    Twin Turbo VS Ecotec Build **engine build in progress page 16**

    Holy fark that looks HOT :eek: but if I'm not mistaken, the picture of that engine bay is VR/VS.. either way I'm drooling

    American church Vs Australia

    Yet you wonder why people still believe in religions :) to me it makes no difference between religious leaders and politicians themselves. Whom do you want to get your brain washed today? :) I really frown at such low blow comments.. sometimes it makes me think back to this...

    Red V Blue - what made you pick Red?

    Had a few reasons going why I sided with red, though I'm not fully biased to red. Me grandfather had ford telstar tx5 (after I googled it :)), me old man had ford carnival (was told that its a sedan) but he never told me that prior to me siding with the red. Me family at the time never had...

    Car Makers Welcome The Australian Government $6.2b 'Green Car Innovation Fund'

    I never liked China stuff that much, we have all heard of cases from lead being used in products to various foods that are poisonous. Apart from that, I have seen cases where they use cheaper grade of material. This is something that I would not like to see rolling out towards us from quality...

    Steering, stiff and loud?

    Yup, if you hear moaning noise when steering (from what I have read your case would have been worse compared to mine) its either power steering pump leak and/or power steering rack. I will need to get my car fixed on that issue.

    vs comodoore wont start urgent help!!

    I am not too sure but assuming you are correct, either the remote has a dead battery and/or is sending out the wrong code to the body control module. Central locking I think should work if you lock the driver's side door when all doors are closed. This is true for my ute as you will hear and...

    Your opinion?

    I've never taken off a VR spoiler before but I have assisted in taking one off VQ. They can be a bit of a work because of the stuff that is stuck onto the boot and if you want it to look clean, there's a fair bit of scrubbing.. afterwards whats left are holes of where the spoiler nuts used to...

    Car Makers Welcome The Australian Government $6.2b 'Green Car Innovation Fund'

    I've only got one thing to say about this: If they produce those pathetic front wheelers for any variant, they won't see me as a potential customer. Most of Toyota range are all lousy front wheelers, Ford is considering front wheelers. Lets not hope Holden doesn't start converting commodores...

    for sale vs 98 ute (qld)

    Manuals are hard to get :D especially for VS ute. Imo, they appear for sale once every few days if not weeks. Got more pics on the ute for sale? Like the front, rear, engine bay and cabin, etc?

    YAP (yet another project)

    I see bling-bling ;) someone's loaded :D Has the engine gone in yet or is that still in the pipeline? :)

    Sleeper or Standout?

    A bit of both. I don't like a standout car with standard interior, makes me think of `rice' :). Then again, sleeper is a bit restrictive for the options I want on me ute. I guess at the end of the day its functional and it goes, that's all I care.

    Airbagging a VR ute

    Never done airbag suspension on me ute but it would be interesting. I mean if council isn't listening to you and if you are willing to opt to airbag suspension. Literally no-one is able to stop you apart from coppers pulling you over which can easily be resolved with engineer certificate.

    no dramas, just want to reserve and see the pricing of the product :yeah:

    Urgent help!!!!!needed!!!

    There is a green filter on the back of the gauge itself if you haven't noticed. You can get custom made ones without green filter, I hear speed_graphics (on ebay) does alright custom gauge faces. I am in the process of getting the guy to make red filter as I am planning to make my L3 illuminated...

    YAP (yet another project)

    This project just keeps on going lol, every few days theres new parts or something along those lines :D Not sure what you meant by walls, walls on the bushes or the ring that goes on the bushes? *shrug* this stuff is beyond my scope of knowledge already.

    Whats the funniest commodore you've seen lately?

    Saw this on a site but it was described as ute with seats added and roof being chopped off to make it convertible.

    Why so many 4WD's?

    Lovely how topic changes so dramatically, maybe we should all drive tanks, and save people's lives.

    eb xr6 with group a kit???WTF

    The matrimonial ceremony between two arch rivals becomes one known word: falcodore :D Kinda funny how people just wants to mix and match parts together. Sure its an instant head turner but on second thought would prove otherwise for a fair few people.

    Hottest factory colour on VS HSVs

    Still, yellow stands out like dogs balls :yeah: One of the only model I am aware of with carbon composite inserts. So yellow and carbon composite materials :D

    Hi, I'm still keen on purchasing those wiring looms for level 3 cluster hoping that all wires and connectors are intact. Ta.

