    253 VH Vactioner

    Thanks for that guys! ajvx I have also run 235's on 18's under the back of an early commodore before, but on the 15x7's they'll have somewhat more sidewall bulge than the same width tire fitted to a 17x8 or 18x8 rim...............Good to know they should be fine though!

    253 VH Vactioner

    Not much happening with the car at the moment Currently out of rego.......should be rego'd again next week Also picked up a pair of 15x7 stockies to run on the rear for some extra width............Anyone have any suggestions on tire size to run on these? I'd like to run 235's, but not sure if...

    Yeah, got defected pulling out the bottom of my street....wasn't even being a dick at the time.....just a bored cop in a D Car filling his quota I think

    253 VH Vactioner

    I initially thought I would go with them, but I dunno, just gonna go a plain look with this car (my BA XR6T got defected like 3 weeks ago after only being back on the road for less than a month so trying to stay under the radar a bit) In other news, the coil died on me on the way home from work...

    Davoren Park I think it came from.......so like 5 minutes from there

    253 VH Vactioner

    I can't remember if it was on Ebay or not now come to think of it LoL..........would have been Ebay or Gumtree, they are pretty much the only places I buy cars from I live in Woodside and go to Barker regularly so chances are we would have crossed paths in the area at some point ;)

    My 83 VH SL

    Looks mint as it was in those first two photos!

    253 VH Vactioner

    253 VH Vacationer Figured I'd throw up a thread on my recent acquisition This is the first commodore I have owned for a while, and never really had a whole lot to do with them to be honest (only had a VK and VL in the past amongst many many falcons), so please excuse any noob questions that...

    Post pics of you're engine bays here!!!!!

    The bay of my newly acquired VH Vacationer (253 V8 obviously).........bit of a pig sty at the moment, but something to keep me occupied!

    Lowest springs

    I reckon my old VL had Ultras in the rear and supers up front. Had all the appropriate shocker changes and such, but it still had an awful ride quality. I was running 18's though......if the car was sitting on 15's with a bit more sidewall I think the ride would have been much more acceptable!

    Its coming along nicely...... ......nice to see some credit going to the parts guy ;) :thumbsup: LoL

    Booma's VL

    Not at the moment, haven't had a lot of shifts at work the last few weeks so money has been tight. Concentrating efforts on getting my BA XR6T back on the road (yeah I know LoL) after blowing the turbo. I am trying to get rid of the mags at the moment in favour of some 15" VL Calais rims (just...

    [VIC] VK BERLINA PARTS. Worth a look!

    No Worries, figured I'd try my luck ;) Cheers for the quick reply!

    [VIC] VK BERLINA PARTS. Worth a look!

    wouldn't have the right hand tail light (or just the reversing lens off it) would you?

    Booma's VL

    That little Golf has come up pretty good. I'll have to get a close up of the bonnet, roof and top of the guards on my car though.......Its faded, but its also covered in what looks like stone chips in the paint. I dunno, will throw up a close up pic when I get the chance. Sides of the car...

    Booma's VL

    Cheers for that tip. Bonnet, roof, boot and front guards are definately beyond ressurection, but might give it a go on the doors and rear quarters!

    Booma's VL

    I won't be putting the stock nose cone back on (its a little too beaten up for that). If anything it will have a proper calais front on it before a respray attempt. I quite like the black wheels (they were like it when I bought it), but its not the sort of thing I would do to rims myself (I...

    Booma's VL

    Figured I'd throw up a thread for my latest car.... ....Been on the site since 2006 when I owned a pretty typical, teenager spec VK commy. Have owned Falcons since then but have just recently bought a VL Commodore. Engine wise its completely stock except for the obvious Pod Filter...

    Greetings from Critical Jim.

    I'll get underneath your car on Wednesday man and have a look......after comparing the floor pans and exhaust shapes I think you'll be pretty right with them fitting (shape wise) to the standard exhaust Just gonna be a matter of whether the flange on the headers matches the flange on the cat

    Post Pictures of your VL here.

    Here's a couple of my SL I have just bought....Needs a fair bit of tidying up

    Greetings from Critical Jim.

    First time I have been back on this site since 2006 and come across this thread....... .........Just sing out when you want me to come round again and we can mount an assault on the front left suspension!

    High Beam on VK SL

    OK Thanks. I did go to install a brand new one, but it fried itself when I was testing it. Annoyingly the warranty statement on the back says it has a 6 month warranty but does not cover burnt wires!! :ranting:

    High Beam on VK SL

    OK, now this is gonna sound like a really stupid question... I have just bought an 85 VK Commodore SL and I am wondering how to turn on the High Beams and keep them on :embarrass . I can get them so that they flash but they won't stay on, they just go back to low beams. Is there some secret...
