    $22k is far too much. Another dealer has one for sale for $25

    Certainly is night and day. Haven’t given it a good run yet as I want to get a few k’s on the diff but a very noticeable difference.

    Haven’t posted for a while but still visit the site. Just got the ute back after getting a few mods done. Happy with the increase to 291kw Damn Covid 19 gave me too much time to think and watch YouTube I think. Cam - BTR Stage 4 V2 Heads – Tremaniac CNC Ported High stall torque converter - 2500...

    Sure am and yes they did. Somehow the tyre shop got onto another new badge at a panel beaters in Sydney that was lying around on a shelf. So I still have 3. Crappy photo of how it looks now.

    [LS1] Replacing mufflers with hotdogs

    Yep I know from experience & my missus reminding me.................. Had a custom twin system put on mine with hi flow cats, hi flow mufflers & talked into hotdogs in place of the rear resonators. Ended up going to another shop to have the hot dogs taken off as I couldn't sneak around town. Get...

    Monaro CV8Z air induction

    That's expensive. If your going to spend that sort of money go a Duspeed OTR. $700 delivered to Vic from memory.

    Installing hard top, hard lid or hard cover?

    Try this link. Nearly identical to my Amcat hard lid installation. http://hsputelids.com/instructions/VU2.pdf These are the parts that came with mine - in case you need some bits. http://www.amcat.com.au/product/sp-hcc-vu-vy-vz-seal-plates-painted/

    **** me. The only pole in yard and yep the tyre changer, now ex tyre changer hit it. He would have been better of not saying he didn't hit it followed by "I didn't know I hit it".

    excess noise notice

    What can the council do about it? If you get a notice from the EPA it's a pain in the arse but what can the council do?

    I don't normally do car videos as they never sound the same but gave it a go. Cam doesn't even sound the same in the video. Didn't sink the boot in being filmed on the road. See if this works.

    Bit over the top with noise though now. Booked in next week to get rid of the hot dogs and get some thicker bodied resonators put on. Muffler man thinks that will do the job.

    It's the VCM 532. Think it used to be No 7? I’m not much into the dyno figures – probably obvious by my “good, bad or otherwise comment”. Only posted them as someone asked me earlier in this thread when I had the ute tuned the first time. It’s a different vehicle now and yes I am happy with...

    Got the cam kit, under drive kit & dyno done. 242KW at the wheels. 325HP I think. Good bad or otherwise - I'm not sure. Only went the smaller cam as didn't want to go down the stall converter path. Ute was running pretty **** when I dropped it off as the last bloke who tuned it would unlock it...

    Couple changes this week with a VCM cam kit going in and the shop who is doing the work suggesting to keep the turtle shell engine cover off for the heat so got these done as well. Wanted to keep the same colour theme.

    Gumtree

    Everybody does it differently. I don't put my phone number on and only use the Gumtree messaging. As long as you log into Gumtree to respond and don't answer the question via email then there is no issue with spam.

    My first car was one of these. Still regret selling it.

    Gumtree

    I should have clarified my last response. I only use a debit card for online and fund transfers. Only put enough money in to cover the purchase and transfer the money out as soon as the payment goes in. I have no issue with PayPal.
  25. Aussie XB12SS

    Gumtree

    Yeah I did. Would have used Paypal but he said he didn't have a PayPal account. I had all his details and we spoke on the phone before I agreed. I don't have anyone come to my house as I had a couple of people turn up & pretty sure they just wanted to have look around.

    Gumtree

    It's not like eBay. Payment options are not part of Gumtree. I only go COD. I have posted once but not until the money was in my bank account.

    Vx ss fuel consumption

    I get around 650 on a trip & 400 if lucky around town. VU SS twin 2.5" exhaust, 100 cell cats, extractors, custom MAF tune. Premium / ultimate seems to make little difference with mine.

    Engine mount won't cause the transmission to slip. Why wouldn't they just call you and asked if you wanted it replaced while it's there? But then again if they frigged the transmission maybe they shouldn't be touching it!

    I know the Growler thing has been done to death but couldnt be happier now I have gotten rid of the bloody thing. The Growler used to get that bloody hot I could barely touch it and having to have it mm perfect so as to not touch the power steering pulley and not rub on the Monaro bonnet was a...

    Decided to get rid of the SS Growler setup and go back to standard looking airbox and keep the SS intake pipe. Made no difference to how she runs or sounds. Engine bay nearly looks like it would have out of the factory now.

    Dealer servicing. Do you trust anyone else with your car?

    My last service was from a dealer in a little town with two mechanics. Dropped it off at 1:00, walked down the street & got a coffee, got back at 2:15 just in time to see it leaving for a test drive & I was gone by 2:30. No issues and had the option of a morning or afternoon service.

    Dealer servicing. Do you trust anyone else with your car?

    I was filthy. Sitting watching a video of what can happen to your property isn't the best feeling.

    Dealer servicing. Do you trust anyone else with your car?

    It had a rattle in the gear stick somewhere that they couldnt find and rattles aren't covered by warranty. They replaced the gear stick and assembly or whatever it's called free of charge and a rental for two seperate days free of charge while they tried to fix it then replaced the gear stick...

    Dealer servicing. Do you trust anyone else with your car?

    I'm anal with my vehicles and the dealer knows it. Asked them to stop test driving it down dirt roads and leaving it with the windows down and then this happened. Dropped my VF off for some to work to be done last December and as I start work early I dropped it off the night before then when I...

    Wheel Alignment after replacing Rear Crossmember Bushes?

    I had one done. Was advised to get one done but would have anyway. Cost of an alignment is cheap compared to tyres.
