There's also FHRX Studios at Caringbah NSW wherever that is? They are quite reputable as well. If that's close to you I would definitely give them a go.

I'm not sure how hard they are to steal without a key? I would have thought quite difficult with all the new technology etc. There's a bloke in the Queensland chapter who had his SSV stolen by someone prying the electric roller door for the garage open, gaining access to the house and the car...

Yeah I don't think they would of taken the engine. I didn't have time to get out and have a look. I'd say it was just young kids, took it for a joy ride then put it on bricks and took the wheels and set it alight. They wouldn't of known how to take anything else. Such a waste of a car just...

G'day guys, couldn't believe what I saw yesterday! Driving along Gardner Rd Rochedale (brisbane) saw a burnt out VE Ute on the side of the road. Was quite a sad sight, feel sorry for who every owned it. Geeze there's some low life scum out there. Who could do this to such a nice car!

Any reputable car audio shop would be able to do one for you. I would try and go to a specialist car audio place that only does car audio. I would stay away from Strathfield, Autobarn, JB HiFi etc. Although these places would be able to make one for you I just think a specialist store would...

I got 57 correct 2 wrong

G'day mate, not sure about getting behind the grills but to remove the back seat put the drivers and passenger seat all the way forward. Hop in the back on the floor facing the back. Put your knee into the front of the back seat and put a fair bit of pressure on it pushing towards the back of...

G'day mate, yeah I had one fitted by the dealer. I reckon it was the biggest waste of money! It doesn't do anything extra that the standard one doesn't already do. Plus it randomly goes off for no reason. I've had it for just over a year and a half and its probly gone off 3-4 times in that...

Mate, its all pretty easy actually. Everything is just clipped together. You start with the big plastic bit under the steering wheel. Just firmly pull on the bottom of that (bottom obviously being down towards the pedals) and you should hear it click and feel it come down etc then do the same...

Here are a few pics of my VE for reference/ideas mate. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/car-audio/43383d1198411686-ve-audio-upgrades-dsc01549.jpg http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/ve-holden-commodore-2006/43366d1198379071-new-ve-commodore-dsc015511.jpg...

Haha I got my younger brother good. The first time 2 old ladies turned up and we have a glass front door so I saw them coming through the front gate. I yelled out to my brother that someone was here for him. So he answered the front door and he had a Giordano shirt on with one of their...

Geeze my younger brother is getting it good! He left school in grade 10 and got an electrical and instrumentation apprenticeship with Incitec Pivot. He's been 2nd year for a couple of months now. He was getting $440 for a 40 hour week, rdo every 2nd Monday and unlimited sick days! He was...

I've got an IDMax 12. It is a very good sub! Very good SQ but can also play very loud if you want and not loose much SQ. It can handle being fed 200-1000 watts RMS. Would highly recommend this sub. However it it may be a little expensive for your budget.

The reason I used BP for a year and a half was that I was speaking to this guy a year and a half ago who's job was to go around to fuel stations and service/clean there underground fuel tanks. He said that the smaller independent stations were the worst their tanks were disgusting and the...

Yeah mate, I wouldn't get a laptop unless you REALLY want/need portability. If you don't mind having to use your computer in the same spot every time definitely go with a Desktop. As mentioned by others you get a lot more for your $. A lot simpler to fix meaning a lot cheaper to fix. You've...

Yes I believe your right. I don't take notice of what its called all I know is its the red pump and has 98ron on it and it gives me better economy lol. But I had a quick look on google and it seems that Shell Optimax was replaced with Shell V Power. Thanks for clearing it up for me mate.

I used to use BP Ultimate religiously! I have been putting only BP Ultimate in since I bought the car new from the dealer. I had done this for a year and a half until recently. I decided to try Shell Optimax or whatever they call their 98RON. I can tell you I now use Shell religiously! When...

I've always been with optus since my first phone. Their coverage is pretty decent. I do notice that Telstra Next G is better in rural areas though. All our work mobiles, fixed lines and broadband are with Telstra. We've just come off a 24mnth contract so we've been speaking to all the...

