Engine: 3.8 Supercharged V6.

Exhaust: Fucked but standard.

Suspension: Too fucking low in the ass, and SSL in the front.

Wheels: Standard vy 17" alloys (painted matt black)

Modifications: Custom headlights... diy... involved my oven, flat head screwdriver, black paint and patience smile.gif - total cost $11.90 and an hour of my time.
and i replaced the headlining, it was being held up by 40,000 thumb-tacks LOL

Stereo Audio / Visual: Standard 10 stacker, with standard speakers.

Estimated Power: Little bit more then the standard 3.8 but pretty average.


Recently got this, put a couple of hours into cleaning it up a bit... not finished yet... im not looking to spend shitloads... its only a daily and its a vt... LOL
but my plan is keep it clean and simple....
I DIDNT DO TINT THE TAIL LIGHTS OR SLAM IT. yes im changing it... yes it looks fucked...


Thought I would chuck it up and get some ideas, but before you all start ranting.... my plans are...

- make it alot higher then it is now in the ass end.
- re-do the window tint 5% all round
- whitewalls ( they are booked in for monday morning )
- run the wheels until they are fucked and then get VY signature alloys
- vx calais lights and garnish for the rear
- personalised plates on order
- cold air intake
- bigger exhaust but one that wont drone because unfortunately its auto
& clean up the engine bay is high on my list... anyone have a spare cover for 3.8L-S engine smile.gif
and does anyone with higher springs wanna swap for mine...

( couple of photos are when i got it )

BEFORE







AFTER (still a work in progress)

    wat makes it more powerful than your average vt? the Custom headlights? or the stock 3.8 Supercharged V6
