IMO....Nope, Leave it Standard

Its a shame you dont like the V8s...Its a 3.2 V6 and i dont think the "big Boys" will be too concerned even if you did put a blower on...

Each to there own i guess but id save ya coin..:beer chug:

Seems like the perfect thread for this beauty :p


Ok - the complete P plate FAQ

Q. How do I make my eco/alloytec sound like a V8?
A. You can't. Get a V8

Q. How do I legally get more power out of my eco/alloytc
A. You can't

Q. I just got busted trying to break the land speed record down the M1. The police got the time 15min wrong on the ticket - can I get out of it?
A. No

Q. Why not?
A. Coz you are a douche

Q. Does metallic blue/green/red look good on the silver bits of my VT interior?
A. No

Q. I'm modding my Eco/Alloytech to be different
A. No probs - just like all the rest who mod their Eco/Alloytech

Q. Where can I get suspension that will give me a nice ride, handle great, not scrape speed bumps and still be dumpt to the weeds?
A. Unicorn's mythical speed shop

Q. If I fill my eco with wood will it go faster?
A. Some say it will

Q. I've pumped $17k into my stroked L67 but my mates cammed LS1 that cost about 1/3 was just as quick
A. Well you wanted to be different....

Q. I pulled off some of my mufflers/resonators and got done because my car is too loud. How to I make it quiet enough so the police won't notice but loud enough that everybody else will?
A. Unicorn's mythical speed shop

Q. How do I get a 12 second 1/4 mile but I still want good fuel economy coz I'm only a 2nd year
A. Go buy a VP V6 Commodore - fastest thing on wheels as long as it has a P plate showing

Q. My stock as a rock VP V6 used to beat everything on the road but now it's not even close. Why?
A. Your P plate fell down

Q. Why is my V6 VN sooo much faster than every other car on the road? I think it used to be an Ex Police general duties patrol car
A. Cop chip.

Q. How many more rwkw will I get from doing the bellmouth mod on my VN?
A. More than you could ever imagine. Matter of fact you just gained 15rwkw by just thinking about it

Q. So I came around a corner at somewhere between the speed of sound and light but somebody had left ice and oil over the road and I skidded off into the gutter. Clearly it wasn't my fault but now the wheels are all bent and pointing at crazy angles. Do you think if I pumped up the tires everything will be ok?
A. Everybody has to have a dream

You will notice the supercharger more than any other mod, as in if you do a cam and lots of other ****, the supercharger will still be the best single mod you can do & it will still **** on all those other mods. So yes it is worth it.

Money better spent on a turbo kit will end up with a much faster car than sidemount charged
