    Snow Chains at the North Pole Safety Alert. !!!!!!

    Just make sure what you get is legal for use in Australia when snow chains must be fitted. I have been in situations where no snow tyre in the world would have helped. Snow chains for the win!

    Wl statesman super charger

    what do you want out of the engine? more low down torque or top end power? what is your budget? how good are you with tools? what other modifications do you have? good exhaust, bigger brakes etc are a good idea.

    VN Sedan Problem

    check the boot light and the glove box light as the switches are renouned for failing. Easy way to tell is open the boot and feel if the lamp cover is warm, if the light has been staying on it will be pretty warm to the touch.

    How to remove these bolts from ecotec plenum cover

    Have you tried applying some gentle heat to the area (not to the stud) so the aluminium expands slightly. Also if stud locker has been used on the thread, gentle heat will help it come loose.

    Snow Chains at the North Pole Safety Alert. !!!!!!

    I used to work in the snow fields and I have heard this story so many times. Punters complaining because the chains don't fit or they put them on incorrectly. Did you ask them to test fit the chains when you rented them? Just remember that as the driver, you are ultimately responsible for your...

    Steering has play, does not return center and knock or thud from wheel on left turns

    Take your car in for one of those free safety inspections and then replace the parts they say are stuffed yourself. Don't forget to get a 4wheel alignment to finish the job :)

    $400 isn't too bad since it will do exactly what you want and be legal.

    Just Ordered My First Ever Holden, Opinions on Upgrades?

    Well for a start don't listen to serobix as he drives a V6. If money is not a problem then put the harrop blower on it. Money usually becomes a problem once you work out how much money yo'll need to spend on cars at this level so perhaps work out your budget and what you want from the car...

    I'm not sure that what you just said makes sense, to sum up: You're new to driving, You witnessed a more experienced driver lose control of a more powerful car, You now want to make your own car more powerful. How about you teach yourself restraint and learn to wait for things? Young people...

    This Sunday Ebay have 20% off Supercheap stuff

    I buy oil online but it's because the one I like is not always in stock in the local shops. Also it saves me having to drive around and look for the stuff. I factor my time value in as well when working out savings.

    Two holes on the bottom side of each door, they can get blocked and then the door fills with water.

    V6 Throttle Body upgrade. Anyone tried one of these ?

    The most restrictive thing you'll find isn't the throttle body, it's the engine. Money better spent elsewhere.

    how to spend some cash on an ls1 weekender

    I'm sure you've seen how easily a top fuel dragster smokes it up? yer i know they set the clutch etc but the driver doesnt just jam his foot flat to the boards n go. No tyre or suspension setup is going to stop the tyres spinning with a 10,000 hp engine. Class dismissed.

    how to spend some cash on an ls1 weekender

    That's one of the difference between a crap driver and a good one. Learning how to use the right foot progressively to feed in the power without spinning the wheels.

    Gmail in Outlook

    Outlook 2010 is fine for what you're doing. 0.82GB would take a fair while to syncronise especially if your internet connection is not super fast.

    Differences between SS and SS-V?

    The SS and the SSV in the VE series is the same as the SV8 and the SS in the VT - VZ series. The SV8 was just a poverty packed SS. It's frustrating that it was changes as people now tend to think my SS is the pov version.
