    VS exec 3.8l
    Hey guys, new here so hopefully i do this right
    Now i own a VS exec 95 nothing spes atm but ive been having various ideas running though my head on how i can make it my own, and thought why not run the idea's though you guys see if anyone can add to them

    At this point in time its stock as a rock other then some 17" rims + racing tyres/sound system. my plan at this point in time when money allows is to get a HSV manta kit onto it, change the air intake to the VS supercharged models air intake, throw in extractors 2.5" Catty system all the way, then see how low it needs to go to look nice if that means not lowering then so be it. oh and possibly the monaro hood scoops...

    now this is where the question comes in, other then completely customising the interior which is yet something i plan on doing aswel, anyone else have some idea's although power wise to keep the 6 NA and powerful would require a lot of time and money all ideas are welcome as never know someone might have something i didnt even think of.

    Anywho thank you in advance
    Mike

    Welcome. Sounds good, in terms of power, throw in a custom chip with what you're already getting and it'll be pretty quick. Aside from that you're looking at major engine work.

    you know it would be better off leaving it look standard and putting the money into engine work, imho if you make it look "fully sick" on the outside you will get pulled up ALOT, i have had cars where the outside was slight difference to stock and got pulled up all the time where as driving a worked motor not once pulled up, seeing as you are on you are on p's dont change the outside at all, but that is my opinion.

    Use the "fully sick money" to put in a nice cam, supporting mods, bit of head work while they're off, get a tune and you will be quite quick but look stock and grandpa..... Iv got a mate who had a vs did a stage 2 crow cam, high ratio rockers, whatever valve springs and retainers were suitable, shaved the heads to up compression a bit, and got it tuned and did a 14.8 quarter and I forget how many killer wasps.... Think it might've been 170rwkw I think..... Anyways in. 1322 kg shell it's enough especially to keep it na

    Although he did say that it wasn't expensive cause his mechanic was working with crow cams at the time for the development of their stage 2 camshaft, so possibly it was a "test vehicle" not to sure .... I'm In the process of building my turbo motor ATM hoping for better results than him!
