Arrow FRESH PICS MMMMM smell the freshness

Model: VZ SV6
Year April 2005
Colour Phantom Mica
Transmission: Aisin 6 Spd Manual
Engine Alloytec 190 3.6L
Exhaust: 2.5 S/S Catback
ECU: Stock
Airbox: Stock


Havent really invested much in aftermarket gear since i bought the car this time last year, Have been to Europe for a while so my cash has been tied up elsewhere. Now that im back, its time to get this thing happening.

All that it has got and i have done to it since i bought it:

Debadged bar Lions and 190 badges
Tinted windows
Powdercoated Gloss Black Stock Five Spokes
Lowered all round 1.5 Inch Lowered Lovells and Shockies to match
6.2 inch Vision Roof Mounted LCD Screen
All Entertainment Multimedia Player with Xbox/PS2 Outlets
Kenwood 7 inch Double Din Screen, 800w Kenwood Amp, Kenwood 6X9 5 ways, 6.5" Alpine Splits
Catback exhaust- SS D and T muffler and ressie

TO DO LIST
[a piggyback memcal for my ecu.
Cold Air Intake is definately on the agenda, i just cant justify around 600 bones on a SS induction kit at the moment. When i ge the CAI i will definately want to tune it for the additional air intake to maximize my power gains.

At this stage they are most realistic and important mods to me, so i wont go on about all the cool things i wish i could bolt on.

thanks guys for the positive feedback, rim colour is a personal thing, i think the black makes it look alot more individual than the stock sv6's and i reckon it looks tougher. Thanks again.

i definately agree on changing the rims (lots of people here would) - but its a personal preferance as to how to change them. Very nice car, It'll fly once you work it!

Wow that car looks mean. Well done. Now how does those 190Alloytecs go? Just I have heard reviews saying that those engines are over rated. Is this true?

i dont know if they are over rated what are said about them? Id say theyare pretty good, the best v6 ive seen from Holden. i got the 6 spd, so i cant comment on the auto and the 190, but im very happy with the purchase considering i do alot of intrastate driving eg fishing trips, downhill hauling sport gear and my mates etc. Id say they shit on the previous v6s ive had a vr v6, vt v6 and vr 5L, id say they are alot better than those.

Yum! I was looking at buying an SV6 before I decided to do mine up.. I like the black rims hey, makes it extremely unique. Well done! What wheels are you sticking with? You got pursuits and some VY S wheels on it too, heh
