Hi folks. My starter motor died y'day. Due to working the late shift last night, it was necessary for me to address the issue asap. I called out racv parts to install a new one for me. Anyway, last night found me jumpin into the hot seat and heading to work, but was shattered to discover my...

Love the wagon walesy. Thats shmick as. I'm dying for an 8. Cant stand turbo's. The reason I said it wasn't worth a respray 'Snake_VL' is because i've been quoted $1000 by nearly everyone for the job. My car is worth crap all, and the paint is in such poor nick (not evident in the photos), that...

I've attached a few pics of my puppy here....dunno if i've done it right tho. I stacked it just a week ago and i'm now driving round with a faded gold VL with a sky blue bonnet and an unsprayed grey bumper. I'm very ashamed:bang: ...but its not worth a respray. Let me know what you think. Its...

Hi guys. I'm new to all this and am a bit of a noob when it comes to photoshop. If i was to post up some shots of my car, are u guys able to put on some VZ HSV Senator Rims for me?? They are multi-spoke and slightly concave. I'm thinking of getting them for my next car (stato) in a couple of...

I've noticed that there are numerous members who comment on the major increases in power/throttle responsiveness post the introduction of a CAI. This may be true to some extent....but to be honest I think a large part of it is psychological! After doing mine, the greatest benefit i have found...

Mines pushing 400,000 and still goin strong. Picked it up from a mate when it had 370,000. Stacked it 2 days ago though. Just after i spent $1000 restoring the front end after it was stolen. ouch.... as for theoretically RIP @ 400,000...i rekn thats a load of crap (at least i hope it is, or...

fair enough....appreciate the advice mate. If i decide to go through with it, I will ensure its done properly. No half measures.

yer you've confirmed my fear. Will definately be steering clear for now. Thanks for the advice bud. I shouldn't let my curiosity get the better of me. Either way, even once i've have finished making all the mods to my N/A, it will be no match for my brothers VP wagon! That thing goes like a...

I don't have a turbo, so 2-1/4" sounds perfect. thanks heaps VL Berlina 5 spd....really helps.

hey champ, Thanks for getting back to me...I've just found the old posts on performance chips and had a good read. I was comparing both. However, after reading it i'm not so sure on the chips anymore. Seems it may be better to stick with the current setup

Hi guys, i've just come across a reasonable deal on a performance chip for the VL straight six and am just wondering whether there are any particular things i should take into account before purchasing this item. The company claims that the chip significantly improves fuel economy and power...

exhaust options Hi guys, My bro works at super cheap auto and was able to order in some HM extractors for me. Just wondering what would give me the best 'bang for my buck' in terms of exhaust systems. I rang my local exhaust shop but am not 100% sure what i should ask for? What would be the...

Thanks Mag, appreciate it mate. Will have to look into it.

hi guys, My 1986 VL Calais was stolen a couple of months back and thankfully was recovered in almost 1 piece....I've spent a fair bit of time and money 'putting it back togethor'. For the purpose of this post, its an auto. However, ever since I've had it back, it fails to drop (change)...
