    Hi guys, Looking for some advice, i'm about to finish a traineeship in IT... For the past 2 years or so i've litterally hated my job. My interested are under a bonnet, not stuck behind a computer screen. My problem is i'm 22 years old now and can't see myself sticking through another 4...

    Pros and Cons of VY's?

    Ok the obvious CON: PETROL With petrol prices on nothing but a rise (hitting $1.70 in sydney today!) be prepared to pay through the nose. EDIT: But i wouldn't trade my vy commy for anything else :)

    Indicator issue

    Very trivial issue but I'd like to know if anyone has had this issue before. 2 nights ago i noticed my right indicator flashing 5x as fast as my left indicator.. How are the indicators timed? relay maybe? I know how minor this problem is but its really annoying and looks kinda silly..

    Damn Trucks

    Yeah lucky we were only moving at about 10km's. The damage isn't anything terrible. Nothing a small car couldn't of done with enough force. Too be honest im more annoyed with all the passing traffic that didn't stop or report it more so with the truckie that did it..

    Damn Trucks

    Of course they can go 150! i've seen it.. if not 150 VERY close. Don't stress, i TOTALLY agree with you. Australia needs trucks and theres nothing wrong with the people. Just the industry.. Truckies trying to keep up with their demands makes them do stupid and negligent things (running into...

    Damn Trucks

    What can ya do but? Truckies get so off on speed bombs the go drive at 150kms on a freeway.. what do you thinks gonna happen? I'm just glad there wasn't more damage than there is. let alone if i or the truck was moving at a decent pace.

    Speakers 6" or 6" 1/2

    Yeah 6.9" are great if your not gonna use a sub. But personally i plan on having 2 x 12" subs in the boot. No need for the bass from 6.9"s i'd rather go a set of coax 6.5" for the clarity and let the subs take over for the bass. that with a set of 6" splits at the front. nice even sound...

    Damn Trucks

    Luckily the damage isn't too bad.. just the back right quarter panel banged in and some real nasty deep scractches. i'll get some pics up later. I got some quotes at about $1200.

    Damn Trucks

    Unbelievable, :bang: I was driving in the middle lane of a three lane road where i was stopped at a set of traffic lights, When a truck decided he would much more enjoy being in my lane rather than his own. As the lights turned green, slowly started taking off (there was a truck in front of...

    Speakers 6" or 6" 1/2

    6" is standard for commodore but 6.5" is not hard to fit.. if they don't already. Mine fit fine but i had to drill new holes, i've heard of people having to cut the socket a tad wider but. Doesn't seem to hard

    How can I make my car low?

    I'd also like to know, how much has everyone spent on lowering their commodore? Is it still as comfy as ever to drive...

    Where to run amp power wire

    I would think it all depends where the fans are on the AMP. My old Boss amp had 2 fans on the bottom of it.. so i flipped it upside down... ran fine

    VY Berlina Interior light flashes when door is open

    I had the same issue with my old 1988 prelude. I replaced the interior light relay. That fixed it for me.

    Test drive results {VY Exec}

    Hi, I just bought my 03 VY executive four days ago from a used holden dealership. Now the kms are fairly high sitting at 170,000 but with full service history nothing breaking the 6000km mark. The body is imaculate, no scratches, dings, rips, worn marks in the interior or anything, and no...
