    Stolen and found, what to do now?

    When i said i hope someone steal my car did you really think i meant that? If so then you need to socialize more. The car was stolen from bayswater (vic) and then found at ringwood which is 20 minutes away and left on the side of the road. I dont have pictures as of yet, they said i can have a...

    Ok that's what i like to hear. If the police were to find the culprits do they pay for the repairs on the car?

    Stolen and found, what to do now?

    Will do, the depo gave me a call and said i can come at 3pm to have a look but i cant touch anything because they are going to go over it for finger prints. They found a hammer and box cutter in the car which is not mine. Do you guys think they would be able to get prints off them?

    Stolen and found, what to do now?

    You really think its going to be that easy? Just imagine earning $350 a week and saving $4000 like that. When i get my next car which is probably going to be another year from now. The first thing thats going in is a alarm system. Rather spend $1000 on a good alarm then on upgrades.

    Stolen and found, what to do now?

    Nah no insurance, got in registered 2 days ago. I was also thinking about stripping it but i live in a unit with 3 cars in the driveway so i have no room at all to strip the car. At the moment i think im going to give it to the wreckers for $250. 2 weeks ago i bought it for $4000 and now...

    Front Rotors Glowing

    Thanks for the input guys, but i just arrived home and found the car missing the glass all over the road. Called the cops, they found the car and apparently all the front is caved in.

    Front Rotors Glowing

    Thanks for the info mate, when i checked the calipers today the pads looked brand new. I greased up the seals today so i hope that helps a bit. I dont think there is anything else i can do apart from buying a master cylinder.

    Front Rotors Glowing

    I HOPE TO GOD THIS CAR GETS STOLEN! Took it out for a drive after doing what i can to the front calipers. Now the engine light comes off and on, wouldnt have a clue where to start looking.

    Front Rotors Glowing

    Had a feeling it was the Master cylinder, was hoping no one would say that also lol. On the brake pads they have a metal plate on the side that does not touch on the rotor. Just wondering what they are for? Ill go get a master cylinder from Pick-A-Part tomorrow. Should i give it a crack of...

    Front Rotors Glowing

    Front Rotors Glowing

    Hey guys, I bought my VP about 2 weeks ago and since then it has been having problems with the brakes. After 20 minutes of driving the front brake pads touch on the disk/rotor and do not retract. I have lubed up the piston in both calipers and it made no difference, i am about to take the...

    Which engine do you prefer? S1 or S2 V6?

    My VN Calais had a S1 engine, it had a awesome take off. But it was slightly harder to find parts to suit a S1 engine. I now own a VP with a S2 which has a poor take off but great mid range. If i could change my engine it would be a S1.

    Bass Issue

    I pretty much have the same problem, always happens to me when i turn the volume up to much. People are telling me that a capacitor will stop it from doing that. Maybe your in the same boat as me mate.

    [VIC] VN Calais - Swap/Trade

    Bumping this thread, car is still sitting at front of my house doing jack all. still gets started every day but thats about it... Gave it a service last week, changed plugs, leads, tranny oil, engine oil. The only thing im taking from it is the sound system. open to all offers
  37. VPplayer

    Oh no

    Cannons don't suit Holden's what so ever, they look horrible and make the car look really cheap. But saying that i have never herd one on a Holden before and i am very interested on what they would sound like. A lot of people say they sound like crap, but still wouldn't mind seeing what they...
