Generally, you can tell how bright somebody is by how they spell and use words. For example, some twits do not know when to use your, you are, or you're. Maybe you need to Google it as well to pretend how intelligent you are. I could not care less about your grammar or summation. I don't...

"My wife spells phonetically" A lot of the younger generation cannot spell correctly. Long story short, the education system changed its methods about 35 years ago. The kids of that era were not being taught to spell correctly from the outset of their schooling. MS Office has an inbuilt spell...

Not my intention........ I know a 'try hard' when I see one. Does this look familiar? Definitely not 2% or Very Advanced. Seen the act before.

Did not appear that way. Is that what happened with Goal and Celebrate as well? ...... and there I was wondering why my "learned colleague's" grey matter did not pick up these errors........ Primary School starts tomorrow at 8.45 am, sharp........ pack a lunch.........;)

YYSSW W-H-O-S-E........ not who's (who is) Whose lies do you want to believe? Rhetorical question. Have a good day!

Vietnam War By the mid 1950's, televisions had largely begun to replace radios as the main source of information in American households. The Vietnam War is also known as the first televised war. US Citizens were coming home and sitting down to watch the news from Vietnam being televised...

I don't have any insurance other than car and life insurance......... own my house..... no mortgage.......... maybe should think about it........ not too worried about the contents......... would be pissed off if they went walkabout........ operative word being IF...... live in a decent...

I take it that you have not lived in WA? 1. Most of the Western Australian population live between Perth and Mandurah ....... about 50 km south. 2. 125 kph is about the average 'cruising speed' of every second 4 wheel drive once you get out of Perth........ excluding the Grey Army. 3. It is...

Okay, WAPOL used to deduct to 2 Kph from the detected speed........ I know that from personal experience. Double demerits during holidays ..... fairly explanatory......... you can check your demerit points online. Double or nothing suspension in WA......... 1 point + Good Behaviour period...

Mine already has staggered tyres and 275 on the rear....... I thought that standard for the 2014 (MY15) VF Redline If I were to ask that original question again it would be worded differently. What I should have asked is has anybody done this upgrade and left out the feedback hooks. I...

Brakes then engine, exactly like I would have done it. Yes....... that is how I wanted it done...... had to get the ducks in a row first to make it happen. Oh I appreciate what a nervous passenger is like............ my late father went from being a paranoid back seat driver to a shockingly...

Not being a "car person" meaning that you couldn't decipher credible information from the uncredible anyway, Well, that is one interpretation. I have 11 different "formal" qualifications........none related to cars.......... My critical thinking skills are extremely well honed..........You...

Respectfully, On my computer screen the only thing I knew about you is that you're just another swinging dick who owns a Holden. This is telling you straight a) Have a good look at the screenshot of what I see about you........... I don't know if you are 21 or 61, or anything about you...

Racing is a different application to driving in the outback or a regional area........... it is not like a mob of emus are going to come out of nowhere and run across the road ( that happened to me out near Broken Hill).......... or you go around a blind corner and there is a steer standing in...

And.......... where does the different engineered design / fixed v floating calliper fit into your opinion? How many accidents you have been in .......... and what animals you have encountered in the middle of nowhere? I don't care about the ABS activating earlier........... that might be a...

FFS anybody would think you are the only person to have ever been near a car. Is there a point to all this? You are like a celibate priest pontificating about f*cking

That is true. I know exactly what you are saying. It is something I am very conscious of when driving. Back in 1991, I rode a KR1 around Sydney for a year. It was a real learning curve, especially in peak hour traffic on the freeways. I ended up with eyes in the back of my head for that exact...

Didn't you say this? PS. The bloke who sells Brembo calipers says they're great, i'm shocked. LOL You were having a good laugh at me for relying on their advice ................. otherwise you would not have used it as a quote. Anyhow, I found the answer I was looking for..............

Thank you.......... ceramic pads are within budget and scope........... so, something to think about........... I am even contemplating replacing the standard front rotors so I am off scratch all the way around.

