haha crazy... wont be long and everything we do to our cars will be illegal. the joys of living in the police state lol

haha ive seen them used before heaps. i know this thread sorta ended a while back, but just wanted to warn people to stay away from the badlandz ebay cutouts. my mate chucked them on his au and after 3weeks he got them taken off. suprise was, the whole butterfly valve had warped and wasnt...

true. i just got sucked in by the novelty of it lol. would be so much fun when a ricer or some**** box pulls up and starts revving...then you open the cutouts and watch them flee hahah. im thinkin of having another exhaust line installed as a straight thru maybe, controlled by cutouts. but this...

true didnt read the date line before posting. my bad sorry

haha gets a bit like that. uve got some really awesome ideas man, hope it all works out for ya and cant wait to see the finished result. got anything planned engine-wise?

thanks mate, yeah it does from what i remember its 5screws and it pops off. it sticks out a bit on one side just under the light, but i think thats cos the guy had it stacked wrong and bent it :S

sounds sweet lol. i took my cat back off and the exhaust sounds like a v8 with straight throught pipes no mufflers. pretty loud made the neighbours want to kill me especially when i went thrashing around the nieghbourhood lol. =) fun

me 2 boot install looks awesome so far man. keep the pics coming!

what about the vx ss kit on urs with black headlights, looks really tough, specially when its lowered. as for the interior you can do stuff like paint the dash fascia and the vents, change the trim, so many. look at CHEETR if you want more ideas. hes made up one mean interior lol.

lmfao. you win =]

i think vic laws fall into that "ridiculously harsher" category lol

that seems really plausible mate.. the only problem is even after the cat im pretty sure the exhaust decibels wont pass epa when you open up the valve. therefore putting you in the bad books with the police. this is so confusing lol i wish there was an easy way to find out for sure, but sadly i...

lmao definitely im with you mate. suprised the mag didnt ask for dyno sheet cos i would when someones making those claims! load of bull**** or one bad typo lol.

how do we find out if they're legal for sure? cos if they are ill be over the moon and back again lol. 1991_Vn2nV - ive got no idea. if they do then that could be an argument allowing us to run them? Not_An_Abba_Fan - have you had any issues with yours with policemen? Dan355 - im stoked to...

vp custom massive power bro here it is guys in all its glory :P

how much for the rocker covers and engine cover if you got it? cheers kristian

how loud is it??? cos these ones are before the cat. which exhaust setup are you running?

lmao i thought i would be the only one to pick up he's topless and fat ewwwwwwww. one image i wanna lose haha

=[ no fun haha. not worth the risk it seems. my mate was running his beaten up patrol without an exhaust at all was so loud he got pulled over for speeding and that was it. i guess its the luck of the draw whether u get a policeman who's out to get you or one who's more understanding. maybe...

yeah thats a good way to put it. doubt they would allow it on imports if they're not gonna allow it on our cars. wonder what the consequences would be of having such a mod; im guessing it'll start with a canary and then some fines? if anyones interested i found it on ebay...

tell me bout it mate. i almost creamed thinking i could get that power. wanted to email to the mag and see whats the deal. its in ******commodores issue 132 (dec) on page 146. i might scan it for u guys to check out.

well would be a good idea, they've noted some decent gains with such a cheap mod especially on boosted engines. they reckon 30hp at the wheels on a wrx. not sure bout our humble commo's tho, since this product is american :(

stick with the k&n panel filter. i tried the pody setup but like 1991_Vn2nV said they suck in hot air and the power doesnt or hardly changes. one of those in the CAI box could be the way to go

does sound a bit strange doesnt it mate. definetely said at the wheels. but could he be confused with fly? wish it was that easy to make power haha

awesome vx gotta love the ss bodykit. clubby kit is too popular atm love the altezza lights and the white wall tyres. really tasteful mods mate :) keep up the great work.

the C2R kit looks mint in blue. saw one on a white car and just looked rice. didnt help that that one wasnt installed properly. love the headlights man, ****in awesome. and ur tail-lights im thinkin of chuckin a set of those on mine. good work mate keep it up.

i just read in a commodore magazine about "tt terror". its a light blue vp v6. the owner put two 70mm throttle bodies on the engine, extractors and 3inch exhaust. running a custom chip and tune he claims the mods have sent the power at the wheels to 187kw. is this possible, and seems to me if u...

hey mate nice looking vx, congrats on the door moulds uve done an awesome job. like u said looks factory. checked out those xhp shift rims they look pretty good, decent dish on them :). best of luck with ur future mods mate.

very clean car mate, look foward to hearing what mods u got in mind.

yeahh that makes sense. ill have to check out the laws in vic about the cutouts and see what they say.

cheers for ur replies guys, yeah thats definetely true it would be illegal. i think tho if you run the valve closed, ur exhaust would be through the normal system and then legal??? ive seen the vids on youtube, like the blue vt clubby, but ive tried searching for suppliers in aus with not much...

does anyone know about these electric exhaust cutouts? like who makes them here and how much they cost?? heard they're for drag races but seems like a fun mod to do to a street car. any ideas?? QTP ONLINE cheers kristian

ve rims the rims look minttt man. love em haha. i wanna put the supersports on mine!. really awesome choice of wheel man well done... like the tinted lights, but i reckon you should spray the garnish raven and chuck a set of black gto lights on there! just a thought haha. even raven garnish...

yeah too many to mention haha. im working on a boot install, type-r 12" sub, 2 JL amps. im almost finished gotta carpet it. im planning to do some engine work soon and get a set of rims. the stock look is killing me haha. thats about it for what my money will get me :( sadly. cheers for the comment!

sorry to jump in on the tread so late, but i think this might interest you guys, i read a diy of sorts article about the mace twin tb's on a vx worth around $1300. the setup uses two 69mm throttle bodies. they said the throttle position sensor and idle air control valve needs adjusting, and of...

cheers excalibur and anth. yeah good point anth been wanting to tint it for ages lol, but just havent got around to it...and as for the rims i was thinkin of lucky sparks... what u reckon?

SS Headlights finally able to finish the front end off! got vx ss lights for 100 each i wasnt 100% happy cos the black lights look strange against the blue... to me not as tough as the phantom black vx ss... tell me what u guys think! and whether ve supersports will look good on my s...

awesome s-pack! gotta love 'em haha interesting list of mods man, good luck with them! pace's are a good idea, and look into intake mods...im hooked on more power lol. as for ur exhaust man, go a lukey, they really to growl haha. take it easy mate, cheers kristian

haha yeah no worries mate...always good to see what i screw up lol. atm im building a custom install for my boot, cant wait to finish it. i reckon the ss bar looks mean, and it isnt as popular as the clubby in upgrades. love ur car man, very clean =P. do u have that camber problem in ur rear...

andd monaro tail lights :P picked up some monaro tail lights, and after 3weeks of trying to get the wiring loom i finally fitted them i sprayed the original vt garnish in raven to match the car. anyway enough talk, heres the pics: before and after hope u guys like it. not a...
