Currently own a VY commodore.
Just wondering what peoples thoughts where on a Jap mod based modded VY Commodore??
Like,
1, Big exhaust, (cannon, straight through etc.) I've seen an adjustable exhaust system where you press a button and it opens up... bypasses the muffler or something (this idea is preferable as the noise from that kind of exhaust on the sized engines available is horrific, fuel cell versus vz fuel tank so I can go the twin exhaust (one on either side rather then the two on the passenger side)
2, After Market Wing,
3, Custom Body kit... cause putting a HSV body kit on it don't make it a HSV and I don't own a HSV,
4, Twin Turbo 3.8L buick, Not so much for the power, I mean some more kick would be a beautiful thing but I don't plan on trying to beat V8's down the quarter mile or anything so I may just go a single (position would be a bother though) or a 3.6?
5, Custom paint job (not really just a Jap mod cause all cars can get these, some cars need these and a lot of these look bad, so simple but nice),
6, After market head unit/sound system (a Bose sound system would be preferable, rip it out of other cars or might go alpine but experience says they are a lot of hype over nothing)
7, race seats (of course) 5 point harness for looks more then safety cause I wouldn't bother using them
8, Possibly VZ berlina dash (the VE looking dash)
Mostly looking for ideas or for examples.
I want the car to look like nothing you've ever seen, like see it and just not recognize it, look at it again and... commodore??
Based on the fact that people when modifying a commodore seem to think, just grab parts from a better model (clubby, SS, GTS etc.) and then... they just look like a bad version of a higher model. Nice clubsport... but it's a V6?? I don't want that (also i don't think the clubby kit is that great on the VY, just my opinion) also if I wanted a clubsport I'd rather save up and buy one then have a cheap knock off? but I don't want a clubsport
