Mumsvx's VX Series II Lumina

[mumsvx]

Hello and greetings all,

This is my 2002 VX Series II Lumina. The engine has done 107059 Kms and the car is 100% stock and runs like new.
The first thing I did after attaining the car was to have installed a towbar, new seat covers and a decent AV system.

The towbar is a Hayman Reece 1600 kg. The protective sleeve on the towball has alredy been split and scuffed. Did someone run into me? Bad luck for their front end.

I was lucky to find the seat covers the local Autobarn. They are custom fit to accomodate the split rear seat.

After a flat battery and having Holden service telling me that it would cost $25 to get the code for the stock Eurovox head unit, I walked away and invested in a new system.

Plans:
I am going to keep the car stock for a while. Possible future changes would be a supercharger and exhaust mod, wheel, brake and suspension changes, a deeper window tint, a paint touch-up and debadge. But for now, mumsvx is happy being stock and straight.

Does anyone in Commodore County have advice on a CAI and catbacks? After reading opinions/reviews it seems like a Mace CAI and Rhino catbacks may yield a good KW increase. But I'm no pro. Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks, Chris.

Nice clean ride. That sound system looks the goods, excellent install job. Can i ask how much the head unit goes for and was it a straight fit into the commos double din space with all those cables behind etc? Towbar looks dangerous..wont be parking behind you anytime lolol...cheers

Hi kangavxss and thanks.

The system is exactly what I wanted. Superb sound with little effort. I've the amp gains currently set to 1/4. I think the HU was about $1450 at the time (2 months ago) and it was a very tight fit. I had the boys @ Autobarn install it for me as I tend to break things. They also built the custom box in front of the lpg tank. Considering the tools they had in their workshop you're right, it is an excellent install job.

Lolol on the towball. I'm in a medium size country town which may lessen the chances of the ball being pinched but I left it on as protection for the VX's :butt:. And considering all those little magical scratches that appear on the car, it seems to be working so far.
