What Mods You Got Planned for 2010

[hazrd]

As per Gav
Getting in early hehehehe

Also as per his first post in the '08 thread, realism required!!


Calibra (in no particular order):
- Finish opelization
- 3.0ltr cams
- Tune
- Dyno run
- Capacitor for amps
- See Marck (FCA) for speaker upgrade
- Install 4ch Amp

Astra:
- Opelize
- VXMMI
- 18s
- MAYBE lowering (might have to push this one)

[Calibrated]

Calibra:

Fit oil filter housing seal.
sell at some stage...

Audi:

APR Stage 1+ ECU
APR snub mount
N75 Race valve
FMIC
3" turbo back exhuast
S4 rear spoiler
colour code bumper trims
S4 door blades
S4 brake upgrade
ECS Stage 2 Clutch
MTec HID

that should do me.

[Ice]

De-restrict Airbox
Amp and sub the VXMMi
reverse camera
Dyno run :D (cant wait for this one)

[Nurb608]

Calibra:

Actually put it back together :D

Vectra:

Get it back from the inlaws :rolleyes:

Corsa:

Sell!

Astra:

SMD's
Fit up Gauges
Footwell Lighting
Breather box and Oil Restrictor
Fit 2nd baby seat :cornut:

[Neeko]

For the Corsa my mods will depend on the career path I take during 2010. If I continue on my low income and decide to keep the car I'm going to look into a few more performance mods such as:

• custom extractors
• custom intake plenum
• reprofiled cams
• lightend flywheel
• stronger clutch
• block EGR valve (possible job for matt?)
• Vxmmi headunit
• and whatever else I have money for.

[sooty]

Absolutely nothing but maintenance.

[Jerram]

Good thread this one adz - also how come I don't see an F25 or 28 Manual box on that list? You know where to get them now eh - might be worth checking out the Saab wreckers in Oakleigh.

Vectra
-Sell it
-Sell the parts I bought for it but never fitted (refer FS section lol)

Saab (B258i V6 (c25xe))
-G Intake Cams
-Remap (have to get my OBD interface to work first)
-Machined throttle and intake (I'll let you know how much it costs lol)
-Low Pressure Turbo from the 3.0 9-5 (if I can find one for sale)
-Hydraulic Clutch (or I could man up and stick with the cable one)
-3.6 or 4bar fpr
-Eibachs, Boge shocks for the rear (already on the fronts)
-900 Aero 3 Spoke Classic Rims
-Viggen body kit and tailgate spoiler (also hard to find)
-Leather (easy to obtain considering saab appears to have used the same seat design since the '80s)
-SCC
-Saab equivalent of the VXMMI

Yeah modding cars is so much easier when you have a full time job

[SKM_87]

not always, i work full time and a mechanic and i still cant afford to mod the damn thing.

corsa - fix all the little broken bits and sell

[tomtom]

Yeah modding cars is so much easier when you have a full time job

It sure is :cool:

On my list:

True CAI set up through foglight (pending on how brave i go in terms of drilling the car's body)
Whiteline rear sway
Whiteline rear shim kit
Whiteline caster kit
New pads (when these go completely)
2.25'' catback

Tidy up calipers (black)
Paint front chrome bar (looking for donor grill still)
...

If I'm bothered :rolleyes: Still enjoying the new sport contact 3 tyres so not inclined to mod it yet - the grip is stupid... I highly recommend Contis.

[gmonkey]

Its going to be a good long year of mods :)

Talon bodykit
Coilovers
Whiteline rarb
Slotted rotors
Qfm brake pads
Finish smd conversion
Hiflow cat
S/s cat back 2inch dual line
X2 varex backboxes
5% window tint
More stickers

Buy new tyres
Piano black + some custom interior
Neons in boot
Angeleyes

The maybe pile
Vxr injectors
Bigger fpr
Remap
Pipercross viper
Respray metallic green
Piper cams?

[CNBLU]

Gmonkey - instead of the Injectors and FPR (useless) i would look at getting headers and cams, much more benificial to you. Your no way near maxing out your current injectors and fpr....;)

[boorny88]

what i want to try and do for next year which may not happen (as i need a bit of money to get over to the UK mid next year)

will be a remap
new rims
sportline springs and a hole lot of suspension gear
short shifter and new leather gaitors
cold air intake
new FMIC
LSD
and anything small that i think of

on the mega wish list
vxr turbo
vxr injectors
vxr fpr
and EPS IDF or wat ever it is software and handheld.

[Wraith]

Absolutely nothing but maintenance.

+ 1 for my Cali and Astra, will instead be spending the time and money on another new car purchase (hopefully ie) sometime through 2010...although if I head O/S in March, there is an item I want to grab for the interior of my vert. :)

[mania]

Definite pile: (in order)
- Run a Car PC off a CID interface
- New downpipe
- Dap R springs (they are road legal aren't they Rory?)
- Team Dynamics wheels
- New tyres
- VXR rear diffuser
- 3" Piper VXR exhaust w/ Milltek Sport rear tip
- Vectra VXR rear brake upgrade
- Intercooler

Maybe pile:
- Buy Recaros off someone before they trade in their vxr :devil: (any takers?)
- Courtenay's new intake manifold (I like the look of it - long inlet tracks)

[btm]

absolutely nothing but maintenance.
+2

[JohnBu]

Astra Turbo
- source/fix passenger seat fold down cable mechanism.
- rotate tyres
- install QEM HPX pads
- pray my clutch/turbo will last another year & 25,000km. Fine now, but not sure how much longer the original clutch/turbo will last now it's sitting at 140,2xxkm. It's like a timebomb.. lol.. will try and stock up on a VXR turbo & clutch if I can find one cheap.

MkV GTI
- ECU tune
- respray stock wheels in metallic gunmetal

[gman]

Actually spend some time fitting the parts I have sitting at home...

Should be all the easier now I am moving back to Australia!!!! :D

[Danboy_LMF]

I'd be here all day if I listed all my plans lol :lol:

But in short I shall have my Astra VXR engine dropped into the Vectra C, the first of its kind as far as I know :D

[poita]

start it

[FLY-SRi]

my plans are:
get a set of semi's

Winton: 1:45's

Race on Symmons Plains
Race on Sandown

[boosted_astra]

put astra off road and start building motor up with nice fat garrett hanging off it

[guy 27]

start ordering parts for harrop supercharger build.
possibly another custom paint job although it will probably be done once the sc is in.

[adam_92]

hopefully 2010 is going to be a very big year for the corsa

coilovers
corsa sri rear beam so i can have rear discs and get rid of the drums
opelisation
CAI
get the sri rims on
new racing seats or get the standard ones rebolstered and recovered
colour code
and if i dont get a mini as a rebuild project hopefully get a z20let/c20let to rebuild and if my shitty wages allow all of this then slap the rebuilt engine in hopefully by 2011
and a wish but it probably wont happen, get it resprayed

fooking roll on 2010 hahaha

[DWS 92]

Hopefully mods will include: New wheels/tyres (17 inch preferably), suspension, exhaust, opelisation and possibly intake.

[cholly]

corsa:
aftermarket ecu
extractors
adjustable cam gears
264 deg cams
