:O Whats next! Well today I was speaking with aluminium welders (Who are generally quite rude). The conses is, is that an aluminium bar will not break the sump bolt off.
So next week I will be cutting the nut off with a hak saw, and drilling out the hole, then flushing a screw load of oil through the car to get rid of any bits of metal that may be in there. Also will probably make a how too on doing it...
Any last words?
Yet Another VS Ute Owner
Hahahahaha, your write ups have made me laugh mate.
Good luck with the VX mate, white is always a good colour to start with....
I would buy some center caps and dress rings for your stockies to clean it up a bit.

Ok! Well now I have left QLD and am in NSW... Thank F for that. Still havn't done the oil, but now have a tap kit, so one step closer. Also going back to school! And things have changed so I should have a bit more money to spash at the car, which is good because rego is due at the end of the month. Anywho, baught a Lukey High Flow Pannel filter. And from Hervey Bay to Armidale, did the whole 735K trip (Did a few uturns) on just 60LT of fuel... So pretty half happy with that. I'm pretty sure it would have gotten to 800, and probably more if I didn't drive like a #### head for the first part of the trip untill a Coppa pulled me over for traveling 114 in a 100 zone and let me off with a warning... Few... Anywho... Probably will get some cut and wax and such and clean her up and go from there. Very soon going to put an m15 1.75 bolt in the sump to change the oil, was going to go BIGGER then the sump bolt, but have decided to go smaller incase I stuff something up. Though I have a theory that I can get it out by filing down two sides of the bolt a bit, and using stilsons... Either way I need the actuall bolt head off so it works if it does, and it works if it doesn't because the bolt head will snap off... Weeewwwww And Yes... A how too will follow if I am successfull... Else you will get a how too on "How to #### your sump"
on boost
hervey bay is were its at lol
Hervey Bay is ok :P Better then what I make it out to be, worse then what people make it out to be. Didn't tap it.. Got some compound to repair the thread, then took to it with a cold chizel.. That WORKED. So I got the bolt out and the thread was intack -.- Bye bye 35 dollars. Put in some new oil and a new filter, drove around for a bit, put in engine flush, ran the engine for 30 minuets, trained that out, new filter, and then put in new oil (Magnatec, the most expensive shit I could find)
Doing the boots on my controle arm today and searching for th wheel shudder (Either the controle arm ball joint, or the front hydroli bush), fixing that, and then pink slip (Or is it green slip?) on monday, rego before the 30th, and then off my P's and onto my blacks! WOOT!
Thats the way I plan it anyway.. Pretty sure all my tires are ok, my worst tire has wear on the outside, but there is 4mm of tread left... And you can't get it below 2mm? I think thats the rule. Regardless I am going to rotate my wheels and replace the most worn one with the spare!
rshfdiu Frakk me
So Removed the side strips (Photos to come soon) And I want some advice... I am going to be putting on those blue silicon pipes for my intake, and I was wondering, do you think I paint my engine cover... Or should I polish my plenum cover. I eventually want to get a plenum spacer from Mace.
Hey mates funny thread, nice VX too it looks the goods !
Now about that engine cover, I'd remove it and polish the plenium cover, will look ally neater, the ecotec engine cover is to say the least .... Gay lol
More pics of the car man
P.s keep the chaser rims as they are, no hub caps for the love of god
Alright, Ill look into polishing up the old girl (So happy someone made up my mind for me :P)
More picks to come this sunday (I think). By then I would have finished getting rid of the crap on the windows, will have washed and waxed her (Already cut and polished), and will have finished re-spraying my rims!
Also the Caps I am thinking about the Enforcer Center Caps.. I don't know how to explain them :P
Center caps are gay * hits you with stick * no ! They do not go on a commodore
But but but... They are SUPPOSED to be on the Enforcers. -cry-
* grabs bigger stick * what did I say !!! Lol
Haha :P well... I might photoshop them in when I put up the new pictures and see how they look. thing is, is that the black metal at the center really annoys meI want them to look neet.
The black metal looks tough as ####, too be honest I'd look on eBay for a nice set of black rims :P SS-V's painted black would look ####ing awsome
Originally I was going to look at some Shadow Chrome rims for it... But then I wanted to keep the enforcers and get big antenas so it was like an undercover car ^_^ I'm such a tool -.-
Lol not going to disagree there :P
Seriously get a set of black if shadow chrome rims, 18 or 19 inch, will look a million bucks
Yeeaaaah, but that's going to cost me a lot money! And I like the look of it sitting on really fat rubber... Owned a Valiant before this... So the large tyres is kinda like an Old school look for me... Gah. So lame
True true why not put a set of white walls on ?
Again something I was contemplateing. There is a picture of Walsey's car where he has massive fat white walls on it; and it looks boss! But I'm not sure how much they cost... And I don't know whether it would suit my car dude
living the low life
Walesy had flappers, not white walls
Oh! I thought they were white walls... Didn't know there was a difference between the two... I thought white walls were tyres with white on the walls of the tyres (To me that makes sense![Recently learnt that sense doesn't have a c in it]).. Confusion
Ohhhhhh yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So I haven't finished yet
Picture bellow! Right is before, and left is after
Also with the bellow pictures... I think you will all be able to tell I SUCK at taking photo's... So uh.. Be nice ^_^
Thinking of painting those side skirts (The black ones), black... Because they are faded and really annoy me.. Eventually I want to Calais kit it (Front bumper, side skirts, and rear skirt), and the skirts in that are grey... So maybe I should spray paint them grey? Suggestions?
Looks good mate, in my opinion I'd paint the black skirts white ! Makes them look lower and tidys them up a hell of alot
Nothing wron with your photo skills mate
I was thinking white, and you are the third person to suggest it. Only problem is, is that I know for a FACE that herron white (The collor of my car), looks different then my paint because of fade. And I worry that its going to look like a completely different shade to the car.
