you know instead of all this talk on what it may or may not do, how about you just change it? work out what your speedo reads vs a GPS then go off that.... I know my speedo is out after 80km and know if my car reads 110 im actually doing 106. Stop worrying about it so much...

Couldn't agree with you anymore. I've noticed in the last year since i've been working all over Vic driving at different times, most crashes or close calls aren't from P platers they're are actually driving a lot slower compared to whn i was a P plater 2 years ago. Most near crashes i've...

go buy an actual decide vodka like Zytnia, it's a polish vodka same price as smirnoff but x100 better. and double black is just lemonade prob with extra sugar

yeah i'm not that worried, rating 2 now, just car is usually very good, even tho im under ammi who owns them. My mates got 2 cars under them both with 250 plus rwkw and had no prob

**** thats not bad, yeah i'm either going to get a SS or look into getting a turbo or charger on my 6 well in the early new year

Dunno if this has been posted, but Capa are making chargers for the sv6 CAPA : Supercharger Kits and i read somewhere i believe someone in syd is close to having a good turbo for the sv6

Not sure if this was psoted, but this is what i would do. I'd talk to my local dealer, if he says yeah no porb, it won't void it. GET IT IN WRITTING THEN AND THERE! Just because they say it , doesn't mean they have to do it, the old gentermans agreement is long gone and you need to have a...

hey mate, Just reading one of your posts about ur setup. Out of curiousity, what exaclty have you had done sizing etc and how much you paid if you don't mind and also did you have a sound clip of it? cheers, sheepz

just looks like my airhammer CIA but more expensive...

sounds good mate, how much louder do you think it is over the stockies? i'm thinking about doing the same thing

sv6 with airham CIA manual running shell 98 driving all around melb all conditions and getting about 600 - 650 easy per tank getting about 9.2 - 9.6 per 100 depending how much i flog it

Hey all, Just got a quick question, my cig lighter has died / dying works if i spend 10mins getting it in the right stop the actual part you plug into ( already checked and changed fuses tested my charger in other cars etc, i know its the fault) Anyway just curious can i claim this under...

Hey, Honestly those things look like a big waste of money, i'm a home gym person got everything you would need outta the gym. Best thing for abs, is yoga ball situps and this AB ABDOMINAL EXERCISE CIRCLE WHEEL ROLLER FOR HOME GYM - eBay Exercise Balls, Accessories, Fitness, Sport. (end...

It really depends if they have the delivery time in writting on the contract, if they do then yeah try get some extras or really can prob get out of the contract for breach. But if the delivery was only verbal which i'd say it's 99% was, then your going to have a hard time. Realisticly the...

Hey all, As the title says, does anyone know the actual clearance for a stock sv6 at the rear wheels? I've had a rough try at working it out and what i can gather it's about 19 - 20mm at the lowest point behind the wheel near the suspension sturts. Just needing to know because i've found...

Haha this is a great point, there is factors that can change the read out from the camera, eg differnt outside temp lvls will effect the readout and even if a truck/car passes the mobil cameraand moves it, it will give a different reading.

Hey all, I know there was a thread about snowchains on the stock R18 245 45's and the owners manual saying that you can't use them. I've rang up holden got not answers why they can't have chains and there seems to be enough clearance. Anyway i was up at hotham on the w/e and noticed about...

Is that clip with the quad tips, just from a change in tips only ? and if so what tips were they? doesn't have any info on the youtube clip

prob almost a month ago now, i saw a P plater, on the eastern almost change lanes 3 times into cars in about a 1km stretch. I've noticed for the past year now that im driving around most of vic, how bad some drivers are. I admit i do speed just to stay away from other drivers now, had to in the...

