Hi all,
This is a list of what I will be doing to my car (As soon as I get paid!!!) and pictures of the procces will come soon.

WHAT I'VE DONE ALREADY

• ALPINE 6-STACKER
• SOUND4 6INCHS
• 2INCH EXHUAST SYSTEM
• NEONS (WHICH ARE GOING, THERE GAY)

WHAT I AM DOING

• SUBWOOFER
• AMPLIFIER
• AFTERMARKET H/U
• COLD AIR INTAKE
• K&N PANEL FILTER
• NEW BADGES
• NEW RIMS (17inch)

With the Cold Air Intake, my old man said they are s*** and not worth the money, there only $70 from holden. Is he true?

In the ICE dep. , what size and brand& size Amp should I run and also what is a good cheap H/U?

Thanks all!

If your on a budget then you cant go past Response amps, speakers and subs. As fo a HU, I'd go for a name brand. Kenwood or pioneer will never let you down.

Unless your engine is breathing super-heated air, your money would be better spent on a V8 throttle.

now that's cheap!

a V8 throttle body will allow more air into the engine. the only time you would ever need to change the intake plumbing would be if it's way too restrictive. Personally I like straight-through intakes, where the pipe goes straight from bumper to throttlebody in a straight line. Keeps your air cool too.

As for the badges, a set of the new Holden badges (chrome) would be a nice touch

my brother's got a suzuki swift, he got a DR1FT pod filter (1,300,000km warranty, cleanable), we just did a backyard job, there was a space on the front grille beside the radiator, so we stuffed a piece of aggae pipe in going from there to the air filter goes better for it (both the air filter and the cai helped). if it could help a 3cyl then it will help a V8 a lot

You do know that 99% of VN to VR V6's have a restrictor plate inserted that kind of negates fitting any increase in throttle body. This plate can be removed but I have been told that they are prone to stalling the engine when the throttle is released suddenly.

yeah good point ivan, i had forgotten about that. a mates old man, told me bout that for my car, he thought i had a VR ute, but as mine is VS, with the ecotec, i dont have it.
