    Poor brake power after upgrade

    I feel like I got the same issue (still not resolved). When I push the pedal it feels like it bottoms out. Braking isnt that great and I find its worse at slower speeds. So far i've manually bled my brakes (multiple times), replaced the rubber brake lines (I wanted to upgrade to stainless...

    My new E3 GTS <3 I just got one

    Very nice GTS. My rear bumper on my SSV was the same with all the crap in it, i thought possibly could have been repainted in the open elements as it has black specs all within the white paint.

    Cat back or headers and hi flow cat

    I believe the most restrictive part was the airbox, I felt a difference in throttle response once changing to an vcm otr. catback i didn't notice any change besides the sound. Also if you are going to get a tune done i'd make sure you have a full exhaust done. I am currently modding my 09 VE...

    VE SS Full Exhaust / Fault Codes

    Do you think the mini cats spacer like this https://www.amazon.com/Minicat-Sensor-Spacer-Adapter-Extender/dp/B00CBKEC06 would help in not getting an error code. I'm looking into doing the same on my SSV but im unsure if these would work so ive been saving for the tune

    Ve ss exhaust crossmember plate

    I installed a 3" exhaust and had to makeup a bracket that dips down a bit to clear the exhaust. It still vibrates and rattles a little bit when i start the car up but goes away after that. It is alot better than the factory brace

    '09 White VE SSV

    Over the weekend installed some second hand SSSL rear springs and kyb shocks. They sat a bit low for my likely so I ended up getting some SSL springs to install in the rear which i'm really happy with. Also got my 6000k HID kit on order and should be here by the end of the week.

    Leather Seats

    Looking at buying some leather seats that have came out of a WH Statesman. Will they fit into my VY Acclaim? I know the passenger side will probably need to have wiring done just wondering if they'll fit and have no problems being wired up

    Ok Thanks, I'll try that out when the globes arrive early this week. It is seeing you can't even reach your hand from the bonnet to replace them. They make it so hard in the VF

    The "Which speakers should i buy" thread

    I know its a old thread but 6.5" speakers also fit in VY-VZ factory mounts. Has anyone put 5.75" or 5" speakers in the front of a VY. I'm currently looking at Rockford Fosgate Speakers for the front

    fuel flap release cable replacement and rear middle seatbelt

    With the rear middle seat belt i would check and clean it out. Sometimes dust and lint builds up causing it not to retract. I find using a compressed air can is the best way to clean the stuff out of it Cheaper than replacing the seat belt as well

    Would you buy a SS 04 VY with OVER 300,000km...?

    For 7k you should find a low km SS. I know you can get a VY SS over here in SA for around 10k with ~150,000km. Like other people said above you should try get it for around 5-6k

    HI What is the ride like in the new VF Sv6

    I found that between the SV6 and Calais the calais had a more comfortable ride so if its comfort you want i'd look into a Calais or Calais V

    Try rubbing eucalyptus oil into it. I had clips on my rear window from a louvre and it got rid of them. Otherwise a caramel wheel is another option

    What!!!!! No dvd player for the 2015 VF.

    I don't blame you for not using a CD or DVD. Its easier to just use a digital device such a usb plus you get to customize the music then and have more music on the one media device.
