i just got my ssv back today from getting diff replaced,i bought a 3.7 from uve on ebay $1700 and cost me another 550 for labour as he replaced engine mounts aswell, i can notice a difference but the reason i got it relaced was because i had a clunkling coming from diff area like a diff back...

cheers ( rum87) thats good to know, is sometimes hard to distinguish between the humour and what is being said as fact on here lol, although the flux capacitor would have been handy in undoing some major life changing decisions over the last 20 years
yeap i cut a wire, it has 2 wires one grounded to car and other directly to positive at battery so it appears to only be powering itself lol maybe thats all it does is flash a green light and that its soul purpose in life, are you guys been funny or really have no idea lol
lol i thought it might just be some kind of after market alarm with the flashing light, so i snipped the positive wire to see what would happen and the car was extremely hard to start and ran poorly
just wanting some feed back on these rims,from certain angles they look awesome but mostly they appear as i have green rims on silver ss, dont know if i wanna go black like avanti tourers staggered or something like silver kahn's ??
hey this is on the passenger side of engine bay in my ve ss and has one wire to power and one to an earth , what is it and what does it do...?? looks like its been added and car wont run with out it lol
yeah you've definately sold me on the front spotties and bottom grill ,now just to tie in rest of the ute and if nothing works maybe it needs nothing more ?
i like it in pic form,but pic form and actually having it on your car and seeing it from the various angles is the mind bender lol i messed around with my old vz ss bar in same manner,looked great on computer but didnt transfer across into the painting but that said is only paint nothing that...
