allo allo

just posting an intro on the forum. my gf has bought a my07 sri turbo, and im trying to convince her to mod it, despite the extended 5yr warranty :P hoping the forum can help me. it goes pretty good for stock, but i wanna hear that turbo more! a tougher exhaust note wouldnt go astray either ;) (as well as eibach springs, irmscher grill, remap...)

so yeah, ill be posting mostly under her account, ill chuck up some pics tomorrow, its dead stock atm

cheers

Welcome to the site.
Where abouts in Vic are you from?

Some mods you can do easily are front mount and exhaust. Remap you can get done with a Bluefin, and if you want more of a turbo sound, throw a pod filter on.

You'll get all the info you need here. If not, just ask.

Regards
Paul

hi... ummm kerrie

1. getting a full exhaust system from the turbo back will not void warranty unless they (holden) can prove whatever problem occurs was because of the exhaust system
and i dont think helping the car to breath better with the turbo back exhaust could cause any problems with the car so id go for that one to start with

2. getting a larger front mount intercooler will also be in the same boat seeing it will help the car in the hotter months or days whatever you get in melbourne (sand storms)

3. a bluefin will be the best mod you could get seeing that you can upload it into your ECU and also when you want to take it to holden fo a service or whatever you can remover the tune and then re-add it after you have the car back

4. get a pod filter with a heat sheild because it sounds fukin awesome with the dump pipe...

THE END

hi Kerrie

Hi Will
hard job ahead of u if shes any thing like mine

:p not THAT hard a job for him... I'm fairly open to the idea - I just amen't open to the idea of voiding the extra warranty that I paid for...

I'm more than happy to have my car sound tougher and go faster and sound nicer :D
