newbie with a 2010 Caprice

[matt1984]

Hey all im from SA. Fairly new to the Holden scene as ive been a mitsi guy for a while so will need a fair bit of advice when it comes to mods, servicing etc. I just purchased a black 2010 holden Caprice v8 with just under 70,000 on the clock. Thanks for welcoming me to the site.

[matt1984]

yeah v8.. decided if were buyin a new car may be what ive always wanted.. a nice v8.. Time for the mods to start.. maybe lower the rear a bit. do i lower the front because i just make it in my driveway now lol.. nice rims.. exhaust.. too many mods lol

Nice car. In SA here too, if you just make it into the driveway, I wouldn't lower the front as it will scrape every time.
You may want to lower the rear a bit, but you might risk the chance of looking like it's towing an invisible caravan (if that's what you like).
Maybe just stick too performance mods like a cam, over the radiator intake and exhaust.
Have fun.

well all the mods engine wise, interior wise im very new at as i said ive never owned a newer holden so im fresh meat lol.

what type of exhaust would suit a v8? dont wanna be too loud but would like a bit more growl when the foot goes down

Nice car, it is a series II though with an L77 engine... technically that is the MY11 car isn't it?

 

[matt1984]
