Hey VFII-17. Yes absolutely loved it in Melbourne. Quite special to be close to the MCG on such a big day. On the Monday before the final we had a tour of the ground which was awesome. Even went into the Richmond dressing rooms and where the cricketers rooms are and members lounge etc...

Thanks Zero.

Hey VFII-17. I'm a Queenslander who get's it no worries mate. YELLOW and BLACK it is then. I'm hoping to hear the tiger army roar tomorrow arvo. Even tried to buy a Richmond jumper, no luck anywhere. Beautiful city you have here. Friendly people. Friendly drivers. Outstanding tucker...

Hello Zero. I'm down in Melbourne for a few days enjoying the city highlights. Looks like only a few colours here this week :- Black and gold or Red, gold and navy blue ? Just reading about the wax polishing, i was wondering what you do to maintain the opticoat lustre if anything after a few...

Hey Woodman. Very nice mate. Welcome to the LMF redline club. I believe it was my post your referring to re the side stripe. I'm suprised more owners don't order them. Nice to see another one in Qld. I'm sure you'll agree our sunshine really sets this colour off. Did you pick that plate...

Greetings members. Went for a nice leisurely drive on the weekend for a couple of hundred k's. I must be driving like Granma. Happy with the economy figures sitting at 108 on cruise control. Parked when i took the photo of course.

Hey VFII-17. Congrats on finally getting your baby home and welcome to the club mate. Looks awesome. Bet your stoked and keep looking at it all the time. I did too when i first got it home. My redline is a LMF manual as well, but I'm up in N.Q. As for the blemishes, my bonnet is ok but i...

Hey Cyanpixie. Congrats. Looks Awesome. Enjoy it mate.

Hey Martin. The Redline is certainly living up to expectations, the only thing is I'm getting used to the grunt its got so it doesn't seem quite as spectacular to drive as when i brought it home but still very satisfying nevertheless. Probably the most comments i receive are in relation to the...

Hello Martin. Haven't done much with the ute other than take parts off it to assist with panel repairs, usual rust as they say. I try to start it every fortnight or so but. Ah the Redline.....very hard to walk past and very very nice to take for a blast ! When do they start your mse build mate ?

Very nice mate. Enjoy the pick up day and welcome to the LMF Redline club.

Hey Cuda. The gap is 5mm higher on the redline. But then the sv6 is a 2015 series 1 with its standard 18" rims and tyres vs 19's on the redline. Maybe some suspension sag or wear on the sv6 or perhaps there could be minor styling dimension differences on the front lower panel series1 vs...

Hey Cuda. I'll measure them tonight when i get home.

Hey VS 5.0. Measured roughly at the same point on the lower front panel, my redline is about 15mm higher than my vf sv6. There are paint scrubs and a very sad rubber strip under the front of my sv6. I'm very happy with my redline's factory ride height. Each to their own, but quite simply a...

No worries VFII-17. Hope it all goes well next Wednesday.

Hey VFII-17. It's an open forum and you can pretty much say what you want and ask anything remembering to keep things civil. My comments were sincere and certainly no disrespect was intended. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being passionate about a new car purchase. For some people a...

Hey VFII-17. Mate your passion and exuberance about your expected delivery is sensational. Keep up the good work, the day will come. Stay strong mate ! WRT the production line photos my email came on the 5th of May and i picked up the redline on the 10th of April. Finally put the red centre...

Nice procedure 3rspecB. Think I'll do mine your way as well. Can't be too careful they are only plastic by the feel of it.

Hello LMF 17. I've purchased a set also but haven't put them on yet. Take each wheel off, gently prise out the black one and push the red one in. Refit the wheel. That's what I'm doing anyway. See the lugs in the photo. Push in style but the wheel has to come off otherwise people would...

Hey Martin. To be honest i have been running only 91 but I'll use 98 from here just didn't give it a thought. I had always considered that fuel for hsv's etc for some reason. No issues with the tremec and to me it does seem to be easier to shift and less "clunky" when its warmed up. Kind of...

