Hey guys, this might sound like a stupid question but I bought some new headlights and parkers as my old ones just blew, but I cant seem to get the little parker bulb out!! I've removed the battery and air intake so i have enough room, and I'm doing as the manual says "rotate anti-clockwise and...

I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has a CAPA supercharge kit fitted to their SV6? I'm looking for an honest opinion and what power figures were achieved in comparison to the figures claimed on their website.

Will there be enough bonnet clearance if you fit the manifold insulators with a CPR6 manifold? I read somewhere that there is no clearance

Wow thanks for the responses guys, the HBD lip seen in the link is exactly the one i saw. Thanks for all ur help

Hey guys, recently I saw an SV6 driving around town with the same standard bodykit that any SV6 would have, except the rear spoiler had been removed in place of a boot lip similar to the one seen on the VE CalaisV. Does anyone know if there is a genuine boot lip for the VZ's or would that have...

Yeah same problem with A/S. The paddle shift is terrible thank god it was scrapped after the VZ lol

AAA Exhausts at Richmond come very highly recommended, got a mate who's family races for a living and they recommended them to me

Can u supply instructions for the connection of the voltage wires?

Well the car was taken to Main North Automatics here in Adelaide, they've tested the car and done all necessary electrical tests and no faults came up. As 4th and 5th work when the car is cold or the roads are wet they have suspected that a seal ring in the 3-4 clutch pack has failed. Very...

Hey all, sorry if this topic has already been posted. I've been looking at getting some HSV style binnacle gauges for my SV6. As I don't have climate control I understand I would have to get the VY style as it fits into the larger compartment. My only problem is finding a place willing to fit...

It should fit straight in, they have the same shape and wiring loom just a different look

Speaking to a very reputable exhaust center here in Adelaide, they recommend a twin 2 1/4 system as they rekon it doesn't drone as much as a 2 1/2. However they were quite helpful in explaining that a 2 1/4 system provides better torque where as a 2 1/2 system provides more power up top. In the...

No worries cheers for your help.

Hey guys, just thought I'd start a topic as I don't really know what is of more benefit for the Auto SV6. I know a group called Powerchip have a flash tune for the SV6 for $900, they claim that it achieves a gain of 10-11KW on 98 Premium Unleaded. I was just wondering if anyone else has had...

Cheers mate, when I bought the car it came with a 5 year warranty from a private company in VIC so I might give them call and see if I'm covered. I've always been a fan of the active select at the gear shift, such a better driving feel.

Thanks mate, I think the A/S were abit rushed and weren't incorporated that well with the 190's. Will definately take my mechanic for a drive to show him what I mean and then take it from there, I'm closer to Thebarton so I'll probably take the car there sometime soon, hope they don't charge too...

Yeah my mechanic said 5th was overdrive I may have mistyped something. The active select is just as bad, the gears change but once you select 5th at low speeds it feels as if the car has downshifted. Also, when you have your foot fairly pressed on the accelerator and working through active...

Mechanic is coming this week to service the car so will definately bring up getting this fixed. Just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar problem. Thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

The car was bought with 120,000 highway kilometres as it belonged to a motor dealership in the country. The dealer was offering 5 years free warranty and I needed a car quick. Haven't had any mechanical issues, only problem was a fault with the keys which kept the indicators on when the car...

Anyone? Lol

Ohk nice thanks, might have to give him a call.

Didn't have any leaks but when the car was sitting for a couple months (long story) the front right hand side had a crack on the top of the strut so the whole strut and bag had to be replaced. As far as I can remember the Soarer had a bag and strut alone, with the option to convert to coils...

Hey mate, I used to own a V8 soarer which came standard with airbag suspension. I had an aftermarket digital height controller installed, and although it's abit different in that it takes quite a while to pump or release air I can still tell you abit about the ride and how it feels. When you...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has similar issues with their auto SV6. I have an 04 model and when I first bought the car I noticed that my car would not find fourth when traveling on the highway. I used to drive it with the gearbox in the "D" position, I'd get up to 90 km/h and the engine...

Does anyone know where the performance manifold ute got its cams from or were they custom made?

Hey guys, sorry if this thread has already been posted. Tonight my brother decided to sit in the back seat for once, and tried to put the rear passenger side window down. He said the button was loose and not working, after realising the child lock was pressed on the main window control, I...
