I just spoke to a bloke named David at Lakeside AutoGas who told me that you can't get tanks to suit VT Commodores anymore. Does anyone know anything more about this or have any tips?

Thanks Cheap96... best roundup I've read.

I know the argument about LPG conversion has been done to death. I've looked through all the threads, but I can't find a list of parts. I've got a VT wagon and I'm going for a straight gas conversion. I want the filler to replace the petrol filler under the cap, and I want to use the...

As for the body, a GTS Monaro would be seriously hot, but this is my first major project - I'm doing it with some mates and it's going to be a low budget affair. I don't really want to spend the extra cash on the body, so a Gemi is pretty much perfect. I'm not really familiar with turbo...

I'm in the planning stages of building a burnout car with a 383 stroker and forced induction which will be either a roots style blower or twin turbo, depending on how easy it is to source one or the other and the price (second hand units, probably). I'll go a quickshift kit on an auto I think...

Jesus Christ mate, open Pandora's box why don't you.

You won't get booked because airbags were an option on all VS commodores, driver side airbags only became standard in the VT, so if the cop questioned you (unlikely) you could just say it was optioned up.

$250 is a bit pricey for a second hand 4650. Will you sell for $150?

Byron? You're gonna be having a great time with schoolies next week.

Not a big fan of the kit and rims, I've never liked them, they look too plasticky. The interior is a bit ricey, but it's been done well and looks good. Also, you need to decide whether you want chev or holden badging, having both looks stupid - apart from the badging, it comes together well...

I like the bonnet, it's a nice custom touch that looks factory, very good job. I don't really like the badging though - unless you have an SS V8 under that munro hood, it's just the same as ricing up a car with stickers so far as I'm concerned. That said, the overall look is grouse, I love the...

My point is, given what I said in my earlier post, it wouldn't make the car go better because it would result in uneven wear and not all cylinders could run as efficiently.

Nice rims... and where the hell did you find a manual VS? I've been looking all over, so manual with 90k on the clock... sounds like you got a good deal.

Sorry, no idea about HDT, have never had any work done by them although I imagine it'd be of a fairly good standard. As for the kits, the shot of "sport" is crap, but aero looks nice.

cameron4518, yes it's the big one that goes across the radiator, and it has the benefit of looking completely stock to the untrained eye. Also, I haven't heard bout that Monaro intake, but I'd say that it wouldn't be stock CAI... who knows though.

Who cares if you got excited by it or not? No need to be a dick about it.

Putting your foot on the accelerator can do that too - how does it save fuel? Consistent throttle or something?

Well mention it without being a tool then.

It's worth it if you don't have a steady foot or if you do a lot of freeway driving. Otherwise, I really can't see the appeal.

I'd get the surfboard AND a CAI... best of both worlds.

Mate... there'd be a wrecker within p&h worth of petrol of your house... I'm sure there'd also be a bog stock Holden with some shiny new badges too.

Bad luck mate... how'd you end up with such a lemon?

Makes it easier if you post your car, instead of me having to look in the corner of your post. How much cash do you have, what are your eventual goals with the car, predominantly street or strip, etc.?

Man, **** that plastic crap right off. If you're going to bother replacing your intake pipe, you should get one of those stainless pipes. Anyway, turbulent air is a good thing, it helps to mix the fuel in better - diesel engines even have an air turbulator (heh) built in to either the valve or...

How much did the entire set up cost you? The button was $20 I think you said, and the wiring would be sweet **** all, but what's the go with installing the fog lights?

Mate, very, very well done on that ute, it's bloody amazing. The whole thing just comes together very nicely and you're punching some nice power out... the intercooler looks really tuff, too.

I'm sure the mod's been done before, do a bit of a google for it and if not head over to (oh noes!) calaisturbo.com, there're a few very knowledgable blokes there.

Good to hear... I hate seeing useless mods like that, they just **** me.

OK, the M3 wheels would look better on what is a fairly riced up commodore. Dunno why you have the bonnet bulge without a blower... there's no need and it's ugly.

Thanks for the valuable contributeion Infus1on... it's a good trick, we did it for the old man's car when the speedo guage pin broke.

I think you'll find he was trying to help you out rather than have a go - everyone loves a good burnout, but you should probably black out your plates when you post them on the net to save getting dicked. You should also edit this post... mob number on the internet isn't a great idea. The...

You'd need to do a full respray if the paint is faded... otherwise it would just look like **** with some new and some old paint. Those bodykits both look **** though. They just look soo plastic and the way most paint them, they don't end up looking tough at all, they just enhance that...

Yeah, it's a nice and simple aesthetic mod that can just really help to make your car look that bit better. Well worth doing.

Not a chance is a VS worth over 10k if that's all you've done to it. The stereo isn't all that great except for the JL subs, and the rims and tyres are just an incentive to buy, not really a massive price getter. I'd say 'bout 6.5-7.5 depending on where you live.

I like it how you advertise your stereo system for all the theiving ****s around. Very smart.

Notice the bit about JUST COMMODORES? Are you trying to tell me that Henry Ford's cars are more Australian than Holden (who began in Australia, as opposed to Ford in America)? As for all your records, ever heard of the VW Bugatti? Get lost you wanker. edit: So as not to hijack the...

OK, so do you have to have preordered them to get them? Or is that just in cases of limited or no stock?

Why do they want them gone? Some reason that would stop us wanting them? And are they doing rainchecks on them or is it until stock runs out?

OK - now can we verify this sale somehow? Repco have **** all on their site, and I don't wanna wake up at 6.30 for nothing.

Are they taking rainchecks?
