dont let the wife drive if she hits gutters - simple fix

it should be done at the drum properly

remember that the maloos are heavier than the ss, so you might not get much of a drop why not put king springs in or similar, last time i checked 130 per pair, cheap as chips...

the cam in a L77/76 is also slightly smaller, this doesnt change the outputs of a stock car, but when tuned the L77/76 will see about 10rwkw less than an L98

no fits all hsv wheels, and some HSVi wheels, but not SV6, SS, or SSV

it takes roughly 1.5-2hrs, so no more than $150-200 (a little more with the braided lines)

^^ agree!!

Im sure there are some floating around, but this has been specifically developed for the VE by a reputable company... Other than completely worked & custom built engines, I havent seen any VEs on any of the forums with aftermarket throttle bodies, and maybe one or two with manifolds, so this...

isnt the fast manifold 102mm, and also hasnt the fast manifold been shown to have little or no gains (no offence) it doesnt look like the VCM throttle body & manifold are sold separately either Im sure the fuel rails just fit on as normal, although yes they appear to be missing in the photo

Just saw this this afternoon: 108mm Manifold - Suit VE - VCM Performance Online Store VCM have developed a 108mm throttle body & manifold setup for the V8s. Complete replacement unit, has a larger coupling to fit onto your VCM OTR. On the 'other' forum which is down at the moment, VCM showed...

wishlist now includes bilstein monotube shocks & adjustable swaybars...

Photo Update from the drags & a track day that Ive been to recently:

Yeah no offence but 780 is way too high for 255rwkw, I dont beleive it, not sure whether its a typo or faulty dyno reading... anyway its not the dyno figure that matters, I have 250rwkw and have run 13.0 @ 112mph and Im not even a good drag racer!

they will charge you heaps for the parts, if you want Holden to install them just supply the parts to them

Ah ok yeah the way they worded the sentence looked exciting, guess not...

the MY12 Redline apparently comes with 4-pot rear Brembos as well, so when that arrives we can do the rears too! Although the new ones will be red, and most of us will have silver fronts...

^^ only at night

coilovers can be adjusted to be softer, and $2000 coilovers arent good enough for track work the novelty of coilovers is the adjustability

thats interesting because the L77 uses AFM collapsible lifters and has a slightly different cam than the L98 whethers its AFM or nonAFM

after lowering the car it will need a wheel alignment, it can be enough to send the ESP crazy!

no offence but lol at 625nm, you mis-typed that

no worries, yeah series 1 you could put it in for the short term, but you would want to upgrade the whole fuel system if youre planning on running it long term

You are a prospective customer, services = money!!

lol at "OTR seems worthless" a tune with an OTR will make far more power & torque than everything you are considering! yeah throw an exhaust on if you want that lovely sound, but it honestly gives f*ck all performance, maybe 7rwkw for a catback and 15rwkw for a full system, you wouldnt notice...

3.7s go way harder than the standard 3.45, feel so much better! when I got mine done I was told the speedo reads from the wheels so it will be fine, but the cruise control will be off, so either way you should probably get it done, although I know someone who installed one themselves and didnt...

powertorque engines

thats what he says now when youre a prospective customer and there isnt a problem...

^^ the series 2 were made to be compatible with E85, I assume that you dont need to worry about anything

^ the SS actually uses the same caliper, but a larger diameter rotor, so all you would need to upgrade your Sv6 would be the SS mounting bracket and rotors (preferably slotted) then fit the same calipers back on but honestly, the biggest difference in braking is the pads, I used to have a Sv6...

i repeat, HSV AND redline brembos will not fit behind supersports full stop... each Holden wheel is slightly different, its the clearance between the face of the caliper and the wheel spokes thats the killer, so even if you calculate its offset and think it will fit, you could be disappointed!

^ $150 total for both front calipers for my pads, but totally depends on what brand and where you buy like anything else

if youre tuned to E85 it makes a fair bit more power than 98RON, this is because its actually around 108RON

Brembos or HSV (AP) wont fit under your wheels, so if you want to keep your wheels youll need to get something like Harrop which are expensive, if you dont mind changing wheels then the redline brembos are 1600 or 2nd hand HSVs are 2000-2500... so youre pretty much gonna be out of pocket a fair...

it will be fine

wow I hope you have budgeted for a new heavy duty driveline & clutch, and I hope you've sussed the ECU support are you going for a completely new ECU or modifying the stock one? if it works the results should be interesting

totally worth it... they are 4 piston calipers, 355 x 32mm rotors, and a much larger pad surface area, same lines and bolt on to the same bracket so very easily upgraded massive difference in braking is all I can say! with good pads/rotors I can bring on ABS at 160-180kph, and easily last a...

thanks guys, brand new, sounds great! I live near Chandler, but you could have seen me! like any warranty, if my modifications cause a problem then its not covered, but there really isnt much chance of that, theyre only bolt-ons! (for just springs and exhaust youre more than fine)

I may as well post this up for reference, here is the complete parts list for a redline front brembo kit (as seen on my car), the caliper lines and mounting points are all compatible so this everything you need, I also have the part numbers for the holden rotors & pads, but honestly you're just...

Thanks! I got the brake calipers, bolts, etc from Holden Parts, and the rotors & pads from GSLRallySport I did explore getting the brakes painted, but if I was going to do it at all I would do it properly which means taking them apart, getting them powdercoated, then rebuilding them! Sorta...

Thanks for the comments Update: Installed Redline Brembos & Slotted Rotors last week, pics below 3.7 Diff goes in next week Very cost effective & easy upgrade, they bolt straight on, same lines, no modifications, just like replacing a caliper! Not to mention how much better the...
