    VF Commodore Performance Intent with Striking New Sport Luxury Show Car

    Saw it in person today at the V8 test day. It actually looks quite good. The colour was very bright, I dont see it being a production colour but I guess we will wait and see. The interior looked really nice though and the back end really suits the car well, much nicer than the VE back.

    E3 cluster in SS

    Just an udpdate on this one. I got an E3 HSV cluster programmed and put into my SS yesterday and it looks great. The clusters can apparantly go into any VE. A bit of mucking around is nessesary but its possible, the guy who did it had one in his 06 VE. If anyone needs to know the detals...

    Liability concerning damage caused to house

    You either need to take care of it yourself or at the very least prove that you have taken steps to advise your neighbour of the damage that the roots are doing to your property and your requests for them to take action. Your neighbour cant be held liable if they were not informed of the...

    Calais V vs Calais

    Well it keeps them warm, because they stick out from the car. You know how your ears tend to get cold when its chily out :) Nah it acts like a demister would on your rear windscreen.

    only ethenol in sydney?

    Its a pretty good scam the petrol companies have going. Make it seem like its cheaper than regular 91 and charge the regular price for it. Extra 4c a litre in there pockets and they just phase out the regular stuff. Then any car that can't run it (or boat) is forced to pay a higher price for...

    Products aren't what they used to be these days!!

    Its quite simple really. Most of the items that people buy now that are cheap are designed to be throwaway items. Technology is moving quite quickly so there is always something better around the corner. If you have something that you want to last you a while you pay more for it, what the...

    Justice System a Joke!

    Well he wasn't speeding so clearly he is not the devil unlike the other hoons out there ! Pretty much a joke and the judge should be ashamed of herself. If you go to the effort to go home, get a hammer and return to a club with the intention of causing harm and at no point stop to think that...

    VZ SS Headlights - Changing Parkers.

    You don really have to remove anything to get them out, you just have to manoeuvre your hand around a bit. All you need to do is reach behind the headlight until you feel a little plastic tab behind where the parker sits, you then twist it and the whole thing comes out. Then you pull out the...

    Coalition unveil their broadband and internet policy

    Lets put this into perspective. $43 BILLION for a population of 22 Million (just over). Makes no sense to me to go to those extremes. I recognise the need for a faster network for future data needs but I cant imagine when in the near future we would require speeds over 100 Mbs. I think many...

    Insurance trouble

    Get extremely specific with them.. When did it happen (exact date and time) ? Where did it happen, street name or carpark if that's what was alleged ? Which police station was it reported too and what is the police report number ? What kind of accident was it ? If there alleging it was your...

    VE SV6 - worst air con EVER?

    Never had an issue with our sv6 so either 2 things - there is something wrong and you should go to a dealer and have the aircon fixed or.. - Your an Eskimo and you have unrealistic expectations :)

    [NSW] Re-register - written off- HELP!!!!

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when a friend of mine had there lexus IS200 re registered they went to the RTA to have it all done and the RTA required receipts for all parts used in the repairs. Luckily they did have all the receipts but it was the time it took to organize it all which...

    Hey Hey It's Saturday 'Black' Red Faces - Racist?

    I bet there is a bunch of people (largely Americans) who would say that its racist and they would have no idea why it's racist, there response would probably be "it just is". Alot of people have been conditioned to think this way due to the fact that the African Americans were their ancestors...

    VE Door issues

    Hi all, Has anyone here had an issue with any of the doors in the VE sounding hollow ? Our SV6 was fine when new and after about a year and a bit the drivers door started to sound very hollow and "tinny" when closed. All other doors still sound solid and well put together. A few weeks...

    difference between SV6 and Calais?

    Traction control and ESP are different systems. To put it extremely simplistically traction helps a car gain traction in a straight line and stops spinning wheels etc.. ESP helps you keep traction while going around a corner, its a very clever system which uses the cars breaking and can brake...

    3.0 litre V6 for the Commodore

    From what I have heard and read, the Zeta platform has had quite a bit of weight saving applied to it so VF or whatever the next major update is could very well be lighter than the porky VE. I also have a feeling the commodore will no be getting the 3.6 DI motor either. I dont like the idea...

    sv6 altezzas

    I like how they say "WILL NOT SUIT: ***OTHER COMMODORE MODELS***" It wont suit ANY commodore lol. Why is it so hard for people to make DECENT aftermarket tail lights for cars ?? I honestly cant think of 1 that I have previously liked. I suppose it is a subjective thing but the general...

    Swine Flu - Over hyped (rant)

    At first there was a genuine concern that swine flu was dangerous but that was because it did kill some healthy people however these people were in Mexico. They are practically 3rd world so of course it will affect them badly, the average toddler in Australia would have a better chance of...

    V6 Box into a 5.0L? can i do it?

    Are you guys talking bout the auto or the manual box here ?? I know the Manual is different but I thought the auto was pretty much the same. I assume the OP is talking about an auto cause its a caprice but can someone clarify if the autos are the same or different and if the autos are...

    Weird things you (or others) do at work

    If I didn't have any fun at work I would go mad. Aslong as we get our work done well, no one cares what we get up to providing it doesn't hurt or insult any one. In fact making those robots helped get me into a project at work because it showed creativity and thinking outside the box (bosses...

    Weird things you (or others) do at work

    Thought I would start a thread to see what weird things people do or make at work. We have several things such as a folder with some really weird or funny documents or names we come across and at my old work the guys in the warehouse had a Memory card called the "black box" that had all the...

    Just got my VCM tune done at CHE

    How torana355 has described the difference is exactly how I experienced the different in mine. The way i feel about it is that it basically keeps the characteristics of the power delivery of the alloytec but it enhances it. I also find fuel usage dropped a little on long distance drives, round...

    Roof racks flying off....anyone

    My guess would be that they wont cover any repairs. If you have not had them fit it and there is no proof of negligence than they are not liable. If the actual roof rack or mount had broken then they may come to the party but if not I would guess there response would be along the lines of "you...

    VZ Calais factory options

    Well my car buying is not what you would call methodical. I saw it at the same dealership that my Mother had to take her car, drove it and bought it. I don't tend too look for cars they tend to find me. I think black was more popular as it is a bit easier to look after so getting a shale...

    New Alcohol Tax

    The simple fact is that even if this increase in tax was a genuine attempt to slow down binge drinking they have gone about it way too narrow mindedly. From the begining there should have been other measures put in place to back up a single attempted law that did not seem to be anything more...

    Holden bashing on ford sites

    Yeh thats kinda my point. I don't think if people put up a post about there falcon that it would get that kind of reaction here. In fact I have seen posts on this forum before, I think it was a high performance XR6, obviously not the right demographic here but at least it doesn't get bagged...
