My VY S II, first car :)

**revhead2011** · 17-07-2011, 04:48 PM

This is my first car, it’s a VY S series 2, completely stock when I bought it 7 months ago. I don’t plan on doing any performance mods because in my opinion I don’t see it being worth the money.. So, I went for slight cosmetic changes and a nice audio system

Let me know what you think.

MODS:
Performance/engine - 1:1.9 high ratio rockers, 2.5" redback (wanted a lukey) catback exhaust, in the process of building a custom air box to house a KN pod filter

Globes - changed globes to a white set because i hated the yellow glow
Springs - lowest legal, sits at about 105mm from the ground. Pedders Suspension.
Wheels - original SSz wheels (looking at getting refurbished, any good places?)
Audio:
Head Unit: Alpine CDA-117e
Front Splits: JL Audio C2-600
Rear 2ways: JL Audio C2-600x
Sub: Polk MOMO 12" DVC 4ohm
Amp: JL Audio XD7005 5ch 700Watts RMS
Sub Box: custom built and tuned to 35Hz
Sound Deadening: Front doors - Dynamat
Boot lid - Dynamat

Future mods:
Window tint, darkest legal
I would love a set of genuine VY SS headlights!
Possible foot well and boot lighting but not sure if I like the look

So, that’s my car. I love it and it suits my personality. If it were not for these P Plate laws it would be a V8

let me know what you think

Car looks good mate

I have the same one.
Liking the ride height. Which Pedders springs are they?

**Nic92** · 17-07-2011, 11:59 PM

nice tidy car mate

**revhead2011** · 26-07-2011, 06:50 PM

not sure of the exact type of spring. all i know is that they are pedders sports rider springs. i asked for them to lower it to lowest legal while keeping the ride hight straight (not ass down front in the air like some of the cars i have see around) and it turned out great! really happy with it though i need shorter shocks because atm the ride is really hard, so when these shocks die im going back to pedders for a set of shorter shocks.
thanks!

thanks!

it sits about same hieght as mine, my ride isnt soft

but the ppl that did my shocks was where i get my car serviced and they put in Boge Turbo shortened shocks and struts and over bumps and that is real hard, i think they put cheap arss shocks in >.<

not sure of the exact spring type, all i know is that they are pedders sports rider springs. i just asked them to drop it to lowest legal while keeping a flat even ride hight (none of this ass down face up look that i see way to often) really happy with it though i need to invest in some shorter shocks when my stock ones die because the ride can get very bumpy haha.
thanks

Double post sorry. I have never heard of those brand socks before but I have never owned after market socks so I can't say if they are gods or not. I can't remember the brand names that have been suggested to me.

**Nic92** · 07-08-2011, 11:51 PM

lol socks ^

**revhead2011** · 08-08-2011, 12:01 AM

Lol just noticed that haha. Its this new phone, samsung galaxy s2. It has this swype key pad which is a b@#ch to use when trying to do other things at the same time. I meant to say SHOCKS hahaha.

**Nic92** · 08-08-2011, 12:03 AM

**revhead2011** · 08-08-2011, 12:06 AM

ok, so i have been doing some shopping. 2.5" lukey cat back exhaust arriving soon in the mail

and 1.9:1 roller rockers on there way thanks to a generous mate of mine

will all be installed this weekend

**revhead2011** · 12-09-2011, 06:59 PM

rocker are in.
long story short i got screwed around with chasing a lukey catback, so had to settle for a redback catback. sounds ok but i have heard that lukey's sound nicer, deeper.
mocking up a custom air box (aluminium) to house a KN pd filter

**revhead2011** · 18-03-2012, 11:41 AM