    Auto or manual???

    Yeah I call it quits after you stop leaving stupid end remarks. Perhaps maybe English wasn't your first language as well?

    System Recovery

    If you tried other people's recovery cd, it won't work mainly because it comes with different drivers as such. I also hope that your partitioning table and data are still somewhat intact or otherwise you may lose the recovery partition.

    Auto or manual???

    1st time you mentioned where the load in the vehicle goes despite I mentioned when you put the weight on the back of the ute. 2nd time you mentioned where you put the weight of the load on the vehicle. Tell me if that isn't showing your ignorant status. Oh wow, these quotes do contradict...

    Auto or manual???

    Ok I have corrected my grammar for the grammatically correct little nazi here. Again, you have proven yourself to be a complete ignoramus. It is not where the load goes, its how much the load has a bearing on the vehicle AND what sort of road conditions you are talking about. In most cases...

    I would never put any ethanol blend in my ute, period.

    Who paid for their first car

    It is not only values that are the main thing, there's also a lenience to see whether or not if kids do understand.. If they don't they will abuse it because they know they can get a new one, all they need to do is beg from you. Sure you can keep giving them new ones, but when will they ever...

    Who paid for their first car

    No I meant those who are offered free things do not necessarily appreciate the things. Not familes with monies. Read carefully.

    Whooops, I got too technical, In-Line 6 cylinders turbocharged. Its the way the engine is made and the pistons are placed. L6 :- In Line 6 cylinders V8 :- Vee 8 cylinders H6/B4 :- Horizontal 6 cylinders/Flat 4 cylinders (literally the same thing just different naming conventions). W16T :- W 16...

    The top 10 everyday things people do to ruin their cars

    Your car will definitely thank you if it has a brain, eyes and a heart. Fortunately, such things do exist but unfortunately they do not function in the manner we assume :) Maybe a good indication for one whos on their way to mechaphilia :rofl: ;)

    Who paid for their first car

    I wouldn't have turned down had I have been really spoilt as a child. Obviously free stuff is really nice but then one will lack appreciation for what the car truly is for apart from just being a `toy' to add into the collection and then abandoning it when they are offered newer `toys'. Paying...

    The Australian Top Gear Thread

    Its a wrong and biased comparison. HSV V8 vs FPV L6T. On one hand you got a atmo dynamite which will launch off with its massive torque and eat those with lesser torques or weight-to-torque ratio cars. On the other hand, you got a humble L6 with Turbo that's capable of eating V8s with proper...

    [VIC] Stripping Vs Berlina

    I have tried pulling one out from wreckers but it was a b*tch even with an assistant. We did pull it out but in the end we found some cables were either damaged or have been snipped off by other customers. Just a bit of heads up :)

    Who paid for their first car

    First car is the one in me avatar, still have it :). One of me parents and I paid for most of it and the rest went onto loan. Kids who have parents buying them stuff can easily get pampered and therefore spoiled. They will lack appreciation for the various things that they take it for granted...

    Hottest factory colour on VS HSVs

    Nah, that's not in the case of where I live :) I see Yellow cabs but they aren't yellow as XU-3 Yellah type of yellow, they are more like orange lol. Unless you are talking about courier taxis, which may have a more of XU-3 lookalike colour scheme.

    Auto or manual???

    If you don't drive trucks, then you wouldn't know what I mean, which is shown in this very case. Although part of the theory also lies with road conditions such as slippery or otherwise wet roads that may require driver to have proper control over vehicle. Hauling loads can adversely make...

    Bloody Hoon Drivers

    Contrary to that fact, you can think how older people end up being the ones in power.. They father these younger generations by labelling them as a hoon now that they became "conservationalists" who think lives are really important. I bet 75% of them don't even realise back when they were young...

    New Top Gear UK Series

    Top Gear Aust. was really an absolute mockery. The second episode was the first one I watched and it will be the last. Epic fail, can't wait for Top Gear UK to clear things up.

    flashing cops

    I flash my lights whenever theres a cop vehicle of any sort. Hardly anyone gives me warnings about a potential cop. I'm also against the school of thought on not reminding speeding drivers of cops/speed cameras nearby. You maybe an idiot for speeding past speed camera when you have been warned...
