More power for Sv6 on Ps (Vic laws)

[greekgod]

Hi guys, dont know if this has been asked before but I was wondering I just bought a vz sv6 and wanted to know if there is there anyway to increase power in a sv6 legally when you are on your p plates?


thanks

Mace spacers
Exhaust
tune ?

theres a few

Have a search around on this site , there's a few threads already coving all this

cant do anything to enhance the power of the engine!

i got done for having ss induction and extractors when i was on my p's

[soop]

Exactly, you can't make performance modifications.

Swaybars and bushes are your best bet.

[ashbox]

save ya $$$ and when your off ya p's, go buy a v8

[.FOREVER SIDEWAYZ.]

you can make performance upgrades but make ones that aren't in your face so the cops can't see them ,
they arent gonna strip the engine or move anything around to see what's done

[soop]

What can you do to an alloytech that is worthwhile and not obvious?

I'd say use fire, But that's pretty obvious...

[soop]

HAhaha. Watch it. The V6hero's club will get ya. They'll be doing peggers up and down your street all night. You'll get 30min breaks as they let the radiator stop whistling before the next two laps. But still, the sound of a thrashed v6 pegging up and down your road with a flappy cap moron glareing at you will get annoying after a while...

[richardpalinkas]

lol at soop.

i guess on the other hand, if you did want to do 'performance things' that arnt in your face is a 2 hole mod to the airbox or hsv airbox, catback, extractors, manifold spacers and a tune. i guess the only thing they would be able to see would be extractors, but heat sheilds can hide them. for more poke, get some dif gears as well

[soop]

They'll ping him straight away with the sound.

An they cant hear an exhaust?

[richardpalinkas]

have a rear muffler on, or just stick with a hsv exhaust, they are meant to be fairly quiet. just get a tune, probably one of the mods that are worth the money for power for the alloytec anyways, even though power out of an sv6 is quite expensive, and as the v8 boys will say, not worth it

[ashbox]

i went from an sv6 to an 8 so.......
its true, the money isn't worth it on the alloytec unless your charging it.....and then, he can't do it

None of these are legal for Vic P platers.

So because they are not obvious that makes it legal?? The stupidity on this forum is never ending

Tune = immediate EPA problems + also not legal for P plates.

if im not wrong, your are only allowed one performance mod to the car, as long as its done corectly.
lets say you put a pod filter for instance, then it has to be fixed to somthing where it cant move around for it to be legal.

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

iv got the alloytech on my p plates, iv got a K&N pod, pacemaker extractors and a 2 1/4 exhaust that sounds decent when you dont floor it and very quit while ideling. never been pulled over for noise.
these little mods help with power when u take off.

[soop]

No, they really dont. But you paid money for them so the little man in your head is telling you they do.

Gotta love it when newbs pay $100 for a freaking air filter...

Lets see how your insurance company sees things when you slide into the car in front driving a car your license does not permit. I'm not sure that "it idles quietly" will help on that one.

no body would ever know a tune has been done though, even on a bog standard alloytec. i highly doubt that the police will check to see if the ecu has been reflashed, or even have the knowledge of how to access it. if you are seriously worried about what police will find or not, dont do anything or dont ask. but in my opinion if you are that worried, but want something no one will pick up, a tune, and leave it at that. btw, this thread is pointless if you are worried what mr popo will say, or legalities of it. mafless tuning is completely illegal, but you see no one busting a nut at the boys who do them, instead everyone highly recommends it.

is there anyway to increase power in a sv6 legally when you are on your p plates?


thanks

Considering the law states that you cant do any performance increasing modifications, then how the hell do you hope to find a way to legally increase power???


You could always paint your engine cover in heat proof paint, this stops heat from the sun getting through the bonnet and increasing heatsoak. Ask BigDaddtCool. Her recommends it!

[SirNemesis]

Reducing weight increases perceived power. Go on a diet, that's legal.

[HamaTime™]

I'm sick of this.

The law says, No Performance Enhancing Modifications. Is that any plainer.

If you want more power, it's not legal on your P Plates.

No, they really dont. But you paid money for them so the little man in your head is telling you they do.

Bud, the funniest thing is that people think that an exposed Pod Filter is a performance enhancing modification

Dollars spent on a car do not always = power to all you noobs, it's like trying to take Viagra to get rid of your cold, got to buy the right shit to get results.

Life lesson right there, write it on your lunchboxes!
