Apr built, 2017 Redline, manual Sedan. Was my daily until a year ago and is now a weekender or monthly depending the weather.

Yep me too, one for diff and another for gearbox (manual).

Not anymore.

Went away last weekend with some friends. Here is a short video. Turn the sound up ;)

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza Sport. Good rim protection.

The x-force system I bought matched the spherical joint flange of my factory mufflers, so no issues their.

Thanks for the link to the stickers @Ron Burgundy . Extra ponies for sure ;)

Looks great, where did you purchase the sticker from. I wanna copy :p

It is in the tune. Go back to the place that tuned your car and ask to add. Most tuners remove or reduce for better fuel efficiency. When I had my car returned, I specifically told my tuner not to reduce the crackle n pops.

Every service for all my vehicles including the LS3 Redline, I sprqy the Subaru upper engine cleaner a day or so before oil change and I put in a bottle of Nulon Pro strength injector cleaner in the next full tank. Never had any issues when I had my Subaru's and with my current fleet of...

I switched to Penrite enviro + 5w40 when warranty ran out. No issues from what I can see/hear. Uses stuff all oil in between services. I noticed the 5w30 used a little more oil in between services. I'm also thinking about moving to penrite hpr 5w40.

Here are mine. Also have a Magnum Ute 1:18 on order. Ordered 2 years ago and still waiting.

I have a spare set of MY17 Redline TPMS to go onto my MY15 Forged Redline rims. Pic attached. Part no is 13598787.

Correct. The Century battery I bought came with a new vent tube and 2 x vent hole plugs. I just reused my original vent tube as it plugged straight in and the RHS hole was pre plugged.

When I poured the coolant from the tank into a bottle to re use, hardly any residue/sludge came out. The residue/sludge was stuck to the inside tank and cleaned up nicely. I had the same issue when cleaning the wife's mazda 6 overflow tank, it also had residue/sludge on the inside. Again it...

Thank you, long pliers worked. Fark, so much sludge/residue in mine.

How did you unclip the connector ? I wish to remove my coolant overflow tank to clean it but am stuck on that connector.

New tyres and wheel alignment. Highly recommended Trutrack in North Melbourne.

I fitted the same battery last month. Fits perfectly and has vent tube provision. The new battery came with a new vent tube but I used the original vent tube so didn't have to dick around.

I'm really happy with the Monroe GT sport shocks. Weather held of today and got a chance to do some spirited driving with some friends.

Take the pads out. Grab a tooth brush and clean the inside of the calipers, especially were the backing plates slide. Maybe all that debris is stopping the backing plates from sliding in. Just a guess, I always clean mine before putting in new pads. I also grease the side of the backing plate...

64kish. King springs were fitted a few months after purchase. Fronts shocks were fine, rears were shot. Monroe GT sports are designed to suit King springs, so hopefully all good. So far they don't feel any worse than the OE shocks. Going for a spurt up the mountain's next week to get a feel...

OE Rear shocks were shagged, so decided to change all 4. Lucky as my OE front strut tops had some cracks. Currently running Nitto Invo which I have absolutely loved. So much grip in the dry, surprisingly good grip in the wet but **** when ambient temp gets cold in winter. Can't get Invo's in...

It's been a while since last post. New shocks installed, Monroe GT Sport all round to compliment the SL King springs I already had.. KYB front strut tops with new bearings. Also bought some new boots, Bridgestone Potenza Sport.

Working 10yrs in Holden Engineering introduced me to a few people in the know. I take their word over google.

On motorsports and directors, torque vectoring is activated in performance and or track mode via the driver mode dial. VF2 redline, competition mode. What mode for the magnum as they don't have the driver mode dial or you have dial?

I have been told "yes" when competition mode is activated.

The bigger rear brake setup has allowed ABS/EBD callobration to use more rear brake to help pull the car up in low speed daily type driving situations. High speed stops, brake bias/distribution moves to the front like Revnev has pointed out. 360mm vs stock ss 324mm rear rotor. So the...

Ferodo make/made the OE front and rear brake pads (HP1000/1) for Holden OE Brembo calipers. 07871558 and 07871559 refer to the inner and outer side pad.

If u are in a hurry, file them down and use plenty of copper paste so they slide in/out without issues. If not take them back for replacement. OE Factory pads fit perfectly, have changed a few in the last year. I guess Aftermarket tolerances not as strict as OE.

Manuals sure do ;)

Ok. Still the dealer lied. FYI, the front end and rear end modules were built off-line by ZF and delivered to the assembly plant in sequence. They build to a build sheet. Theirs no way the ZF assembler would have said fck it and put on front Brembo‘s only. Anyway, as long as he is happy and...

All 2017 SS's came with HUD standard. From memory, 2017 SV6 also had HUD standard.

Sorry but that dealer told porkies. Holden did not have 6pot Brembo‘s on any Holden VF model. Post up a pic of it. Most likely has the CTSV 6pot brembo calipers.

Reflection Tuesday

No ticking since I done mine.

92287421 - used a different supplier to machine the rotors so part # change. If you want to be 100% sure, go to ur local Holden/GM dealer and get a quote based off your VIN. The quote will/should list the latest part #'s.

BREMBO Front Rotors - 92245928 x 2 Front Caliper bolts for Brembo calipers- 92139223 x 4 Rear rotors to suit brembo - 92287426 x 2 or 92287421 x 2 Rear caliper bolts for brembo caliper- 92139080 x 4. U don't have to buy new pin kits, just give then a good clean(scrub) and they can be reused.

Bendix was the brake pad supplier. PBR was the caliper supplier for V6 and V8 standard brakes.

They are the rear subframe bushes and are available to buy separately. I bought a set of the motorsport rear subframe bushes at the start of the year. I'll grab the part nos and post them up next time I go in the shed.
