Heylow!

exhaust:
think jerram over quoted a bit
should be able to get a catback for about 500,
should give you a nice gurgle, once you get a high flow cat you get a rasp,
ask for 2.25" pipes a resonator and a straight through muffler.

That 2.25" pipes, resonator and a straight through muffler will gimme the gurgle burble I'm after? If it does, if I decided, further along the track, to upgrade the engine and stuff itself, will that affect the muffler in anyway? Like will it need replacing or anything? Or all good?

[Shay]

will give a good burble. and will be fine for future upgrades.
the 2.2 is pretty deep note anyway as long as you got no crackle sounds sweet.

mines a bit raspy but i got a stainless hi flow cat which is why. apart from that mines the same as describeb above.

Alright cool, how about that Whining noise I got off my engine/timing belt? Anyone got any ideas on fixing that?

Btw, should I start posting in the Vectra section now? lol

Where abouts in South Brisbane are ya mate?

[Jerram]

That's a nic-ish kit you're looking at there (not a fan of the front spoiler though; the GSi spec one is better).

Keep in mind if you're buying things like that from the UK that it will cost you a lot to post it, and if the total value is over $1,000 then you will need to pay duty and GST.

[Shay]

mines got a pretty loud belt noise too, think its just how they are

btw your waterpump and cat and maybe rocker cover gasket are likely to go pretty soon.
'just at that age/kms.
so as jerram said make sure you keep some cash in your pocket,

as for rims talk to the boys on here, SRi-T rims look pretty nice and are 17's think a few guys are selling them atm.

Hmm, to think of it, I don't think they even ship to Australia lol.

Alright thanks mate. Sounds like I need to fix her up before I can start sprucing her up haha.

[Shay]

personally i think "sprucing" is overrated the amount you pay to make it look good could be used so much better for making it perform well

body kit for 3000 or a low boost turbo setup, id take the turbo.
but each to there own

True true, but I don't plan on racing anyone anytime soon, and I think I'd rather be cruising around in something that looked good, and then after sometime, looks good and performs good. But I dunno, what would you do overall? Cause I'm just learning all this stuff at the moment lol

[Shay]

for you:
exhaust ("look" plus performance)
CAI (performance and a nice sound IMO and not too costly)
Lowering (helps hanndlin and look)
stereo (stock isnt that great)
rims.

let the rest come later

me, haha here we go...

Eaton M45 supercharger
Extractors
Cold air intake
convert to manual
intercooler
racing seats.
coil overs
limited slip dif
internals
fuel pressure regulator
enlarged throttle body.
weight reduction.

brocky style bodykit eventually.
sleeper all the way!!
but unfortunately ive never seen a leprechaun, let alone stole his pot of gold.
