    manual vs
    just thought id'e ask 4 sum ideas. i recently blew up my gear box we'll actually 5 gear went but the box is f**ked, it was a get rag gear box and i pierced a hole through the housing. im getting it fixed from a guy up the road and i just found out that i basically need a new engine cause all the parts are f**ked or almost f**ked. any way to the point c ing as im getting it fixed i wanna do some mods to it. i already have a kick ass sound system its all hetrz except for the deck which is alpine and i have a 5 channel audison amp which i got floated in my boot with a 12inc sub & another 12inch is on the way. and my cuzin is an appolsterer & he's going to deck it all out in black leather with bits of red seing as my car is black n red.

    i was wondering what sort of body kit would suit it best i was thinking a clubby style kit. and were 2 get 1 from, and how much it would cost to fit and spray. and im looking for sum 5 star style rims, is there any problems fitting 19s on a vs? and can you fit a monaro bonnet straight on or does it need shaving down? or are there any other nice bonnets that can bolt straight on or would look better than a monaro 1. any help would be much appreciated.

    ah, yes, the old my gearbox is busted so i need a new engine trick

    what ya gotta do is the following

    get a ford, the gearbox in that will work a treat in your v series. prefer the one out of a b.a as they ahve sports shift., just make sure you install the seats from the ford, it all ties in together.

    wheels bmw make some fully sick rims that will suite a v series. nice small spokes, with a small center hub. so you can see the brakes. think of the money you will save with petrol with all that weight being saved. and they are more areodynamic also.
    while yoru there, do a brake upgrade, there is a upgrade on the nissan skyeline that will mate upto the v series.

    misubishi make a body kit. and you even get those cool looking rallyart stickers for your v series, make sure you de-bag it though, dont want to look like a re-tart with those holden bades on your car if you got a rally art sticker on the back now do we.

    other mods to complement your fully sick sound stezza would be to install a play station in the roof of the boot. id make some sort of a little pop up display on each head rest for people to watch the sweet vids of the hot chicks. there are wind screen whiper blades that have a blowing effect, they glow at the tips when the water hits them. looks magical.

    those are my tips. airstrike will be along soon enough to post his views, he is amod king.
