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

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

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

Hey, Just looking at slowly replacing bits of pieces of my VF SS Sedan as I plan to do it up. I live in Southern Metro Adelaide, and want to replace my shitty off the shelf rims with some originals from the factory or something even better. Further on top of this what’s the best rubber to...

Hello, I was hoping to receive some advice on what product you have that would suit my needs I want to add braided steel brake lines to my Series 1 2015 VF SS Commodore Sedan, at the front and rear and was wondering which products best suits this application. They would be attaching to...

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?

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...

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

I’m thinking about getting a full external lighting conversion to HID/LED fittings professionally installed by a reputable company (Loudz Creations in Adelaide), but have heard that this is likely to cause continual error codes to appear and that they can be riddled with issues when installed...

I rarely drive with more than just me, and even then it’s only two people if it’s anymore. I do like your setup btw. Bet it looks awesome. Did you mean to put down a link as I can’t see one?

Nah, not more comfortable. I like the look of slightly bigger wheels and I am intending to make this a stock looking daily with a bit of hidden grunt behind it . Don’t care how harsh the ride is to be honest. Also I’d be getting them installed professionally, not by myself, to ensure it’s done...

Hi, Looking at upgrading my cars rims to something decent. I have a 2015 Series 1 VF SS Sedan. Currently sitting in some cheap as/nasty/no name/off-the-shelf 18”s, but with a top of the range tyre Wondering if there’s any recommendations on what to get and where? Also, what to avoid, what’s...

mill definitely be going Harrop

Everything is going to be done by Morpowa on SA. I’m just securing the parts at lower prices than what they would supply them at

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

Just looking for a tip on diff upgrade options and price ranges for an Automatic Series 1 2015 VF SS Commodore Sedan I’ve already done brakes, interior/sound system/security upgrades, basic engine and exhaust with tune, etc. I’m going to start saving up for the one BIG go at the engine, but...

Hey Guys, I've been trying to learn as much as I can about project cars, at a beginners level, as a long-term hobby and project as it's something I've always wanted to and really respected people who do it. My family just wasn't into cars. I do, by chance happen to have access to a mechanics...

I just want to sort of learn as much as I can without going in so deep I’m just going to end up with it in pieces, or how deep to go with it. I want a powerful daily to start with, that I might later on tune up depending on skill level. Full learning experience. As for style I like VS SS Ute...

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?

Thanks for the advice and help, it’s much appreciated. I’ve had a **** two years and thought I might as well develop some new skills and learn to build something I can be proud of. I’m not worried about having to do leg work, time, haggle, etc. it’s more of knowing if I’m picking something...

Hi all, I’m new to the world of mods and DIY car-related tasks (beyond basic servicing and maintenance which I’m capable of and do already), but was just wondering if anyone had good suggestions on a Holden (preferably Commodore-platform based ute) that would be a good starting point to really...

Hi, just backing up a question I asked a few days ago. For those that have installed their own oil catch can how hard is it (I’m a novice)? Also what’s a decent, durable, but not breaking the bank type of brand and kit could you suggest? For a 2015 VF SS n thanks

Tidy looking engine bay and setup there first of all, looking good. Did you put it in yourself or get it installed? Just wondering if it’s worth tackling on my own or not as a novice

Thanks heaps for the advice mate, any suggestions in where I could get one? Also I’m relatively new to modding out cars and somewhat nervous of messing with stuff myself - any recommended installers

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.

Nah not stupid mate, simple solutions first. That’s what I thought I’d done anyway to begin with. The headlights, when I first got it, would stay illuminated for 1-2 mins after I locked/unlocked the car (as a preset) with the lights in auto function (I never manually control unless I have to -...

I have a full aftermarket Alpine sound system with headunit, so not sure how I’d change functions like I could through the mylink features

I’ve been hearing a bit of conflicting advice regarding this bit of kit (in new to the world of mods), but I’ve seen a few people come across blown seals and such though mainly in much high output cars than myself (2015 VF SS). Just hoping for some advice on their relevance for a stock build...

Hi guys, Just wondering, for those located in Adelaide, who they might suggest for some mild “starter” modifications for my 2015 VF SS Commodore? Of course, I have done some reading, research, and quoted up prices on a few places. This includes Mopowa, Streetfighter, Independent Motoraports...

Hey, I’m looking for some advice concerning a small dysfunction isolated in the automated headlight function of the car I have a 2015 VF SS Commodore Sedan. It’s completely stock, in terms of electrics, for informations sake. Essentially the headlights are auto-activating even when passing...

As an adjunct, I do have minor mechanical skills and the tools required but any big job will obviously have to be done professionally. mist the first car I’ve started to work on and pull apart etc so I’m very eager to learn but don’t want to throw myself in the deep end all at once. thanks...

Hi. I’m slowly doing up a MY15 Series 1 SS Holden VF Commodore (sedan/auto). I’ve already installed new and improved OEM replacement pads and rotors too , and as this is intended to be a long term car, I thought the next step adjustment could be to and install braided steel brake. I do need...

Do you have a link to this man? Would be great to do some home tuning at the small stages and learn a bit

Looking at getting a stainless steel full exhaust system in 409 stainless, 1 7/8” headers, high flow cats and in a 3” for my VF SS what are the best brands to look at, and reputable installers? I know I’m looking at $3-4k for a system but install I don’t know as much

That’s of help man, definitely. I’ve already gone to a Harrop OTR, so it sounds like my original progression idea was fairly solid for they money I’ve got and where I want to head with it all. I know of some well respected tuners in SA, but you have to walk in the doors knowing what you’re...

I have a VF series 1 sedan (auto), and am now finally getting a chance to change some things I’ve been dreamin of being lazy to rework and tune it. I know most go OTR , exhaust, cam and then it depends a bit. I was considering if it’d be easier, just as safe, won’t damage my car or (to the l...

Hi, Currently having some financial issues, but can’t bear to give up continuing Motorsport as I caught the by a year ago an it's not I know the basics like OTR CAI, cam jobs, diffs etc

Hey everyone. I have a 2015 built, VF SS Sedan, stock apart from sound system. What would be a logical upgrade paths for both importance and affordability with thin etc. 1. OTR CAI and Di Fillipo exhaust l 2 Ger a bug CAM j with stall converter and shift kit (it’s an auto) 3.probably Kaaz...

Hi, I’m looking at doing a complete intake and exhaust haulover/repair/dyno with my VF Series 1 VF (L77 Engine). I’ve already got a crap Chinese OTR CAI and factory sports exhaust fitted, but want to really go all the way I can to improve performance/sound beforeI give it a new cam and dyno...

Hey guys, I’m having talks about who and where to get my diff upgrade done, and to keep costs low on both the labour and parts the guy I’m likely to go through suggested sourcing my own new/better diff housing for its intended use and to prevent a housing blowout should I end up doing what I...
