any ideas how much a fuel filter is, and wether injectors are hard to replace??

i was seriously considering a 2 1/2 inch cat back system, and was under the impression that it would increase my overall power.. my low end power isnt great as it is.., and if instaling one would reduce this would it be a great deal, and what are the best ways to counter this??

i never thought to check before... i just assumed vs executive came with at least a drivers air bag.. how disapointing

does any one know if vs series 1 come with standard drivers air bag?

nice car mate, i never would have guessed that is the same wheel, they are awsome. i prefer them with the hub caps on lol if you get bored with the one wheel you could stick the crome on the front with the black on the back, or visa versa.. that'd look sexy!

ok, thanks for you help, i think ill leave it to the pro's, ill take it to a mechanic on monday and ask him his oppinion.

hmm sounds expensive.. its done 250 000k's and i dont think its had a clutch replaced so its probable there is something wrong with it.. i did burn it the other day aswell (had a good song pumping and wasnt paying attention:whistling) havent tried what you suggested but it is more of a...

i thought that may be the case, it sounds a bit like that could be what it is (dont know what that sounds like though to compair) i just went down stairs and gave it a bit of a rev in neutral nothing seams to happen, however in 1st with the clutch pushed in, once you reach over 25000 rpm the...

hi, just bought a calais light for my vs, havent got it yet though.from reading this i was just hopeing that someone could confirm what it is i have to do; 1. cut out some of the cardboard. 2. run another wire for the map lights, is it a positive wire? and where does it connect? do i have to...

hi, just bought a calais map light for my vs.. im assuming from this thread you bought one of those for your vr? just wondering what was required to install it.

ive got a vs, i want to get a key cut with no electrics in it so i can take it swimming with me. will this work, reading this i thought it may work if i open the car and start it within that 30 second disarmed imobiliser time?

its my first car and im still at school, so only having a part time job i spend most my money on petrol, thought lpg could save me some money.. i guess ill have to do my sums and work out which will be best.. i like the sound of that vapor injection system though.. i might ditch the idea of...

thanks for that.. heard that there is a new direct injection system that actually increases power:thumbsup: using a cheeper fuel with more power sounds like the best of both worlds.. only im not sure how much more an instilation for this costs.. you cant really go past a $100 lpg system...

thanks, did a quick search but couldnt find anything, ur car looks mad! i assume you filled the gaps where they fitted into the car and then re-sprayed? how much did the respray cost?

Just wondering if anyone has put VZ indicator vents on their car?? i think i saw a white sedan driving round with them the other day and they looked pretty nice..:thumbsup: how would you go about fitting them? is the vz white paint the same as a vs white? thanks

great thread., tryed to de-badge my vs wagon today, used the hair dryer and fishing line method, but after breaking too much fishing line resorted to using a library card. The library card worked a treat no troubles and took all of 15 seconds. unfortunatley the glue had discolured my white...
