Ok I see there are 2 difillippo shops in Melton. They are right next to each other. Which one though?

So do u guys reckon I should ring up difilippo in Melton and get them to look at it and maybe modify it? Will they do that?

yeah I got them brand new. Genuine DPE. From Beau, lsx performanceparts.com.au, a difilippo distributor.

I thought exhaust systems are bolt ons. Especially expensive ones like difillipo, any extra modification including cutting and bending should all been done at fabrication, I just bolt them on, just like my Xforce system, which was a perfect fit in terms of tucking up. Well, any suggestions for...

Thanks for the reply guys. I lowered it because I really dislike the stock ride height look, and there's no way I will raise it. If you read my post properly, you would have read that I already took it to Blitz Custom Exhaust, a specialist in fabricating and fitting exhaust systems, and I...

Hi all, I recently installed a full Difillipo exhaust system, 1-7/8 headers with 3" pipes. It certainly sounds much throatier and deeper than my previous exforce system. However, it hangs a lot lower too, from the cats to the rear pipes. I lowered my car 2 years ago with King Springs SSSL...

Yep cheers for the reply guys. I might get a professional to do it. $330 walk in walk out. I will stuff it up for sure since I never tried it before. Yes, definitely take it off before the expire date, as they go brittle. Also I don't think I will keep the car till the roof rusts, like an HQ...

Just wondering anyone used the 3M gloss black film to make their roof look black? I was gonna get it painted but thought of this idea... Is it ok for the paint job under it? I read the description and DIY tips on eBay's 3M wrap kits, seems easy, clean roof, spray water, put down film...

Thanks guys especially Foggsy. I just tried the abs trick and it seems the same. However, I jumped into my friend's ve ss which is full stock form and tried his pedal. To my surprise it is very much the same. So I think I don't actually have a problem here, just my weird thoughts in my...

Hi Gents, I bought a VE Ultimate Brake kit last Thursday through JHP. I have few concerns. - The pedal feel. I was wondering how stiff the pedals should feel after the installation. Especially considering I have also installed a set of SafeBrake braided lines with my kit. This is...

I have bought it for my 09 SSV last year from Vic Performance in Hoppers Crossing, Melbourne, and installed it myself. Maf version that is. I can confirm that there were no warning lights came on and the car drove fine, with much increased down low torque response and didn't require a tune at...

omg, why I cant post URLs even?

dono why the hell it's coming up like that? it's at ############ then click on interior accessories, then click on cables and connectors down the bottom.

These are the cables you will need to connect between the camera and the screen. Choose the type depending on your series. www.############/holdenve/VE-Connectors-Cables.htm

Yeah, I did a maf tune with VCM OTR, full exhaust, and it gave me P1516 and P2101 codes on 2 separate occasions. Both with Check Engine light and warning, with reduced power and the car was idling real rough and undrivable. Cleared it with OBD2 dongle and my phone app, and it was driving...

Also, use a blue tooth OBD2 dongle on the diagnostic port and Carista app on an Android phone to clear this code and see if it comes back.

Sounds like a slipping clutch mate, to confirm it, you can try this: cruising at 80kays, in top gear, then clutch kick it. Watch the revs. The revs should jump up then fall down to where it was very rapidly as u disengage and engage the clutch. If the revs when up then comes down slowly or...

Pedders coilovers are pretty stiff but the ride quality is shocking. To get a decent cornering for a VE, considering its weight, size, and steering geometry, I think Tein coilovers are your best bet, along with whiteline front and rear heavy duty sway bars. After all, u were used to a wrx...

I personally don't recommend these. I have seen them in person. When turned off, they look tacky and out of place. When turned on, the DRLs are not that bright and look very cheap and aftermarket. The high beams don't work too well coz the reflectors cant work well due to their shape and...

Cheers vongy...yeah wot a pitty mate! shipping would cost me too much too...I have been looking on gumtree too.

Yes thanks Ducker, that was my thought after much research too. That way I can reduce lots of head aches, but HSV rims are so expensive! omg!! and I only like the Black/Machined E3 GTS rims. Eg. this one...

ok I see. Will that off set clear brembos tho? I am thinking of getting a set.

Geez...my car is metallic silver... I would think twice about guard rolling. How about this off set? 20X8.5 FRONT, 20X9.5 REAR, OFFSET 45P If I get a pair of 5mm wheel spacers for the rears, that will make them +50 offset, and the rims are 1/2 inch narrower, I can also fit slightly narrower...

ok cheers guys. How much is guard rolling and where about can I get them done in melb?

Hi all, I am lowering my car with SSSL and GT short shockers soon, is guard rolling necessary if I wanna fit 20x10 rims for the rear?? Offset is +42. Can anyone share with me about their lowering/rims experience? Cheers.

Well after ringing around and being shocked for the price that certain places wanna charge me, I took a chance and rang Ballan Holden, wow! To my utter pleasant shock, they only wanted $300 for the lot!! That's installation of the springs and shockers and strut top bushes, and a four wheel...

yeah take ur stock manifolds and cats to a steel recycler, they weigh them and pay u for them, coz cats have gold in them. I sold mine to them and got $40. Upgrade wise, get some extractors and cats, ranging from $950 - $1800 depends on ur choice of primary size, 1 3/4, 1 7/8 etc, material...

With my xforce extractors, cats, and cat back, I had no problem whatsoever, in regards to fitting, alignment, workmanship and finish etc. Very happy. The batch no. on them were around March 2013. So I guess the later versions are better.

I put xforce cat back on first, and it didn't make much rumble at all, only at down change, bit of a crackle and pop, and it is slightly louder. Then I put VCM OTR on, make no noticeable audible difference. Then I put xforce extractors and cats on, ...mate, it was much louder and...

1. Vic Performance Parts, 2/5 Hammer Crt Hoppers Crossing, 8360 3883, I got my MAF version for $518 cash upon pickup. They listed theirs on ebay for $550. 2. Bonnet hood is W*** factor for sure. The OTR literally touches and even presses hard up against the hood lining. It even has a...

I think they are like $5000 + shipping on ebay, calipers, pads and discs. Very dear stuff!

Thanks Sean but I rather do the work myself if I have to go to a rip off dealer. I know why businesses don't wanna do the work with my parts...that's because they don't get their own cut the parts prices. Hence they bring out the so called "warranty issue". Surely someone in Melbourne area...

Hi all, I have got a set of king springs and gt short shocks. Anyone knows where I can take my car in for lowering and a 4 wheel alignment? Pedders in Hoppers won't do it unless u use their parts. Thanks guys.

Matt black Lenso D1R deep dish rims. 20X8.5 & 10. Lower ur car for maximum visual effect.

Change the plugs to suit gas, they usually run hotter plugs. Change the leads, and make sure all the new leads promptly "click" onto the new plugs when u install them. If that fails, u need to take it into a workshop that has an osciliscope or even a dyno to do a running test.

I would get a coloured set of brembos as a visual highlight. U want to show off the expensive performance gadges rite? so go yellow or red. How much was the set of brakes if u don't mind telling?

fan belt most likely mate. change it.

What sort of noise? whining? rattling? ticking? clucking? Cracked drive place will give u a very nasty drive train vibration all the time, especially at high revs, it wont go away. Sticking starter pinion should only last for around 3 sec after cranking, otherwise the shaft would have snapped...
