My short-wheelbase Statesman

[dethballer]

My second car (first being a 1994 Rodeo)
What shes got:
2002 vx II berlina v6
95,000ks
silver with 18 inch GRANGE rims
12 inch pioneer sub, pioneer amp, pioneer speakers and coustic amps


Soon to come:
headers and exhaust
pod filter (I like induction noise)
custom CAI
cam or roller rockers

 

[dethballer]

Hmmm. Not much interest in my car at all lol

looks nice man. 15 seconds shouldnt be to hard to achieve depends how low in the 15's i wanna go. rims look nice too

Im aiming for about 15.4 or better. Trying to beat my mates 1993 prelude
Gotta love legal drag racing.

but the problem is i'm lost when it comes to what to do to get my car to go faster without FI or another 2 cylinders. I figure it would be better to get advice from people with experience then to take a stab in the dark.

Also, is there an over the radiator CAI for the v6, and what is a MAFless tune?

help :bang:

 

[johnvtls1]

15.4 shouldnt be too hard to get mate. get some diff gears in it. get ur exhaust done and either cam or roller rocekers+ tune. Just get the supercharger v6 CAI from holden or somthing. i think there 60 bucks. and a mafless tune is more of an LS1 thing. dont think theres too much gain on the 6 going mafless.

yeh lower it mate, My vt is stock as performance wise and runs 15.07 on the gtech consistantly. But i im putting that down to the massive launch i can get and the short shifting due to having an m34 of course

I like the silver commos but it neeeeeeeds lowering

The best I have gotten was 16.2, But that was after only a days of owning it and on factory 15s with some nasty rubber. Needles to say, traction was bad.
Also, how much for fe2 suspension? I like fe2, sure its not very low but I have been told the change in handling is huge

take the sub out and spare wheel will take 40-50 kgs off which will equal a couple of hundreths haha doesnt sound ,like much but the less wait the less drag

 

[nicko]

when you come down from fe2 the change will be huge again, Fe2 springs fitted for about $350+
