Set fire to it and buy a decent car - you will be much happier!

Looks good Tom!

Not a DJ by any means, but I oft play around with the traktor software, and virtual DJ on the laptop - I have been looking at getting an NI S4 and some monitors for a while but haven't got to it. Whats the S4 like interms of user friendlyness for a noob?

Looks good Jacob, has nothing on my xr8 though ;-)

Bump it up... Need this **** gone, it's of no use to me now as I drive Fords :-P

Hi Guys, I recently sold the SS and still have a few parts laying around that I need to get rid off to fund some other projects I have going on. These bits are just taking up space, so they are going cheap or make an offer even. Car Stuff For Sale ITEM: Monaro "MCAI" Airbox Shroud...

I have the Monaro "mcai" shroud, if you want it you can have it cheap... PM Me if you want it! From what I understand it just hooks up to the standard airbox, and seals around the headlight.

Ahhh Here goes! Ok, so some may or may not remember the thread about my stolen VT SS Commodore which was pinched from the servo around the end of April Anyways the car was found with a little damage, and a truck battery sitting in the place of the original battery that was in it, the thieves...

Well after the VT SS was stolen, I went car shopping for something else to sink my time, money and effort into. After looking for a while I decided the offerings from the "blue oval" were much better at the same price point. So after test driving a few, I decided on a BA XR6, in "Blood...

It gets much, much easier as time goes on - the first night, and even few weeks were hell for us; we really felt like we were thrown in the deepend with a ball and chain around our ankles for a while! But it got easier, we've had ups and downs and everything has fallen into place... Just be sure...

Ok, so some may or may not remember the thread about my stolen VT SS Commodore which was pinched from the servo around this time last month (thread here)... Anyways the car was found with a little damage, and a truck battery sitting in the place of the original battery that was in it, the...

Post some pics?

Not something stuck in the tyre tread is it?

Very nice, but do yourself a favor and for go the SS Inductions Growler intake, they are not worth the money they are charging and normally take you backwards in terms of power. I would be suggesting on of the systems that utilise the stock airbox, and a GTS mafless pipe (i.e. Monaro style CAI)...

Sounds like a dodgy coil pack... Typically they will work fine, then die once the engine is warm until they get to a point where they just die fullstop (usually shortly after). Pretty cheap and easy to fix.

In a 5ltr 2000rpm at 100kph is the norm and work wonders for fuel consumption. The same trip at 3000-3500RPM, will chew through fuel and you will find the engine will get extremely warm. Probably wont do your gearbox any good spinning at that speed for that long. That said when engines are...

Twin turbo 396ci FTW!

Your coil is ####ed!.. Get a new one, or even a second hand one from the wreckers and you are good to go! Running the car without a lead, would have put undue stress on the coil causing it to overheat, and crap itself. I had a similar issue about a year ago, after changing the voltage...

My wagon does the same thing, I reckon your engine mounts are sagging / cracked.

Have you got spark at the coil? Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on? Two questions that need to be asked!

Don't do it mate, the Holden V8 is pretty pox in a VT when it's not modified, and given your V6 probably puts out just as much go, its really not worth it. Sell the motor (VT roller cam motors go for quite a bit), sell the box, sell the interior there alone you have at least 3.5k assuming it's...

The Manta bar and grill look awesome IMO! Still I reckon it needs lowering, if done right it shouldn't change the comfort level at all; I actually find my VT SS to be much more of a comfortable ride than the missus VT wagon.

No No I agree totally the security should not be responsible for peoples stupidity (including my own), but they should be responsible for keeping undesirable characters that are loitering at the service station away. I spoke to the assistant manager again today, who advised the character that...

The security guard is employed on night watch, he does patrols of the service station and forecourt, is it his responsibility to watch over peoples cars? Well no, but I would have thought it were his responsibility to move people on that are loitering. The night manager was much more helpful...

It is dependent on circumstances if what I read is correct - although the only references I could find were from the uk - where most policies actually have a clause specifically related to leaving keys in the car. Here it is more like the "driver must take all care and responsibility to minimize...

Yeah, lapse of concentration... BP Coomera is probably the busiest servo between the coast and Brisbane bar BP Stapylton/Yatala, there was at least 15 people filling up, more in the vicinity; got him clear as day on CCTV and two witnesses, one of which was filling up behind me!!!... According to...

Cops reckon there is no visible damage, I am just hopping they haven't put a piston though the side of the block, or dropped the auto's guts all over the freeway. Reckons it looked like they were playing with battery terminals, and the fuse box... so hope there isnt anything too wrong with it!

Guys car was recovered this morning on the M1 southbound at the Palm Beach exit, the coppers tell me there appears to be no visible damage but believe the car might have broken down as the bonnet and boot were left open. The bastards have taken my laptop, and bag which were in the car at the...

Vehicle has been recovered, was found on the M1 southbound at Palm Beach... Sounds like they have broken down as the boot and bonnet were left open, and made off with my laptop.

[STOLEN & RECOVERED] Cúl's VT SS Commodore Hey Guys, and girls - if you see my Blue VT SS driving around with the registration plate RUJ876 (Victoria) or an old brown rego sticker, please contact myself on 0432 117 565 or police link on 131 444 - the vehicle was stolen at 9:30pm from Coomera BP...

Vehicle has been taken off the market as it has been stolen, and recovered... I am likely to relist it once I can ensure its ok (I'd hate to sell someone a dodgy car).

Hey Guys, and girls - if you see my Blue VT SS driving around with the registration plate RUJ876 (victoria) or an old brown rego sticker, please contact myself on 0432 117 565 or police link on 131 444 - the vehicle was stolen at 9:30pm from Coomera BP tonight.

Bump that **** up!

The issue is more related to camber than tyres; my SS does, or did the same thing in the wet especially if it were a standing start on a hill. The shitty camber means less tyre area is in contact with the ground, making it more difficult for the wheels turning to get traction. In regards to...

It could be a number of issues, incorrect spark plugs, too much timing advance at the dizzy, compression issues, carbon build up, **** fuel, etc... Jason is a pretty honest bloke, and I know for a fact he is more than happy to fix up tunes that might be a little off; if I were your mate I'd be...

Yeah it does a good job of ####ing piston tops - I've never had an issue with it running 95RON or 98RON but I always run on 98RON anyways. Odd it had an issue, did foamy do a re-tune on it (i.e. was it sent back)? I know with mine it went back and forward a few times until we got the shift...

What fuel where they running, did they up the timing advance as well as the foamy tune? Lol. Mine "pings" like a raver s!^t munching pills on anything under 95RON! (Mind you I asked foamy to go nuts on it)

Looks good, I would however keep the rear muffler on for now; my 5ltr only has front mufflers and drones a fair bit at 2000rpm on the freeway, I am told the rear muffler, or even a rear resonator cuts this down a fair whack... Unsure if they have improved but the MACE tunes are said to be "ok"...

Thanks heaps!.. I left the spoiler on, gives it that sporty look I reckon; plus I reverse into my car park at work and without the spoiler its real hard to tell were the boot ends (car park is in a basement up against a wall). The VT SS front bar is alright, while I don't mind the VX SS shape...
