south, the model ford i had a go at was my mates oldies 90/91 model? i dont know the ford models that well... we were only muckin around anyway.. so on another run he could of beaten me... but anyway yeh i know how quick them xr6's are.. my uncle has a 95 model one.. it'd have no worries choppn a v6 vs in my opinion.. but if soluble wants a bit more from his car i guess he could go down the path rob is on about.. each to their own Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah i think its best to start with a blown car, or a V8. I learnt on monte how to waste money and not improve performance Now im sick of cars and cbf spending money on a V8, want one but such a waste. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Now im sick of cars and cbf spending money on a V8, want one but such a waste. Yeah, no ****. Having a nice car is good, but wow, prices go up pretty fast. Especially with a V8. Getting anykind of machining done costs a ****load just because you have 2 heads and ****loads of cylinders to deal with. When I get my car resprayed and the engine rebuilt, I'm buying a mini they kick arse. Wish I still had me old one... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey Soluble. . . You say there is a warrenty on your car? ? ? How did you manage that on an 8 year old car? How man K's had the car done when you bought it? I also own a VS but only the exec model... You are right on your way to having a nice car mate. The only thing I have put in my car is a pioneer head unit worth 800. Not that I payed that much... haha You also said that Supercharging your car is way too expensive? ? You can get a decent supercharger for your model car for around $1800 mate. You have 3k to spend. Well I am out of work and only have $1800 to spend so I'm feeling pretty down and out about all my mod's that I want. But as they say, Rome wasnt built in a day. I am the impatient type though, I have to have everything NOW.. haha So to start of im getting myself some genie extractors and a new exhaust and some VU SS 17" wheels. Then from there ill get it lowered 2.5" and get a tint job and a rear wing for it.. and so on and so forth by the way. . . How many inches did you drop your car mate??

Warranty because I bought it thru a dealer, my first car, a VN S Pak, was all but fawked when I got it, unknown to me, I figured if I got a car thru a dealer with a warranty it wouldnt have the same problem, so far it's had the Computer replaced, the fuel system, heater coil, fuel pump, all new hoses and what not, a new blinker stick thing, and a few other little things, so i'd say the warranty has done its worth It's lowered with pedders super lows, seeing as no one around here does FE2 or anything else that I know of, only cost me $930 with struts and whatever else I needed, I'm gonna try and get some pics up soon Im thinking of dumping the fury rims and just getting some VX SS rims :S altho everyone has them, I think they'd suit the car perfect!

It's great Question tho, you keep referring to this cab company!? Did some hobo in a cab ram into you? I'm just doing before and after shots, hopefully will look, sound and go great when its done. $1800 for a supercharger? FItted or not? I know **** all about superchargers D: Less than I know about the engine itself! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Jet Pilot. How much has that car been lowered ? ? Soluble. . . No that's not fitted mate but still not a bad price. If you are looking on the intnernet for engine mod websites don't bother. They all seem to charge over the moon prices for anything. Some wally's quoted me $700 for extractors fitted. . . HAH

lol, I just had a look around for what is available, and then ask a mate about it, he enjoys working on my car, seeing as his is only a VN. Also, give me those mags.

EF sounds good. Had any probs with it South? Is that 150kw standard? What's it make at the wheels? What mods do you have? Do they come in 5spd? Do chicks like them? VS Goes hard. Just go pacemaker extractors and the following exhaust setup: Standard Cat, 2.5" Pipe, high flow straight through (not chambered) muffler, and rear straight through resonator. Buy a cold air kit from somewhere a k&n panel filter and you will be cheering. Toytota Lexcen = not a VS.

Quote: Toytota Lexcen = not a VS Choice Bro = Ignorant Be it a Lexcen or a Commodore, its still a VS model. And Soluble, there's another funny story about girls only liking cars, or only liking guys for their car. But that'll land me in trouble again.
