thank ya. (reply thing is making me type more)

hey everyone, im wondering about ute soft covers, my original one pretty much tore itself apart, and im looking for a replacement. i looked on ebay and theres a few good ones there but im not sure about the size, will all covers from VU-VZ fit each other? i have a VUII. no sports bar or...

hey, been a while since i posted anything, but I've been a happy lurker all the same :yeah: anyway, my VU ute is due for its 150'000 service, and by 150'000 i mean i let it slip to 158ish by now. it keeps flashing the 150'000 on the screen when it starts :P anyway i have the 175'000 basic...

tough like genetalia disease? damn thats tough! alot of VD cars would be scratched alot tho.

*sigh* woke up this morning, car started first time....cheeky. still took it to holden and they replaced battery and had someone check over it, while i sat on the couch and watched some movie. they forgot to enter in the radio code tho, but i came back and it took all of 2 seconds for that to...

i dont get it tho, i never budged the battery, or even gone over a bump at a dodgy speed. I just drove it there, and got back in the car not even 2 mins after and it wouldnt start!

yeah, pretty annoyed, had the car for like 4 days and it wont turn over. it was totally fine, and tonight it rained, and i went and dropped off some stuff to someones house, and i get back in the car, AND IT WONT TURN OVER. I get a veeerrrry slight cough at the start and then a quick clicking...

i picked up my ute today. im in love, ahh. took 5 mins for the first police car to run straight up behind me, but alas i was wary. hyper mica VU S2. the only thing i have witht he car is that the accelerator is a bit sticky on the first press when you turn on, after that its smooth, but the...

k the first one is how big is the tank? and whats about the cost of switching entirely to gas? and how much rebate do ya usually get, (im in WA). and switching the internals so i dont get too much performance loss. what needs to be done there and approx $$. sorry bout the dumb questions...

hey, where do you get the grey feltish material to chuck on the outside, i need some. didnt find any in bunnings, and ive looked....in bunnings lol.

what? pretty sure they keep the same wheel sizes aswell. they just dont have the caps on em. why they seem to go faster? dunno, they might just know the car pretty well, they drive em a fair bit hey.

in my excel, there was a bolt securing part of the alternator, that went into the block. apparently the last owners did something wrong because the bolt snapped, half in the block half out., instead of fixing it they used some form of adhesive and just glued a bolt back on. it didnt last very...

ahhh...... 2 mothballs? ..i dont get it. :whistling

when you drive it when the temp increases are you going like under 80kms? my revived vp has a problem with the cooling fan relay/motor probably both. at higher speeds its fine, but driving at 50k zones it takes about 5 mins to get to a scary temperature. have a look and see if any hoses...

whats involved in taking it off. the front of the car got the old friendly nudge and the corner is pushed in too far about 2-3 cms, enough to break the lights in that corner. i was able to replace the lens (still need to put new headlight @ highbeam bulbs in xenon here we come!) but the corner...

i cant just pop around to ebay tomorow. I live near fremantle if that helps any.

hey im looking for a place to buy manuals on how to rip apart and put together a VP exec. where should i look for em? i was hopoing to pick one up tomorow, i wanna add brighter lights, so that probably needs better wiring, also wanna add a stereo, and fix up random parts on the inside. do...

WTF!@ I am going throw big freakin rocks at the next moron in a landcruiser who comes from behind and cuts me off in any freakin merging areas. today i can happily say i norrowly avoided death from some ******** who felt the need to accelerate from 2-3 carlengths behind me to just infront of...

it still isnt going to fix the main problem. next year im still going be anally raped by insurance costs.

man, that would bump up the prices of second hand commies a bit. if they lose RWD, i dont know what id do....apart from buy a VZ and keep it good. and they better not call it a commodore. just my random thoughts.

im sorry guys, id really like to boycott indonesian products and stuff, but im hooked on buying ungodly amounts of me goreng from woolies. im probably single handedly supporting their economy. i wonder what would happen if they busted her out of there, and got her back into aus. when she gets...

yeah...well......ah.......your brains....are. going....into hibernation because its so cold over there..sometimes. where did you get those uniforms? the toilet store?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! what im also happy about tonight, is that the cowboys are getting more rep players. GO NQ, GO QLD. GO MAROONS! btw good game. and as if channell 9 would let us go, after all the origins, theres only 1 point seperating the total scores. and QLD is ahead by 1 win...

hehe i like getting the most for my money, but i also see alot of dodgy guys around here selling cars. I figure this is one of the better places to find out how much i should buy for. Also i should ad, if im gonna spend this much money, i want to be able to not worry about it breaking down...

okay i say a really nice VS, with new lowered suspension or something, spoiler, just serviced (meh they all say that) new 17" wheels that look great to me, the exterior and interior are top notch. i havent seent he engine yet, but if it too was in good condition (getting RAC to have a look...

in the driving test they urge you to not shift down. less concentration on the gearbox and more on traffic or some story similar. but my mates dont do it and fly through their brakes, i just feel lots more in control, safer and smoother keeping my car in gear, sure its just a matter of...

i had to push my excel up a hill because my mum thought it would be funny to see what happens when you dont add water/coolant for a few months, and on a hot day, it overheated, on a main road, on a turn left lane. had no option but to push it up by myself, i was quite annoyed. and btw, excels...

w00t 90 year olds in Supercars!!!!! death valley!!! i wouldnt mind like if the restricitons were enforced, you had to do a driving course with the spinning out and stuff, and on completion of that you could use higher powered cars. also i dont like people who only have auto licences trying...

then id probably have to get a VS exec, no mad little features, no spoiler, probably a bit worse condition than a good vr would be in. thats my thought pattern anyway.

Im just trying to get some ideas what the looks for the VE is going to be like. You guys have shown me pics to the SSX and the torana, Im not sure if its all based on the VE tho? or has anyone got and pics of VE's in the early stages possibly?

i forget ive posted here, but if its a different story then i lied before and this is the truth. first car was the Mighty Excel, then i got my mums VP, then thats dead and im back with my excel. 2500 for the excel, manual, only had 2 oil leaks and everytime you shift into 3rd it crunches...

Sha Wing! PWNT etc. hilarious :D

chicks driving commodores, especially the awsome kinds are just about the best thing ever.

thats the budget for everything, well..car + whatever it needs so it runs well. Im hoping to have ~1000 in the bank for stuff like insurance/RAC. i dont mind going another VP, but still a good condition VP obviosly, might even have a part or 2 spare if something goes wrong, but I would...

okay, Im thinking of getting a 7-8000 buck loan to get a new commy. Im thinking VR? V6. low km's (duh). Do you think its possible to get a nice one at that price, i had the VP dropped down through the family to me, so i didnt have to worry about this before :D...then it died :( but now i can...

you should have it so most of the time the fuel gauge reads empty and you need to click the "Bash the Dash" button to make it read properly for a few seconds.

cool, i heard it wasnt going to be based on the VT anymore.

does anyone know what the next letter combination for the commodores are going to be?

haha, unlike these suckers i thought it was a laugh. once again haha!

its dead, shes finally karked it. goodbye oh mighty white beast. your 3.8L of awsomeness will never be forgotten. it happened in the drive thru the first time, then you recovered because you knew i dont like being stranded, then you got me home, then finally died for good. fear not you wont be...