Yeah mines an 07 as well

Hey mate, there are at least 5 threads that I know of about this exact topic in the audio section and ve section. At least 2 on the first page of the audio section (not including yours). Have a bit of a search through as all your questions and more have been covered in detail in these other...

Yeah mate mine sometimes randomly beeps and quickly displays the ESP off picture thing on the display. When it happens it happens in a flash so you have to be quick to catch it, but it doesn't turn the ESP off or anything. Just a random beep and flash saying ESP off then it quickly goes away...

It's been a year or two since I was researching LOC's and the 3Sixty's etc for my VE. Never heard of the Audison BitOne back then. I would go with something from Audison over RF for sure!

Yeah mate, best option is a LOC (Line Output Converter) which converts your speaker outputs from the factory H/U into RCA inputs for your amp(s). Go with a good quality one not a cheapie. Go with the LC6i as Enforcer mentioned or a Peripheral Sven4. If your heavily into your audio and like to...

Yeah I would suggest keeping all settings on the H/U flat. ie bass on 0 treble on 0 etc. and no preset equalizer's on either. Adjust the HPF's on the speaker amp as suggested by holdenboy.

Dude how old are you! And how did you get your hands on any sort of car back then lol.

Yeah mate, just splice into the front speaker wires behind the H/U and run them into the 5th and 6th channels on the LC6. So you will have the front speaker outputs from the H/U going to ch1,2 and 5,6 on the LC6 and the rear speaker outputs from the H/U going to ch3,4 on the LC6. Ch1,2,3,4...

Hahaha classic! Nice one CSP

Yeah I heard that they were pretty good. I was told that the Peripheral SVEN4 by stinger was just as good so I went with one of them for $150. It is 4ch though whereas the LC6 is 6ch. Depends what you want to run. I also bought a cheapie ($20) and put that in just to see/hear the difference...

Yeah definitely install the crossovers that came with the speakers. Mine were installed either side of the head unit behind the triangular shaped kick panels. There was plenty of room in there. I had these professionally installed but I installed an amp and speakers in the rear so I had to...

Yes LOC is by far the best/cheapest option. Make sure you pay for a decent one though. Not the cheap ones you can get for under $50. Bit of a diagram here I did. This guy wanted to keep the speakers running off the h/u though and just run his subs off of an amp. If you wanted to run your...

Yeah Mr Muffler is pretty exy to I think but you definitely get a very good system. The F1 mufflers are designed by Brad himself so he gets exactly what he wants rather than having to try and make other branded mufflers work with his system.

Mate my suggestion would be an F1 system by Mr Muffler. They are brisbane based but they have done exausts for people in other states as well. I'm not sure if they have exhaust shops in other states that install their systems or whether they ship their system to you and you have to get it...

Haha never knew Drew Carey was the host of US Price is Right.

Agreed, pretty poor effort on their behalf.

I can't say or judge the others as I haven't heard much about them but the driver is a lowlife w*nker. He deserves a good beating or two to put him in his place. Teenage fugitive evades police again

Holden are recalling 9000 odd VZ cars with dodgy side airbags. Apparently they can go off while your getting out of the car. Holden recalls 9000 cars

I reckon you may be able to get them down a little but not much. That's pretty low as it is. I think they would throw in accessories for free rather than drop the price. Eg they might want to give you floor mats and tint the windows for $29,990 instead of dropping it down to $29,500 etc.

Mate if it was up to me I would go the SS. I made the mistake of going a 6cyl when I had the money to get a SS or SSV. Wish I had gone the SS option at least. As already said, the SV6 and SS are pretty much exactly the same just one has the 195kw V6 and the other has a 270kw V8. I reckon it...

Hahaha yeah I paid $44,389 for my Lumina lol that included a whole lot of extras though. Just the car itself I got for $33,000. But yea I had the dealer fit a whole lot of extras so my total bill drive away was $44,389. Do regret it now though. Should have got an SS at least. Could have...
