    e85 in my ve ssv?

    can run stock hoses. Injectors are a wise upgrade though. I just sold my ute, but ended up doing 70,000km's on Eflex and United E85. No runny oil, no water in oil, no corrosion in heads, no nothing..... just good times and saved a lot of $$$ in the process. Brilliant stuff, I will...

    how much kw does my car have

    rwkw don't mean much anymore with tuners strapping cars loose as all **** and sticking inlet temp probes in the oven to fudge figures. trap mph never lies unlike 80% of Sydney Dyno's :)

    Lowering my VE on VF SSV Staggered Redline Rims

    nothing, the offset is so high you could throw the thing on airbags and dump it till the chassis hit the ground. you will be fine. Get a wheel alignment once done. what you should consider is how it will effect your day to day driving experience. Can you get over the big ass speed hump at...

    Brake upgrade kits

    I got the brembo 4 pots and 355mm disc for $800 through Thompson Holden. Best mod I've done to be honest. With some QFM pads I nearly headbutt the steering wheel when jumping on the pedal.

    where is Pir4te ?

    it's about mechanical question as asking what tonight's lotto results would be.... it's simply impossible. Now if OP stated, "I put diesel in my SS and the check engine light came on" you could put 2 and 2 together and give an informed answer, I agree.

    where is Pir4te ?

    yep, this forum used to be about making your car go faster, stop better and handle. Now it's about plastidipping and "my check engine light came on... what could it be" G8board if you want to learn some stuff clubVE if you want to know how to wear a flatbrim and install neons in your boot.

    L98 stock cam needed

    head to your local tuner, they should have a boatload of them hanging around they would let go for a pineapple. and yes, a LS2 cam slots right in, but it's worthwhile tuning for it, easy 15rwkw and 30Nm there alone.

    DDV.1 vs Niche GT Sport wheels

    I have the ADV.1 5.1's, but meant for BMW offsets. You are half correct, the thing is, the FlowForged 1pc wheels from ADV.1 are actually made by MHT wheels (The ones who make Niche wheels) So in the end, the Niche and ADV.1 are the exactly the same wheel, just one has a 3k price hike because...

    The VE Commodore Wheel Fitment Guide**UNDER CONSTRUCTION**

    include something about spoke design, you can have the lowest ET in the world and still foul a big brake kit. Concavity, spoke protrusion.

    Can you match these rims

    BBS FI - BBS Rad: FI - Forged Line Looking at about 11k landed. Cheaper option is BBS CI-R BBS Rad: CI-R - Performance Line Approx $4k I can source both if you like, the FI comes in custom offset. CI-R typical 3 and 5 series offsets but can work for VE.

    under 100,000 and new engine needed

    My 65 year old next door neighbours VE SS dropped a lifter, I'm certain the car has never been over 2500rpm in it's life, serviced by Holden etc etc, Was around 30,000km's if I remember correct. I belt the tits off my ute and knock on wood solid as a drum still, no dreaded LS "ticking" yet...

    Stance project VE SSV (help & input required please)

    More to do with how low it was rather than the coil overs themselves, just becomes totally impractical, have to stop traffic in both directions to shuffle over a speedhump etc. The exhaust been 30mm off the deck probably **** me more lol, I wore the cat flange all the way down to the bolts, my...

    Stance project VE SSV (help & input required please)

    Pedders sponsored the car when I worked for Motor Magazine, I really should pull them out. They haven't blown on me yet, just the ride and dampening is terrible.

    Stance project VE SSV (help & input required please)

    I didn't do a thing besides rolling rear guards and grinding down the bumper tabs, didn't even relocate them. setup in that photo is with 5mm spacer on front and 10mm on rear, so effective 8.5 +23 and 9.5 +18 with 245/35/19 falkens. You couldn't drive it like that daily in my opinion, drove...

    Stance project VE SSV (help & input required please)

    Series 2's front guards are actually rolled to perfection from the factory, saved me some coin. I get what you are saying ducker, just the whole "scene" is flooded with gronks that actually make their cars totally unsafe for a certain look. Like a badge of honour the more sketchy it is. The...

    2012 sv6 e85

    I use it for the $$$ benefit. Only 11rwkw 20nm in it on my Bolt on only ute, specifically tuned for the fuel. saving 30-40 bucks a tank though.... hell yes. for the record, I use 1.5-2L/100km more fuel running Eflex over 98 octane. United is nice, but the servo in my area is actualy...

    VE Coilover Kits - Recommendations/Suggestions?

    I have pedders, wouldn't reccomend them but was through sponsorship. TEIN are ok, slightly oversprung for shitty roads. for outright performance and comfort, racing logic are the go. Was amazed at how good these were.
