    Head Unit Removal Tool - Mazda 121

    This isn't commodore related so sorry if this is in the wrong section - I just figured car audio would be the place. Can an admin move my thread if necessary.(normally my questions are about my VT, i'm not just using this forum for this.) I am looking for a tool to remove the stereo from my...

    Aftermarket Tinting

    Considering putting the darkest legal tint in my vt, my old tint is peeling. Does anyone know what the percentage light transmission is the darkest legal for WA? Also, i have access to discount at super cheap and repco, do you reckon i should try to do it myself? or get one of those...

    intermittent miss at idle help

    Misfiring or rough running at idle can be an oxygen sensor. If you have a mechanic friend, get them to whack your car into one of those little computer things they have, and they can check all the sensors throughout the engine. If it's not your leads, plugs or coil pack then it probably isn't...

    Superlows in my VT ????????

    when you put superlows on a vt, you need to change the springs, and the camber kit on the rear for sure (this stops the wheels tilting inwards like this / (car) \ . If you don't do that, your tyres wear unevenly. I'm not 100% on the camber kit for the front (like if it's a necessity) but while...

    thanks guys I'll have to buy the t5 and t10 led globes off the internet, does anyone know how many i need to get / can reccommend any place other than crazysales.com.au to get them from? Also, i've been reading through a haynes repair manual, do you really have to take the sterring wheel off...

    LED Dash Lights

    Hi, I've tried contacting phreddy but i havent got any replies. If anyone knows, it would really help cause it'll save me pulling my dash apart. Pretty much i'm just generically saying: anything that's green, I want it to be blue. I presume that some of the back light in the cluster...

    vt pod filter adaptor

    Since there were no responses to my other thread, http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/82227-vt-w-gas-conversion-intake-options-pod-new-cover.html Does anyone know what adapter you need to go from the stock air intake box to a 3.5 inch pod filter? or what size...

    Tick Tick Tick

    ticking is normally a lifter sound, if it's coming from the top side of the engine. Take the cover off the top off the engine and see if you can isolate the noise to a component, if it sounds like it's coming from the inside it's probably the lifters, otherwise it'll be wherever the noise is...

    VT w/ gas conversion intake options - pod or new cover?

    Hi all, I got my car put on gas last week and the bastards that fit it cracked the filter box on both sides of it, and there is a hissing noise as unfiltered air seeps into the intake. I need to do something asap; and I'm interested as to what you think is the best option (bar suing the...

    Labour does it again

    unfortunately, no. his approval rating is still in the ten to twenty percent for preferred prime minister? But that's because of him, not his policy. I'm a lib supporter, but tbh i wouldn't want him as pm. Secondly - Political sciences, whether you did it at UNI or high school, aren't...

    ok. well, to be honest, i'm not going to know how i'm going to do it until i start, but i'll see whats easiest. thanks again for all your help :)

    Labour does it again

    i don't think the gas vs petrol argument really makes that much of a difference. I'm putting my VT on gas, but purely because it's cheaper: and will be even cheaper because it will be hit less by the carbon whatever scheme, and as a student i can afford dick all anyway. That said, i'm only just...

    Has your question been asked before?

    updates to this thread i think a massive help would be a link to the "noise in my sound system" threads that are going around, alot of people are asking this also, perhaps a link for "how to mount speakers in my model" to the various model pages, alot of people are asking that too imo anyway

    Power Antenna in VT?

    my vt has the standard antenna. i'm pretty sure the calais/berlina model (power windows, electrics) come with the standard electric antenna, the standard (executive) model doesn't. However, they're made out of the same bodies, so you'd be able to fit a custom aftermarket electric one in there...

    like, the floor carpet that sits under your feet and goes up the sides to underneath the seats.

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    thanks. it's not too hard to run things under the centre console, but would it be difficult (do you think) to get through (to) the carpet in the back to continue the rcas from the boot to the head unit area?

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    wiring to the boot so down underneath the carpet? Are there any trenches that go down the car for other types of wiring that i could use? and which front seat would i have to take out to do the above?

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    ok. that'll make it easier than drilling holes in the firewall. From those with experience, what's the best way to get wires from the head unit to the boot in a vt?

    Disadvantages of using High-Low line RCA converters?

    tommo, i'd make the decision based on whether you want the stock dimmer lights kept or not, cause that's a feature you simply can't get in aftermarket head units. i recall someone saying you could post it to phreddy and he will do it for you, so maybe that's a better idea if you want the dimmer...

    Sub box for 2xPioneer TS-W304DVC

    I have only ever had the mid-range pioneer subs, first i had 2 twelve inchers and now i have two tens for the faster kick, but BOTH had a message in the manual saying how big the enclosure should be; for ported, sealed, band pass and free air 'boxes' respectively. cheap boxes have always done...

    Sound System high pitch sound

    logically, what part of the electrical system goes faster when the engine revs? i reckon it's an alternator problem. Two solutions: one is an rca noise filter, (filters the sound at line-level before it gets to the amps), the other is a power signal noise filter (filters the power between the...

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    decisions, decisions... hey, yeah, it's a releif that it won't stuff up the sound. However, i just went and had a look at how the sub boxes themselves fit, and unless i wanted to buy/build custom boxes it could really make a false floor tricky (not to mention making changing the tyre...

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    heh yeah true. The tank could be a problem, but cause of all the holes in the (underneath metal part of the) parcel shelf the sound should find it's way through (i'm not sure how high up the tank will sit, but yeah). thanks for your help. I don't mean to answer my own questions but that's just...

    Is Phreddy still working?

    i wouldn't know, i've only taken the covers off and not the dash in my VT completely out to mod the lights or anything (yet), but without one i would assume it will be pretty hard.

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    (back of sub boxes) i don't like the idea of the amps vibrating with the subs, and being able to roll around, would there be a good way to lock them to the outsides of the boot? contrary to my last car, there's barely anywhere to put any restraining ockey straps or anything on... (bolting to...

    Help with a new sound system

    i do some mobile dj'ing (with a full P.A. setup) and once for a party i rigged up two of my PA speakers to one of my car amps (just a 2x300w thing). absolutely pumped. If you're only concerned about it being loud at 'parties', just buy a pair of PA speakers and rig them up to a car amplifier...

    Gas tank vs Sound System

    As per the title, I have just acquired a VT (exec) and am intending to install both of these. Gas is being installed professionally, getting $3k back towards it (something the government is actually good for?), but i'm putting the stereo in myself. However, i've found a conflict: it's fine cause...

    What Keyboard and Mouse is everyone Using

    kb/m I use a G15 keyboard (old blue one with 18 keys) and a G7 Mouse (both logitech). surprisingly, you can't get either anymore, the old version of the G15 is no longer sold (some crappy red one with only 6 spare keys is whats made now) and the G7 is canned for some reason. I'm surprised...
