A couple of people I know have used Bayside Performance Services at Cleveland and been very happy with their work. I was going to use them when I had my L67 VS, but had to sell it to buy a house.

still Bytecraft yeah... I'm looking for better jobs though.

Yep you're right there... we tried our luck alright. It sucked so we moved back :) We're married now too!

Hey JC... I'm back in Brisbane and itching to get a band together again and play some ch00nz. If you are into alt rock and play drums, bass, guitar or sing, hit me up and we'll get together! I have good gear (Gibson Les Paul, Epiphone SG, Tanglewood acoustic, Blackstar amp, FX and a basic PA)...

My ex gf had a VL that was broken into and the ignition barrel wrecked in an attempt to steal it... fortunately the theif didnt succeed because she was moving house and the boot was full of critical personal documents (passport, birth certificate, etc) and treasured belongings. Btw have tried...

Totally agree with Kikki... If you can't afford to insure yourself against the damage you might do, YOU CANT AFFORD TO DRIVE AND SHOULD GTFO

The 'power' button on the transmission is present in all commodores and has been since the introdcution of the electronically controlled 4L60E 4 speed automatic gearbox in the VR Commodore. In models fitted with an electronic gearbox (all autos these days) the powertrain control module (the...

I'm a field service technician in the "Business Equipment" industry. I'm on $49985 per year plus company car, fuel, etoll, phone, plus about $1500 on call allowance each year and all overtime at double time. I suspect there is not a lot of room to move up within the company I work for, but I'm...

my job is field technician servicing point of sale equipment, so my whole working day is spent parking in various carparks at shopping centres, etc. The work car is a 2008 Mitsubishi Triton (thats NOVEMBER 2008!) and thanks to the number of selfish idiots in the world it looks 10 years old...

Saw Karnivool a couple of years ago at the Metro in Sydney... was AWESOME can't WAIT to see them again at Big Day Out :D Got to see Kenny with Birds of Tokyo on the Broken Strings tour last month.... that was a FANTASTIC experience and I have pre-ordered the DVD :D

oops earlier I shouldnt have said you should post a new thread - I did not realise at the time that you were the original poster :) Please accept my apologies

Where should you go for advice? HERE! :D Spend some time going through the forums and as long as you look properly, you'll find all the information you could ever want. Regarding exhaust, I have no hesitation recommending Sureflo Exhaust at Ingleburn. See thread I posted here for the work...

My understanding is that there are two different exhaust systems for the VY models. All models were 235kW standard, except for SS and SV8 which came with what Holden call a "sports exhaust" which netted 245kW. I have not heard of a 225kW VY though... I thought the VX was 225kW and the basic VYs...

You should speak to Greg at Sureflo - he guarantees you will get what you ask for. I just got my exhaust done - 3.5 inch cat back in the "medium loud" version in mild steel. Before vid: YouTube - SV8 Exhaust Note After vid: YouTube - Sureflo 3.5 inch cat back MEDIUM-LOUD Please note that...

I know thats why its still in my garage and not in the bin :)

lol thanks for the tip but that battery is actually rubbish - its for the bin was left under the house when we moved in... i just havent bothered to get rid of it yet

Just thought I'd put up the before and after videos since I got my SV8 fitted with the medium loud 3.5 inch cat back from Sureflo :) Please be aware the auto gain control on the camera makes the stock and sureflo systems sound almost equally loud, but I assure you the sureflo system is MUCH...

$1800 for the four with Maxxis MAV-1 235/40R18 Would have gotten better tyres, but I also had $1400 worth of suspension damage from the impact, so the tyres had to be cheapies. EDIT: I don't remember the EXACT price, but the "non package" price for the rims only was about $260 each, give or take.

I have now got a VY SV8 but god I miss my super 6 VS :(

My car's booked in for Sureflo exhaust tomorrow - you'd like the sound i guarantee it :D Dont consider this an offer, but if you're interested I'd consider it PM some details if you are...

These are 18 inch Equus Kalibur as depicted here I do suffer from a small amount of shame with these being manufactured by a Chinese company called "Lucky Wheel and Tyre" but when I drive past someone on the street, I doubt their first thought would be "pffftt... cheap chinese wheels" ;)

got them from Bob Jane at Blacktown... cannot recommend them enough! best customer service ever, and they even sprayed my discs and calipers black to match :D EDIT: by "discs" I mean the hubs of them, not the braking surface ;) some overspray, but 2 seconds of braking and it was gone.

My auto SV8 got 10.6 L/100km average on the drive from Sydney to Brisbane on BP Ultimate with a boot full of luggage.

nah everyone gets silver wheels... :) personally I like the contrast

Hey guys, Got some new wheels after hitting a traffic island and bending two of the standard 17s. Posted a pic a while ago in the 'pics of your VY' thread but didnt really get any feedback. Thx to my bro Stressball for the mad good photo too. What do you think?

Actually its printed circuit board Disconnect the negative battery terminal - you need to do this to avoid logging an airbag fault. Before doing this, be sure you have your radio PIN handy - you may or may not need it. Remove the horn pad by inserting a large flat blade screwdriver into...

Mine were doing this too - fixed by re-soldering the joints on the button PCB and spraying the microswitches with some electrical contact cleaner. Good as new now :)

lol it looks like you've spray painted the inside of the windows black :D

I'd be stoked if after exhaust + OTR + mafless the fuel consumption actually improved :) I'll probably do the drive again after those things and see.

I have the Maxxis MAV-1 in 235/40R18 but they only have about 1000km on them so far - in the short time I have had them they seem to behave fairly well.

I can recommend Carline Mufflers - they will beat anyone elses price and from my experience, do quality work. I had a 3.8 Ecotec 2.5 inch catback done for around $300 (dont remember exact amount sorry). I was more than impressed with the results.

I had same problem on my VS - the trick is to belt them hard with hammer once, then rotate a quarter turn, and repeat about a hundred times until the rotor comes off. I did ruin a hammer this way because I was hitting so hard though - needless to say if you have to remove the rotors this way...

On holidays at the moment - drove from Sydney to Brisbane in the VY and collected the following data, for those who might like to know. Initial Fill: Woodcroft BP - ODO:157995 First Fill: Port Macquarie BP - ODO:158380 - 41.94L - $59.61 Final Fill: Coomera BP - ODO:158870 - 50.81L - $72.61...

pmsl I love a happy ending!!

It would be a matter of test driving and thinking very hard about what you are losing vs. what you are gaining. I'd be paying close attention to the handling differences.

mine came up with an ABS fault today - turned out to be the battery was flat - as I discovered shortly afterwards when I tried to start the car. Charging the battery for a while fixed it. This lines up nicely with phat calais's experience also. Please bear in mind that if the regulator in your...
