    vz sv6000?

    yeah no worries guys, i'll get you some pics in the coming weeks, just want to get everything sorted first, rego and all that. i'm at least half way to having it all sorted, just being busy extracting teeth - i mean getting a cracked rim replaced from hsv under warranty. finally they've agreed...

    [VIC] (P1) Laws Question!

    beleive me, some of these laws are absolute rediculous ****... i personally was fined, driving to a nightclub at 3am to fit a battery to a clients car for work (i was on call for breakdowns, i'm a mechanic) because i was driving a v8 turbo diesel landcruiser tray.... i was wearing a company...

    Standard Alloytec V6 Governed?

    having personally been in 6 ve sv6's, ranging from 2006 -2009 and both auto's and manual's i haven't seen anything above the magical 208km/h figure. simply can't crack that on flat ground... going down a hill you may, but yes they're definately governed.... anyone who says anything above 208...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    haha all good mate, the alloytec is definately a motor with potential, awesome once it gets above 3500rpm, and the vvt starts to take effect (variable inlet manifold as well, amongst other things) no arguments there, but i never use it in that range.... it is really the opposite of how i'd like...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    i like kurzman's signature.... something makes me think it was put in there purely for me... haha... and i thought you understood what i had meant

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    dunno mate, the ss ute only cost 2500 more roughly than my sv6 ute, both white manuals.... dont quote retails lol, after all, who pays retail for anything?

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    i prefer to change it myself too, thats why i specified mv5 on the options list! lol aisin 6spd manual ftw hahaha. yeah mate, got a workshop more than capable of doing up a kit, its just my time (which i'm short of) and the outlay of prob 20k to get one all set up going well, looking...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    i've looked into supercharger's, raptor dont make a ve compatible one - or didnt when i checked. capa make one, but its centrifugal, and i reckon if you'd bother with centrifugal may as well just go a twin turbo setup. if there was a positive displacment blower for them, i'd have it for the...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    and yes lol at the aurion..... you'd have thought with the avalon they may have learnt years ago, but obviously not.... more importantly with the aurion rather than how it goes, i wonder if like the rest of the toyota range it struggles to stop :P haha aussie's dont want front wheel drive...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    i like the bit where you agreed with me on the fg for torque bit.... but doesn't even have to be hills... just through town, traffic lights, roundabouts etc etc, i find it a much nicer drive, add to that the turbo model and its very nice indeed! v8 pulling power with 6cyl fuel economy when not...

    Anyone got an SIDI Car? Whats it like?

    maybe not from 50km/h its not? he didnt say he did a quater mile or 0-100km/h run.... not a fan of the sidi myself either i must admit.... seriously thinking of making a twin turbo kit for the old alloytec's.... nobody is doing anything with them! pro flow apparantely were, but now they're...

    A5asin -

    what makes me curious here, is how do you know he was doing 160km/h?? 5km/s on a freeway makes people gain momentum alot quicker than the slower car... i do agree it may not have been 5km/h, but 40km/h is quite a substancial difference, just wondering how you picked the speed?

    VE Woeful fuel economy

    agreed on 2 things, for once i can agree with kurzman89 - fuuuuuck the book... not everything holden says is true... they maximise service intervals to meet or exceed other manufacturers rediculous claims, the next manufacturer goes further and so on and so fourth and all of the sudden some...

    MY10 Sv6 Sportswagon Price?

    having driven a manual xr6 turbo ute and then compared my sv6 - the turbo scored better economy on both city and rural runs. and had heaps of torque to pull up any hill you like.... sure - driven stupidly it wouldnt create the same economy... but it wouldnt be all that worse either (shock...
