Well,after a few years of being the "kid carter",my poor old clubby was looking a lil grotty inside.. Soooo,I decide to pull seats and carpet out to clean them properly. Under the carpet I found the yellow plug pictured,under the drivers seat.I dont remember seeing this on the few vr/vs commos...

Well,I ended up sourcing a pair of proper twin piston HSV front calipers,and ordering some 328mm discs tonight..next week grab a 1" master cylinder..im still lost on the rears at the moment :/

Thanks everyone for all the replys :) Yea,I understand VE would be better and easier,and I can get VT parts cheap as chips...but im still more inclined to go the hard way and keep it as HSV intended :) Legalities arent an issue :P..us tasweigans get away with blue murder...well,my "other" ride...

Hey all...I gots an issue.. I have a VR clubsport with the standard brakes. I understand the "Premium upgrade" hsv brakes were the VN grp A/SV5000 twin piston front/single rear C4 vette style calipers. Now..does anyone know if HSV used the corvette calipers front and rear?and are the vette...

Thanks for the replys :),at least I know it can be fixed with some basic parts....its no "mechanical fault" as such....its no heavier than any other VT onwards SS ive drove,and being lowered on 19s dont help either :P ,but yea,its just heavy enough to aggravate his arthritis....its a tidy ute so...

Hey all...Well,my father in his 60s has a VU SS as his toy...he loves it...as he would after 50 years of driving fords :)...only problem is as hes gettin older,the arthritis is getting worse...he is finding it too painful to drive much,he spends most of his time driving the subaru :(. Its at...

Nope...completely different

Does your key button work?Factory immobiliser could be stuck on...After letting mine sit for 6 months,put a fresh battery in,and it wouldnt start,not even cough...after a coupla hours swearing at it,I had a ! moment,and grabbed the spare key...fired up straight away... Sometimes its the simple...

I have 3.45s in my manual clubby,and is a good compromise for highway/town driving.... Very happy with them. but yea,depends on what you want them for...if you are a traffic light warrior,get the 3.9s....

Ha....ive been racking my brain trying to remember the name of that film....meatballs is awesome.

It could be a VR airbag wheel....tis hard to tell without the hornpad.... From memory there are 3 HSV steerers in the VR/VS range... VR non airbag(i need one) VR Airbag VS airbag(slightly different to VR....) hope that helps a little....

Yep,ive thought about that....but i own a police scanner,and listen to these same little pricks being chased by the cops nearly every night of the week. The other night,they got 16 cars in one night.... And funnily enough,all of these little scumbags are all out on bail...for car stealing.1...

Ive nearly had the clubsport stolen,but they couldnt get it started....Every time i leave it parked where i cant see it,i disable it... I now leave a disabled "Bait car" outside my house....has no inside doorhandles/locks/winders....so once the door closes,only way out is to smash a...

Ha...that is the exact reason my clubsport is sitting under a blanket of dust...I havnt drove it for a couple of months. 1.Doorlocks stuffed and central locking playing up and ignition barrel buggered after it nearly falling victim to car thieves while parked outside a mates house. 2.Got a...

Got some pics of my clubby in the VR/VS rides section....mine runs superlows

Or are V6 manual/v8 manual the same as each other?

Ok...yesterday the front uni on my tailshaft let go on the clubsport,and the 2 holes where the uni fits onto the front of the tailshaft is destroyed.... But I know where a V8 auto VR calais is being wrecked,can I just put my manual yoke on the auto tailshaft and bolt it in?or are the front...

Spot on,mine too....works a treat

Go to your toolkit,and grab out the 21mm or imperial equivalant sparkplug socket....should slide in the hole nicely,and fit snugly on your wheelnut...pull out the rubber insert first if your plug socket has one....never found a wheel yet that the trusty plug socket wont go in....my plug socket...

Even us down the little island arent safe from it....had mine parked at a mates house last night,car was broken into,doorlock is ****ed,ignition feels ok,not sure if they got it turning over,I take out relays and have other measures to stop it starting.Especially there,he lives in a dodgy area...

Hmmmm......what about a twist then?What if you had a neighbour ask any of you to change your exhaust coz it wakes their kids up?(Seeing I cant see how doof doof can be louder than pacemakers and lukeys...)

Really cant understand how "doof doof doof"for 15/20 seconds coming up the street warrants any action.....and yes,I have 2 young children....My clubby rumbling up the road would be louder than a coupla 12" subbies.....Wonder what my neighbours thought when I was a P plater...cranky ported...

Luckily,My dog came from the 90% of good breeders....He was born with 3 toes on one of his feet,bred from european champion dobermans,just a genetic thing....they had him desexed/docked/operation to give him full use of his foot,we just had to pay for it....still worked out a lot cheaper then...

No benifit at all really,when compared to a good quality double roller chain....ive known of 3 people with gear drives,2 high quality,and one ebay special,all had pretty much destroyed themselves within 20,000 klms.....just wank factor on a 5.0

Had a mate once years ago with a VL....who after a few beers decided to show us in his shed how his auto 6 banger VL does it...."needs no brakes,that grunty it sits on the spot"......apparently.....in practice it went somewhat different though....hit the workbench,bent the shed and ****ed the VL....

Always scrape down after cooking,and the next time you fire it up,get it hot,pour on some beer with a bit of salt,and wipe down with newspaper.

I just hope this isnt someone who works on your car.....coz its quite obvious he has no clue....
