    How many Km's on your VN/VP?

    I havent had a VP for 3 years now, but when i did the odometer just stopped ticking over at 208k.... I bought it from uncle who had owned it since brand new. No real major problems, Central locking was kiffed, randomly locked and unlocked doors. other than that i flogged the bejesus out of...

    New Amplifier?

    Head Unit to AMP Amp to SPEAKERS Head Unit to amp using RCA cables AMP to speakers using speaker wire. If you have splits there should be a crossover in there somewhere. SO... AMP to Crossover (2 wires in), then to speaker and Tweeter (2 wires each for 4 out in total) That website above...

    Urgent help needed

    i dunno if d/c battery would do anything? maybe if you can reach the throttle wire in engine bay ( i dunno if these are exposed like they are on the VP) you could physically try and move it to lose position and see if it revs so low it stalls. i really have not explained that well, but i dunno...

    have you gotten laid cause of your car?

    i agree. Car can help. but i defo think its more about the girl(s) and how you approach the situation etc etc. Ive had a couple, one of my mates back home used to get notes left on his car by girls when we were at uni - i think he has reaped rewards from his ride a fair bit. I have another...

    New Amplifier?

    75w RMS for sure. 20w RMS is a waste of time. just never run the amp at full power (most amps will clip and distort if operating above say 90% of capacity) should be pretty much load enough anyway considering its a ute. not exactly a huge amount of empty cabin space. JC.

    New Amplifier?

    if you run an amp on factory speakers, you will probably blow them as they wont handle the power. Car audio is getting pretty cheap these days, a lot of stuff is kinda rubbish china spec. As such costs a little and doesnt perform good. Depends on your budget and how much you want to spend...

    VE Commodore Omega Upgrades

    I checked my old diff this morning (factory omega open diff) it is a 3.27, so my apologies to wizeabe - i stand corrected. prob should get a speedo recal, BUT its not out, it still aligns with the GPS speedo (which is apparently pretty accurate also)... any ideas guys? JC.

    buying IRS LSD for ve sv6

    no idea actually - i didnt get one done, and my speedo isnt out - I assumed the open spinner was a 2.92 also, its actually a 3.27... so i should get a recal done, but my speedo doesnt seem to be out from my GPS, so i dunno.... However i did ask a couple of places when i was considering going to...

    This has to be THE most DISGUSTING car I have ever seen!

    "Once you get past all this, you get to lift the back lid and it will take your breath way. The upholstery was done by Dave Coburn of Coburn Motor Trimmers here in Mackay. When I told him what I wanted he thought I was crazy. Have you ever seen a boom box in a tail-gate before, well now you...

    VE Commodore Omega Upgrades

    pretty sure omegas have 2.92 open spin diff from factory, Calais and SV6 have 2.92 LSD (V6's) then i think SS has 3.27 or 3.43 GTS has 3.7. Actually i know the omega has a 2.92, i swapped my open diff for 2.92 LSD a few weeks back.

    Whether I Should Remove My Muffler, Please Comment

    i have a VE, it has extractors, 2.5" mandrel system from cats. It originally had 2 mufflers, a mid and a rear. I have recently removed the rear - much louder and sounds alright, if it had no mid, it would sound real loud and real shite. I feel as is it is a little droney if it sits between 2000...

It was **** slow, slower than 56k dialup. I had a massive **** fight with 3 about it and eventually got out of my contract with...

    Dumb things you've done working on a car?

    Tried to rush an audio install on my first car (VP wagon) one afternoon back in the day (2003) Ended up drilling through the engine bay wiring loom while trying to get amp power lead through firewall. Stoopid.. needless to say that was a major pain in the ass to fix. Car would start and stall...

    VE SS Commodore High way patrol cars

    i have it on very good authority that all HWP cars have video camera mounted near rearview mirror - when siren is turned on, camera starts recording and logging data from speedo and so on. Designed for officer safety and also to provide evidence in court if required.

    Car and Personal Loans....

    another idea you can use which is a bit more involved is this. First you will need a credit card and a good credit rating. If you buy the car using your credit card you can do a balance transfer to another card at a low interest rate. Ive thought about doing this, but have decided i need to...
