I reckon an Eaton M90 off the 3.8L V6 Commodore would bolt up nicely...

well any 4WD would look pimp with 20"+ rims, dark tint & chrome everything.

Hmmmm but with performance, i guess its really comes down to how much you want to spend on running cost. Average 4WD are 17L/100km & with a supercharge on top you be easily on 25L/100km :?

I guess the first few things would be the usual exhaust, intake & ecu. Is it still under warranty? If so, what parts can you change without voiding the warranty?

got 6 months on the warranty so just starting to plan what to do to it...
fuel looks to run at about 15l/100k... (in sydney peakhour)
going to chuck a pannel filter in it this weekend to see what difference it makes...

already looking for exhaust systems and other bits... don't know if i'm going to mod it heaps, but i'm definately on the lookout for mods that will improve fuel economy (exhaust, etc).
