How does the leather look around the top, is it worn much?

It begins , people have looked at the votes and eyebrows are being raised as we speak, lol.

lol good stuff, no one seems to have picked up on what is going on yet. I'm leading by 3 votes.

Thanks heaps people, keep it moving :)

My local cruising page is having a "Car of the year Comp". Because i'm a member i'm automaticly an entrant in car of the year despite my car being a stocko commodore. Prize is a Car wash kit which i'm not really all that fussed about but i would love to win vote just to take the piss out of the...

Ghey, People started doing it to make it look like the proper cars that originally had it cause those parts were made of carbon fiber.

I've got a High res pic of a very detailed red orb, the picture was taken in a house that i lived in. Was never a very warm place and it was built where an old cane farm once existed. I believe the house is located where the cane cutters (Kanakas sp?) that once worked the farm lived/ died.

STOP using the word problem. Use a word like characteristic, distinctive or unique sound.

Yeah i say Neon cause some of these things can piggy back into the lighter socket. Also if it doesn't require the calibration (ie weight input) then that might be why the readings aren't so accurate. From memory the good ones require a bit of calibration.

Were you both using the same G tech unit. Did you recalibrate between the 2 cars. Ie Weight ( Means taking your car to a public weigh bridge) and was the unit mounted corectly. Do you think that both cigerette lighter sockets are working properly (ie no neon lights or double adaptors.)

Was the G-Tech properly calibrated for both cars?

No think it's just the way it is man. My Vt does it when coasting, Sounds quite nice with a good exhaust.

G-Tech Pro Comp The G-Tech Pro Competition has three solid-state accelerometers instead of just one. It also figures out engine RPM by reading the ingnition pulses in the car's electrical system. With the combination of X/Y/Z acceleration and RPM measurements, the device can measure an...

Real long shot, i had a new aircon unit installed a while back, guys that took the s/c belt off didn't put it back on in the same direction. They looked at everything also. They put belt grip and everything on there and thought it was a bearing somewhere. I asked them to take the belt off and...

When my friends and I played with G-techs in the past, i think they were able to measure RPM and so fourth based on what came through the lighter socket. You would enter your car weight and some other things. They were quite accurate, tested on the track of course.

*Bump* same question, also saw these on ebay and they look to be the shiz. Anyone tried this yet, got pics.

How old are your tyres. Had this a few times when tyres delaminate or get a bulge. You will mainly notice the wobble when at low city speeds then it will fade away as you go faster. I've seen it a few times in dunlop and goodyear. Your tyre fitter will be able to help you. Don't see the problem...

Don't half asse it man, follow the exact power plans that FIT lays out and you won't miss. Seen plenty of my mates half asse it and it results in more dollars down the track.

Pends on the music really. Sometimes noisy inside nothing out. Sometimes moderate inside and people 2 cars ahead can hear it. As long as it makes my rearvision mirrors flap like a f&^king bird i'm happy.

Seen it in the pos fords at work a couple of times. Think the gearbox isn't kickin down properly and it's stayin in top gear at low speeds and it just shudders like crazy. Haven't got the fords at work fixed yet so don't know how to fix. Will get back after they get back from being worked on. Is...

I've done this before. Gave it a slight rub back and then good clean with metho. Then used a heat resistant paint from VHT specified for engine covers or something. It comes in a good silver same as the original colour and it hasn't budged in over a year. Top stuff.

lol yeah i think it's the breather hose for the box man. I was asking my self the same question with my vt. Comes from somewhere down there and comes up behind the block near the wall right. If so it's very likely it's just the breather.

Yeah mate, excellent first car. Will teach you a lot a about commodores. Be warned though wouldn't bother spending too much cash on asphetics (sp) as it will really not be worth it. I would really make sure to keep it all in RW condition, when i sold my vp i had to fix the brakes, the lining on...

one white stich auto shifter $100 with base, is this sold yet and will it go into my VT auto alright.

Yeah i did the same thing with my VP Calais. Pulled up in front of the cop shop one night with the parkers on, police officer says to us "are those green park lights" my friend replys " NO, the headlights just have a bit of water in them". I thought to myself wtf is this guy saying, but the...

Hey i'll be visiting Townsville for a couple of nights this week. Probably the 7th til the 9th. Just wondering if there is any members on this site that frequent any of the local night spots and where these night spots are.

Yeah the car club that i'm in have had the same problem with there cruises where the cops pull the whole convoy up and RBT and check every car in the lot. So we avoid this buy handing out the cruise map at the start of the cruise instead of announcing it in the forums. We also had the problem...

Had a similar problem in my Vp Calais. I too couldn't find a fault so ended up just giving the top of the dash a good thump and the light went away for quite an extended amount of time, Would come back on probably twice a month. (Dodgy brothers Mechanical

this sounds like another querky thing some young fellas were telling me about the other night. They were talking about fitting turbos to the end of the exhause system (ie tail pipe area). This quickly raised alot of questions but they stuck to there guns claiming it was true. anyone heard of this.

i want one i'm gonna sound like a noob, but how do i get a kewl email address. I haven't come accross this option yet i don't think. edit : dun worry figured out where to go. have to wait until new sign ups are allowed i suppose.

Original Gone in 60 Seconds. Now that rocked, smashing the car unintentionally and then still going.

I've noticed considerable gains in fuel economy after installing K&N panel filters in my cars. Getting as much as 650 ks to a tank in my VP Calais and a bit over 600 ks in my S/C Vt.

My 98 Vt -V6 Supercharged This is my car when i purchased it late last year. Supercharged with hi-flow exhaust system. Still looks relatively the same. Alpine H/U and Jl Sub. Just installed the Alpine KCA-410i which sources the 40gb 4g ipod.

Yeah it's the light on the actual battery. Thanks

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but anyway. Just taking a look at my maintance free battery and found the red light is illuminated. This equals a check up. Has anyone had this happen and know what i'm likely to find when i go into the shop on Monday.

Since before my last car service i'd noticed a slight rattle coming from the engine when the airconditoiner is turned on. This was about 3000 k's ago. Last night i took a look under my hood and found that the airconditioner pulley seemed to have a light coating of oil on it and had sprayed thus...

i've had the rear bumper forced off 1 of my vps once and had to take it off completely and put it back on. From memory it was just 1 or 2 bolts that bolt through the boot and into the bumper and this holds it forward and stops it sliding backawards and off 2 sets of slides on the side. In other...

The cruise scene is slowly getting rebuilt. My group is currently made up of jap imports (4) and my commodore. But still better then nothing. Our cruise scene kinda died for a while with the anti hoon laws and the cops hassling us big time. Sign of the times i suppose.

Looks great, Getting the rest of the beamer to go with would have been nicer. What was the inspiration.

I know that the 2000 model AU Falcon (it's a work vehicle ie: no choice) When the engine is under strain and needs more power it will divert power away from the aircon to get some more power to the road.
