger throttle body.

nice car mate!! good choice. ditch that ss inductions crap and get an otr for starters. all the easy stuff is done for u already which is good. maybe chuck in some diff gears and tune it all up again like u said. Then u get into the expensive stuff ie cam, stallie an FI. good luck with it.

Thanks for the reply mate. Its good all the easy stuff has already been done so I can start saving for the more expensive mods straight away. I'll have to check out your ride thread to get some ideas for my car, looks like you've done a bit of work to your car.

Looking good mate. Glad to see you got a genIII as well!

How's the exhaust sound? You'll have to bring it round one day.
Cheers,

Thanks mate. The exhaust is pretty good, not too loud but has a nice note when you take off.

looks hot!!!

Thanks . Your car looks nice too, I like the colour. I was thinking of putting some vx ss badges on her, might make her look a bit nicer. Also to go with the vx boot garnish, rather then having the vt ss sticker on there.

Thanks mate. I was thinking of taking her down to fountain gate one night for the vic jc meet. See what you guys think of her.

Ok, so I need 2 new tyres for my 19's if I'm gonna put them on my car. But I want to get a tune soon to get some more power out of the girl. What do people think I should do first, spend a couple of hundred and get some good tyres for the 19's (not cheap chinese crap tyres!) or spend the money on a tune?
Also I was thinking of going for an otr cai and a mafless tune, but have been reading up on the mcai with the 2 hole mod. What would be the better way to go for the cai, and if I go the mcai is it still worth getting the mafless tune?

Go the tune man! Then once its tuned, no doubt you will chew threw a bit more rubber for a little bit, once you settle down again, then spend money on some tyres for your 19's

if ur gonna get a tune u may aswell get a OTR done at the same time mate. I thinkthe OTR alone is worth a good 10rwkws. These things chew threw tyres somthing shocking and u will be giving it a fair flogging after the tune, so i reckon get the tune frist. And ur looking at 300 a tyre for anything decent which really does suck.
