    Corey's VX Clubsport R8. Manual, coulsons, sunroof, 20's

    Had a bit of a mishap with a traffic island a while back.. Combination of wet weather, female fueled anger and a bit too much right foot. Smashed both side skirts, rashed all 4 wheels and bent a couple suspension arms in the front left. Everything but the wheels were fixed within a week. But...

    Achilles ATR Sport VS Hankook Ventus K114 or K110

    Either your car must make some serious power or youve been wearing a right shoe made of lead.. I run Atr sports all round on my clubby with 290rwkw and a heavy clutch and have no issues in the wet whatsoever with normal driving

    VP Calais IRS Camber Kit

    I got my Pedders kit for $180 and did it myself. I'm a wheel aligner for bridgestone and the Pedders kits are by far the best for range of adjustability. Got my statesman from 5 degree a side of camber and 12mm toe in down to just under a degree of camber and a range of toe from -4mm to +8mm total

    VP Calais IRS Camber Kit

    The Pedders kit is the way to go, had very good results with it in my old VS statesman. Expect to pay a lot more than what the kit is worth for installation also if you can't do it yourself. It's a bitch of a job.

    Took the clubby out to the strip tonight! Awesome fun! Ran a best of 12.9 @ 113mph . Running 235/40/18 second hand Bridgestones I had lying around at work haha. Definitely going to invest in some slicks to try and get that time down a bit more :)

    Tyre pressure 215/60/R16 95V

    I sell tyres as a job and I nor any of the fitters would ever pump tyres up to Max pressure unless the customer specifically asked for it. That size tyre always 34-36 except if towing or country driving as said above

    Picked up some pacemaker 4-1s for the clubby. Got them off a mate thats just turbo'd his vx clubby so obviously didnt need these anymore. Giving them a cleanup and a fresh coat of paint and will probably put them in Saturday after work. The crawl to 300rwkw has begun haha.

    Corey's VX Clubsport R8. Manual, coulsons, sunroof, 20's

    Was playing around with some plasti dip today and did my rear clubsport badge and one of the side 'R8' badges. I love how the clubsport badge came out but wasnt too impressed with the R8 one, thinking about just doing the clubsport badges on my side skirts and leaving the R8 badges on sides and...

    Longest Lasting Tyres

    Not always true, I find some 'cheaper' tyres such as federal and Achilles perform just as well if not better than some more expensive brands..

    Cost to replace water pump? VS V8

    It took me an hour and a half to replace my water pump, refill and bleed cooling system. It's not a hard job and it is not a time consuming job. Sorry to say but you've been jipped.. I'd be kicking up a stink for sure. Go get a few written quotes and ask your mechanic to explain where your $700...

    What are VYs' wheel alignment settings? (toe, camber, caster, axis)

    No worries :) They'll be fine for your 16s. I run my VX at similar settings and I have 20 inch wheels.

    What are VYs' wheel alignment settings? (toe, camber, caster, axis)

    Also minutes are each increment of a degree. 60 minutes to a degree

    What are VYs' wheel alignment settings? (toe, camber, caster, axis)

    If you run your commodore at 0 toe your gonna have a bad time.
  39. VRSS

    What are VYs' wheel alignment settings? (toe, camber, caster, axis)

    They will drive well and wear tyres well between 0-1 degree front camber, 1.5-3mm total front toe in. If your rear cambers are below -1.5 degree your doing well. With roughly same toe settings as the front. They will always wear inner edges on the rear, regular rotations are a must
