Hey all, it's been awhile. Staying offline has helped me to keep the car stock, although I did look up some part numbers on here for pads for the silly 345mm brake upgrade (went for Hawk ceramic and DBA t3) Anyways, I'm getting some chirping from the top tensioner. Should I let Holden repair...

I did the calipers on my Volvo black, it looked pretty good, with the Project Mu pads in there.

where I bought the plug from ($8), they said they were fixing heaps of them that had been fixed by other dealers.

I won't get a service at a dealership.

you are the man!!!

Hi all, I have found moist carpet under my wife's legs, and recently I've even found moisture in the rear. I've read that the connection for my drain tube can be a bit iffy and that now there are rubber parts which can prevent future accidents. Its under warranty, but when things aren't too...

I haven't had any issues with mylink, I don't use the touchscreen much, I prefer to navigate with the tune knob\button

I would drive it home. A few stone chips won't affect its value too much. I've bought two cars interstate and find it a good excuse to disappear for a few days Bad experience here with Patricks here too.

13 seats in total? ;)

Can't wait for some big brake porn. I would love to see these brakes behind the vf1 redline wheels.

Look into 0w40 Mobil 1, it has higher zinc than the penrite. It's pricey but if you buy it in 20l tubs it's not too bad. I use it in the commode and volvo

I basically rolled down into Sydney from Mt Victoria for a new PB of 8.0

My mechanic said the maf wire is hot enough to burn off any oil but as Maverick said, less is best

I have to disagree.

I keep calling it the truck, the same name to all the vehicles I've used for work.

This. Always

It’s not just unsprung mass but mostly rotational mass which makes the big difference in accelerating and braking

37

Depends on which part of Australia and how old you were through the last two property booms?

I’ve seen them on HWP

I have the police brakes too, and I agree they stop really well in my usage. I’m only keen for brembos for the improved look, as time passes it’s becoming less and less important.

If only a decent update (to include android and Apple) could be crowd funded

I generally use the tune knob to select stuff instead of touching the screen, I find it easier while driving. I often listen to my USB music on random but if I want the next track on the album it’s very simple to find using the tune knob

Not as smooth as a merc though

Try it if you longer want the car. Park it in their car park, leave the keys with the salesman along with a letter from a lawyer.

I guess for me it’s similar to dash cams; I’m waiting for that “wish I had bought one” moment before I go and buy one.

Holden flat bottomed wheel is a dealer fitted accessory and/or factory option.

That’s messed up! Not parked in the garage then!?

Which suburbs do you guys live in that require the use of locknuts?

Chemical Guys White Wax

I bought a spare one (not sure why to be honest) when a kind brother on this forum brought back a bunch from the states. If someone needs it they can PayPal f&f me $30 and I'll send it on to them.

That cable type dipstick is a million times better

I've seen a HWP with the single piston fronts

For me personalised plates stopped being cool when I saw "HIACE" on an effing van, then I realised just how many cars had these superfluous model names and numbers on their number plates. Each to their own and all that but far out most of the plates you see are just plain unimaginative and a...

Exactly, Dexos isn't some "super" oil. It is 1 part GM protecting their warranty liability by enforcing synthetic oil, and 9 parts a good money grab from oil companies. All the car manufacturers are joining in. My 9 year old Volvo manual just says it must have synthetic oil, but there is no...

Thanks, I looked into this for ages about 6 months ago and could only find genuine. Glad there is now another option, hopefully more will follow. Rockauto have those bendix for US$23.79.

Put up a part number. And relax

Don't get upset about it. Option 1: buy genuine new pads Option 2: buy set of standard ss brakes Option 3: buy set of brembo

There isn't anything except genuine for these pads, so why would supercheap or repco have them in a Bendix catalogue?
