:hmmm: Bad quality picture perhaps? Wells Smash - Gold Coast They will tell you about the car. :beer chug:

That looks more satin black. Personally I don't like it, but matt black is far far worse. (yes, its genuine...) :hmmm:

There's more than just one manufacturer of cams for the Holden V8. Why does everyone instantly refer to Crane Cams like they are the 'be all and end all'? If you have a true understanding of camshafts, you should know what lift, duration and lobe separation you want or require and get what...

Go back to the dealer. Tell the tech to start up a new SSV and see if it makes the same noise. If it does then fair enough. If it doesn't then they have something to answer for.

This is what happens when banks give out money to anyone these days!

Haha, well I guess the bonus for wraith is not only will he then be able to apply the "Park Brake", but will also be able to have a nice snooze on the airbag aswell :p

Sonny is in the final stages of opening up his new workshop, Autowerks Automotive AutoWerks Automotive - service, repairs, prestige, performance, precision and should be good to go this week. As for your issues it does sound tune related. Specifically the open loop o2 table and afterstart...

Thanks for the insult, I guess its to be expected on this forum. Firstly, NOS is a brand of Nitrous kit, nitrous isn't refered to as NOS. Why does everyone take wikipedia as gospel. It's the same as saying a permanent marker is a "texta". Now the reason I asked you (in a non-smartass way...

Any guys and girls off JC heading to the All Commodore Dyno Day on Saturday? Seems to be a few Commodores heading down, some bangers aswell :) Saw it on Street Commodores Forum so thought I'd post up here to see if anyone was going! :) For those that are un-aware: It's time once again to...

So how exactly do YOU stop your car in the event the foot brake fails in a Commodore?

Please none of you drive near me if you sustain a total brake failure... To the OP: The "handbrake" is an emergency brake designed to be used if there is a failure with your service brakes. The most common use of the emergency brake is whilst the vehicle is stationary and switched off to...

UFO: Why is "NOS" (actually nitrous, NOS is a brand of nitrous kit) installed on the street bad news? Also why are the laws there in the first place?

Picked up the latest issue of Street Commodores magazine and it came with a free dvd for cruise for charity. :D Saw my car in it a few times and it bought back memories of how great the event was. Anyone else spot their cars in the aswell?

So if there are no other road users in the vincinity of the area, street racing isn't dangerous?

To many killer wasps brah, plain and simple...

MRC was also on the Senator and Grange models aswell :) Also MRC will still function without the wiring loom, you will just not be able to use the stiffer setting.

Just remove the intake pipe???

Thank god for that, from all the people that "can't afford" personalised plates...Or is that can afford but choose not to because they are cheaper in America...LOL

Hey Rufys: I choose not to buy this house here: 8 Myoora Road, Toorak, Vic 3142 - House for Sale #107553102 - realestate.com.au for 11.5 mill because I know I can get a similar sized house and land in Iraq for 10 times less LOL. Oh...but I can afford it... ;)

And if you really could afford the car, you wouldn't be drawing comparisons to what the car costs in other countries that are completely un-related to your current situation LOL. You would buy the car because you want it, nothing more...nothing less. Fail attempt at trolling fails.

sub $40,000 car? Lol...wut??? You are living in Australia aren't you? Show me where you can buy one in AUSTRALIA for $40,000... I think you need an understanding on the way the Government protects domestic industry on foreign imports and not to mention you need a "reality check"...

We get the point just fine, you're a whinger and a sook. Was there anything else we missed?

Theres a few options for you, keeping into consideration there is a budget of 15k. A lot of people like Walkinshaw for the fact it is a known and trusted name, which is fair enough. You pay a premium for that name and the service that comes with it, which is to be expected. It isn't...

The WP230 are the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger setup. Firstly, the Eaton supercharger has an integrated boost bypass valve. What this means is it allows the supercharger to spin with minimal parasitic loss as there will be no internal compression of the air. So if boost is not required...

Something like this would be better value: Holden Commodore VE Omega, 1 Year Warranty, Current Roadworthy, Registration | eBay

Whats the big deal with posting up a VIN? In Victoria, VIN numbers are freely available on registered cars anyway...

How much did you pick it up for? The LS3's are a nice bit of gear but you need to drop it asap...it looks like a 4wd! :p

No worries champ. I thought you meant with his current situation as it sits! :)

If you take 'having it out face to face' as a threat then you have a lot of growing up to do. If you expect the police to act on something like that, they wouldn't have any time to do any 'real' police work. "How about I bring the car back and drive it through your front windows if you don't...

I didn't read anything in his post about the buyer making a threat of violence? The police won't be interested and legally cannot do anything. Seriously, what do you expect the police to do?

I retained the standard hoses and didn't cut anything when performing this mod. Mostly out of sight apart from across the firewall above the brake booster. A very worthwhile mod for any VE.

Cops won't and can't do anything. It is a civil matter (for the time being.) If he paid cash, then let him open up as many ebay cases and disputes he likes. In short, if he contacts you, tell him you sympathise with him but it is of no fault of yours. Explain the car was as described and the...

lol wut??? Red light cameras in Melbourne are red light and speed cameras. If you speed through the intersection on a green light, you will get done for speeding. If you speed through an amber light to beat the red, you will get done for speeding. If you drive through a red light, you...

Looking forward to *part 2*

Mate,you hit it on the head. Which is why I asked Rufys how he came to post such a blanket statement on Ford-Holden/FPV-HSV. Because surely someone who makes such a statement like that is judging the car on their merits and making a comparison between them rather than, trying to get the most...

I'm glad theres some people who can have a proper discussion around here without acting like a 2 year old. Whilst I do agree with some parts of what you are saying, I still believe if 2 cars are priced the same, you can remove the price from the equation and form basis soley on the offering...

Oh dear.... Using your analogy, 2 granny smith apples - 1 has a piece missing out of it. You are given the choice to take one (for no cost) which do you choose and why? You choose the one without the piece missing from it. Why? Not because of the price, but because as you said it is...

Refer to post #12 cuz. :yeah:

Hold on, I get it perfectly. Instead of being a smartass with your answers, how about you just have a mature discussion for a change? Money doesn't become part of the equation if 2 competing items are the same price. Your suggestion of 'value for money' should really be 'standard equipment...

Question: If two different vehicle model's exist in the marketplace that are targeted at a specific demographic, are built on similar platforms and are priced at a pretty much exact level (the same for arguments sake), then how the hell does price become a contributing factor between those two...
