    VF Series 1 SSV - quiet??

    You are like herpes,you just keep coming back,id never spend a red cent at sqp because he is an arrogant arsehole like yourself..... Didn't you say you were from bunbury? Why not go and bust a few shards up with your crackhead mates and have a laugh at how awesome you bunbury guys are :)

    VF Series 1 SSV - quiet??

    I took my aftermarket rear mufflers off because I couldn't stand the afm kicking in and out constantly,sounds terrible,v8 one second and the next a droning 4 cyl..... Got a couple more things to do to mine and then ill refit the mufflers and get it tuned then. So yeah, I don't have a video of...

    VF Series 1 SSV - quiet??

    Get straight through rear mufflers,the factory ones are super restrictive which also makes them super quiet,if its auto it will have afm and you will want to get that turned off,afm kicking in and out sounds terrible with aftermarket mufflers/exhaust. First thing I learnt about my vf ssv. As for...

    Walkinshaw & Di Filippo

    If you don't bother people on the phone how do you go about driving 200km on the off chance they may or may not fit you in to do said work to your car? John refused to turn off my afm without doing a full tune,actives said it would be no problem,i base a lot about first contact with someone who...

    Doesn't actives look after any issues that arise with their tunes/products etc? Im still tossing up between the 2 workshops when I get my tune done,active is slightly cheaper which is neither here nor there tbh but I found actives a lot more helpful on the phone,sqp seemed rather blunt and...

    Trans cooler/milkshake issues on the 6 speed trans?

    Does the holden 6 speed auto have any issues like the ford 6 speeder/trans cooler/milkshakes etc? Do they need a standalone trans cooler fitted for insurance?

    VF Calais V 6.0 LSD upgrade for drags

    Does the a6 in performance mode start in 2nd gear from a standing start if you just let the trans shift itself? I only have ever driven ford 6 speed autos and they start in 2nd gear in perf mode unless you shift manually then you can select first gear.

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Bit of an update,i ended up just buying a new 2015 ssv seat cover,looks to have some plastic type hook over fixings sewn to the bottom of the cover that may hook onto the seat frame so im going to have a crack at fitting it myself,theres even piping sewn into the underside of the cover that...

    New 3'' Manta exhaust,does it quieten down after carboning up

    Its the cats helping make it louder. If they are 100 cell cats you may as well have no cats,they are there for looks mostly,maximum flow and noise to go with it. The noise difference between the same cat back system with stock cats and 100 cell cats is huge. Edited

    VF Calais V 6.0 LSD upgrade for drags

    That's perfect imo,i don't know why everyone doesn't do 3.9 gears. Diff gears are very underrated as a mod I think,on a basically stock car diff gears make a pretty decent difference in acceleration and only doing around 2000rpm at highway speeds how can you go wrong. cheers

    Removing front seat

    Ive never removed a seat from a car with seat airbags before,should the battery be disconnected to stop chances of the airbags being deployed like when removing a steering wheel with airbag? cheers

    VF2 Redline - Manual Gearbox / Diff Issues

    Sounds like the 6 speed manual in my then brand new 2012 turbo fg ute,absolutely rubbish,notchy,noisy,hard to change gears etc. The qc on the tremec boxes is lacking,a decent blueprinting/shimming of the box from someone who knows what they are doing and they are miles better,some were getting...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Im on gumtree every day looking. I picked up a new seat base from amcap for $163 to suit a 2015 ssv,its a start, I think its a reasonable price. The bottom cover is $542!!!! but none in stock,may speak to a trimmer before I fork out the hard earned for the cover, it may be cheaper to modify the...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Im not keen to buy and ship seats,pics can hide a multitude of sins,once they arrive they would be mine regardless,i had some bloke trying to sell me ute seats from an ss,he was in Darwin,swore black and blue they were ssv from a sedan lol.

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Im not getting custom seats I just want smaller bolsters,no way im spending 1500-2g just on front seats. If I do end up at the motor trimmers only the bolsters on the drivers seat will be getting done not a whole new seat. What do you mean readily available aus wide? Ive only just purchased the...

    Factory hsv headers-tapered ring Called?

    Flange cone gasket/donut gasket,its all coming back to me now,i think my xd with a x flow was the last time I saw one of these fitted,cant believe holden still use them! I guess they are still quite effective.

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Thanks banjo,ive narrowed it to only ssv seats because no others will fit and have them same plugs for electrics. Found some on ebay but the seller wanted 450 for postage,the seats were 750 with a few marks on them,mine are mint like the rest of the car,im reluctant to buy sight unseen because...

    Factory hsv headers-tapered ring Called?

    Just got some hsv headers for my 2013 ssv wagon,the headers I got didn't have the tapered ring fitted to the rear of the cats that bolts up to the stock exhaust. The car they came from must have had an aftermarket catback fitted so they were removed. Im not changing my factory centre section so...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    I did notice on every picture of ss seats for sale they were all manual adjustment,ssv have the electric drivers seat,all the ute seats I found no matter what model,ss/ssv/hsv etc were all manual adjustment. Do all ss have manual seat adjustments or just the ones I saw? Or is it manual back and...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    The front seats from the smashed 2016 ss at "fordhold" were $1000 the pair,if it had have been a ssv I would already have those seats,the seats were still in the car. I was only guessing when I said around 2g for a complete interior,i was just estimating from the price for just the fronts. I...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Wa prices are much higher than the rest of aus,as are car prices,we have no choice but to pay because the few holden wreckers have the monopoly at the auctions and therefore set the bar on prices where they like,afaik the only wreckers that regularly sell late model parts are fordhold and...

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    Vf ssv seat bolsters vs calais bolsters(any difference)

    I found a set of aftermarket gts seats with genuine gts foams on ebay for 1650 but the bolsters still look way too high,im a big guy and wouldn't fit in those seats:( I need low bolsters. Might contact holden and get a price on the 2015 ssv base seat foam and cover for my drivers seat If I cant...
