Kenwood - Listen to the future

ruredi's 1996 Holden Commodore

Now what do you think the cops would think about this...??? :P
ruredi's 1996 Holden Commodore ruredi's 1996 Holden Commodore

There is a blue neon tucked in at the top...you cant see it...just the glow at night time...and there is a neon where the fire hydrant is. The Kenwood logo in the center of the seat lights up in the red triangle. Ill have to get some night shots and show ya...anywayz...

I will probably be freshining up the system a little bit more...(as if its not already enough BUT...you always want what ya haven't got they say)...I'm going to get a new sub box made so that the subs will face towards the inside of the car...then of course I will get a perspex panel in the back of the box with a nice display so it will still look nice probably even better...ummmm...some sound deading will be going in...better rear speakers...and I will also get custom made door pods so the fronts are basting out towards my Head...hehe

Future Major Engine modificatioins...probably be carried out within the next year or 2...

* Eaton M90 Supercharger (Basically the factory supercharger set up that they come out with)
* Universal Power-up Pulley Kit
* 1.9:1 High Ratio Roller Rocker Arms
* Laser Cut Heat Shield
* 81�C Cooler Thermostat
* 3" Mandrel Bent Cat Back Exhaust
* Type S - Cold Air Intake Kit
* Front Mount Intercooler
* Computer Professionally Re-Mapped

Will probably be running around 17-19 PSI...CANT WAIT! *BIG CHEESY GRIN*

As far as any more body modifications go...Probably just a bodykit...either SS, GTS or Clubsport...Not too sure yet...and tint the windows as dark as I possibly can...

Anywayz...so yeah...that basically it for now...let me know what you guys think...I will put up pics of any modifications as they come...Cheers

Update...! 19th May 2006...

Just traded in my set of 18's for these two 19's...I've wanted these rims for so long...Just running stocky's on the back for now...saving up for the other two 19's...Let me know what you think...

New 19's...Im In Love...!

Love the new rims dude - they definitely do the car justice. Check out my custom boot install sometime - its on my last page. Boot lid comes up woth hydrolics, then linear actuators fold out the amp. Got airbrushing as well. Let me know when you get the back two rims! Regards, Leah aka trouble_vl
