I've always been too scared to use the auto parking feature thing in my manual ute. Never used it, probably never will. The parking sensors I use all the time. I'd also put in what the fuel label says, I've only ever put BP ultimate 98 in mine.

Great to hear so many people have held onto them!

Just curious about who's held onto their vf2 ss since buying new 7-8yrs ago? I've still got my May (I think) 2017 built redline ute with just under 17,000kms. Just started driving it again after being parked up for 12-18 months, toyed with the idea of selling it while the market is good but my...

And one of my favourite old ones, bought it from a mate and sold it back to him. Wouldn'tmind buying it back again one day.

This is my current one

Nice mate, the early gen 1 liberties are a decent thing. I've had about 7 of them, mostly the rs versions, still got a 93 rs wagon in ruby mica.

I'm quite happy with the TPMS in my redline ute. I picked up a screw in one of the rear tyres at ~800kms on the clock, low pressure warning went off as I pulled in the driveway, got out and couldn't really tell the difference between the two 35 profile tyres. Took it off and a quick trip to the...

Sorry to get your hopes up! But you never know, they might be cheaper than you expect.

Na mate, the trims down the side of the windscreen/a pillars. These ones.

Yeah a decent cover is on the cards after this. Think I might hang my old trims from a tree as a sacrifice to the crow gods.

Yeah will be sussing out a few online and making more enquiries while I'm away at work. Hopefully have it sorted out so I can fix it when I get back next week.

Spoke with Holden, the side trims are cheap at $17ea but apparently the windscreen cowl trim rubber and side rubber are not available separately, only with glass... side trim and glass is 155ish and trim and windscreen is 1150ish. The hunt continues.

Haha that's all I own, after my mate who got me into firearms passed away I couldn't justify increasing my collection to anything larger as access to the properties I used to use went with him and I lost the passion for it a bit.

Yes, he lives on a bit on acerage in the adelaide hills, might be time for some target practice with the .177 air rifle or .22 rimfire.

Hopefully I can outsmart them...

Damn!

Haha, I've kept numerous vehicles up here on rotation over the last 5yrs and never had a problem till now. I'm a bombers supporter

Cheers mate, will have a look.

I'm not sure, I'll be hitting up holden about the bits I need, hopefully not too expensive.

It's a pain in the @$$, hopefully can find a fix for them.

It sits under a carport with 2 other victims, I mean vehicles. I was thinking about a cover but worried about paint damage/scratching with dirt and dust getting under it and wind flapping it. Might have to suss their heavy duty cover, see how secure it is.

Cheers mate, was hoping it was something like that and the glass didn't need removing.

It's coming to that, permanent fix.

Haha coming for your trims aswell!

Haha yeah I thought it might've been him sabotaging it initially but they've also eaten another 2 vehicles including his.

Evening all, been having trouble with crows eating the rubbers/trims on my redline ute that I keep parked up at a mates place. They have damaged the attatched trims, the rubber strip on the drivers side windscreen cowl trim, both trims that run either side of the windscreen, the rubber strip on...

Yeah in sa they won't let you transfer rego into your name without the previous registered operators details, but it still states on rego papers that proof of registration does not mean proof of ownership. To the op, do you have some form of proof of ownership/purchase of the vehicle? Does the...

Years ago I had a set of cheap and no name ones ~$1000 mark that were so stiff and rigid after years of going in/out of my driveway (which is a bit of a pain for modded cars as there is a reasonable amount of articulation required) I found small stress cracks in the upper corners of the rear...

I've had a couple of sets of bc coilovers in subarus and they were pretty decent for the money, much more compliant than other cheaper brands I've owned/driven in but not as good as some of the more exxy ones I've had. This was ~5yrs ago so not sure if they're still the same etc.

Yeah full throttle. Light throttle there is no difference I've noticed at all.

Below 2k I couldn't really tell any difference, 2-4k feels like it has more punch but could be a bit of a placebo effect as it sounds good now. When you wind it out you can tell it definitely has more go now then before, even without a tune yet

I fitted up the 1 7/8 and 3 inch system to my ls3 ute a while back, I love it, I planned to refit the bimodals but still haven't. No where as loud as I'd expected, can be driven without much noise, cold starts are noisy but that's about it.

Far out! That's a bit more than I'd expect.

Hey mate, I've done around 80k kms travelling oz in my Landcruiser and VT wagon mostly in outback sa and the top end. I've hit one roo and it had to be in the VT, was still drivable though. I've always tried to limit exposure by not driving at dawn and dusk, up around that way I've found the...

Cheers for the feedback, my ute doesn't get driven heaps due to working away, I've only put 11k kms on it since I picked it up new in may 17 so leaning more towards something a bit more aggressive. I've got a manual with the factory 3.7s.

Yeah you don't want to piss the neighbours off. I've just recently started fiddling with it, fitted up the difilippo/manta 1-7/8 headers and twin 3inch system a few weeks back, also put a vcm otr on last block off work. Now looking at doing a cam swap. How do you find the vcm16?

Yep, needs more everything

Seconded, this is the best sounding ls I've ever heard, friggin love it, need more start up vids. Pretty much the main inspiration for modifying my redline ute.

I fitted my di filippo 1-7/8 headers and 3inch system to my 2017 redline ute a fortnight ago, haven't retrofitted bimodal valves. It's definitely louder but I wouldn't say it's crazy loud (compared to some of the previous subarus I've owned) Cold starts in a semi enclosed carport is were I...

No mate
