    VF1 SSV Wheels

    Plenty of youtube vids on how to do it yourself...$100 in cans (7-8), $30 in solvents etc...and completely reversible if you dont like it...i reckon id give it a go before committing big coin down..

    VF Redline VCM and Tune booked in

    What's it setting you back? Do you mind if I ask... how much? Just wondering it there's an unbeatable special on somewhere so i could convince myself to get something done before end of financial year.... "Yes Mr Taxation commissioner.. it was a necessary repair and thus a deductible"....

    Vf afm..??

    Hi mate, I've had VE and VF 6.0 litre's.. the VE used to tell you on screen when AFM kicked in but the VF series (all variants including WN caprice) DOES NOT. I assume you've got the auto SSV Redline (very nice btw) as the manual doesn't have AFM fitted. I have a 14 Caprice-V with AFM-...

    Front Door Rattle

    Thanks, because it's a VF thread I didnt specify model..its a WN capriceV but I understand that all VF/WN trims/internal mouldings essentially the same so was hoping someone had done it so I could avoid inadvertently breaking clips etc trying to get the skins off...

    VF Key Fob Battery Replacement Instructions?

    The little slot doesn't charge the battery in the Key-Fob - the CR2032 batteries in the fobs are NOT rechargeable. What it's for is if the battery in the fob is so low that car is not detecting the keys as being in the car (so that it won't start) you can place the fob into that slot and even...

    Good read: 2015 Chevrolet SS vs 2003 BMW M5

    "One of the best 4 Door driver's cars of our time..." what a thrilling endorsement of Australian automotive design... and a bittersweet epitaph for an industry we let slip through fingers.

    VF Key Fob Battery Replacement Instructions?

    Hi everyone, I just answered my own (original) question on how to replace the VF/WN Key Fob battery and it COULD NOT BE EASIER. It is easier than the VE series!!! I've linked a video- But if the link doesn't work then; 1) Hold the KeyFob and flip out the key. 2) Turn the key fob over...

    Front Door Rattle

    *sigh* A rattle in the passenger front door has driven me nuts for months- if I push on the centre of the door trim it stops so it appears to be under the inner 'skin' under the moulding you can rest your arm on... any pointers on how to remove the inner door skin to get at it.... The rear...

    VE R8 HSV headers and cats on WN caprice-V?

    OK, they did bolt up just fine- even squeezing in past the steering linkage. Now that they are on..I haven't had a chance to give it a healthy 'off the line' to 'feel' any difference as it's too wet in Melbourne today. From a sound perspective....there is a difference, I think it's a tiny bit...

    VE R8 HSV headers and cats on WN caprice-V?

As soon as I fit them up I'll update just in case it helps someone else- with 130 views of this thread to date and no takers- there...

    How to keep a Cat off your car?

    hmmm, but how would the cat be 'earthed' to complete the circuit and give it its well deserved 'buzz'. - True story, my dad parked his car on 4 plates & hooked the car body to a battery/capacitor b/c the neighbours dog would p1ss on the wheels, the next time it did, it 'earthed' the dog...

    Is this an unmarked police car?

    State Police aren't the only police force operational in Victoria using unmarked cars of different types with different 'red herring' fixtures to the car to confuse a person who might otherwise be 'wary' of traditional unmarked vehicles. Also, even if it was a Vic Pol car, It's not just...

    Big Clunk from front end when parking!

    Big Clunk from front end when parking!

    haha- thanks. the VE-V has park assist.... side bar note though, I have climbed into my wifes car, backed into the garage forgetting that IT doesn't have park assist & just about pushed it through the wall. I've formed the belief that technology makes us lazy..

    ve sv6 exhaust

    SV6 Redback mufflers I found this when researching mufflers for VE- this guy claims NO MODS other than the redback mufflers bolted on- for a 6-banger I reckon it sounds pretty good! Hope this helps you figure out what you want. YouTube - VE SV6 now with redback rear mufflers.

    Big Clunk from front end when parking!

    It seems so, but on paying closer attention the 'clunk' is definately located more on the left side (passenger) than the right & particularly after coming from (almost) full left hand down lock, a half revolution to the rigth and then a CLUNK you can feel through the wheel. I've had several...

    Sound Proofing Exhaust Drone

    Hey Kittau, Is it a stock exhaust? The reason I ask is, my x-force system droned a little and the revs it droned at changed when my transmission also got replaced for the A6 flaring issue. I figured the droning became more apparent at earlier speeds because the shifting characteristics...

    Water Pump efficency and engine performance