Cheers VFII-17. As stated elsewhere in this thread the photos don't really do this colour justice. Looks even better in the metal. Quite a few members ordered LMF sight unseen and are happy about it. You won't be disappointed it is a very nice colour and also signifies a 2017 model as does...

Hey Martin. Thanks for the kind words and advice. I'll probably change the oil at the first inspection anyway and use 98 from here on. Have you finally decided on a colour for your MSE mate ? The base for the hz sandman ute build up. Off thread i know but you did ask.

Thanks for the advice ProfMopar.

Cheers LMF 17. I've happily joined the LMF Redline club. Yeah that spitfire does stand out and we spotted a spitfire sedan at Pioneer Motors Mackay on the way through on Sunday. It had a completely black wing spoiler which made you look twice. I've asked my dealer to give me an idea of the...

Cheers for the info dgp. Excuse my ignorance but is the catch can part of a modified filter set up, or an on line device on its own which catches sludge etc ? I have read elsewhere not to use full syn straight up but thanks for the advice. Would you have any idea what oil holden service would...

Cheers Zero. It's a bit wierd but I seem to be forever going into the garage and looking at it. Glad i went with LMF in the end and yep even the blackouts seem right on it also. Well i bought it to drive but yeah I'll park it up for a while now. Had one embrassing moment though. The wife...

Hello Martin. Yep picked it up Monday and drove through to Gladstone on the first night then to home the next day. 1200 odd k's on it now. Very good service and they kept all the delivery paperwork and stickers as requested. Production line photos are to come apparently. I was quite...

Well done VL Executive. Glad your dealer came through for you. I picked up my LMF redline yesterday. My dealer advised that wrt the production line photos they will be emailed from holden in the next few weeks so we'll see what happens.

Ah. I hadn't seen your recent post before i sent mine in. Glad you can move on TheBman. Must have been a good discussion then. Enjoy your new car mate.

Hey TheBman. That sucks alright mate am I'm feeling some of your pain with delays too. I also took annual leave and have had to change flights although my problems stem from the "gentle" inundation flood water at Rockhampton rather than my dealer who has been quite understanding and...

Cheers for the info Holden17.

Hey Holden17. Who did you go through fir the Opticoat in Brisbane mate ? Would you recommend them ?

Thanks for the info Zero. Not much damage at my place just without power for about 50 hours so the camping gear got dusted off. Quite a bit of damage around Moranbah though which shows the extent of the power from Debbie given we're inland that far. We got off lightly though, some places on...

Hey Zero. Looks awesome mate. My redline has arrived in Brissy and is tucked away safe. Hopefully pick it up next Wednesday. Just got internet coverage back post cyclone. Not much fun to be had in Qld for a while. How long does the opticoat last mate if it's not a stupid question ?

Yeah i know what you mean about the auto being relaxing. Yes the colour is growing on me too but I'm still a bit disappointed that there wasn't more choice and can't see why they just didn't add the new colours to the existing ones. I'm flying out Wednesday week to pick mine up. Glad it wasn't...

Congrats LMF 17. Looks quite nice. Will you be putting any treatment on the duco ? Manual or auto mate ?

Congrats doug05. Very nice mate.

Cheers Martin. Looks like a steady trip home from Brissy then. Not sure why the 110 kph limit would be necessary for the drivetrain given the overdrive. Might be useful for saving points and therefore $ though. A mate of mine has a 2015 clubby and when i mentioned i was getting a redline his...

Cheers for the advice re the red caps Martin and dgp. Yeah not long now so I'm getting more excited. First LMF i was able to see was a redline ute in my local town earlier this week. Very happy with the look of the colour as i was worried it might be just a bit too orange in the bright sun...

Hello Anthony121. I like the black side stripes but not the bonnet stripe. My redline will have the side stripes fitted at the factory hopefully this week.
