LPG is a good way to go from a performance standpoint because LPG has a higher octane rating than petrol, this means you can modify the engine to run a higher compression ratio or run forced induction at higher boost than an equivalent petrol powered engine. The only reason LPG has a reputation...

The Holden factory service manual does mention two different starter motors but the difference is only between auto and manual and V6 and V8. All V6 auto starter motors should be the same according the Holden service manual. No oil will come out by removing the starter motor and you will...

White LED parker bulbs should be brighter, although I havent tried them myself so I cant say for sure.

Show me a house under 200k thats not out in the middle of nowhere. It just doesn't happen. The problem is that all the people overcommitting themselves have driven the house prices so high that most people on an average income cant even enter the housing market without overcommitting...

The packages were probably wrapped in condoms and swallowed. That is one of the most common methods used. But the drug carrier risks death doing this as the rupture of just 1 of the condoms will put enough of the drug in their system to kill them, but a lot of people are willing to do this...

I think owning a Volvo says a lot about a persons driving skills. Im sure most of them KNOW they are **** drivers so they buy the safest car you can get because they know the crash from their crap driving is inevitable and they want to survive it by being in a cocoon because they know they dont...

BP like to be sneaky here and dont sell standard unleaded anymore but sell E10 at the regular unleaded price and pocket the difference, rip off bastards.

There will be no major shift away from oil as the worlds predominant transport fuel. The price will just continue to increase until we cut consumption. All the so called "alternative" fuel sources will continue to be bit players for quite a while yet. We currently have no alternative fuel...

The top culprits would be the oxygen sensors or leaky fuel injectors. I would replace the o2 sensors anyway if you havent done them recently as they often get overlooked when replacing servicable items (o2 sensors generally last around 80,000 to 100,000km)and can lose their effectiveness...

If there is such a long waiting list for harlequin paint it would probably be the reason they wont insure as they cant guarantee prompt repair in the case of a claim.

If you are worried about depreciation I wouldnt buy a Falcon as they depreciate very quickly. If you were assessing the Falcon vs Commodore based purely on resale value then the Commodore usually wins out. If you want low down torque then a diesel would appear to be your only real option that...

Australia's credit system doesnt record if you have been on time with payments or if you have payed early, only the fact that the loan has been payed in full or if the loan is more than 60 days in arrears. Once the loan becomes more than 60 days in arrears this stays on your record for 5 years...

I feel sorry for the person/people he raped who have probably said nothing and lived with it because they thought they wouldnt be believed if they said a cop raped them.

Just like the pokies and casinos. :whistling

Hahaahahaha. :rofl::rofl::rofl: Like any govt would actually change strategy, that would be an admission that they stuffed up. Nice idea but wont happen. I can already see what the govt response will be, same as always, harsher penalties. Which of course wont work and will result...

And what would you do in that situation. Run the red and get the ticket you didnt deserve or get rear ended and ruin the next few weeks of your life trying to get your car repaired because some idiot was tailgating you. Idiots that tailgate should get larger penalties than people doing 5...

A sane driver (which we dont see many of these days because of the singular focus on speed) wouldnt be going fast in those circumstances where this is possible. Speed limits are important but saying that doing 5 or 10 over in ANY circumstance is dangerous is plain wrong. If I have a clear road...

Just shows how stupid the general population is getting. The speed limits we operate under are the same limits that applied when cars had drum brakes all round and leaf springs. Now with discs all round, ABS, radial tyres, stability control, etc doing those same limits are hard for some people...

It seems to be getting very hard to find people thru classifieds and job adverts these days. Weve been having difficulty for a couple of years now finding suitable employees thru adverts so weve started churning thru people from the labour hire companies (Adecco, Skilled etc) until you get a...

Same here in Ipswich. The worst hoons here are in EA EB Falcons. Infact I saw one one time hooning around with a nice big impression of a power pole in his side door, he must of hit the pole pretty hard as the depression was about half a foot deep but he was still thrashing the car around...

Ouch. I feel sorry for you. It was bad enough when I got one of my molars out a couple of months ago. I was eating custard, yoghurt, jelly, ice cream, mash potato, milk. Kept me going OK.

Going by the screen shots it would probably be cheaper for me to just buy a ps3 than upgrade my computer to the specs required, and my computer isnt even that old. Its already too old for Call of Duty Modern Warfare. :cry::cry: I prefer to play strategy, simulation and FPS on a PC and...

But where does it stop? As much as we say that every life should be saved we have to accept a certain number of people will die or get injured doing certain things or emulating certain things. If we were to truly accept as a society the premise that we should do everything possible to save...

Well if shows like top gear are not responsible why censor it. Censorship is something not to be treated lightly and should only be used where it is absolutly nesessary. If we censored everything that could be potentally dangerous or portrays negative events that hypothetically could be copied...

^^^ See what I mean. Hooning has existed for DECADES its not a recent phenomenon caused by the media. The problem is somewhat exacerbated by cars being a lot more powerful than in the past but is not going to cease by killing off any hooning portrayed in the media. Older people used to do a...

^^ Agreed. They would never get away with doing the stuff they do on Top Gear here. They drive on public roads FAST (god forbid). The whinging minority in this country is ruining it for all us normal people. They cant even show anything remotely entertaining here or the whingers bleat about...

One of the ladies I work with told me her mother drove thru the front of her own house because she put the car in drive instead of reverse. Her reactions were so slow she ran all the way thru the front doors of her house up to one of the internal walls of the house and continued accelerating...

Here is a funny one about the Howard govt from Clarke and Dawe. :rofl: YouTube - Clarke & Dawe Howard Govt Quiz

You will stuff the pump as it will be spinning with no fluid in it. You might not stuff up the steering rack as it should retain some fluid to help lubricate it and the rack parts dont move very fast.

Just got promoted two weeks ago from Warehouse Manager to being Warehouse Manager and Purchasing Officer. :w00t: The previous Purchasing Officer wasnt working out and got the flick. I used to be manager but still did all the normal warehouse duties, picking, packing etc and was in command of...

I drink Red Bull if im feeling tired behind the wheel. Normally gets me another two hours of drive time.

The V6 commodore has the big advantage of fuel injection. Its amazing how much difference it makes compared to the old carby cars. Im getting the same mileage out of my commodore as I was getting out of my previous car (RA60 Celica) which was a 2ltr carby. Well my V6 has the 85 ltr tank on...

Yep, its a VP one. Same as the VP one in my VN. :) VP ones look a lot better I reckon.

If I understand correctly the old system of different awards and EBA's for different businesses has been scrapped and the new pay scales system covers each occupation on a regional basis and is applicable to all businesses employing an employee doing that occupation in that regional area...

Minimum wage for that job as specified under the Award system or the national minimum wage? If you could point me to the specific section in the Workplace Relations Regulations because I cant seem to find it because it doesnt seem to be written in english just lawyer speek.

if speeding kills so many people and speed cameras arent revenue raising then why hasnt the road toll gone down by a significant amount since the introduction of speed cameras. Either nobody gives a toss and everyone is still speeding anyway (not likely) or speeding isnt responsible for...

I think if you get done by one of these then you should also be charged with driving without due care and attention because you cant be paying too much attention to the road if you dont notice the half a dozen signs.

About 10L/100km. Half city, half highway.

The probably have set them up like that on purpose, wouldnt surprise me at all. Maximizes profit for Govt Pty Ltd.

I would say that would be the plug used on American cars. Might be possible to rewire it to the correct plug but would probably be risky as you might blow up your computer if you wire it up wrong. Your best bet is probably seeing if you can get a refund.
