    Where to buy: Dr. Pepper

    There's a store at the Westfield in Plenty Valley (South Morang) that sells all that American stuff (Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, Hersheys etc etc etc...). 1.58kg bags of mini peanut butter cups FTW!

    [VIC] FS - Parts, suit VN/VP/VQ & various other items!

    Sorry for the late replies guys, have been really busy finishing off my final exams for my degree and haven't had a chance to check this thread. PM's have been sent to those needing them.

    Simmons from TempeTyres?

    Lol, don't try and make out that Simmons were poor quality/soft wheels by inferring that they were easily bent. That is 100% a poor quality driver issue.... There's plenty of good wheel repairers around who could refinish them should they become damaged. If you damaged them beyond...

    VicPol, possibly other states, flashing Police lights to warn drivers of speedcameras

    I'd rather take the fine and points option than be squashed from behind and risk serious injury....but that's just me. If there was any 'significant' doubt in my mind that the vehicle behind me wasn't going to stop in time, I'd be going through. In saying that though, if you have to 'gas'...

    VicPol, possibly other states, flashing Police lights to warn drivers of speedcameras

    LOL ^^^. There was a lancer that had been left on the side of the Hume just before the southbound Craigieburn exit a month or so back and as I was driving past it on the way to uni I started to notice different things going missing. It got to the point where it was left on blocks with half the...

    VP Calais door moulds, or remove sikaflex and repaint doors

    If you're going to put calais moulds on, ensure you also modify some wheel spats to suit or else it'll look shocking. I personally think you should just get hold of a chrome trolley strip like the berlina's have and stick with that. I really don't like the look of mouldless doors on cars...

    Simmons from TempeTyres?

    As suggested, pricing is per rim. I'd also be considering Intro's if you're willing to fork out big money...

    Cast iron exhaust manifolds for VP V8?

    Yeah I never even realised there were different headers used between the models! That seems like a crazy price for a simple y-pipe, bloody ripoff merchants! At least if they are a reputable place, then yeah, they'll get it all sorted for you i'm sure. At that price, they'd bloody well want...

    Tubular Suspension Systems. Anyone dealed with them?

    The prices listed are for purchase only. I believe fitting of kits through TSS is ~$1800ish for a self-levelling kit install. The kits do come with complete fitting instructions (including some photographs) but unless you/your mates are confident in the removal of parts...

    Tubular Suspension Systems. Anyone dealed with them?

    I've helped a few mates install these systems over the past couple of years and to this day, none of them have had any issues. TSS are the industry leaders when it comes to these kits in Australia and only carry the best components etc... Shoot James an email or give him a call and have a...

    EPA on exhaust noise

    Steel wool does work but unless you live only a short distance from the exhaust shop, it'll all be burnt up before you get there. Not a good look to have it blowing out the rear muffler when they're doing the test either. Just have a big offset rear muffler put on and put some restrictor...

    EPA on exhaust noise

    If you fail the test you don't get fined, you'll just be told to change it so that it passes. In saying that, each test costs you $40 so you might as well make it pass the first time. It would want to be a mighty big rear muffler that you put on. If the cats are high flow and the centre...

    Ricers... are they really that bad?

    Much better! Don't take my little dig to heart, I didn't feel I was going to get a decent response without it's inclusion though :p I completely agree with what you're saying however I think to throw around comments like you did saying that coilovers are **** blah blah blah is a little...

    Cheapest Dyno Tune in Sydney?

    Word of advice, when it comes to tuning, going the cheapest route isn't necessarily the best (read - usually never). That definitely doesn't mean that the most expensive is the best but just beware of cheap tuners. I think you would be better off trying to determine who good tuners are in...

    Ricers... are they really that bad?

    Haha, was expecting something a little more substantial that that. I know I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you. I'm just intrigued by your views and would love to hear a proper explanation/reason for them. Obviously when it comes to coilovers and actual user experience (perhaps even...

    sub draining battery

    As has been said many a time, upgrade the big three properly and it's almost a safe bet that you won't return to this thread.

    Ricers... are they really that bad?

    Upon just what evidence are you basing these claims? Yes, I know you've been importing cars so you may have seen these components in poor shape. The only reason coilovers require premature rebuilds is if they're setup incorrectly and/or are used for track work as they obviously undergo much...

    Exactly the same issue for me. No problems coming directly to the site, only when linked through a google search.

    [VIC] FS - Parts, suit VN/VP/VQ & various other items!

    Hey Graham, Yeah, the o2 sensor bung is in the Y-piece on the passenger side (the larger of the two pipes). I wouldn't have even thought of that since I wasn't aware there were different setups. Do the manifolds bolt straight up to your Y-piece? If so, maybe get a bung welded in? I've...

    Wheel bearing/Rear bushes.. How to tell if they're buggered??

    With the wheel on, grab it at the top and bottom of the tyre and try and wobble the wheel inwards/outwards. If there is movement when doing this, then yes, the wheel bearing has done its dash.

    [VIC] WTB: VN SS Lip Kit

    I've still got that 3-piece rear lip kit off my VQ that you messaged me about the other week. As I mentioned at the time, that is the same as an ss rear lip kit.

    [VIC] FS - Parts, suit VN/VP/VQ & various other items!

    Final bump. If the remaining stuff doesn't go it'll be going to the bin! I'm back at uni now so am available to meet up or deliver around the northern suburbs (Bundoora/Heidelberg etc areas).

    ATTENTION - North Central Residents/Shepparton Area & Surrounds

    Absolutely hilarious. In response to your question, yes. He left home in his car and they have both pretty much disappeared. None of us heard anything from him that afternoon or anytime since.

    ATTENTION - North Central Residents/Shepparton Area & Surrounds

    Ok, I know it's a couple of days late however I've been away for the last few days without computer access which is why I'm posting this up now. As some people may or may not know, Andrew Crawford, a 23 year old male who is a friend of mine from Shepparton is currently missing and the subject...

    Car Hoists

    As noted above, Molnar hoists are great. Be careful to ensure you get the right model though as most of them require 3 phase power however you are able to get 240v models also. Slab thickness is recommended to be 6" minimum thickness with twin steel reo enforcements throughout.

    HSV rim copies. Be warned!

    To everyone slagging the copy rims off, it has also been know to happen to genuine rims also, especially senator signatures. In saying and knowing that, I'd still rather spend the extra and have a 'genuine' item anyway rather than some cheap chinese knock off!
