Your opinion required.

Monaro VXR

I've had the sport pac cat back system fitted and agree it's superb. But what should I do next and in what order?

Rip shifter
AP Brakes
Front exhaust.
3.9 Diff.

What do you guys think.

[The Jackel]

Brakes, then rip shifter , then front exhaust, then diff

My opinion only of course

[wayne marsh]

Cheers - That seems a sensible option.

[Paul.H.]

Well, you've got it going faster...it would be prudent & an advantage to stop it now, so brakes next; then I think DiFillipo headers, ripshifter & diff after that!

breaks then supercharger could be done for the cost of the rest.

I found the VXR brakes to be "ok" before doing any mods so I would definitely do the AP's before the Diff.

The headers will release a few hp but I would do the rip shifter before that, if you haven't tried one before I would recommend you do soon, the difference is well worth the money.

So:

Rip shifter
Front exhaust (Headers)
AP Brakes
3.9 Diff

[wayne marsh]

Thanks again guys. I would like to try the ripshifter on a VXR but don't know where there might be one. Problem is I'm in North Yorkshire and I don't know anyone within a reasonable distance who has one fitted that I could see.

I'm almost sure at this point I want to go for the brakes next, then ripshift (if it's as good as you all say) then the headers!

Any other opinions would be welcomed.

I have a set of AP's - if you need your eyeballs setting free,let me know!
Have driven a car with Rip, but haven't got one fitted - better than std poridge bucket - that wouldn't be hard. Gear shift does inprove slightly with miles

I have to say if you drive on the smaller roads round by you then get a set of AP's ASAP!
Or wait until the others cook and you need a change of trousers

[greens vauxhall]

If you fancy a longer drive, have all the toys for you to try on various cars. he he he

[well_fans]

isn't one of the touring car events down your neck of the woods Caspy? Good excuse for a drive down to test out those mods, if he needs one

[greens vauxhall]

Yep! Brands on 1st April. About 20 mins away.

Personally I would do brakes, headers (because they sound SO DAMN GOOD) and I might think about a Ripshifter. I don't think it is as necessary as everyone makes out on the VXR at least which already has a tighter unit anyway. The diff is also awesome but I would be tempted to save my pennies up for a supercharger

[andykiloh]

I'd go for ap brakes cos they are the dogs b****cks! with perhaps a rip shifter,then if you have the funds go for race logic traction control-you won't be disapointed!.ask AM04ARO.

I think after having al that fitted i would do the following;

AVO suspension (you can drive faster with no more power)
AP brakes
Diff
Headers
Traction Control

Diff really does give a huge boost but the suspension set up gives really good control which means you will be driving faster anyway.

[ferb]

Save up and do the lot in one godiff is great, ripshift coming soon

[Le Sarthe]

What a nice choice to have.

I would agree with Benno and go for brakes next and then a supercharger. You have a good sound already (not as mad as headers)but by adding the brakes you can stop and are well prepared for a supercharger which gives you a serious power/torque gain and lays a foundation for going further!

As the component cost of the others is less it may be easier to add each one of those later or indeed the suspension.

[ringram]

Diff for performance, brakes for safety

[gareth h]

suspension to go round corners..

[delmeekc]

err, if your a straightline racer the ripshifter first, saves those oh dear just got beat cos I can't change gear. Then the Diff.

If your in it for the corners (fast or drift) then the suspension followed by the ripshifter.

All would benefit from cat back and remap.

[delmeekc]

oops, brakes first if you drive fast and go over the speed limit, mine where rubbish once they got too much heat in them, three roundabouts in a row = no brakes on a cv8.
