    Where to find genuine Series 1 VF SS Rims? Also, best tyres to suit?

    Thanks for the advice mate. I don't mind too much between cast and forged at this point. I just want factory stock rims. Either will do. I just need to actually find some

    Where to find genuine Series 1 VF SS Rims? Also, best tyres to suit?

    I'm just after genuine Holden rims. I want to look stock. I don't want anything too flashy or different. In time I may upgrade all-round, but at this time I just want stock OEM rims

    Where to find genuine Series 1 VF SS Rims? Also, best tyres to suit?

    I'd buy them too, if it weren't for the import costs, man. Over here the cheapest I can find is nearly $1.5k and they'll need new tyres on top of that

    HID/LED lights and error codes

    I’m new to car mods, so this is new to me and I’m probably just getting fed crap by a few people unfortunately. In regards to what else I can do, should I just get new bulbs from Repco/Supercheap Auto/etc., and still be ADR compliant?

    HID/LED lights and error codes

    Thanks for that info mate. I do appreciate it, sincerely. I’ve messaged them about it and am waiting on a reply at the moment. Just on the pricing, how much would I be looking at to get self-levellers and headlight washers? If it’s going to bankrupt me I won’t bother. Aside from getting the...

    HID/LED lights and error codes

    I’m getting it installed by Loudz Customs for around $1.2k. That was the best price I could find and they said they’d fix error codes and align the headlights properly. Does that sound like a reasonable price and do you happen to know anything about them? Cheers, Jake

    Cheers mate, much appreciated. Are you saying you bought the whole unit AND housing to simplify to swap over, of the new gearing and LSD inside the original housing? I’ve seen a heap of suffering variants but I’m not as up to speed on diffs as with everything else

    Beginners rebuild/modification car

    I have a soft spot for the VS, and think the utes look great, plus read up on L67s so that seems overall like something that’d interest me - but isn’t an engine swap for a complete novice biting off way more than I could chew?

    Oil Catch Can

    Hey mate, sorry I know my OP was confusingly worded. I meant would it be worth investing in catch cans while I’m getting work done just as an added safety and cleanliness option or is it over the top unless there’s forced induction etc.

    Auto Headlight Function Trouble
