Id plate? Suspension in the ss compared to the Berlina etc. The ss would have fe2. It will also have all the other codes for things. A quick google search on those codes will reveal what they mean. Trims etc. Seems like a lot of trouble to go to, to make a mock ss tho
Id be cautious on how you go about fixing it. If its a serious accident you want to know whats going back on the road is safe. Not only for you. But for every other person around you... Just make sure its done right. For everyone else's sake if anything.
If you look in the members ride ve section there is a guy who did a forced induction instal
on his my12, he listed the price of everything. Can't remember whether it was turbo or supercharged.
I have a my12 sv6 wagon, and for what they are, they go great.
I've seen no need for engine...
im trying to think of how compressing it would even work?
ive watched king springs being made from being uncoiled, cut, heated, coiled, quenched, tempered, beadblasted and painted. assuming most springs are made this way, they are pretty well set in their ways, apart from sagging from age...
I know the series 1 and 2 are different in Aus.s1= 2006-early2010 and s2= late2010-2013
The Australia headlights changed slightly in shape between the series
I thought about that. I'll just chuck the badges in the spare space in the back and they can have them if they want. I plan on keeping this for a while thoigh. Bout time I owned a car longer than 2 years....
I think leaving the ssv on yours grennan would look good. I just didn't want anything on it at all. It doesnt sound like a v8 so it's not fooling anyone haha
There's a thread in the how to section using prepwash. I went to do this method but when I got to the shop the dude recommended the brand Rust-oleum Decal and Adhesive remover
Just sprayed it on. Let it seep into the sticky stuff. Fishing line behind the badges and then just a bit of elbow...
my 2012 sv6 wagon has no exhaust mods and ive fitted the AFM mufflers, they for one look better but make no extra noise on normal driving, maybe perhaps a bit on hard acceleration, but that could just be engine noise haha. i also paid $60 for them and they were in pretty good nic
yer i do, but they are for the series 1, as far as im aware, they dont have them for s2 yet.
my idea was either of the following(not my car, google image result)
C Type:
HSV style
It wouldnt be anything pre-fabbed. it would just be something I would make up with a string of...
Cheers. Pic is posted in my rides section of the rear. I have no problem with what it is. I think that seems to be a misconception. I love the car. I love that it's a Holden. I love it's a sv6. I just didn't necessarily like the badges plastered all over it
I do agree with the harsh comment...
As far as my research goes, I only know of the VE type, from what ive read, early VE, 08 and under have holes, anything after doesnt. Mine didnt
No idea for the VZ sorry.
Just an update. as per discussion in VE forum. I debadged her.
Pic of her new clean bum
I removed the Series II badges as well, id get photos but its in the shed atm. next time its out ill get some pics
Next on the list is deciding how I want to go about a set of DRL's
Whether to do a C and...
Cheers mate, the pipes are good. it doesnt sound any different which is what i wanted.
Did you find the Holden badge to leave more residue than the others? I used a eucalypt type badge/sticker removing spray which cleaned all the others off fine but the Holden badge has seemed to be more...
Not trying to hide the fact its a v6, doesnt bother me that it is. its more so about cleaning up the rear. they litter them with abbreviations of things in the car
i put the quad tips on, (the afm ones) purely for looks. i believe it looks better with them than the singles. If i wanted a ss, i...
Hi, just debadged the rear of my my12 wagon. cant decide on whether i should get rid of the holden badge.
So far removed:
Series II badges
SV6 Badge
weird green badge
SIDI (Ethanol Flex Fuel) Badge
Pictures:
Before:
After
Let me know what you think. I think it needs to come off, so does my...
looks the goods, i would say a touch lower to hug the tyres a bit better but u may live in an area where that it completely detrimental to the car's wellbeing
i dont mind a bit of chrome too ;)
Hey. Done a bit of searching but only come up with the headlight replacement option but has anyone done a DRL install that looks good on a series 2 sv6/ss front bar? I see they make the s1 fog light covers with drl but not s2. Cheers in advance.
Depending if you're in qld. I just pulled off my sv6 twin mufflers off in exchange for ss mufflers. Mine are from a 2012 sv6 wagon not sure if they fit yours but are for sale if interested
Haha so mission accomplished then! Haha.
Yer I couldn't warrant the v8 myself either. As a to and from work car it and living in Gold Coast. Stop start. Seemed a bit pointless. Young family too. So I "settled" with a 2012 sv6. Still a tonne of fun. I'll get a v8 later.... If they're still...
From black books:
Bernard: old wine is good wine.
Manny: but expensive wine, is good wine, also.
Bernard: but the older the wine, the gooder it is
Manny: Ah, but by the same token. The more expensive the wine, then the gooder it is also
+1 on ringing king springs. They have a bunch of guys in the office taking calls. You can visit direct and they also have a 3 hoist fitting Bay. They can give u all options and it doesn't cost you anything to get the answers direct. Just make sure you give them the he details they need to give...
A piccie of the SS mufflers fitted. Look so much better than the singles. Barely notice any change in sound. perhaps a touch louder on hard acceleration.
Best $60 spent so far!
Thinking about debading the SV6, Series II and SIDI badges off it. wayyyyy to much unnecessary information scribbled...
Just fit the ss afm mufflers to my 2012 sv6 wagon. Looks heaps better. Driving normally I don't even notice any difference. Only sounds a bit different if you give it a boot. And only cost me 60 bucks for the pair in pretty much perfect shape. Good option for people who want looks only change...