You should be setting a side all GST that you collect from jobs as a start, as the gst you collect isn't yours to play with. the 6,000 threshold is for personal tax only. You'll be looking at about 30% tax or 30cents per dollar you make. Check with an accountant to be 100% safe

the F***s haven't replied to my email been almost two weeks, going to ring up when i get some time

OP, i your postion i wouldn't have signed as well. Their has been some good points brought up but really once you've signed how sure are you that there going to fix the problem 100%. You're buying a new car, if i was buying a new car and especially spending a large amount i would expect it to...

WTF, what happened to just drawing Pen 15's and other random stuff on them or staff random things around them... My god our teens are going down the drain... Main reason i don't catch the train at night... and im 21 ( ringwood - lilydale) a lot of 'station scum' kids all under 17 just hanging...

i haven't got any water in mine or close to. I think it would be near impossible from splash off another car to get into it :S, only way i could see it happening would be driving in a 1 foot puddle

If you check one of the links i posted earlier, they actually have a chain that fits the 245/45/R18, well going by there chart anyway. I've Emailed holden directly to try find if there is an actual reason besides the tyre to big/wide.

I i made some calls to holden yesterday, first tryin my local dealer and he jsut passed me onto customer service, waited on hold for 10mins, then the dumbarse girl couldn't give me a straight answer besides it's something to do with the alloys.... So i got really no where yesterday, i'm going to...

also what type of driving are you doing? highway or more city? Also have you been reving it a little more since you've put it in? as the above post i was reving a little harder to see if i could notice the difference. Also maybe check that everything has been put on tight, maybe there is a leak...

I noticed the power increase a little and also with some response. Took the CPU about 2 weeks to really settle in. although i drilled the hole it recommanded as well to increase the air flow

hmm this is really ****ed if i can't get chains for my Ve, i'm going to do a lot of ringing around tomorrow and i'll find out what i can and post it here.

So in other words, from what i've gathered you can't put chains on the 245/45/R18 then? That seems very F'd up

Tyre Size I'm in the same boat, looking at this site, it shows that they can fit the 245/45/R18. Only annoying thing is, i was going to change my tyre size and they don't have chains for the profile i want :(

yeah i change about 3000 rpm, then usually from 3rd to 6th. Can't stand driving a auto they're so boring and i don't feel in control. But i use 98 mainly bc im doing a tank a week and i'm not fussed over 5 - 10 bucks for a better fuel

Drive a manual, umm was low 500 kms from mem, i can double check my log book but thats all the way in the car lol. I did test my car on 91 95 and 98 as well. Found 98 runs a lot better for the extra like 5 - 10 bucks a tank.

i've just got the airhammer CAI on my sv6 08, and i'm getting between 9.2 - 9.7 L per 100km or about 620 km a tank. I highly recommand it, if your wanting fuel consumption, plus it's a easy self install. Prob getting extra 80 kms per tank with the CAI.

Thats why we need harder tests... and a hell of a lot more road education. ( forgot 2 add that on my earlier post sorry)

sorry if this has already been said, skipped the last few posts. If someone can not feel safe driving in 100km zones, then they should be handing in their licences. If this happens i would believe the road toll would drop by at least 50% because; People would actually be doing the speed and...

I'm not going to argue with you, seems you think cameras work 100% all the time, i know what i did and my car was in the whole intersection on the GREEN. You can say 'what you think i did' but what i've said is what happened, i have no reason to lie and as i said, i went away from 3 weeks and...

Well i prob set it off because i had to sit in the intersection for 1.2seconds... I am 100% positive i didn't enter the intersection on the red because i know it was a red light camera, also knew what the law was. And as i stated before i just missed the turning arrow, meaning i was the first...

Yeah i had to wait for the on coming car to pass, before i could safely turn right. But i 100% entered the intersection on the green... They dont take photos when it's green only when they their is a car in / going through the intersection on red. Because i made the safe decission, i got...

No i didn't fight it because i went on holiday for 3weeks and couldn't be fked with the drama and plus it was my word against theirs.... I know for certain i entered it on a green light because i was first to turn when it was clear. Also the reason i got done was because i was in there for...
