    Default my red vx ss - update

    hey all

    ive done some upgrades to my car in recent months thought ide post up some new pix and info

    from the outside it dosnt look much different other than the 19" rims...most of the upgrades where done on the engine and stereo

    so far ive done:

    19" starcorp rims
    full exhaust - 4 into 1 headers, highflow cats, dual 3" all the way
    OTR cold air + tune
    3.9 diffs
    230rwkw on dyno

    as for the stereo its all alpine gear: 2 6x9's at rear, 2 components at front, the alpine 9887 deck, 4 channel + mono V-power amps and a 12" sub in box, all type-R speakers...sound quality is rather impressive

    next on the list is a tranny upgrade with stage 2 shift kit and later down the line a cam upgrade

    cheers

    Looks nice mate... don't mind the rims... could have gone 20's but still look good none the less.

    Whats the dual 3" sound like? Audio clip??

    Looks like you need to give it a good polish...
