    Default Nevin's Hothouse VY Spac

    Hi,

    This is my 2003 VY S pack commie. I bought it completely stock November last year. Since then I have put a set of 20" Status Judge wheels raped in Nankang 245/30/R20 tyres. I have also swaped out the stock head unit for a JVC double din DVD head unit, also have a JVC 600w amp and 2 x 12" Pioneer 800w subs. Removed the V6 badges from under the indercators and the holden badge from the boot. I put some fog lights in and put a mesh in under where the number plate is.

    Future Mods are a dual 2 1/2" exhaust and new extractors, K&N panel fillter, 70mm trottle body, Painting the dash hothouse green, and new taillights.

    Hope you like my car, if you have any advice or ideas im all ears as I am pretty new to car modification.

    Looks good mate. Dual 2.5" is way overkill. Go a single 2.5 or twin 2.25 at most.

    Is that cause it a V6? what about a single 3? i was thinking to go dual so it can stay seperate till pretty close to the end.

    single 3" is still overkill, unless you plan on getting a bigger cam or supercharging it. Stick with a 2.5" single system or you will loose power.
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Thanks for the heads up. I would love to lower it bout 30mm but i need to get my guards rolled and most probably pumped a little too because it alredy rubs on the tyre when going over bumps. Was thinking bout losing the spoiler to? might make it seem lower?

    Having a dual 2.5" or single 3" you'll lose a lot of back pressure. hence u will have alot of droning.

    Awesome car mate

    Would look great if you had that done. At least lower it to that height. Looks tops sitting like that.

    My car got backed into..... this is so gay, not cause of the money or having to not have it for a little while while it gets fixed but because now i have to drive around with it looking like this. and having P plates people automaticaly assume it was my fault. I know cause thats what i do lol.... anyway here's some pics of it and a few others that i took before it happened.
