    E1 Clubsport Tail Light Wiring

    Does anyone know which wires are which that are plugged into the tail lights of an E1 Clubby? I need the positive and negative so I can install a load resistor to hopefully, stop the fast flash. I am sick of replacing LED's etc., have installed the patch harness and checked the modules. The...

    V8 V-30 rims

    Does anyone have any experience with V8 branded V-30 rims? They look like they are Vertini Monaco copies. I am not sure of the quality and whether I should spend the extra and get the Vertini's. I've posted a link to them below. Holden, Ford Wheels & Tyres | Nuts & Spacers | Sydney & Online

    Upgrading VE Stock Speakers - How To

    Great stuff. Although I probably wasn't clear in saying that I meant behind the seats from inside the boot. No need to remove seats etc! Nevertheless, a great result. Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 4

    Upgrading VE Stock Speakers - How To

    It may not have come with the premium stereo as standard. You might need to check that first. If so, as far as I know the amp should be directly behind the battery on both wagons and sedans. Mine is a sedan and that is where it is. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk

    Upgrading VE Stock Speakers - How To

    Not a silly question at all! You are right. It is effectively the same thing however, swapping the connections is a neater solution and that is really the only benefit particularly if you ever want to reverse the mod and not make it obvious. Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 4

    VE Rear Aux Audio Input Location

    I used a 5A noise filter on the audio line. I picked it up from Autobarn and you simply plug in the 3.5mm plug and cable. It removed about 90% of it. Now with the volume right down you can just hear it but normally I don't hear it anymore. "E1 Clubby R8 when only an 8 will do!"

    Lowered Clubby with coilovers - Camber kit or no?

    Lowered Clubby with coilovers - Camber kit or no?

    I assume the guy mentioned it so as I get even tyre wear. Does that make sense? Suspension and alignment is probably my weakness when it comes to cars! Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD

    Lowered Clubby with coilovers - Camber kit or no?

    Hi all. I did a search on this but didn't really get what I was after. I got a wheel alignment on my Clubby after I lowered it using coilovers. The guy said the rears could do with a little more negative camber and it was at it's adjustment limits. Do you think I should get an aftermarket camber...

    Creaky sunroof? Tips to fix.

    Ok. It is roughly seven weeks and I noticed the creaking beginning to come back. It is a little earlier than I would have liked but it is still worth it given how much it sh1ts me. I reapplied the Wurth solution and it has corrected it again. I reckon if I had of got onto it earlier then the...

    Fibreglass bonnet and Walky scoop

    Sounds like a bad idea. Nothing worse than a job that goes wrong on a car. It would drive me nuts. Given how much it would cost to get it done properly I think I would rather spend the money on performance improvements, better rims or similar. Thanks for the tips!

    Fibreglass bonnet and Walky scoop

    That looks very nice and is why I am very tempted. My fear is that in an accident it will be very obvious and insurance could be an issue. It does look good though!! ;)

    E-Series HSV Rear Taillight Repairs - Awesome job done!

    As many of you have found repairing faulty LED's and other problems with E-series HSV taillights is not only a PITA but also a very expensive exercise if you take them to HSV and they try and sell you a new light. I recently had my taillight repaired by Motorsport Corporation Pty. Ltd. They...

    Fibreglass bonnet and Walky scoop

    Has anybody got any experience/opinions about this bonnet/scoop combo? I am thinking of having the fibreglass version painted in Nickel Silver to match my Clubby. Are there pitfalls in using or finishing fibreglass? Cheers

    Achilles ATR Sports 2 - Any good?

    That's exactly why I am asking the question. I am currently running Falken 452's and am curious about how much a compromise the ATR's are. Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD

    Achilles ATR Sports 2 - Any good?

    Thanks for the replies guys. It sounds like they get the job done without being Falken's or Bridgestone's which might be enough for now and help me get those 20's! :)

    Achilles ATR Sports 2 - Any good?

    That's a good price. I will need 275/30/20 and 245/35/20's. My first quick look prices them around the $750-800 mark.

    Creaky sunroof? Tips to fix.

    I have just applied 2 coats of the Wurth product I mentioned above and like magic the creaky noises are gone! I couldn't be happier. Now the test will be to see how long it lasts.

    Thanks for the replies. Silicon spray was going to be my option if I didn't find anything else. I came across this and knowing Wurth products and their reputation I am expecting some good results.

    Just when I am driving along. I can also hear a similar creak in the door seals. Maybe some sort of rubber conditioner/lubricant might be a solution?

    Creaky sunroof? Tips to fix.

    My sunroof in my E1 Clubby creaks like a b1tch. It is obvious it is coming from there as all I have to do is apply a little pressure from both outside and in and it creaks. It seems to be coming from the seals on the glass rubbing on the seals around the frame. Can this be fixed/reduced? Is...

    Upgrading VE Stock Speakers - How To

    Hi. The stock speakers in your car would be 2 Ohm. This means they require less power to drive them than your new, 4 Ohm speakers. This explains why they are not as loud. The 300W and 20W figures you mention refers to the power handling of the speaker not how loud it will be. Loudness is...

    Unfortunately the stats don't lie. The U.S. is usually at or near the top of the analysis of gun ownership, gun deaths per capita etc. Does this mean that the U.S. has such a disproportionate rate of mental illness compared to the rest of the world?
