    Magnum to do or not to do?

    Just found out my insurer wont cover me anymore. Who are people using that would cover mods like this? I heard GIO somewhere, obviously Shannons. Any recommendations will earn you a beer !

    Magnum to do or not to do?

    Stock, I'm getting around 13 / 100 commuting - around 25-30 traffic lights each way, but lots of 80 and 100 zones mixed in. Ave speed for a 30km trip is about 45-50 km/h

    Magnum to do or not to do?

    Normally idling they use around 2.1L / hr - is it different with a tune?

    Collision warning system - stopped working

    Well, it is raining. But the car was very clean, as I washed it few days ago (thus the obligatory rain)

    Collision warning system - stopped working

    Strangely enough it started working again later today. <shrug>

    Collision warning system - stopped working

    Anyone else had this? I normally leave it off, too many 'false alarms' - but today I turned it on, no little green car or any signs that it was working.

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    most on here would not get 50K on any set of tyres ;)

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    I don't have any experience with the Turanzas - but I doubt you'd regret getting the PS4 - way more comfy (and grippy) than the stock Bridge
  12. Brown Dog

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    Totally agree - I got the PS4 (not the 4s) and it transformed the car, compared to the OEM Bridgestones

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    I got PS4's a few months ago from Widetread Tyres in Ferntree Gully - https://www.widetread.com.au/ - very happy with the tyres, so much better than the Bridg OEMs Competitive price. But I suspect you have 20" rims ?

    Are VF's going to be collectables?

    I reckon the largest influence on the housing market now are the very low interest rates. If/when they begin to rise I see a large handbrake being pulled

    Are VF's going to be collectables?

    Having just sold my house for a suitably inflated price, I will have this same struggle whilst I find somewhere I can afford. The winners in this game are the real estate agents and associated parties, and the state govt.

    Speed limiter

    I think the SS Auto is 230 - manual 250
  17. Brown Dog

    TPMS showing low pressure FLH wheel. MY17 SSV SPORTSWAGON.

    I've had plenty of punctures from screws and the like repaired - in same profile tyres (40) - none in the VF so far. Question for the OP, did you get a tyre joint to look at repairing the puncture ? Used to cost 30-40 bucks

    Exhaust System for VF SS-V Redline.

    Anyone have a vid of a Manta exhaust ?

    Exhaust System for VF SS-V Redline.

    To clarify, do you mean you prefer Manta over the Manta Pro Series (DPE) ?

    VF LS3 - Oil temperature

    Geez 130 seems way too high - 110 ish i'd expect - but im no expert Ive got the oil temp now on my phone, using an app and a OBD2 device - i've not seen over 110

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    Hey, seems PS4 are out of stock for the 275 rears - so I can only get the 4S all round. What are peoples opinions of the Kumho or other alternative brands ?
  22. Brown Dog

    OEM vs DBA rotors

    Yeah, last time I checked, the Redlines were not a budget model, and so cost not high on the agenda - Holden put Brembos in the redlines, because they are good, and their reputation is also good.

    Stopping VE

    RACV wont do anything other than change the battery or have it towed.

    What Exhaust System is this?

    Is 3 inch noticeably louder than 2.5, all other things being equal - or just deeper ?

    Hands Free - clicking sound

    think i'll try re-pairing the phone and see what happens
  26. Brown Dog

    Hands Free - clicking sound

    Thx Forg - good idea, i'll try another phone & see if it still happens. Maybe re-pair mine too...

    Hands Free - clicking sound

    Hi all. I am being told by whoever calls me, that when I'm on hands-free they can here a clicking sound, like click, click, click click click They always think I'm on a train. I can't hear it obviously - anyone heard of this ? (iphone)

    Tune & OTR

    But some are more equal than others :D

    Remote key undetected in morning

    Mine did the same thing the other morning - both keys. So far has only happened once.....

    The King is dead. Long live the King! RIP Commodore :-(

    ah you from a good vintage too. sounds very much like my upbringing. I think expectations now are vastly different to what we had Tennis ball, cricket bat, and backyard cricket. At least in the summer

    The King is dead. Long live the King! RIP Commodore :-(

    Cannot be bothered comparing those 2 web pages - too long for my current attention span :) But from a passenger room point of view, a tiguan is based on the golf, so inside it is not any bigger.

    The King is dead. Long live the King! RIP Commodore :-(

    But there it is. SUV's aren't better at anything except being higher. They are not roomier than a sedan, have less luggage space, if carrying passengers and discount the 'wagon' aspect, and are just higher, bigger in body, and harder to park. I currently own a sedan, but did own a CX7 for a few...

    H&M/Harrop full exhaust

    i think they open at 3000

    Aircon always on?

    I can manually turn off a/c - as long as I am not in recirc mode. In recirc mode a/c is on, and the air is cold.

    Out of Euro and Back into "Aus" rides

    Unless it has been extensively tracked, then it is pretty hard to flog a car like that on public roads.
