Yeah we got ours back in 1999 because it was big and supposedly safe. Looking at the HIC ratings I don't think my wife will be driving it again,...
Slightly OT but thanks for these, showing them to my wife shortly. She has an emotional attachment to our old VS but I'm guessing her emotional...
Hey, the VS has headers and 'zorst, so must be somewhere up around the 700whp mark. If it had a cop chip and red coil packs too I'd never get rid...
Looking around I'm getting that feeling myself, I suspect they're all gone in NZ. :( Thanks gents.
Fair point, I've never bought new before myself so warranties are a bit of a novelty. I'm more used to fixing things when they break, that's...
Probably looking for a unicorn here but I figure you guys will know better than me. With the WN Caprice rapidly running out of time we're...
I just stopped caring, it's quite liberating. I even let the mother-in-law drive it. I did pull a dent out of the left rear quarter panel one day...
Our son has just turned 10 years old and is already over 5ft tall, so we suspect he's going to end up somewhere around 6ft 5in. Accordingly our...
And that's the crux of it right there. Doing 0-100 in under 3 seconds on a bike is different because you're hunkered forward on the bike, and...
Before we can provide a suitable answer, please clarify the following: - What changes have the stage 3 racing chip made, and who supplied it? -...
I'd say Supercars (the category) will keep the same chassis layout since they're already a silhouette formula, the only major engineering change...
Wait a minute. I thought you flatted with Leonard, not Raj?
Took it past the 300,000km mark.
Spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis) here. Basically my back's knackered, but I've done so much damage to it over the years I can't tell the...
Late to the party since I forgot my username (d'oh), but... I wouldn't go back. My childhood was pretty crap, surrounded by a family with varying...
It's yet another "stickers 'n' wheels" deal where Holden NZ try and bump up the price by adding nothing of real substance (except the wheels in...
Like Calaber I'm now at the point where my body is breaking down, I've been diagnosed with spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis) and apparently...
Check the tensioner assembly, you may find the internal spring has collapsed and is pushing the belt out slightly. Pick up a new one from Holden...
Touche, I'm a young 42yo so my kiddie dream era was the late-'70s to mid-'80s. Dad had an SLR5000 which was pretty sweet, and later a Riley Elf,...
For me it was always the General Lee. And Daisy Duke, of course... Personally I prefer the more analog feel of older cars, I don't want to be...
Whatever you do, I'd ditch any thought of mentioning being in a relationship with her. Consider her a good friend from the past, nothing more....
That's pretty much what I'm thinking too.
I'm currently trying to pick the sweet spot as to which model Commodore to buy that will last longest, be easiest to DIY on and have most...
Thanks for your service Sarge, hope your future career proves to be at least as fulfilling.
Screw that, I can rego and insure both the VS and our 2004 Nissan Stagea, and get a WOF on both of them for about a grand.
Corolla or Civic. Boring but common and reliable,
Lol, touche...
Anyone expecting AMG refinement from a tarted up taxi with a big donk is going to be disappointed. Anyone expecting a barrel of fun from a tarted...
Figured as much, thanks.
Only slightly off-topic...I took my dead VS battery to the local key cutter to enquire about replacing the battery, he was of the opinion that the...
Can't see any badges like it on a Roadpacer, and I wouldn't expect Mazda to have any reference to GMH on their cars. I suspect it's a badge...
...and the hoist, right?
Well I've also started making inroads to my career change too, but it's slightly more complicated. I've sold a house to free up some funds for a...
Engines are... VN-VR = Known as "Buick 3800". You've got one in your Transit, but bear in mind there's Series I and series II engines, which...
^This, or 18x8s with 235/40s if you want more shiny and less black. IMO 19s and over on VN-VS make them look like roller skates.
The Ecotec is just an evolution of the Buick 3800 in the VN-VR, there's nothing complicated about it, even I can wrench on mine. You can fix an...
I wouldn't buy it. If I wanted 470kw+ I'd start with a used LS1/2/3-powered car and spend thousands getting there, and still have tens of...
I've been in IT for 22 years now and I'll admit I'm on a very good income. However, I can see the time coming when my role disappears or changes...
I reckon a manual VS GTS/Senator 215i would be a cracker of an investment, I'd pick up one myself but I'd never be able to resist modifying it and...
Your question is which one would I choose so...I'd keep the VE, because one can never have too much boot space when one has a family. Plus, being...
