Series one WH, wouldnt touch it. Series ones are prone to engine probs being the first of the gen IIIs put in the Holdens, Oil leaks and stuff. You will also have rear camber problems and need a camber kit fitted. And for the cloth interior yukk. Dont get me wrong the WH is a nice car but...

I know that sound, your strut top bearings are ****ed mate, if you get someone to turn your wheel while you watch your spring you will most likely see the actual spring move. Mine **** emselves because i had dodgy springs in it apparenlty, (I didnt know that till my mechanic told me) he put a...

ah sorry mate didnt pick up on that. I know my WH SII was smack on the legal height straight out the factory, dunno about yours though

the job was done by a mechanic. they had to put raised springs in the back to make it legal because of the gas tank.

in adelaide it goes by eyebrow heights, here they are. http://www.sasuspension.com.au/IB44-%20November%202004Long%20Version.pdf Frustrating that I cant lower my car below standard because they come out from factory right on the limit. and with a gas tank it is now 30mm too low with...

Try this buddy, should help. Maybe we can get a sticky on this too. http://www.sasuspension.com.au/IB44-%20November%202004Long%20Version.pdf Tried to add attatchment but was to big a file. This is the lowest your vehicle can go to pass defect in sa. I know cos mine currently has a...

I understand that that is why I was asking if there was another way.

I actually drove it around like that for 3 years before getting pulled over and he pulled me over for my friggen driving lights. I know 60mm sound really low but the statesmans have a really high minimum height which is actually the stand height they come out from the factory. I am not a hoon...

IN SA the cops have a full list of what is called eyebrow heights. I know this because I just got defected for my WH being 60mm to low. Now its raised and about to go over regency and looks like a friggen bus. Is there a way that I can lower it legally by getting it engineered or something...

I put slotted in my Wh and still have nothing but problems with it. I have machined them twice in 18 months and the old ones twice in twelve months. Trying to find an answer but every one tells me "its a holden thats why it does it." This is really ****ting me off as I would like to know what...

I had the same problem in my Sandman. Turned out to be the altenator, put a new one in and didnt have a problem afterwards.

If you got a stereo with rca outs on the back you just hook up an amp and sub in the boot and run the rca leads to the amp for the sound. If it doesnt have rca plugs then buy an amp with high level inputs and wire into that. If you get a four channel amp you can run the sub off 2 channels and...

If they do decide to defect you for it you have to get a shelf cut out from another car and weld it in place of the old one to get it off defect. Do yourself a favour scrap the 6*9s just use good 6 inches in the shelf and get a sub for base. will give you heaps better sound without the stress...

If your patient enough you will find a car with low kays. we just picked up a 98 vs statesman with 96k on the clock. most averaged about 150+.

Just wandering if there is an easy way to tell if it is sequential or not. We just purchased the car am picking it up on friday and it is a Statesmsan, series III 98 model. 5Litre Cheers guys

Sorry mate should have stated it before, Didnt think that it would be different just wasnt thinking straight. Cheers for the advice.

Was just wandering what economy you get out of the gas on the Gen III Any info would be great, Cheers

This is a very good statement actually. I remember when I had my HX Sandman I was doing a U turn when some one cut me off. So I thought good time to use the air horns to give this dick a lesson but didnt realise till it was to late that some poor older guy was riding his bike along the...

I personally would never buy a car with more than 150K on it unless it was an old car with project intentions. That when thing seem to start going wrong which is not why you buy a newer car in my opinion. You normally buy a newer car so you dont have to worry so much about the little problems...

Ive never noticed any difference and thats towing with the various fuels. I only put in premium now every now and then to give my car a bit of a treat but economy wise it never changed a thing.

Na mate that was my horn. I just disconnected the old one an hooked the wire into the relay to run the air horns.

What about in a vs statesman 5litre as this is what I got the quote on.??? Are they sequential or not. My quote was on a series two but we are now buying a series three instead will that change anything, Cheers.

Dont understand these people that want to make there commys look like statesmans. just as bad as the guys that put ss badges on an executive. If you want a statesman go buy one.

nothing with the parts sxc, mr, or miss in it those plates look so crap. or ones that claim your car is better or faster than everything else. Just my 2 cents.

I agree on that but Tyrepower in my experience are a bunch of tools who have no idea what they are doing. IE.. selling me rims for my old vqII telling me they fit no worries and then when I took them back because they were scrubbing on the inside walls of the wheel arch telling me, oh that...

I always go to the Mag Wheel and Tyre Centre on Prospect road just before you hit North Adelaide. Only prob I ever had with them was once they forgot to put my little chrome nut caps back on. But apart from that I think they are worth going to.

Ive been ringing alot of places lately and they have all told me that gas vapour injection is a waste of money if your car doesn't already use sequential injection for the petrol, which most have told me is vt onwards, (Could be wrong). They said that you would actually end up using more gas...

Just got more quotes. WH Series II gen3 impco system (vapour sequencial injection) $4350 v8 5litre vs Statesman, nga system $2400 He said that Holden or RAA dont recommend gas on either of these engines can cause valve problems and stuff but I wouldnt do it without an upper...

I got defected when i had the air horns on the VQII but the horns werent a problem as they werent musical. He asked are they musical horns, I said no and he went no worries and just defected me for what he pulled me over for without even checking the horn.

i wouldnt put altezza crap on my car anyway. even the name annoys me. let the rice boys keep that crap i prefer quality. cheers for the info will have to follow it up when i fall into some money. Any idea how much i would get for two WH Series II Stato lights in very good nick. Cheers Guys

excellent guys this is what i have been waiting for. Now my next question is, Where is a good spot to get an impco system, Surely some one must be able to reccomend places that are helpfull to there customers and give them what they ask for. These shops are the ones that deserve my...

black ones are alright but clear tail lights shouldnt be on any commys, they look disgusting.

if you dont mind me asking, how much did they slug you for them. look killer

i just got mine cut in the WH at the shop that resprayed it before they painted it. Was performance paint and panel on saints road. Cant tell by looking just is missing the little side walls inside the exhaust cutout on the right.

yeah but there ford drivers. if they crash em off the road its not a great loss aslong as they dont kill anyone.. JK. That is just another good point to my argument. Why do they all need that much power??????? Just to show off and try and prove how good they are. Its just plain...

thats exactly right. I was devestated when i sold my vqII a few years back to get the WHale and found out that the ******** P Plater put into a stobie pole on the way home from the caryard that i traded it at. After two years of me keeping it in perfect nick. And that was only a six. They...

been running normal air horn for three years without a prob. Its a triple horn from motoquipe cost around 80 bucks, Just need to oil the motor every now and then, has a spot to do this. Pror to that i had another one that i ran for two years no probs still when sold car just couldnt be...

are these different to normal WH series II lights?? Whats the difference and how can you tell. Cheers

dont know bout you guys but when i do a search on here all i seem to get is all the threads scattered up in random order and it takes just as long to find something as it would to look at each post individually. i think if the search worked better then people wouldnt have to keep re asking...

This is Bad Advice. Cars that are in serious accidents get towed from the scene by the police to there impound yard. They are then fully inspected by road worthy officials before you get the car back, (this could be a month or more). Makes it a bit hard to race home and swap your rims...
