    Wheels to suit prussian steel

    Hey Liam .. what brand, style and size are those wheels please?

    Director

    I like the look of the new Director release by Holden. Anyone else think the wheels are a take on the HSV GTO? I like them. Very subtle but can be made to be a Wolf in sheeps clothing for sure.

    Pedders XA Coilovers Yes/No

    Hi waynebatt, yeah sorry, got my F and S mixed up. Initial thread amended. Check link below for the VFS-5. These are replacing the CV-5. Spoke with Daniel from B.Boss and he advised most, if not all, CV versions of Vossen rims are being replaced. Daniel advised finishes are gloss silver and...

    Pedders XA Coilovers Yes/No

    Hey all, Apologies if already discussed. I am considering the XA Coilovers suspension package from Pedders for my VF Redline. I can get a good price and was after any input from those who have already done this or have had experience with Pedders. I want a similar ride characteristic to...

    Headers....YAY or NAY????

    What does the extra half inch diameter provide? Lower note? Better flow? Higher gains? Do the 3" hang lower than the 21/2" system?

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    Took my MY15 Redline in for 9mth service on the WE (11000kms on clock). Told them my drivers seat moves. They are sourcing a replacement seat base under warranty. Not happy that this happened as I thought they fixed the issue prior to the update release, however happy they are changing it no...

    SSV Redline "Optional Black Roof" - what exactly is it?

    Funnily enough ... a Black painted roof. Seriously ... it is done at the HEC .. Holden Enhancement Centre and is painted in gloss black (Phantom) on Red, White, and Green coloured cars. About $500.

    To buy 12mth old SSV or wait for VF II

    Why does everyone care about values?? Resale this ... Holding value that ... for f#k sake ... Just buy the car you want and drive it. Brembo's all round ... Great. LS3 ... even better. At the end of the day, buy the car you want, mod it (or don't), and move on. Like I said ... if you care about...

    SII Rear Brembos on SI Redline

    Why do you want them? Nothing wrong with standard rears unless you are either racing or have an ego?

    To buy 12mth old SSV or wait for VF II

    If you care about resale values .... Don't buy a car!! Never put that into any equation when considering a purchase or that is all you will worry about. But the car, for the price you can afford and just drive it.

    VF Front Black out opinions.

    Sorry to hijack thread but has anyone changed the chrome Lion badging to gloss or Matt black? How easy to remove front and rear badge? Any precautions? Where did you get the new badges from?

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Was a Lease car order with all options ticked. Order went in around Sep/Oct and due to Black roof option, delivery wasn't until Feb/Mar 15. Dealer even mentioned when we spoke once 'oh you want a black spoiler'? As it is they had to paint twice as first time he wasn't happy with. Good to know he...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    The black roof on my Redline was painted at the HEC before delivery. Funny though that the rear wing was painted Black and fitted at the dealership? I believe the blackout plastics were also a dealer fit rather than at HEC.

    New SSV REDLINE fuel consumption?

    Only ever, ever use 98. Ultimate or Vortex. Best fuels give best performance.

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    True fact is .. If you want one .. get it. If not, then keep what you have and enjoy. There will always be something better. I had LS3 ... I currently have LS2 and an L77 .. Love them both cause they are V8, nothing less. Oh, and Xonar .. Do the words .. 'Weir' and 'doe' sound familiar?

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    I'm not ... doesn't take or cost much for the 40 KW gain with improved efficiency. Everything else is pretty much the same, and I'm not racing mine so not having rear Brembo's ... meh ..

    Remote start problem or just normal?

    Yep ... remote start car, unlock door, get in, foot on brake pedal, press start switch and away you go.

    SSv sedan Wing vs Lip

    Think you will find holes are in different positions between lip and wing, but if changing actual boot lid then all good. Lip only on a Senator .. nothing else.

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Son just got a fine for Fog lights on when not inclement weather. Was raining but had stopped. Revenue raising in my book. Sorry Op for going off thread.

    Who loves their vf?

    Drove my sons VE SV6 ute yesterday .. could not wait to get back in the Redline today ... much, much, much better. Prefer it over my E3 Senator. And that is saying something.

    Paddle shifters on Calais

    Depends on my mood at the time but I have used the Paddle Shift quite a bit and it is great, especially on early downshift for bends/corners as the auto isn't fast enough. Yes you have the sport shift on the stick ... but Paddles keep hands on the wheel. The one issue is Paddle shifting when the...

    Ve and vf the same ?

    Major changes VE to VF are bonnet and boot, and bars. Everything else is the same!

    LS3 for SS and LT1 for Clubsport/Maloo

    Speculation ... the ire of those who run their lives based on FACT!

    Ssv Redline different seats?

    Agree. I have noticed the holding ability of the Bucket Seats is poor. Any excessive lateral direction change and you feel like your in an FJ bench seat. Definitely notice the difference between the VF and my 2006 Maloo. The later is that much better at holding your ass steady. Well mine anyway.

    SSV Lowndes any real world opinions of them?...

    Couldn't see the value. Sans rear Brembo's, 20" wheels, Lowndes badge and Bonnet stripes .. mine is the same. And that much cheaper.
  36. S

    Mine .... finally!!

    I have Mothers. Use it on the Maloo when needed.
  37. S

    Mine .... finally!!

    Will give it a go.

    Mine .... finally!!

    It's brand new with 600kms. No car straight from factory should need claying.

    Mine .... finally!!

    Washed it for the first time today and I am not happy with Holden and their paint. It is nowhere near as smooth as I was expecting. Put on some Tech Wax, and in some areas Carnauba Wax, and when you run your fingers over the paint it feels and sounds like rubbing fine sandpaper. It is glossy...
