    Installing ve series one boot lip spoiler

    I don't think I used clips or tape, just screwed it down, the inside the boot you will see holes to drill through. I Haven't had any leaks.

    Air con tapping

    Every time the car starts something in the middle of the console taps/knocks for about 5 seconds. Annoying as hell. I think it may have initially started when switching the windscreen demister on. Anyone had a similar issue?

    VE trip to Narrendera NSW.

    I'm not too far from Narrandera and I know the heat and wind you were referring to. I fly rc planes but only ones you buy then build. If anyone is keen on it jump onto hobbyking.com pretty cheap these days.

    VT Overheating

    I'm just about to look at the mother inlaws 98vt. She had radiator replaced recently then took it back because it all leaked out. Now she has spent around a grand and said its starting to overheat especially when the aircon is on. I swapped plugs last night to see if the other fan works and it...

    HSV Kits On Non HSV Cars- The Discussion

    At the end of the day it's just plastic regardless of the expensive badges on the car. If you like the look an cant afford an expensive car that loses so much of your $$$ over the years then stick a spoiler on here or there. I like the look of clubsports and I don't mind seeing more on the road...

    Fitting a HSV E1 front bar to an Omega

    I didn't worry on mine. Because it is lower you will scrape more around town so the extra flex without having the brackets could be a good thing. Mine hasn't budged in 6 months, hope that helps

    Front sway bar bushes

    How do you know when to replace them? Is it noisy or does the handling tend to go and make the car feel like a boat when cornering? And is there usually a common amount of k's when they need replacing?

    engine oil life

    Do you know some cars don't have dipsticks? Apparently they have been made redundant as there is already one behind the wheel

    spark plugs

    I did mine a couple of months ago. When I need it done again I will get the mechanic to do it. You will need a handy tool to remove rear bolt under plenum

    2006/2007 VE Model's Check Engine Light Occurring Frequently?

    Just straight up get the software. I did and it worked out fine "knock on wood" car drives really nicely and no more chimes. And especially after I got the seatbelt extension. I hate dings in the commodore.

    Suggestions on improving SSV ride to very rough roads

    I have recently upgraded Omega suspension with a spring & shock set straight out of a clubsport. With 18" sv6 wheels. The ride is definitely stiffer and I'm possible thinking of putting the springs back on from the omega. They are same height but softer spring. Not sure if people recommend that...

    Softening rear suspension

    I have managed to fit the new suspension on to my Omega. It's actually second hand 06 r8 socks and springs. I did the front sat arvo and it felt better handling wise and smooth then the next day I fitted the rear suspension but have found it to really harden the ride now. Can really feel the...

    gday mate, I just installed the hsv shocks into my car.. Where did you get the switch for the mrc? My rear end is probably to tight and wondering if the switch helps or if it just firms it up even more. Cheers

    Lowering 06 Omega??

    I'm throwing some hsv shocks on my omega today. I don't wanna affect ride hight because my hsv front spoiler sits so low already. However I'm hoping this stiffens the front end but not to much as its only a v6 and I don't hav the extra weight of the v8. Will let you know how it goes. Total price...

    Series II SSV rims on omega?

    How much did you pay?

    FE2 FE3 or King

    Look on eBay to buy someone's old fe2. Normally lads remove them when they buy the car new and lower it pretty quick. Worth a try if your trying to save pennies

    Low Quality Tint

    Guys if you know how to use a blade then order the tint online from protint and mix some dish washing detergent to make the film solution and apply it yourself. Very easy to do. You will need patience tho

    Holden VE SV6 06 Timing Chain "P0018"

    I had this problem guys and I researched long and hard even the American sites and I came to the conclusions the sensors are set to tight and throwing codes off. I had the software update a couple of months ago for $250 including a vim connector and since then it has driven smoother the gear...

    Spring compressors

    Has anyone swapped over complete suspension on a VE without using compressors. I searched for this and I found some info on the vt/vu which some people say yes and some say no. In my situation the new suspension is out of an R8 and the coils are still on the struts locked into place, so I'm...

    Would this sit lower at front with Fe2 or equivalent

    Thank you for the in-depths of knowledge you have Sean. So body roll comes down to shocks/struts rather then stiffer springs. That's good to know. I have some springs from a friends ve e series (clubsport I think) Was going to try them with standard struts at front but if it doesn't help with...

    Would this sit lower at front with Fe2 or equivalent

    Im wanting to have a slighly sportier feel without dropping it too low. The front end sits quiet low as it is with the clubsport nose. Im wondering wether anyone on here is wanting to sell old fe2 if they are dropping their car on it guts with kings/munroe combo.
