    Well I started with a VCM Suite Tune, improved it all around. It finally launched properley, and can give other cars a run for their money.

    Still haven't gotten around to the exhaust, mainly because ive ordered a CSV8/ Holden R8 .

    But first id go with the Tune, improved my fuel economy as well.

    depends on the state ur in and what lvl pplates as in qld if u are on the pplate rules u can drive a sv6 but u cant mod an sv6 as once u pop the car over that 200kw at fly mark it becomes illegal for u to drive,

    so CAI, exhaust and tune will make u have like 240kw ATM and if the cops wanna get ya its not just a fine as they then have to prove it which is costly,

    but yeah welcome to the sv6 clan u will love it, and yeah 20s, two hole mod, and change the rear muffler wont make u to obvious to be cracking the 200kw mark(QLD only)

    Yeah mate I'm getting new rims in the next few weeks and looking at either 18"'s or 19"s; Don't give the cops a reason to defect you.

    And as for the performance mods I haven't touched mine, I figure as soon as I do something i'll get pulled over and screwed over.

    Cant be defected for 20's if you do it right and get correct tyres etc.. depending on state of course..

    But 20's will make them look at you, by the sounds of it you want power and if you intend on using that power then you are only goin to attract attention anyways...

    I have had my 20's for 6 months havent been pulled over once. its not ridiculously low, its now loud and I dont drive like a d!ckhead.

    240kw?

    More like 210kw. 220kw being the max but still unlikely.

    still would be noticable to a cop who has little motor knowledge, most people know CAI and cat back will add 10kw at motor pending on the car and u add extractors will give u atleast 15kw at motor,

    but in qld i know that if the cops want to proove u have more then legal power they will take ur car to a mechanic take the motor out and dyno the motor and if ur car has over the power regulations u will have to pay the fine and then also pay the mechincs bill on top of that

    hmmmmmmmmmmmm im not from Queensland, but this sounds like bullcrap. if they think you have to much power they defect you, then you have to prove you don't. none of this guessing shit that could cost tax payers $600 every time the cops are wrong.

    ether way it involves getting the motor dyno AT THE FLYWHEEL, havent actually had anyone had it done, as alot of the p platers up here still want there silvias and skylines or have cars with less than 177kw from standard

    BS, cops are not going to get your motor pulled out for a dyno readout. Ive never heard of that happening. I guess they could make you put it on a chassis dyno and get the estimated flywheel figure from there but even then ive never heard of that happening. If you just do the tune and get a exhaust that isnt really loud you will not have a problem. You should see about 200-220kw at the flywheel with those mods.

    Well u can go about this two ways. Be a sleeper and mod it but leave it looking totally stock forget about the rims waste of money when did 20in rims ever make u go faster? Just get wider rims for traction. And don't put some fart cannon muffler on it that makes everyman and his dog look at you trying to be a cool ****. Or go put a VZ SS body kit on it lights and all and that's 250Kw right there.

    lol he has an SV6 which already has a ss kit on it.
    if u want just change the rear muffler for a bit more sound, and then two hole mod it and do the 20s and just be happy with it.

    good luck keep us updated

    Well yes and no. Rear tail lights arn't tinted on the SV6 as the SS are. Front head lights are std not blacked out with the two line parkers which look awesome. Also no side flutes and the spoiler is different on an SS it is larger. And the rims also different. So basically no he doesn't have an SS kit i could spot a SV6 a mile away.

    i know u could spot it i can spot it to but the body kits are the same, headlights taillights and rear wings and side flutes arent included in body kits.

    pretty sure if u goto a body shop and get an SS kit on an exec u will come with with front bar side skirts and rear bar and if u was lucky they might add the rear wing in there aswell
