    cheap extractors?

    mate do not waste your time and money on that crap. Only cheap and nasty might last 2 years if your lucky. Get a set of pacemaker extractors into 2 1/2 inch pipe with a straight through mercury muffler and then straight out the ass end.:thumbsup:

    How can i make it sporty?

    If you just want a nice legal look. Then buy a set of 17 inch mags, as cheap as $1000 - $1500 will get you some nice ones with rubber. Then upgrade your suspension to the FE2 set up, its about an inch lower then standard and still very smooth and plenty of clearance and sits nicely. Dark tinted...

    Time for the Harmonic Balancer.

    Yes, its time to replace the balancer. While i am at it I am also going to replace the crank angle sensor as well as the crank angle seal. Can any one suggest anything else to do while i am playing in that area? Its a VR 3.8L auto.:thumbsup:

    No First or Overdrive in VR

    I noticed the other day when i serviced my gearbox that when you leave the speed sensor unplugged it does the same thing (no frist or overdrive). So that would be something to check too. Maybe its the sensor, wiring or maybe a fuse that is buggered. Never trust a mechanic that you don't know...

    Rear muffler

    Not too sure on the old vr's but i did this on my vx when i had it and it sounded crap, but then again the old buick is a better sounding engine.
  20. djlingard

    Any ideas

    Well the Supercat muffler finally cracked out on the vr. Always loved the sound of it with 2.5 inch pipes and no resignator. Rang muffler shop today and he wants to replace the drum (keep existing pipe) and fit a 2.5inch straight through Mercury drum on it, as he reckons they are better quality...

    VR Suspension Question

    Lowered, generally = Rough Ride, Just think the lower it is the stiffer the shocks have to be to prevent the car from bottoming out and causing severe damage....

    VX acclaim: Problem with a dealer PLS help

    Just looking at the car it has after market mags wheels on it it also has a big exhaust tip and i would say they have just changed the boot for looks. Probably just some one trying to do up a mock berlina. Most young commodore drivers get the vx berlina garnish to get closer to the clubsport...

    VN Series 2 - VR Bellmouth

    I just removed the bell mouth from my 93 vr acclaim with 150k on the clock runs a lot better smoother gear changes and a lot beefier sound through the 2 1/2 inch system. also have k&n panel filter so maybe that has something to do with it. My mate tried it on his 93 vr acclaim with 300k on the...

    Roll KMs back (instrument cluster)

    Do it the legal way and take it and the car to Holden. That way too you have the receipt to prove km/s when you decide to sell or when authorities pick up on it..

    What would you do with $10,000 ?

    I agree with others who would invest it. Yeah its nice to have a flash looking car but every time you spend $1 on it you lose 99c in market value. Well not exactly but the point is cars cost you money they dont earn you money. Spend 10G on a deposit for house or something like that. Never spend...

    Just a quick Q.

    Sorry it did come out a bit harsh I admit. Just was in a bad mood this arvo. But im sure most of you know what i mean with people buying cars and thinking thats all they have to spend, as i admit I get tied up with money sometimes too. Sorry again did not mean it that way. :thumbsup:

    Just a quick Q.

    If you dont have money to top up a gearbox you should not own a car!!! Cars do cost a lot to keep running and its young kids with no money that destroy all our older commodores.

    VT Temp problems?

    One will kick in to cool your car the other is for your air-con. You may have to bleed you cooling system to remove any air clots as well.
  32. djlingard

    New VR concern!

    Check your exhaust mounts as well. Probably something simple that will cost ya 5 bucks or so.:thumbsup:

    is this car worth buying?

    Dont bother spend the bit of money and fix your car. For all you know you could drive the white one for two months and it could s#!t itself. At least you know whats wrong with yours. Plus most mechanics have crap cars believe it or not, cause they are sick of working on cars the last thing they...

    Couple Of Q's

    As far as I know Fibreglass bonnets are not illegal. As the bonnet is not a main support. Just the same as your front bumper!
  38. djlingard

    Serv error. VTII won't start. HELP.

    Check your fuse box under the bonnet give everything a good wiggle. A mates vt ss had this problem and turned out to be a loose connection.
