Boosted Falcon

KK well i sold my EB, unfortunatly i've moved too the dark side. I was buying an xr6t but figured i'll wait for the price of the BF's to come down a little before i go the whole hog.

As i didnt need a loan or to save this is what i ended up with.
a series 2 vp bt1.


interior is pretty imac for this kinda car, got a pretty decent stereo



The boot


business end



wouldnt mind swapping this for a turbo e series or somethin manual with a sunroof if your interested PM me
thanks ash

atleast its an 8....
hope it was cheap :/

thats actuall not bad for a one of them... at least its not on 20s and sh1t...


almost a sleeper

not bad. i dont mind VP's. I guess its something about the box car era.

I like it!

yeah i wanna keep it 99% orig. it was on rims when i got it but i want it sleeper/cop spec how ever you wanna say it. its got an exhaust thats it just a wicked cruiser and drives so good not being slammed.

yeah it was pretty cheap and come with a raody owned by an old guy since 'decomissoned' he got it at the auctions and had it since. it had like headlight protectors and wind/rain visors on the windows too lol.

yeah it is kinda box car lol, thanks for the compliments

looks like a pretty clean car, but the VN/VPs get my vote for most boring and depressing interior ever.

what do the chasers have different do a factory spec?

Hey mate i like the custom boot install. im looking to do something similar except keeping the sub in the boot. Did you do it yourself?

haha soon as you get a commodore. already got the cops behind ya

always hated the interior of the commos but i love how clean and simple the boot is

Looks like a good example matey.

yeah man. i like my stereos, not very hard just depends how indepth you wanna go. one thing i noticed is tho is that there is stuff all room for dvd players in these things due to the shape and position of the heatercore.


yeah the interior is 'blah' but surprisingly comfy,
You could go on FOREVER & EVER about what bt1's have or are 'ment' to have, but basically they are 5l exec's with HSV/SS drive lines ( 5.0l/ factory extractors / LSD/ 3.45's/ cop cluster/ drop tank ) mine has a big as bash plate over the sump and starter motor. surprisingly fun and nice car to drive

looks ok for a commo mate. least its a 5litre .

Nice looking car mate, I like it!

Atleast its a V8. Needs some wheels.

no, they don't.

COP CHIP BRO!!!!

lol at 1000hp heads!

You dont see many clean VN's and VP's around anymore. They are like E series I guess. No-one cbf looking after them except enthusiastics.

My first car was a VP... I heart them, hard.

Nice pickup. I want a VP again.

hahah there is no way this car will see 'rims' as long as i own it, thats what the police had on it (15x7's) so thats how it stays.

Yeah i guess these are kinda the box car of holdens, love my ea/ebs so its kinda alike,

Only from what i've heard i think the commo 5.0L heads are good for like 600hp ?
i have it on pretty good aurthority there is no such things as a cop chip lol

surprised this car has gone over so well lol

The EFI Holden heads are a good design, and may well flow 600hp, but only after a good going over.

The intake manifold chokes those 304s once they've got a bit of work, but for a daily it's not a big deal.

well yer i new they where ment to be really good flowing heads from what i was told by a friend of mine that has had a vn 5ltr but like you said 600hp is bloody good for stockers

they don't flow 600 either lol, they are more like 400-450hp stock.
but yeah they are good heads.

It's a nice looking VP man, needs more 355 though
I got much love for tuff VN-VS commos.
Possibly even the odd VH but it has to be special.

i love a mint vh sle manual with simon fr19,s

btw that is prity tidy vp man

needs more 355
i have a block thats had all machine work done for a c.o.m.e 355 kit. its only a block, no rotating assembly tho.
possibly if i keep the car, which i doubt. i have spoken to people in the know and am lookin at holeset/truck turbo 355.

currently phil sodastrong (dominator founder) is running a 315cube stroker (started as a a 308) with an old truck turbz and its making a reliable street driven 800hp on pump fuel (blow through set up) and will make 1000hp on good fuel. a family friend is building a 355 version of phils motor and as a 355 aint a great stretch of the standard 304 and running lowish boost the motor should hold up for a fair while in his prem.

aaahhhh if i had all the money in the world. My initial idea in buying the vp was to screw together a tough turbo ready 4ltr and swap the vp for a mint ea/eb with a sunroof for summer but if someone is interested in the VP with a turbo or a manual car with a roof its up for swaps. no cash sales tho.

thanks for the compliments again.

mate of a mate is whacking a 3582r on his 304 on LPG, internally stock, twin GRA throttle manifold, all in a VP...should be a decent weapon.
i'd think about going that path, fukk the 355, as tough as a decent one sounds, boosted stock motors is where it's at for a street slapper...

yeah i reckon, got another mate doing LS1 turbo in his VN putting a 6 speed behind it, its got 4;11's and a locker (cars always been about burn outs) should be a fun car lol.

who wants to hear about commos anyways lol cant wait to sitting in somethin with a blue oval on it again.

thanks for the new sig steady lol

The interior is clean, the best parts the boot so clean and nice its ok for a commo throw the auto in the bin too manuel FTW. a mate has a vp ss turbo manuel didn't cost him much. goes well too apparently. NUT347 tell this fine man how jimmys' ss goes. overall 10/10 for good nick, but will dock points for it being a commo so 7/10

yeah man i'll take 7/10, on the search for a mint ea/eb with a sunroof.
love the car but i just think the commo scene is'nt for me and pretty much sick of seeing alot of people letting down the e-sereis doing single peggers and general shit burnouts lol miss my eb already!

TH700 autobox ratios > BTR ratios. TH700 can be beefed up a fair bit too. It's not as refined as the BTR, but it's a good unit.

Fuckit, VN/VP have a few advantages over E-series. Tailshaft isn't as prone to self destruction, autos are better geared, they're lighter, and brake upgrades are slightly cheaper.

Having said that, the interior is made of recycled plastic milk bottles, the steering sucks - you never quite know where the wheels are pointed exactly, and they have a super flexy chassis. No I6 either.

i fell in love with vp's when a mate of mine had a vp berlina v8 rear spoiler 17s lowered a little it just looked good then some dick head hit her and wrote it off i really like vp's the fact its a v8 is even better tho

yep, unless its a forced 6, 8's are really the only other option!. Also i dont really count the v6 'bt1's as a real bt1 lol.

I don't mine the vp's. clean car you picked up there. Go all out lol. Mate of mine has VP commo with a blower on it goes alright for commo lol...
