My New Ride - 2005 VZ SV6 190 Alloytec 6spd

[gdunkley84]

Got my new ride about a month ago. Went looking for a small city commuter and come home with this.

2005 VZ SV6

• 6 Speed Manual
• Alloytec 190
• 6 Stacker - Blaupunkt upgrade sound system
• Sunroof
• Leather
• 18" HBD "J" Series Wheels
• LSD
• Tinted 20%

Since installed

• New gear knob (old one started cracking)
• New Stereo
  • Alpine CDA-9886
  • Alpine PDX 4.150
  • Alpine PDX 1.600
  • 2x Alpine Type-R Subs
  • Focal F165KP Splits up front
  • Hertz 6" Coaxials in the rear doors

Pretty happy so far.

Would like to do but $$$$$ are limited.

• Exhaust
• Lower slightly
• HSV Headlights
• HSV Cluster (3 Window)
• Better clutch
• Tune

Love the leather. Mind if I ask how much you forked out? Got any plans for either visual or performance?

Cost me around $22K

Don't know about performance mods yet. $$$$$ holding me back a bit. Stereo chewed up this years bonus. I like the way it looks atm, but may get it lowered a bit.

Gonna do that two hole mod on the airbox over next weekend. And folks are gonna chip in and have the tint done for christmas.

I tried getting a short shifter for it but they don't make them for these gearboxes yet. I changed the knob though and it sits about 15mm lower than normal. Might have to rip it out and get the stock one machined down one day.

Awesome buy, mate
That would get hot in the summer, wat % of tints are u thinking of? & where did u get the new gear knob?, that looks like a HSV.

You'll love the 6 spd manual box!

Yes it gets hot already, can't wait for a 40 degree day. A place just up the road from me does a nice 20% tint.

The gear knob in the photo is the original one. It has all the silver bits because it was HBD.

Yes, I love the 6speed. Coming from an auto for 6 years it was a bit of an adjustment, but now I can bang through the gears pretty good.

Looking great man, will like very very nice with a tint! I paid about 22k for mine as well.
