Hi, 2 weeks ago I had my diff swapped out for a new OEM diff. And when I got the car back I felt if something was a tad off, like the car was rocking left to right, but now I have been able to drive it in a way where it is very noticeable. When I drive the car in second gear and stretch it out...

Hey guys, worst news. My pride and joy SSV atomic green ute. been reversed into, lucky my girlfriend was sitting in the car while i was in the shop. But i have an atomic green ute, and i would say the whole drivers side will have to be resprayed, has anyone else had atomic green paint jobs done...

haha, thanks aaron, my bad. changed to 0-100kmh. Sandman, i disagree about it being pointless, I know w427 would be the underdog but i reckon it is not without a chance, Just like the Top Gear Mclaren F1 vs Veyron the F1 Bugatti Veyron v. McLaren F1 Drag Race - Top Gear - BBC Two - YouTube, that...

I stumbled across wheels magazine today, that showed the Supercharged VF GTS got a 4.7s in the 0-100kmh, and i recall that the W427 also got a 4.7s. A quick google search proved that. (HSV W427 - motoring.com.au) Wheels had the new GTS against an AMG, but i would like to see the GTS take on the...

Colour is similar at least. You a 1 point for that.

I know what can prove it. He can say in what street and suburb i took this picture

i dont think the photo really shows the bonnet bulge, so i ran it through a darker shade, which empahises its lines which the iphone camera struggles with. Now you can really see the bonnet bulge that the stripes sit on.

May or may not be worth noting that the dash was covered in black plastic, you can sort of make it out in the 3rd photo. I wonder for what reason they would do that. I should have taken a photo of the interior, but it just looked the same as the launch photos, and i just wanted to eat my subway.

optional spoiler on this one too

Walking down the street today and came across this. Looked real good in person, when i first saw it, i was thinking VF HSV, but clearly it is SS. And that subtle bonnet bulge looked great with those stripes over it. If i had any doubts before, i dont have doubts now.

hey people, I am wanting to lower the rear of my ve ssv ute, as the back site real high off the wheel as factory standard im guessing due to payload. i have never lowered a car before so what kind of money am i looking at, and does anyone have before and after pictures, preferbly with original...

Im in the situation of saving for the dream car, a ute, while driving around in my old 525,000km vt. This has been no problem up until this morning when i couldnt get reverse, therefore i couldnt get the car out of my driveway. The transmission has also been not great when in Drive too, but does...

17's are perfect for racing. 20's for good looks. 22's neither fast nor good looking

For such a holden/hsv nut like me, I have had the misfortune of never getting a ride in any V8 ever, the one exception was the SV6000, and woah it was one hell of a car, acceleration was brilliant, interior was perfect, and i will never forget the 60-0kmh braking, it was like 1 car length...

Firstly your car will resemble a roller skate, secondly preformance/handling would be shot to pieces, v8 supercars run on 17 inches for good reason. Just watch this clip of aus Top Gear to see how ridiculous anything over 20 inches is

stick with sv6 wheels or ssv wheels, holden make the best wheels by a mile, best to stick with them. It is extremely rare that i ever see wheels look as good as holden/hsv.

Yes you can do this, someone at my work has done it, but it doesnt look good. It looks so much classier to put the natural VZ HSV kit on it, it just looks right. VE to VZ just looks wrong

I bought a 4 seater L shaped couch, and the lady at the furniture store said i needed their delivery van to transport it, so to prove her wrong, and to prove how good my VT wagon is, i said it would fit in my car. She was adamant that it wouldn't. Well i gave it a shot with the back seats down...

totally disagree, i saw a black one while getting take-away, so i went in and ordered my food then for the next 15 minutes, continued to stare and admire just how good looking ve senator is. Senator looks better than the other ve hsv's and is Amongst best looking holdens ever, Along with new...

I so much rather any piece of junk over an ex taxi. Think about how many people would have vomitted in there, everything would be so worn out. My vt has done 503,000kms original engine and trans and is still running strong, ive waiting for it to die so i can get a new car, but it just wont die...

melbourne, that good news i will follow it up when we get the cars, thanks

Vauxhall have been selling our clubsport as a vxr8 . But Earlier this year vauxhall have been selling the VXR8 bathurst S which I have known about for a while. Richard hammond drove it and reviewed it in Top Gear mag ANd had fallen in love with it saying "best sounding car........EVER" (or words...

Does anyone know anything about powder coating rims, or know where i can get them done. My girlfriend is buying a VYII adventra LX8, but the wheels on the VZ LX8 are identical but powder coated on the "internal" of the wheel and makes a lot of difference to the look of a black adventra. Any help...

yeh these are ###HSV (numbers first) not like the old HSV###

Hey i just happened to stumble across vic roads number plate website, and came across something very special. They have released OFFICIAL HSV number plates two days ago. I got the ones I want, you guys should see if you can get your hands on them i know a lot of people are buying up big (I know...

yeh does seem the best way hey. how about fitting it, i havnt done this kinda stuff before. any idea how much labour is involved and how much it will cost?

hi guys, i found a vt 2 senator for sale but perhaps needs a new engine, so im thinking if i were to get it, would i just put in a 5.7 or would you put in a 6lt. I would like to hear pro's and cons of both. Im thinking maybe 5.7 to keep it more original, but like to hear what you guys think...

does anyone know if you can buy a w427 bumper. im guessing hsv wont be making them readily available, so any aftermarket stuff?

that is awesome. just needs some decent wheels and your ride will be kick ass

wow, nice ride. i jealous. but what the hell is with the wheels? they are hideous. they make you nice car look like sh**. They look like they belong on a crappy old R33 skyline gtst Put the originals back on. or at least get some wheels that suit the car. that car is waaaay too good for the wheels

this here is my ride Na seriously i want a bike but will probably get one in my 3rd year of apprenticeship when i will earn an ok wage. I really want a honda CBR250RR then when im off my L's i want a Suzuki GSXR

well it is gold in colour, so maybe it is gold plated

Going through carsales and found a desirable ford going for a mill, check it out Used Cars - New Cars - Search New & Used Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au

i dont know why you would want one, such an ugly thing in such a nice car. Anyway the first thing i did when i got my vt wagon was "un-install" it and chuck it out, and it was very easy, its kinda self explanatory. cant imagine it would be any more difficult to install it, i reckon you should...

being a wagon fan, i am really interested to see a picture of this one and only vl sandown wagon. ive tried to find it on the net with no luck. anyone know anything about it. apparently its been thrashed, even if it has i would actually consider buying it and restoring it. Any help greatly...

anyone know how to get rid of the 10,000km service flashing thing when you start up the car?

do you have any links to any articles or info on the hdt irs?

very interesting about the hsv vx wagon, i am a wagon nut and had no idea it existed, apparently there was a vy senator estate too, i would like to see one

well there were the vt series 1 senator estates, but that was in the late 90's and were the 5litre. the next hsv wagon i suppose was the avalanche which way vy so about 2003ish, which obviously wasnt a senator.

Just remeniscing about the HSV jackaroo and thought of other rare and weird holdens like the piazza and HSV XUV (ive only seen 1 ever). There was also the rare HSV SVLE and SV120 which were the predessors to the senator. Do you guys know of any other peculier holden/hsv/hdt 's that made it to...
