Hey Guys,Went out for bit Fun Today, Hit second gear 110Kmh,Then it was like Engine Stopped and said No More.Third Gear 160Kmh Same thing happened. Engine didn't Exactly Stop,But won't go any Further..No where near the Redline either. Only 4,500KM.ARE these Engines Speed Limited till they...

Yes Sean880 your right,3,000km Service was FREE so Oil and Filter WAS NOT Changed. So 700ML used in 4,700 is Nuthin to Worry about. As for PENRITE OIL They say its alright to use,They add 10 to make it 40 Which I think is neither here or there. MOBIL 1=RIPOFF,,,Have Read quite a bit on Oil...

Hi People, Just checked the oil in my SSV L77 Engine and was down to 3rd Hole on Dipstick,Topped it up with 700ml Oil,Considering it has only done 4,700KM is that a lot to Burn in a new Engine?I realise it needs to wear in,Just wondering what you guys think? Using Penrite HPR 5 5W40,Which i...

Typical Dumb Ass Australian answers concerning Speed.How many times do we get to a Passing Lane and one car Pulls out to Pass.Oh no I'm at 101Kmh so I will sit beside you then Pull in Behind you when the Lane Ends....PASS with Foot down or Dont Pass at ALL...Obviously a lot here haven't been out...

Congrats,,,,,,,Have one in Black,Manual,,,,,AM still in Love....:):beer chug:

Be interesting to see if your CEL comes on....

I like the look of those Hurricane Headers and Cats,,,,,How much would those headers be on their Own? Also can you get different Cats to Suit as this wouldn't bolt up to my 3 inch Xforce Catback.. Maybe NAAF could answer this and Price me the same Headers,,1/78.. GREAT PHOTOS....:)

So Naa Fan,does that mean hurricane Headers with Manta Cats will not now bolt straight on to an Xforce 3 inch Catback?

By the Way,what have u Decided on? I am also looking at finishing off my 3 inch Catback ,Xforce,,,,,Looking at 1/78 Hurricane Headers and Manta Cats,,,Is that what you were quoted for? Is that Stainless.

Try Falken Tyres,I have 20 inch on mine,Round $300 each,so would be cheaper for 18 inch. Bought mine in Geelong,I also live in the Bool.....Feckin Useless Here, :)

^ Things change,need to keep up with Technology,Old Threads are Just That.

Hey guys,Want to get VCM intake for my Ve SSV, Question is can I get the Maff one and bolt it straight in,and get no Check Engine Light,with no Tune? Would like to go Maffless later on when I do Headers and cam then have a tune done.I have read you can get the extra bit to go Maffless further...

Picked up my new Car end of November. Photos included,,Dealer Pick up,Home in Garage and What it looks like now.

Hey, I'm 5 Weeks into my SSV Series ,Mines tight as a Fishes Ass also,Hoping it will loosen up soon,Only done 900 Km.

No more than $300, I know some of the well known can cost $700,,, Yikes :))
