    Horn not working after clock spring replacement

    So I replaced the clock spring in my 03 Vy Ss. Prior to the replacement the horn was working fine, I was just getting an srs airbag fault, which I was told by my mechanic was the clock spring. Assuming I'd broken the first clock spring I installed, I bought another and installed it for the...

    VZ SV6 exhaust crackle doesn't stop

    Well a few months after I put the exhaust on, the check powertrain light came on. So I took it to a local tuner, he hooked it up and disabled the O2 sensors which stopped the problem and after that, the crackling didn't stop

    VZ SV6 exhaust crackle doesn't stop

    Vz alloytec modifications.

    Probably fuel pump and injectors would be next? If you're spending that much on forced induction maybe an E85 setup for more gains? Or if you're interested in supercharging instead there's a guy selling a vortech sidemount with all the parts and doohickeys to bolt on for $4000

    Alloytec Tune

    Had a look at the mace recalibrated ECM tune, only thing is I can't really justify 10rwkw for $440, its cheaper than a dyno but for 10rwkw I can't really justify it. I have a full exhaust, pacemaker headers, hi flow cats, 2.25 xforce catback as well as a mace CAI and soon a manifold insulator...

    Traction Control playing up

    It's showing an ABS error every now and again now so I'm assuming it's either the module or a mechanic I spoke to suggested it could be the wheel speed sensor
