VN V6, nothing special
Weight reduction and diff gears would be the Go, a manual will help alot to but a mini spool of LSD is needed badly i know :p

I got my old VN going pretty quick with mods, no Gtech times but held its own on the street lol,

his right :) gears and a diff that spins 2 is 100% needed :D ade a huge difference on my auto vn

VP Executive R-spec
Hey I was just reading this thinking, nice thread! then I read you are the guy waiting on the tune, well you will be happy to know I posted that today :) so Monday or Tuesday you will have it in the car. If you don't mind a noisey of bomb of a car pull weight out is the ultimate way to go fast on the cheap but you really have to be commited to keeping the car long term because only Me, Morton or Bz Kn33z are potential customers after you do that to it :p

Haha cant wait to get the tune in my car. Yeah im unsure about the weigh reduction due to the noise level of it all, but still, its a way to go faster for free. Thanks for doing the tune for me aswell, much appreciated :D

Also looking at getting myself a G Tech but there arent any on ebay, any ideas where to get one cheap (not after the newest one, just one that u guys are using).

So i remembered reading how greenfoam widened his CAI a while back so i thought i'd head out and pick myself up a heat gun and give it a shot myself.

Yes i know this is a lot of pictures for just a CAI but i got bored.
