V6 ecotec - vl (brake upgrade) Need Info on upgrading the front and rear brakes, I have a complete 95 VS COMMODORE live rear axle. I'm converting the engine into a VL Commodore and need to know if i can use my brakes from the VS to upgrade the VL brakes or do i need to buy a VL turbo brake...

Lol yeah, droppin the car was a great idea with the standard bars. Now im havin to raise it though, just need that little bit of extra height to actually be able to get into driveways, speed bumbs..... not to mention into my garage..... LOL i cut the springs originally, but now i have super...

Lol yeah mean't VY my bad. yeah been thinkin bout doin the trims black, and the sports lights are on da way. and yeah, that black rubber strippin is so annoying. holden put em on really good, spent 2 hours on one door and only got the top half of the adhiesive off on one of the doors!!! wax...

. Actually its tribal work not flames, and its individual instead of commondore. and no i have some alpine stickers on the back qauter glass, thats bout it though. just upgraded my system to full alpine so i guess i should take the pioneer one of now hey...

Just put on VS - VX kit, tell me what peeps think?

and what i want outta the turbo, well, i was looking at supercharged and turbo kits for about the same price and turbo offered alot more potential in power, but also with that more potential of power factor, more potential to put con-rods through my block :P

altezza Well the chrome lights change the look of the back of the car dramatically, looks alot better than standard. also makes the car look a bit newer, seing all the new commodores come standard wit altezza lights, so why knock them when Holden are using them!! As for the tribal, each to...

Hey the cars being totally revamped with a VY clubby kit and i've gotta raise the car now cos wit the kit it wouldn't even make it ouuta the drive way. but what you's reckon. haven't done alot, to it mainly cosmetics and sound system, but custom pod setup, with a sports chip, sounds nice and...

Here's mine, did it a while ago, i did a red paint, with a metalliac silver sparkle through it, can't really see it on the photo though.

Alright everyone at one Stage with a standard V6 has thought about supercharger or turbocharged. well, after searching many places looking for somewhere that sells a decent turbo kit which has taken over a yr now to find. I have found one. unfortunatly im going to have to wait for the ecotec...

Not bad, Nothing wrong with stock, you get to see your car grow then. screw buying a car already done up, there goes all the fun!

pod Also, rather than goin and spending lots of dollars you can cheaply make your own custom intake for a pod filter, just never under estimate off-cuts and other things that may seem useless at the time! Here's mine below:

Less than 12 months ago she was stocko right down to 15" wit hub caps!! done a bit in that time and in the next 2 weeks will have her VY clubsport kit also. just wanna see what poeple think so far?

Home Made Intake! I used the original, angle pipe of the original intake to get the bend then used 3inch flxi stainless steel pipe and a 3inch rubber joining that to the air flow meter, heat sync sensor is installed into the rubber piping by just making a whole biog enough to insert it into ,

Well I go in Sound offs alot. I like to enter everything, sound quality, DB and neon comp. Besides gotta give the ricers some competition. Holdens were here first, I'm not gonna let ricers win a neon comp hands down!!

You can sue for Fraud, if he wrote and signed off on a piece of paper pretending to be you saying it was your fault. Besides all legal documents really need a third party signiture which means he wouldn't be the only one in on it. you may not get much for the injury's or the insurance, but...

The police will try and get away with doing you for anything. E.G i have a multi-coloured underbody LED kit, and i was showing some chicky's out at the beach and a police man pulled up and gave me a defect notice, pretty much stating that i had to have the neon's removed in a week or the car...

Set of 4 14" ford mags suits falcon. they 6 star lookin mags. Anyway, i've never owned a ford in my life!! so if anyone may be interested let me know!!

I have VY SS 17" with 234/45's but the tyres arn't so good :P hehehe. They suit my car and i love em, but, might be time for a change

Vs Tribal here's my BABY! its not such a good photo, plus i've dropped it 4inches since that was taken, i'll post the new one's soon!

$25,000, thats new diff, tail shaft, gear box, rebuilding of motor etc etc, its alot of work, especially to cut cost its easier to do alot of it yourself.

I've Already got the specs for a GT30 turbo set up, but im looking at $14,000 just to get the setup configured properly. but the power outlook is enormous, im talking 440RW HP/330RW KW but alot more money will have to be spent on the motor to be able to wanna run that sought of power. but for...

anyone now anywhere who still makes these kits??

ummm well unless your looking at turbo charged, go 2.5 inch as far as i know go 3inches with a standard 3.8L and you'll end up loosing power, not gaining, 3inch is for something running a bit more power otherwise you'll loose compression, well thats what i always thought anyway..... some...

Well, supercharger is cheaper, but turbo will get a bigger bang. looking at bout $20,000 you could have your ecotec a good rival against any worked v8 i'm talking 440 RW HP/ 330 RW KW from just a GT30 setup thats talkin 0km-100km in 4seconds of cause with a good stall converter etc etc but...

Yeah but, pictures can seriously under value the look of a car, if not on the right angle compared to looking at it

i've got altezza'a on mine and they change the look of the car, i personally like them makes the car look newer, lol even if ya haven't washed it in a while, just remember get the light chrome for light cars and black chrome for darker cars. also, your plastic strip between the tail lights, if...

places like carline mufflers usually are reasonably prices, if you know what your doing check out e-bay and install it yourself, also, its wise to invest in the high flow cat, yeah they are $400 approx, but no use getting a full system and going half assed, i mean yeah some people punch the...

the connection isn't good though because of the stupid flexi piping, you still have to secure your pod. When i did mine i rebuilt the intake, used the bend in the original hose, cut of the stupid flexi piping, cos it'll flop around if you put a pod on, connected the plastic bend piping onto 3...

Its a bad photo, of the car there, looks better now, its lowered 4inches, and yeah, love the VY SS rims :) The vinyls do suit the car, thats just not a very good photo, wrong angle. i gottta take some new one's now she's dropped on her guts anyway, thats why i haven't started my own thread...

not bad Are they vy S badges on it?? i don't think they really suit the car, but its a very clean car! tell me what you think of mine?

Is it only doing it on one side?? My guess is your diff is off center, i had that sought of problem on mine, the diff was a inch or so to the right, and when you lower it it'll get worse cos your pan hard rod bar will push it accross more. If thats the reason, an adjustable pan hard rod bar is...
