    Repco returns on installed parts?

    ^ This. Solid is cheaper than Hydraulic. Mackay make both solid and Hydraulic. I always warn customers when wanting the solid mounts. They are cheaper, but they can expect the issues you are finding. If you were warned of it they might not give a refund but if they didn't then a refund...

    Future of Commodore driven by you

    Re-badge the Cadillac CTS and CTS-V as a Commodore and it will sell, maybe not huge but it will sell. Re-badge a FWD 4cyl as a Commodore and it will fail. Pretty simple to me.

    Best way to clean VS SS Seats

    Being a VS SS I assume they are fabric if original factory seats. I use Meguiars Upholstery Cleaner on all interior stuff. From a quick wipe over to getting stains and dirt mars out. To get out stains and marks out I use a stiff brush to clean it as well, works wonders. CARPET & UPHOLSTERY...

    7Mate TV Coverage of Aussie Drifting

    Yep as Airstrike said. It's a 2.2 now, not sure what turbo. I don't know turbo styles and numbers that well and they don't mean much to me, lol. All I know is it is a quick little car. I think it's a Garret GTX3071 running about 20psi, if that means anything to you. Facebook Page -...

    7Mate TV Coverage of Aussie Drifting

    The guy in he wagon is a mate of mine and every event I see him at is always entertaining. Everyone loves that wagon. Another mate of mine tunes it, has a stroked SR20 in it and makes about 350rwkw. Pretty insane little beast, surprises a lot of people.

    Coolant Overflow

    I have done the Rare Spares one ages ago but nothing yet. I had noticed that Dayco were getting into the overflow bottle market some time ago as we started to stock them at work. I keep checking to see if the VR/VS ones are listed every couple of weeks but nothing yet. Maybe we should start a...

    I think the Microphone and Module is all you need. It's been a while since I did it but I am almost certain that is all you need.

    It's been a while since I looked at this thread. Not heaps to update. I'm still playing with the thermo fan switch trying to get one to turn on at the right time. I think I finally got it but it leaked because there wasn't might for the thread to bite into. So got a mate to weld a flat piece of...

    Marker pens

    White ones? Burson sell them, they are a paint pen. Or tyre marker pen is the other name. Not sure if it's the same type.

    Hooker mufflers do a great job of silencing a car. But unfortunately it could be hit and miss too. At least you know the varex will do it first time no issue.

    VR Senator with LSx454

    Maybe use the Bi-Modal switch like the VE HSV has for the same function. But probably best having the switch hidden to keep the boys in blue happy and the engineer too. Always finding out something new from this thread. Top work mate.

    VR Senator with LSx454

    Congrats mate, well done. I would of been surprised if it didn't pass to be honest. Are the Varex mufflers legal? I was under the impression they weren't. But that might be a matter of it being engineered too I guess.

    URGENT- trying to order a tie rod end but need to know if its 2.0 course or 1.5 fine

    Burson will have the Roadsafe numbers I quoted on shelf.

    URGENT- trying to order a tie rod end but need to know if its 2.0 course or 1.5 fine

    CV Joint? As for a Tie rod end. TE750 is for VN - Series 1 VT TE3049 is for Series 2 VT - VZ These are Roadsafe numbers. Be careful that your rack has been changed to a Series 2 if it's a Series 1 car. Because of the age of the car anything it possible.

    Looks awesome with the filters on too. The backing plate and bare trumpet look good, the orange contrasts well against the bare alloy.

    VR Senator with LSx454

    Oh that makes sense then, lol. Surprised your exhaust hangs that low. But like you said nothing the spanner can't fix once it's done. That intake looks great, shame it will hide the ITB's.

    VR Senator with LSx454

    Hahaha, thanks. Thought they would be able to engineer the height for you too. As long as it has 100mm of clearance and not be reduced by more than one third of that specified by the vehicle manufacturer. My mate got his ride height engineered when he put coilovers in his car.

    Resto Project - VS Charged Ute

    Use some chrome tape/pin striping for the rear window. I reckon it would look good. No one that I have seen has done it before. Keep up the good work mate it's looking good.

    304 proposed location of second thermo switch for au Thermos in vr ss

    I wanted this and I have put a sensor in the thermostat housing. Problem was when I put the 95 degree switch in there it stayed on pretty much all the time once warmed up. I went one more step up and it was better but still on far to frequently, switching on at a little over 1/4 on the gauge. I...

    Had a quick flick through the mag when I got home after work. I look forwards to reading the article. As you have said all along, you have built this car to how YOU want it not what others want. In my opinion you have done a great job with this build and could only dream (at the moment anyway)...

    VP V8 surging while idiling and running terrible until the engine is warm

    I would think Idle Air Control Solenoid is playing up or sticky. The IAC is probably used more when cold (like a choke on old carby cars) and when it's warm probably not really as necessary.

    I was thinking the same thing. I don't mind the look of the boxes but just trumpets is good too.

    Any Drifters here?

    Sorry I meant in comparison to Hayden's ute. Hayden has coilovers and that is it. I have met and spoken to both Nick and Martin several times at many of the ADGP events as I was helping one of my mates who competed in the event both last year and this year which just finished. Both are great...

    Any Drifters here?

    Jacks car is pretty good for what it is. Not really set up but the guy can steer. He is going to do more to it, he wants to get more grip out of it and speed too. Have a look through my Youtube channel I have a few videos on there of him. Here is a good one -...

    Anyone ever used chemiweld

    Cargo metallic seal up and we now stock one called Alumaseal. I sell a bit of both, even Chemiweld too. Never used either product myself but I guess it works because I keep selling it.

    Found it. The grey surround had to be cut but if you buy it from a wreck make sure to take the grey part as they are cut from factory. If you need better pics or measurements let me know as I have a spare radio surround and radio surround side panel too.

    VR Senator with LSx454

    Yes you can fit it. The lower section around the shifter will need to be fitted to otherwise it won't match yours. I have some pics in my thread of it I'll see if I can find it for you and post it up.
