    Has anyone bought brake parts from SSA on Gumtree ?

    https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/brembo-problems-considering-legal-action.264938/#post-2900814 Sounds like this bloke, the one who tried to defraud PayPal.

    Biggest aftermarket wheel sizes for a VF Commodore.

    Reviving an old post, needed my guards rolled for some wider rear wheels. This bloke https://guardrolling.com.au/ did an awesome job. Used a tool to fold the edge rather than rolling, looks factory. Moved the bumper bracket screw and folded up the metal tab. No distortion or cracked paint.

    Thanks

    Adios amigo, may a big torquey comfy cruiser be in your future.

    Brake upgrade from SSV to SSVR Brembo's - Take 2

    Don’t sweat it. Lots of miles, no dramas with a credit card between wheel and calliper. I’d post picture but cannot find a way to reduce file size on phone.

    Installing exhaust systems

    Latest version of Hptuners allows you or your tuner to program the bimodal operation. Will cost an extra credit as the control is via the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). Have programmed my R8 to not shut the valves until later in Sport Mode. PS Also owe a thanks to Kelly and Craig at Zupps...

    Quiet Bimodel mufflers on VF1, ... wheres the noise?

    I ended up with some VF2 mufflers on my Tourer (long story) and they are much quieter than the HSV version, even with the relay pulled to keep the valves open. Just the way they are made I guess.

    Also you’re right about the brace, stock one will go back on if possible.

    Flick of the driver preference knob on the Tourer and bimodals shut and remain so, hoping that will keep plod at bay.

    vf2 ssv sportswagon exhaust opinions

    Reviving this thread. Just bought a 3” system for my tourer. Bought it from Mercury Mufflers in Brissy. It is the same system Harrop sell, has bimodal mufflers (uses your motors), 1 7/8” long tube headers, metal cats, 3.5” stainless tips and a modified cross tunnel brace to clear the bigger...

    Load rated tyre for the VF

    The reduction may be wheel strength related. The load rating of tyres is independent of tyre size, 102 rated is the same for 20 or 19 inch.

    Load rated tyre for the VF

    Yes, even a SS or Calais V8, which I believe have a 98 load rated tyre, if you have a V6 then what ever is on an Evoke is legit. There is no limit on rim diameter only on all up rolling diameter (tyre and rim) being +15mm/-26mm and not fouling the brakes/suspension. No limit on width on standard...

    Enough (for now) Think I will give the R8 (the one I bought so I wouldn't have to mod the SSV-R I ordered) a rest from mods for now. Have added VCM OTR CAI, Genie Tri-Ys, Metal Cats, LS9 cam, Crane 1.8 roller rockers, PAC valve springs, tool steel retainers and chrome moly locks. After a tune...

    VF Wheel Stud size?

    14mm is correct but 14.7mm only gives 0.35mm around the stud. Given there has to be some manufacturing tolerances of not only the stud pattern but also the stud, it is not surprising they won't fit easily. 16mm will be fine and the taper of the wheel nuts will centre the wheel. Take it you have...

    VFII Redline passenger seat

    Seating was part of the reason I opted for the R8 over the redline, was originally planning to buy a GTS interior of eBay and fit it but there is no provision for powering the passenger seat.
