So a Pod filter with a custom intake would be more beneficial then? i saw a falcon with a cut out in the bonnet with half of the pod filter sticking out one time lol... i have always wondered whether that would actually help or not... when i think about it though something that diverts air from...

Ahhh true... well i notice my car goes slower when theres passengers, i was thinkin if i take out some of the stuff equal or more than the weight of a passenger, that might help it go a bit quicker yeah? but maby there isnt stuff that heavy in the car tho is there? :whistling

I was wondering how much quicker i could get my wagon to go without doing any engine mods yet. I'm just curious as to how far one can go with weight reduction legality wise. Like are you allowed to take the doortrims off or take the spare tyre out, the front passenger seat or back seat or take...

A guy i used to work with done a bodgy as single turbo job on his vr v6 wagon, it was alright untill he blew a pipe or something... last i heard bout it before he sold it anyways... now hes got a vn v6 and going to put the single turbo set up on it :yeah: Awesome stuff man, love the paint...

Damn this is a pretty inspiring thread haha... i want a vn now! RAWR! :p and the $2,500 mark is pretty doable haha. love it, hope you get it back or maby make another one haha :thumbsup:

How are the rear shocks? do u know if they fit a vr wagon? might grab them off u if they still work. might need struts too.

Are you kidding me? i'm pretty sure from memory there was more than ONE day over 35 degrees in brisbane and like you said, ona verage anywhere south of Bris is almost always colder than brisbane, i come from adelaide and been in adelaide for their 40 degree weather and its just hot and dry where...

mine sits on about 1800 or 1900 at 100km/h it hasnt beens erviced in over a year so it wouldnt surprise me if something's farked. :p

yeah i spoke to a guy at work today about it, he reckons vr's with around the 300,000 kilometer mark either have the speaker wiring starting to break or have already broken due to the doors being opened and closed so much.

The front right speaker cuts out almost evrytime i open the driver's door, and the front left one just cuts out generally, i was wondering if maby it is loose wiring...? you think it's just the head unit? I'm willing to pay extra for installation to get the front speakers rewired just to make...

Hey, i have my stock headunit in my car at the moment, and i have an aftermarket mp3 player that i want to install. The problem is that when i open my driver's side door, the driver's side speaker cuts out and makes no sound at all while the door is open, but comes back on a little while...

It looks nice and clean, nicely done for the price.

That's funny, the guy at the register must have been a bit of a dumb one.... Nice buy :D

Ok thanks for the info :) i think i'll just take your advice and leave it to the professionals :thumbsup: thanks :)

Hey guys, I was wondering if i could get some ideas and opinions for which kind of sub box i should get. My Sub is a 12" 1500w max powered by 1000w max 2 channel (500w each channel) amp which is gonna be bridged so the 1000w max goes into the 1 sub. I have yet to buy a sub box because i...

Either one of the kelly brothers, skaife and tander, Lowndes and ingall, winterbottom or Whincup i reckon. Fat chance anyone else will win. :devil: I wouldn't put money on it tho, because i remember they get kangaroos, rubbish etc that randomly end driver's days.

When you have a clock in your display instead of a rev tacho When you Drive your Auto VL in '2' and drive it like it's stolen all the time When your gearbox stuffs up thanks to driving in '2' When your exhaust pipe falls out of it's clamp When you say you own a VL and then they ask you if...

I read somewhere that if they both got about the same power, then you're looking at about the same petrol consumption. Nice plans, I like the Neons inside along the roof! omg omg i so have to do that... it looks like inside a limo or something... and hiding the switches, sounds awesome...

Lol for her to say that, you must have said that you were going to kill her. rofl.

LOL that's golden :D My sister says the stupidest things, she's 20 yrs old and she claims that she is a bigger fan of the v8 supercars and the indy than me because she managed to score a free ticket on sunday for the races and i bought her a v8 supercars shirt. Anyways, as a test of...

Especially those trashy/rusty looking VBs, VCs, and VL's that bogans thrash to try make it look fast. Vt's are pretty ugly looking too... the back end is too fat and plastic looking. Atleast on Vx's, Vy's and Vz's they look less plastic than the VT's... though a mate of mine has a se VL and...

I got Bla Bla Bla but it's by Gigi D'Agostino, is that who u meant? anyways it's a good one :yeah: I like to listen to pretty much anything but mostly Rap/RnB/Hip hop cos i like the electronic beats... depends what mood im in really... just to name afew: lil jon and/or and the eastside boyz...

Hey man, nice thread you got here... i am going to have to pay somebody to install my head unit, (and amp/s and subwoofer/s aswell if my dad can't) i'd like to know that it is in the hands of professionals who really know what they are doing and not just some young kids who are just...

I was in metal/plastics class with a mate of mine once and we were using an oven (or kilm...?) to melt acrylic to mould it into shapes and anyway while we were waiting for our pieces of acrylic to melt, my mate decided to play with the little red light on it and he started pulling on it. When he...

Cool car! have you got it now? I was originally gonna buy me a vn sedan, but my vr was so cheap i couldn't resist... i want too many different models still :embarrass anyways, good luck with it :thumbsup:

Love it, Not a big radio listener - i choose when i wnat to listen to certain songs so the songs i like don't get murdered by being overplayed... in my mind anyway...

Show. Most stock commodore engines have enough go in them anyways. Save the go for a racetrack - speed kills.

Auto. Because I have no manual to practice in and i bought an auto commy, (although can and have driven manual before - havn't perfected the hillstarts or reversing yet) I'd love a manual tho :(

I'm running a kenwood at the moment... but not running it cos i havn't installed it yet (i'm paranoid im gonna break my center console trying to put it in) it's just sitting in a box waiting for me to pull out $85 for the installation fee :ranting:

i'm pretty sure i own VBs - VN executives and a couple V8's off the line when the traffic lights go green... (apaprently all the way to vs executives too...) Nah just kidding i know what you mean... My baby is a VR

Biting my nails too much and counting too much in my head. The counting thing is kinda like on tv where ppl have "obsessive compulsive" or something.... where they have to count to multiples of 100 or something... or keep checking things... I'm like borderline, I usually count to 100 in...

Yes, because i'm already 18. No, because i feel sorry for those high school kids who wouldn't be able to show off their cars in their 11th and/or 12th year.

My computer - Going bzzzzzz (trying not to listen to any of my phat songs untill i get enough money to support a sub for my system in my car)

Damn! i love your car man, i saw it in ur signature and had to have a closer look, awesome :thumbsup:

What about on the big one that goes across back window, a slogan or something that disses fords/falcons with 'www.justcommodores.com' underneath (or above) and for those that want a little sticker, just the plain 'www.justcommodores.com'. Just an idea, Don't mean to steal any1's idea if it's...

LMFAO! i found that a bit subtle aswell... lol Anyway, yeah i think i got the same problem u have, but my rear squirter stopped working, as in it was working before, but when it did work all this junk came out all over my back window (looked like bird s##t) then it stopped working... so ill...

Thanks guys, do you know if vs berlina seats just bolt on in the front? i'll go with the standard executive seats if i have to, i don't really plan on replacing the whole interior eh :embarrass p.s. Nice job on the SV5000 leather interior! I bet it's as comfy as it looks... :D

Cheers, i'd probably go with the standard vr or vs seats then because i dont wanna break or deform my seats or anything lol. :unsure:

Hey, I got my VR executive wagon a week ago and i got it cheap but its got a couple of problems with all the passenger seats, the driver seat is fine. I want to replace all of the passenger seats (or all seats if necessary), but for afew dollars more i was considering replacing all the...
