    Difference between a Vx ss and Vx Clubby

    You will need a dual @ 2.5". Most people either go dual 2.5" or dual 3", a single 2.5" would be far too restrictive. I have heard good things about Sureflo's single 3.5" systems though.

    Difference between a Vx ss and Vx Clubby

    Tune, exhaust and I think the intake may be different. The engine is identical in each. The SS comes with a dual 2" from factory, the Clubsport come with a Dual 2.25". With all the usual mods done (mafless tune, 2.5" exhaust, OTR etc) they make the same power.

    gains with ls1 edit???

    As others have said, you are betteer off having exhaust intake & tune done at once. Would be looking at roughly 220-240rwkw depending on tuner, health of motor and trans type. Cost would be $2000 - god knows where depending on brand and materials of exhaust. My auto blew the sun shell with...

    Otr

    I got a package deal a while ago, cost me $1000 for tune and OTR. Normal price is $900 odd for tune and depending on the OTR $400-600. Went from 204rwKw to 230rwKw. Made the auto behave a lot nicer and the throttle response seemed to improve a fair bit. I'm yet to get out to the drags to get a...

    Otr

    Duspeed is probably the most aesthetically pleasing. Was going to get a Ramjet when I had mine tune at Hi-Torque but they offered me a aluminum one to save having to bash the crap out of the A/C condensor.

    VX LS1 1000-3000 RPM / shuddering issue

    What was the auto error code? I had a code for the trans pressire manifold being faulty a few months back. Basically the car was just shifting very harsh, but other than that the car drove normally. The drivetrain warning light would come on once the trnas flyid got hot, I assume the temp would...

    Carpoint Ad- VX S with extras!!!!!!

    He is the reason Commodore owners get such a bad wrap. Are they diamantes on the window button surround? Almost worth parting with the $7k just to watch that thing burn!!

    How much horse power/kilowatts Is my car pushing?

    I'd say around the 220-240rwkw depending on the exhaust and tune.

    got my new vt clubby 300 rwkw

    Think you have that around the wrong way. Either way 300rwkw is going to take a reasonably big cam to achieve on a N/A LS1.

    What are you chasing for the full set? I'm in Brisbane but work has a office in Dandenong, if you could get them to their I could arrange the transport to QLD.

    Vx clubsport performance

    Your tune must be horrible. My VX A4 with Difillipo 2.5" cat back and 200cpi cats made 204rwkw. After tune and OTRCAI it made 229rwkw. With a decent tune and OTRCAI you should be making anywhere between 220-240rwkw through a manual.

    just got mafless tune

    Depending on cam size that seems like a pretty healthy reading. I made 229rwkw (auto) with tune, otr, cats and catback. That was up from 204rwkw before tune and otr. Car is much more lively now though, eventually though the bug will bite again and something is going to be done about stock cam...

    what is the least favorite thing about ur car?

    Front bumper fitment is off. But the least fabourite thing about my car at the moment is that after nearly 3 months of stuffing around my gearbox still has issues. Had the car tuned about 6 weeks ago but haven't been able to enjoy it yet as the box is stuffed, car has spent almost as much time...

    [LS2] Vz ls2 ute first mods???

    Reporting for duty ;) As already mentioned OP, exhaust, otrcai and tune should be the first steps.

    First time towing

    Only ever towed a couple of times but it wasn't hard. Reversing took a little getting used to. Just take it easy and leave plenty of room for braking. It's recommended to leave the car in 3rd (in A4) rather than drive when towing. I assume it is to avoid the above happening.

    [NSW] Which Tyres to buy? 235 18"

    Have Kumho KU31's on mine, wet and dry grips levels are pretty good. Not sure about wear though as they have only been on for a few thousands k's.
  17. Richie217

    Noob Question

    In QLD I'm pretty sure it goes on the overall diameter of the tyre, not the rim size. From memory it +15mm/-26mm of the stock diameter.

    Vx ss vs xr6t vs r33

    In stock form it would be very close between the XR6T and the SS, I would give the slight edge to the SS. With the Tune and OTR the SS would munch the XR6T. If the Ford owner spent a few grand on the XR6T the SS would struggle though, however, no amount of HP is going to change the fact it ius a...

    Xforce exhaust problems.

    Same here. Difilippo 2.5" on mine and only complaint is it sits a little low. Clipped it a couple of times already, sounds nice though.

    What causes the V6 to have little power?

    Not going to happen, unless all the VL drivers were useless. VLturbo has better power to weight and also produces more torque.

    What causes the V6 to have little power?

    I think it's the NA V6 part that makes it slow :smoking:

    Automatically locking...

    My VX has done this a couple of times. I started the car, put the A/C on and closed the door so the cabin would cool while I ducked back into the office. Car locked itself with the engine running with me on the outside of the car. RACQ to the rescue. The cabin was cool after the 40min wait...

    Idiots at the carwash broke my fuel flap

    Glad to hear it worked out well for you mate. Never understood why so many VT/VX's were missing their fuel flaps. After purchasing my VX I now know why. Any reason why Holden cheaped out when it came to the design of these? I get nervous eveytime I have to fill up as I'm kinda a clumsy guy...

    Italy moves to ban drivers 80+

    One morning on my way to work I took off from the lights leading to a freeway on-ramp, I gave it a little bit but nothing stupid or illegal, come around a blind corner to see an old bloke (looked maybe 85) coming towards me!!!!! This dopey old prick in all his wisdom had decided he didn't want...

    Italy moves to ban drivers 80+

    Had that happen to me on Friday on my way home from work. 110 zone old bloke in front of me doing 85 in the far right lane refusing to change into the left lane. Myself and 10+ cars forced to overtake him on the leftside. What really shits me though is when you get a group of these asshats...

    Hero Killed Saving Family

    These pricks should be hung, drawn & quartered! Though knowing our judicial system they we get a slap on the wrist because no doubt they have had a "tough upbringing" that somehow eleviates them of any responsibility for their actions.

    were to get gts stickers

    This was the guy with the fake Clubby that now wants a fake GTS? P.s. Was talking about cars with funny aftermarket kits in the other thread so just adding to that.... In a magazine at work there is an awesome Suzuki Cappucino with a GTR R35 bodykit, pure sex on wheels :)

    help guys

    This thread is fail of the highest quality. The VN must have the "police chip" and a Flux capacitor, I'm sure it would pull "fully hektik" 1/4 mile times to bro. P.S. Please download one of the many free Internet based spell checking programmes available as people will generally respond...

    Thanks for the feed back guys. Yeah darker tint is also on the wants list. Stereo was installed yesterday. Spent most of today installing a stereo into the old VR so I can get rid of that, but I'll take some interior pics next weekend.

    Truckie escapes jail sentence

    He wasn't breaking the law and just had a lapse in concentration, as I'm sure we have all had. Unfortunately for Truckie it had Dire consequences. Leaving with the fact that he is responsible for the death of two children will haunt him for the rest of his life, there will not be a day go by...

    Agreed. Leave the dinner plates for the guys in the states driving Yukons. If he ditched the vulgar chrome and the spoiler that would be a sweet looking Supra.

    vx gts stickers and badges

    Thought the same thing. You are just asking for cops to harass you. At the end of the day it is your car and I don't have to drive the thing, but my 2c take all badging off. This is just a bogus as the GLi Lancers I see with Evo bodykits and badges, or GTS-T Skylines with GTR kits and...
