It's the last thing I do after every wash. Once I have finished drying the car down with my Bowden's green towel I give the engine bay a wipe over. I do it at least twice a week so it stays pretty clean anyway. I'm sure others do it differently, but this works for me

Yes please. It's got about 100ks left in the tank. If you would be so kind;). Tomorrow I'm gonna pound the dust outta mine just so you have to fill up.:D:D:D

Ha! Smart arse. :p;)

I get about 50-60 ks extra out of a tank. Depending how you drive ;);)

I agree. The paint on my 17 redline is bloody horrible. I've painted cars and bikes in my shed and the floor is practically dirt and they turn out better than the one on the VF. It has that many marks that are in the clear and the orange peel is the worst. My VY ute was a million times better in...

You can keep ya cup holders ;) I'll loose them but gain 34kw with the 6.2lt engine :cool:

Really? What do they have the 2017 don't.

Redline. Awesome fun and still have a few luxuries. Well the 2017 does anyway, not sure of the earlier Redlines.

It's a VCM. I know with the VE which also had a VCM I cut the rubber. I'll just leave the one on the VF then. Cheers

Can anyone tell me when you get the otr on the VF, is it like on the VE where you had to cut the bonnet rubber out at the front to get maximum air flow? Thanks

Be a tight arse like me and look for a second hand system. I got an OTR for $300 and a full REX 1 7/8 tuned headers and full stainless 3" system for $550. Yeah the headers have a couple of dents but you can't see them once on the car.

Well they seem to grip ok, so far. However on the drive home I noticed i have a massive wheel alignment issue now. The car dives to the left bad. I didn't really think getting new rears would affect the front end, but I could be wrong.

Cheers. Yeah I defiantly want traction in the wet. I'll just have to see how these go, but I really didn't want to spend $500 per tyre that they wanted for the Potenza's, which is a bit of a cop out when I'll spend money on making it go harder. Anyway I'll just peel out of the tyre shop...

Cheers. I also found that with the original tyres. They seem to have a decent amount of tread left, but with the weight and power of the car it looses traction really easily. Getting them fitted today so I'll see how the go. Thanks

I'm just about to get a new pair of tyres for my VF Redline. I got about 22k out of the original Bridgestone Potenza tyres. got a few prices and they were getting to the $500 mark. So I'm looking at getting a pair of these. Anyone had these Falken tyres and what were they like? At $350 each they...

Mine is just a redline so they might not care as much as the special series.

Is there a way you can get the build sheet for your own car?

So Has anyone used the two new products that I mentioned?o_O

I'm gonna bring this back up as they are just realising some new(ish) products. Bowdens have the new Happy Ending Meguiars have Hybrid Ceramic Wax My question is I have clay bar rubbed my car, applied Autoglum polish then used Mothers Carnauba Wax, the one that comes in the tin not the bottle...

Cheers. looks good. I'll harass the local muppets at Ballarat Holden a bit more just to give them the shits. They think they're something special

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it's more of a flat black, not a full matte black. It's pretty **** that for the price of the car they can't even colour code or at least make it that same black as the rest of the blackout inserts on the rest of the car. I'll complain some more and see if they can...

This has been bugging me for a while now. I have a 2017 Redline sedan and the mirror covers are just in plain black. They aren't painted the same as the other blackout parts that have a slight metallic fleck to them they are just plain black. No matter how much I polish them within an hour they...

Yeah I've looked at that one and spoken to them. Worst part is I'm in Ballarat and they need the car for two days. I found a local bloke that can do it. He's price is a little more then that though

Cheers mate I'll pass on the xforce and go for a different catback

I've used the search function but can't really find any info. Still doing some exhaust research and I've been looking at the 7 series xforce. What it like compare to the standard Xforce 3'' catback? What are the differences? It's to go on a VFS2 manual. Thanks DF

Best line ever!:D:D

Holy ****! i didn't think they'd wear out that fast. I better check mine. I've done about 13,000ks and drive it like it should be driven.

I rang DPE and they said the mid section is about 4'' longer and the tail pipes are longer and need to be cut down. He said it'a an easy job if you get the exhaust cheap enough.

Has this sold yet?

that system id for a ute. I have already asked him what needs to be done to make it fit sedan and I think it might butcher it too much. What are your thoughts? Or can I use the whole system except the rear mufflers and just use my stock ones?

Rattling cats? never heard of that problem. What's makes them rattle? Cheers

Yeah that was my thought with a used exhaust. I'm gonna try for about 2gs on the setup. I'm gonna try for the small headers not wanted card and see how I go. Worst part is its in Perth so I can't just walk inn with cash like I normally would and low ball the hell out of him.

I live out of town on 10 acres. I don't have neighbours and if I did it would suck to be them. Every car and bike I have is loud. My 37 Ford pickup cuts out our TV reception when it' running. Ha!

I'm actually looking at a full Dfilippo system for $2500 second hand with a VCM otr included in the price. Not sure if I want to go a second hand one for that price. It's 3" but the headers are the smaller diameter ones.

They look the same as the LLA set. Probably the same in a different box. I have the LLAs in my new BT50. They work awesome but are half price to the VF version. Just thought there may have been something out there that everyone is using that's a quality product for a lower price.

The day I picked it up Sorta looks just like all the other 20" wheeled VF SSRs;)

Looking at upgrading the headlights on my VF SSVR. I was looking at the brand LLA which give you both high and low beam for $369. Is this the only option or is there another alternative others have used. Thanks DF...

Yeah but the only option these days to get a V8 is to buy a euro car, Mustang (HA!) or a year old new commonwhore. And for the price I know what I'd get, the best bang for buck. Or you could get a ZB. I guess the car yards are now thin king the same thing, where else do you get a V8 from that's...
