    I have a SSV ute and I have 4-1 long tube 1 3/8 headers with 200 cell cats and Magna flow 2.5 exhaust sounds great and no drone.

    Christ, tonight is just gut-wrenching. They've already built the last ones.

    Don't get me wrong I don't like our pollies and they don't do anywhere enough for this country and its people. But the closing of Holden was all from GM America it would not change this fact no matter how much money or tarrifs and tax cut they gave them GM was stopping us from manufacturing...

    Service ESP.

    Why not take it back to Holden and have them sort it out under warranty?

    Down Sizing Wheels

    Mate one business card clearance from break caliper that's only 0.5mm that is way too close, your breaks get hot caliper expands rim hits caliper. Personally I wouldn't fit any rim with less than two mm clearance.

    Non Genuine HSV Wheels

    The copy HSV wheels are casting and HSV are forged so that is why a big price difference. And forged are a lot stronger and less likely to crack or break if they get a heavy impact. Plus the genuine are a lot lighter too.

    Stinger GT vs SSV Redline 0-100 & 1/4 Mile

    It's all media bullshit they want to make the Stinger look better than it really is. Holden driver did not push the SS hard at all.

    60 day policy - anyone tested it yet?

    I had a problem with my first UTE a new VU SS same thing hard shifts 1st to 2nd. Discussion with Holden told them not happy having a reconditioned gearbox in a new car so they replaced it with a brand new one. All under warranty, my tip is don't get angry and start yelling making threats stay...

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Dealers extended warranties are covered by insurance companies so if you do any modifications then the chances of them covering you is zero. So hence why it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

    Is anyone considering the NG commodore after their VF?

    I would rather buy a 3yr old HSV than the new **** box NG/ZB VXR or what ever they call it next week. It will never be a Commodore to me and it will ever have a spot in my driveway. I have purchased 7 new Commodore variants over the last 20yrs. I will not buy Holden again. They lost me as a...

    Redline front tyre choices

    I have the Michelin pilot sport 4s 275x20 rear and 245x20 front and I am loving them very grippy in the wet and low road noise. Paid $1800 with 4wheel alignment and balance. The contis were over 2k so small savings on a great tyre They look great on the car looks a lot fatter than a 275

    Sv6 brake upgrade with staggered rear wheels??

    Go try Harrop they do a slim 4pot caliper that my fit. Looks like you have a deep concave rim which is probably going to be the problem. I found all the rims I liked with deep concave the inside rim centre would hit the Brembo caliper only option I had was to go custom fit off set but just to...

    2017 SSV Redline Ute Spare Wheel

    You need to find the spear wheel holder from a Maloo E or F series will fit, also the jack and wheel brace kit from any Holden ute will work. Standard wheel hoists from ute will not fit Center hole on VF Redline wheels to small

    commodore and ute sales down

    Ute sales down! Think it has to do with the price dealers are asking. I was in a dealership last week seen a 2017 Redline ute in spitfire sticker price $59990 + on roads. So that is over 9k more then I paid last year for the same car and I got factory options, window tinting and opti coat inside...

    VF Maloo Hand brake styck on

    Just a thought have you put car in neutral and see if it rolls maybe just a faulty light in dashboard. I don't know how to disable park assist. Sorry can't be of more help

    Rear brakes help...

    I have a VF2 Redline done 7500ks no brake squealing at all I also have a E3 HSV done 30000ks and no squealing at all so would seem some do and some don't. I do clean the wheels on a regular basis to keep the dust down so not sure if this helps to limit the squealing

    HF20 staggered

    My bad did not read what he has. Was thinking SSVR 19 wheels

    HF20 staggered

    Just remember the $2000 price is for rim, tyre and your original rims and tyre they keep. Personally I think it's a ripoff you can sell your rims and tyres on eBay for $2-2.5k and pay 2k for much nicer rims and tyres in just about any colour you like just my opinion.

    VF Ute tray (tub)

    It seems to be normal as mine is also coming away from the body and I only carry my dog in the back. I have been thinking of using double sided tape to hold it up against the cab.

    Value of HSV 30 Year Anniversary models

    If you are worrying about resale value then don't buy new and get a demo or low Km one. Where the initial depreciation has all ready happened. At the end of the day these cars will only have the value that supply and demand dictate.

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    I would not go claiming anything about this car flogging any HSV or Redline just yet. These are claims by Kia, let's wait and see after it has arrived and been driven and lived with for 25000ks. But I will say it does sound the business and I do like how it looks. I will definitely give it a go

    Redline brake upgrade questions

    I don't think the Brembo calipers are that bad you need to replace them. First thing I would do is replace all rubber break lines with breaded stainless steel lines this will improve your breaking and limiting break fad on track days. Then would look at pads and a rotator upgrade. But that's...

    When will you you flip your Zeta?

    For me I have a SSVR LS3 ute I will see how it looks and feels in 5years, but I am leaning towards keeping her as it is the last UTE of this style. I have made a few small external changes just to be a bit different from the rest like wheels and grill very happy the way it looks and drives.
