Hi, am wondering if there are any differences in the body side skirts/sills and front and rear apron/lower lips between Executive/Equipe, Acclaim/Lumina, Calais, Berlina, S-Pack, SS etc ?? Are they all the same apart from some being black and others being the same colour as the body ?

Thanks guys :) Yes it certainly helps having access to a hoist 'Gaiter' haha And yes, I've kept the original exhaust tip 'Risky', just waiting for a sunny day to polish it up and fit it to the new system. Next on the to-do list is to give the paint a good wax and buff, paint the calipers &...

Been a while since I posted, so here is an update. New exhaust turned up at my work a few weeks back: Old exhaust system alongside the new: Up on the hoist at work: The exhaust is the 2.5" mandrel bent cat-back Manta system from Southwest Performance Exhausts in WA. Fitting was...

Thanks for the advice mate I'll have a go at them when the weather gets a bit better :)

Has anyone painted their own plastic sills aprons on their Commodore. Mine has black plastic and I'd like to paint them Quicksilver to match the rest of the car. Thanks

I'll second that. I just fitted the cat-back single muffler system to mine a few days ago and its awesome!! Highly recommend it :)

Cheers for the advice guys :) Risky I'll have a look at getting an aftermarket system as they seem to be reasonably priced now. Thanks

Hi all, my 2004 VY Series 2 Equipe has a six stacker Blaupunkt CD player that is not accepting any CDs, nor will it power on/off when the power switch is pushed. I've tried all the usual tricks like removing the two radio/cell-phone spade fuses to reset the unit, but to no avail. I have removed...

Sounds like you have a coolant leak mate. If it's leaking, the gauge will shoot up momentarily as the remaining water inside the system becomes very hot, before it then leak out. The temperature gauge will then plummet as there is no water surrounding the sensor for it 'sense the temperature...

So I ordered my 2.5" catback exhaust system last night, should be here end of next week :D

Just had a look at Mantas own website and they're mandrel bent aluminised steel. Send me some contact details and I'll organise payment :D

That sounds good. Would it be aluminised steel or just plain steel ? Also is it mandrel bent ?

Hey mate, that sounds great. Could you post a pic of the 'loud' system so I can see the type of muffler? If you have a 'cut away' picture of the muffler that would be even better. Cheers everyone for the help and advice, and fitting it won't be a problem as I'll use the hoist at my work.

Auto correct and predictive text

Hey mate how much for a catback to suit a VY SII, shipped to Melbourne ? Also by resonater, do you mean a muffler ? A picture of the system would be great

Hi guys, I'd like to get a 2.5" catback system for my VY SII Ecotec, but all the exhaust systems on eBay specifically state that their systems aren't suitable for Series 2 VY???

Got some new seat covers

Ok I'll have a look at the vacuum lines running to the heater tap over the weekend thanks

Pulled the bottom radiator hose off yesterday, and only 1 litre came out... Not sure where it's going, but I don't have any cross oil contamination so not a head issue.

Ok then I'll give that a go. Thanks!

Hey guys got a couple of cooling system related problems... 1. About four days ago the heater stopped blowing hot air when turned on. I know the car should be up to operating temperature as I drive half hour to work, but when I turn the fan on it just blows cold air. I haven't had much time to...

Normally it's $400 but I got a discount being in the industry. Might be alright

How's $300 installed for a 2.5" mandrel bent straight through cat back with hi flow muffler?

Thanks very much Risky, your tips are very helpful!! I will have a chat to the guys at work tomorrow and see who does our panel repairs.

Here is a few pics When I picked it up... Parked next to the other beast Gave it a good clean inside

Hi all, I have recently purchased a 2004 Series II VY Equipe sedan. Up until now, I've only owned 4x4s (which I learnt to drive in), and I felt that it was time to become a part of the Aussie icon. I'm a P plater but would like to keep it clean and aesthetically pleasing, as i do not wish to...

Hey guys thanks for the advice. The VY is my first 'car' as such after owning no less than three 4x4s (which I learnt to drive in, and lovingly maintained) since acquiring my licence. I agree with the advice given, I don't want to become another Bogan red neck with 'gangsta' rims and an...

Hi all, just bought a 2004 Series II VY Equipe and am wondering what some good mods would be to do to it ? I'm on my green Ps' so can't do any forced air induction mods, but keen to change the exhaust. Keen to hear what everyone's done to their cars. Pics would be much appreciated. BTW, I'm...
