You didn't happen to travel through Lismore on your way up the coast did you?

I might be wrong, but I don't think having the bimodal valves fitted to the DPE mufflers will have as much of an effect as they do on the standard mufflers due to the internal design of the standard mufflers v's the DPE mufflers. I have the DPE / walkinshaw system on my VF2 and asked about...

No, i haven't had any issues...the Victron gear is meant to be fairly good stuff, been using it for 4 years. Have there been problems switch mode type chargers?

I haven't got a video of it, ill see if i can do something on the weekend. I don't think mine is as loud as the one in this video, that's why i think this one has different rear mufflers.. it could be the tune or just the mufflers but it also sounds like this one has a little bit more chop to it...

Do you know if this car has the origional rear bimodal mufflers fitted to the walkinshaw headers, cats and centre section? The tail pipes look standard, and it has a different sound to my w407.

The change in size is at the center section resonators, they are 3" in, 2.5" out.

Are you running any LED lamps in your tail lights or headlights? I have a problem in another vehicle that has interference with aftermarket LED tail lights, only on radio stations when the lights are on or when braking, sometimes when the indicators flash. I'm going to try some ferrite filters...

I’d say it’s already in the BCM, just switched off at final programming on the production line.. I’ve noticed on a few production line videos that you can see the DRL’s on with the headlights at this point on the line.

The fronts on mine came fully assembled ready to fit, just had to remove the stock shock/spring assembly, install the new coilover assembly, reattach the sway bar link, brake and abs lines, that was it. With the rears, I removed the original top section from the original shock/spring, and fitted...

Mine has TEIN coil overs on it, the front is as low as they will go, the back has about another 15mm in it. I asked the question when I fitted them and was told that this was to maintain a legal ride height at the lowest setting, which it is, 100mm. The ride and handling with these is very good...

What brand of coil over did you fit? I have tein's on mine and found that the fronts don't seem to be able to be wound down as low as the rears. My fronts are as low as they will go, it still ride's nice and it has 100mm ground clearance (just), with the standard exhaust. I've since had headers...

I haven't used a CTEC, and haven't mounted the charger permanently in my ute, but have found this option to work well...Its a Victron Energy charger that I have hanging in the garage near where the front of the car is when it's parked, with a short fly lead and plug connected to the jump start...

I'm thinking it's on the system as "Not for redline"as the redlines have staggered wheels/tyres only.

Just had a look at a couple of ME's, spitfire with black highlights and a black with red, both awesome, i didn't think I liked the green much from seeing the photos, but in the flesh it's cool. If I was going to get one, I'd go spitfire....

If there is no socket and loom in the car to accept the plug that is on the loom of the SV6 bumper, (it would be on the drivers side, beside the radiator/below the headlight area) you could always have your auto elect hook them up with a DRL dimmer module. You won't need to worry about a switch...

When I switched auto off, the DRL's were on, when I switched to park light, the DRL's would go out and park lights on. I know I could never get my park lights and DRL's on at the same time before doing this mod...

Yes, exactly the same, both the blue ACC wire and the red 12V+ for the module are connected to the fuse tap, as 3rspecB has done, that way the module doesn't have power to it all the time, although the DRL's do turn off as soon as the engine is turned off when it's done this way. If you want...

I fitted the same module as 3rspecB on my series 2 redline yesterday and it works all good WITHOUT the relay. I did bench test it using a 12V power supply before fitting it to the car and it did flicker, even wiring it through a relay, but I put this down to the supply voltage only being 12V...

First time I've seen a colour coded sports armour... looks good!

Yea I was also wondering that, they look very close in design..

Hey panhead, do you remember what width and offset you were running front and rear on this ute?

Ive fitted tein coilovers to mine, only thing I found was that I don't have as much adjustment on the fronts to get it as low at the front as the rear. The fronts are wound down to the lowest they can go and the rear has about another 10mm lower they could go but my tyre to guard gap is a little...

You would like to think that you would need to prove that you have an MSE to be able to get them, so that people don't start dressing up any old commodore to look like one.....

Have you tried Holden spare parts? They will be able to order one for you...

The only other thing is rear axle load rating drops with the non staggered wheel and the 95 rated rear tyre. That might be shown on another placard or like the one above, shown at the bottom.

From the photo's it looks like only the front rotors are 2 piece, rears are just cross drilled? ....on the limited editions

Really nice, what brand coilovers did you go with?

Ha ha, i might go tell my neighbour who has a tough 69 camaro in his shed, like's his holden too, that he's not an enthusiast....and has little to no knowledge of cars... his wife drives a sante fe as well...

Time will tell i guess... i have a VW transporter that i use for work that has 55000k on it (I've had it from new) it's had both front struts replaced, all brake disks and pads replaced, a battery, rear springs replaced, goes through tyres like crazy and costs a fortune to service. Im more...

Yea no worries... Having a young family and the crap roads around where we live were probably the two main factors.. getting kids in and out of baby seats is heaps easier with the Sante Fe, seven seats is also handy, the thing has plenty of torque so loaded up with a trailer on, they get along...

Some aussies stupid yes, lol.. I've always loved my performance cars, but sometimes its about being able to get what is practical for their circumstances , my wife has a santa fe, and as much as i wasnt entirely comfortable purchasing it back in 2013, its actually been very good. Never thought i...

I think they called it custom candy fantale.... shame its not light my fire...

Wondering if that is fantale orange holden done on an SSV concept a few years back??

So will it be a complete respray? I'm thinking that I may have to go down the same path, eventually..... Serious rubber... what size are you going? Looking forward to seeing this!

Do you mind if I ask what has been the issue with your paintwork? Just curious as I have the same colour and have been disappointed with the paint, it already has a couple of stone chips on the bonnet with under 1000k on it and I'm really careful with where I drive it and not tailgating.....

My original plan was to get an MY17 SSVR 6sp ute in some like it hot red with the blackout kit and hadn't really looked into it too much, just thought that was what i would do... But after a holiday on the sunshine coast in august where i called into a dealer just to have a look at the colour in...

came across an interesting read... from media.gm.com when talking about the new exhaust it says, "The newly introduced bi-modal exhaust is activated using a button on VFII’s eight-inch colour touch-screen and intelligently detects driver input to create a distinct and unmistakable engine...

Yep, Some Like It Hot Red, another discontinued colour....

Im fairly sure i notice a difference with mine with the fuse out, could it have anything to do with vehicle speed -if your moving or not and adjusting the bi-modals to suit how its being driven, so with the fuse in, if you take off and just putt around taking it easy (even in loud mode )they...
