I purchased a VU lion tailgate badge from eBay but when I went to fit it I noticed one of the pins are a different shape and won't fit: https://i.imgur.com/ttAzdIo.jpg Is there anything I can do to make it fit, like removing the one pin that won't fit?

Good Evening, I was looking for suggestions on reliable dent repair shops or mobile services in Sydney NSW to fix this unwanted curve on my ute: https://i.imgur.com/2kbjomW.jpg Thanks,

I have installed a catback exhaust system and pacemaker extractors on my VX Storm Ute. Which I've had them on for two years now. When I accelerate the car struggles and gives short bursts of power. It makes a sound as if there is something stuck in the exhaust, the best example I can give is...

I asked for the best stuff, pretty sure it is a high flow one. It cost me $350. Yeah mine seems to muffle at about 3-4rpm, sometimes on the high revs. It's weird it depends how much acceleration I give it and when. If it's off a stop light it'll sound ok, but going from 60 to 100 it sounds kinda...

If you mean the resonator then nope I don't have it. Came with a metal stainless steel cat converter, sports system, stainless tip and pacemaker extractors. I'm guessing I should of went for the redback system to get that note?

Here is my current exhaust note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-qb-Pc3vQ&feature=youtu.be This is what I am after: https://youtu.be/LY7AsCPD1ng?t=2s Would I pretty much need to get an entire new exhaust system to get that sound? Also I notice my exhaust kinda sounds muffled, I spent...

Yeah it definitely is. Learning and practice will only make me better, and a faster car too at that haha. Cheers for that, she goes alright hopefully I can get it lower next time around. Thanks for the tip, got to get that sequence down and I should be sweet.

Thanks for that suggestion, will look into getting that for the next time I go. :spot on: That's cool, sounds like it'll be very useful. Cheers for that. Guess just start practicing now and looking into that memcal.

Hi, So I hit the drag's today for the first time and I had a blast. I noticed I'm not really consistent with getting good launches. I vary from going off quick, to getting a delay of power when I floor it and then it kicks in. Or sometimes it kinda slugs out, like the exhaust will sound...

There wasn't a fan at the front, but at the back he had some long tube from my exhaust going out and a nightstick looking thing in one of my exhausts. Didn't know that was a thing, would of been interesting to see how it does in cold conditions since it feels more responsive in those conditions...

Well that's good to know that it's decent and not as bad as I originally thought, thanks for that analysis. It was an automatic car also, which explains more of the power loss. Anyway I don't think I will mod this anymore, this was more like a P-plater project. I might get myself a VE SS or...

I think that's where I got confused. Didn't take into consideration of drivetrain loss etc. I just look at the engine power and use those figures to know how fast that car would be. When I saw it I thought it was all looks, nice sound but a slug deep down. But anyways good to know all this...

Hi, So went for my first dyno run on my V6 VX Storm ute that has done 200,xxx kms and has a catback exhaust and pacemaker extractors, only minor mods as I'm still on my green's. And I was just curious to see how it performs with what I put into, I did put into account that it is also old and...

Hi, Stating to get involved in car events and wanting to hit the track soon. Thing is I'm only on my green P plates and obviously don't drive anything ridiculous fast compared to what I see at the track. My question is to anyone who has been, do you get placed into car classes? Thanks,

Updated first post.

I'm soon going to upgrade to a V8 but.. I don't know which model to get? I'm looking out where I can save and just mod the engine to give it that extra power. The VE SS look great, then again I have a VX Commodore and really like the look of it though I kind of want something different. I...

Spent an hour over the weekend prepping the rims. Washed them, and used a rim cleaning product to make sure there clean. Covered the brakes and started spraying each. I had three cans but only ended up using 1 and a half for all four rims. Later that night I went out and I noticed the original...

It has a catback and extractors so far. At this point I'm just considering my options, I'm probably better off leaving it and do some serious tuning on something else in the future. But at the same time I wan't to make the most of it's potential.

Had a feeling it might be a lite bit too much. What company do you recommenced?

Hi JC Forums, I received a quote on a tune for $1,699 for a Unichip and tune. I was told it will make 10-15% gains in power and torque. I want to know what 10-15% means though, when someone tells you that would you have an idea what kind of kW and Nm that produces? Also does this quote on...

Looking to buy leather seats and I came across a set of red ones, they look good and decent price. In your opinion would red work with anything other than red? (My ute is gold btw)

Sounds good, I'll give it a look.

Looking to plasti dip my rims matte black. Found this: https://www.dipyourcar.com/Kit-Wheels-cat/ Only they don't ship to Australia. I came across this site https://www.plastidip.net.au/ though I'm not sure about it. Where can I find a kit? Thanks,

I'm about to get my fulls and finally can use the money to buy a V8. Been driving around in a 2002 Storm Ute and love every bit of it, so much fun and it's only a V6. When searching for a car I see all these different models and makes but when I look down into specifications, engine power...

I'm mainly looking for car seats. I did a bit of searching and came across these: Holden Commodore VU SS UTE RED Leather Front Seats VY VZ VT VX in NSW | eBay What do you think?

When it stalled the battery light went on. It went away after that and hasn't happened again since. Hopefully it's a one off thing.

I don't have one, would it be useful to get some information from the car with it? Ok thanks I'll give it a try next time I go out tonight. And yeah I think VT & VX engines are identical. Should be fine.

First time I've experienced this problem since I've had the car for almost a year now. It's done just over 200,000km and I have put a catback and extractors on it and also a sound system but I don't think that would be the cause. It was pretty hot today also, if that could be something, but i...

I'll just disconnect the battery and leave it for 15 minutes, unbolt the screws and unhook the cable underneath from the seats. Using a socket and alan key in the process. It's my first time doing something like this so if I've missed anything please let me know.

Wanting to buy these for my ute : Holden Commodore VU SS UTE RED Leather Front Seats VY VZ VT VX in NSW | eBay I haven't found a guide for the ute, would it just be undoing the bolts and removing them as if it was a normal sedan? Thanks

Forget to ask, would there be a drone sound at high rpm?

Just what I want, I'll go with the mace. Thanks Doesn't sound too bad on YouTube but each to their own. I'll look into getting a mace. Thanks also.

Oh okay I see. I wouldn't mind getting one for the sound I just don't want power reduction from it. And I already have a cold air intake.

To be honest I just want it for the sound to go with my catback, don't want to go all out with spacers and an insulator. This is only a side project until I get something better in the long run.

Better off getting a mace? how much money would the cost? Also just saw a video that had a pod filter with it, I don't want any reduction I hear 50/50 about them pod filters. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUcD65D9OOA) Unless the pod filter is optional.

Looking into getting a growler kit, went to the place where I done my exhaust and he quoted me $700. Does that sound about right? Money isn't the problem I just don't want to get ripped off.

I was helping my dad out today, the ute was constantly on since 12:30 until about 4. Non stop highway driving, turned it off at least once or twice during the trip. Anyway when I was done and on my way home. I'm going to try my best to explain it, it sounded like a droning sound and when I was...

Hi, The other week my car I come out to see my car with this on the right quarter panel. http://i.imgur.com/ziWZE5V.jpg I've gotten a few quotes but they have said they won't get the colour exact. These quotes are ranging from $770-$1,200. I was wondering if there would be any panel...

It's one cat, and yes of course it's stainless. I forgot to add that in. I just typed up whatever it had on the invoice. As for the 60km/hr question it does feel more responsive and faster if I give it from start 0-60 but I mainly gradually increase my speed.

Nope just the exhaust and extractors, would it be best to go for that upgrade next?