PS. The bloke who sells Brembo calipers says they're great, i'm shocked. LOL Oh, aren't we clever. Manufacturers and suppliers have to be careful about the information they provide which people may rely on ........ whereas an amateur racer does not. While not an exact comparison........and...

Oh, I am going to bite. More can't see the woods for the trees stuff with another straw-man variable. Where in my original post did I say anything about a race track or disabling the ABS? "80% of a car's braking ability is at the front brakes and the limiting factor is tyre grip." No...

Braking power to me means the ability to stop the car with the brakes, period......... when I need it to do so........... I can't envisage a circumstance where I would need to worry too much about 'repeatedly' in normal driving................. maybe around a race track or if towing something...

Are you saying Brembo calipers use a unique brand specific set of pads and other pads won't fit? In the 40 years since getting my licence.......... I have never replaced a set of discs........ can't say I have had a set machined either ............... Have replaced a couple of sets of pads on...

You dont seem to want to listen?............. that is a matter of interpretation about what you wrote............. the way I read your first comment was that you put the 4 Brembo calipers on at the same time.................. In your second post that changed to initially doing the front...

I never did physics at school............ but I do get the gist of your comments............. bigger pads on smaller front rotors equals greater surface area contact........... and smaller pads on larger rear rotors would be lesser surface area contact............. ergo the back set would not...

Okay, so you fitted a full set to a VE SS Ute.............. cool. That would have pulled it up a lot better? Clearly, you saw a benefit other than cosmetic from doing it. I was kind of hoping to find someone who had upgraded to rear Brembos on a VF Redline........... but it is a bit of a moot...

Wow! A lot of physics technobabble with a lecture thrown in for good measure. Really, the question was what I asked. Thanks for your thoughts

Thank you for your thoughts.......... already got the tyres I go with.......... same ones that I have used on my VE SS manual for the past 7 years. Went with the Brembos anyhow.......... after trying the difference between both of my cars earlier today............... think the extra braking...

Hi all. I am getting a recently purchased 2014 / MY15 VF SSV a new exhaust, cam and head work next week. What I am asking about is if these changes will greatly affect its current stopping power............ and whether or not upgrading the rear brakes to a set of Brembos would be a sensible...

I have a VE SS manual with an L98 motor that has done about 175,000 km. Recently the check engine light came on and the stability control has switched off. Previously, I have had it throw fault codes and supposedly, the issue was the voltage dropped in the battery. The mechanic looked at it...

Recently I have been doing 300 k a day traveling up a high way to work. Yesterday I put some 95 unleaded into the car at at service station I have never used before. Later when I went to drive the car it flashed the Check Engine warning. The temperature gauge was fine and the oil not burnt...

I have a VE SS 08 model. The stereo seems to have decided to play up. The speakers seem to stop working on different sides of the car depending on the music being played and the rear speakers are not working. This is new and the sources haven't changed as in the CDs and I pod have been regularly...

Thanks. I am into the drive till it dies theory myself. Costs about 800 for a wrecker motor. 250 for reco heads from repco per head then gaskets/ head bolts on top. Reco or rebuild in Brisbane is between 2800 - 4000 depending on the scam they pitch at you. Amazing mechanics we have up here - all...

I have a 97 vs acclaim. It got hot and when sorting it out found that the compression on number 3 piston was 2/3 of the reading on the other five. Took the car to Holden and a few other mechanics, had it on a computer and they all agree the compression is down on the 3 pot. Been tested for a...

We had that problem with the last Vs. Found it was occuring when we bought cheap fuel at some of the smaller chains. It was suggested the ethanol content was making the engine read hot. Went away when we kept it full of premium from the larger chains that have a non ethanol guarantee

used a mobile locksmith and it cost me 200 for complete key in middle of national park. Need a locksmith that does electronic keys

I lost the only key I had and after checking around i found there were two or three ways to start the car. 1 Get it towed to holden and get the key redone. Cost about 300 with towing 2 Find a mobile locksmith that does electronic keys. This cost me 200 complete. what he did was took my...
