Ouch! Expensive error

Castle Hill exhaust did mine, there was certainly an improvement but it still can't break traction, they tell me that they can only remove so much throttle lag seems no one has been able to make the throttle act the same as the old ecotec non fly by wire throttles ........ the computer still...

Even tho u think u r in control of ur vehicle, ur not, u just make suggestions to the computer using the accelerator pedal the computer then decides what position to open or close the throttle butterfly......... this is the most frustrating part of the alloytec motor .......... I used to love...

Had the vcm flash / tune although not done a on a Dyno on a Crewman Cross6 (AWD), performance was better & fuel economy slightly better but not a lot. It is still a slug from standstill but it can now break traction on a corner, but I think that is because the traction control was backed off. It...

I guess buying wheels off eBay should be banned....... Sadly there are too many laws ......... but these laws are usually bought about by accidents ..... and how to prevent reoccurrence ....... except the speed rule ..... that just generates too much cash ....... Might have to put my wheel back...

Drive By Wire Give me a cable any day if it gets rid of this lag. I hate being beaten by a loud 4 cylinder getto blasters. That never happend in the VS. What have I got to do to get this VZ to accelerate as quick as the VS?

You guys are squeezing out some good power there. I have a new Crewman Cross 6 with the 170 odd kw motor. It has bugger all torque down low where I need it especially as I will be towing a bit with this thing. Any ideas how to improve the low down power. It is so slow to get up to 4500revs then...

I have a Crewman Cross 6 Auto AWD with 2,000km I have just got 400k/m per 68l (size of tank) this equates to 17l/100km (the computer creeps up to 14.8l/100km) which is better than my previous figure of 18.8l/100kms. The computers calcs show better consumption than actual. I am a bit of a lead...

Is there a chip available to improve fuel economy & low end torque, no point having hight kw's if it takes half an hour to get up there. I want more power down low where I use it every day not just occassionally when it kicks in after you are over the legal speed limit.

My V6 alloytech is an auto AWD btw.

I haven't tried to restart it once it is running that seems the only advantage to me, these things start so quickly anyway don't see the need except saving the starter crashing into a running ring gear.

The ultrasonic field behind reversing sensors is a balloon shape. If you can mount the sensor a bit lower or a bit further back this should solve your problem. You cannot mount them too low as it will squark by detecting the road. I fitted sensors to my aftermarket Chrome bumper/ towbar & ran...

Gas Guzzling V6 Alloytech I have a Crewman Cross 6 the computer tells me lies, it tells me 14.6l/100km but I have just managed my best economy to date & it is 68l/400km that is 17l/100km my previous calculation gave me 18.8l/100kms. This thing drinks fuel life a V8 has less pick up than a VS...

Alloytech Motor I have just bought a Crewman Cross 6, with the Alloytech 170 - 175kw motor. I get 18.8l / 100km around town, yes V8 consumption, maybe the vehicle has a little to do with it being AWD but this thing has no go off the mark. My wifes VS eats it for dead as far as performance &...

Well now I know why my VZ has throttle lag. My wifes 145kw VS is quicker off the mark than my 175kw Cross 6 but the VS had a tendancy to stand still and spin one wheel. In fact I thinks I feel safer in my old VG 127kw ute with LSD punching into a gap in traffic. I also think the economy is...

Rust will happen even if the car never drives in the rain with mild steel. To do with the heat & humidity. Even brand new cars do not use mild steel, they use alloys &/or coating of exhausts.
