I think 888 is a pretty good investment in the terms of advertising tho........

Here's the link if anyone wants to have a look: Holden Clubsport R8 2002 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

More keen on the R8 now. Works out to be $16,000AU. And just so you know $15,000NZ is about $12,000AU :D

I'm also considering an '02 VX Clubsport R8 done 150k and there asking $20,500(NZ) for it. Just figured out that the Senator is burgandy, yuck! Definately won't be buying that. But yeah do the back seats fold down in a VT/VX HSV?

I'm thinking of buying a '99 Senator. Its got the LS1 and done about 150ks and sounds like its in good nick, still waiting on pics. Is $15,000(NZ) a good price? Does anyone know if the back seats fold down in this model? Anything I should look out for, common problems etc.... Thanks:thumbsup:

Just got a new ADSL+2 modem, as you can see it has made a huge difference:D

What an awesome looking ute! The SSX kit looks real good way better than an SS one.

Thats the best joke I've heard in a long time:yeah:

A turbo mite help ya :p

only had 88k on it when I got it. Up to 109k now:D its a good base for me to start with, hopefully should get me a mid to high 13 sec pass then I will start doing more mods. Next on my list is headers and a re-tune then I might change the diff.

Yea always works out better to have someone else pay for all the mods, works out cheaper that way:D I love the ride height untill I have to go in or out of a driveway. Have to park on the road and get some exercise lol. I wouldn't mind getting some adjustables in the front and some pedders...

I paid $29grand for it (NZ dollars) about 9 months ago

How many Technical Support folks does it take to change a lightbulb ? We have an exact copy of the bulb here, and it appears to work fine. Can You tell me what kind af system You have ? Okay, exactly how dark is it ? Okay, there could be four or five things wrong.... Have You tried the light...

How many Irish men does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 100! 1 to hold the lightbulb, 1 to hold the ladder and 98 to turn the house

They're not bad tail-lights, its just that they don't seem to suit the vehicle that theyre attached to. Would suit any japanese car tho................

Cheers mate, I don't really like the Maloo kit so I'm glad I ended up with the predator.

Anything built from 2000 onwards has it have cats. The last owner of the ute removed them so if I get caught will just pled ignorance:D

I didn't come down in the last shower;) It does look like a maloo crossed with a SS front. Its called Predator.

Yes it is. What they don't know won't hurt them, its probably alot easier to get away with it in NZ:devil:

I can't see anything wrong with putting an SS/S kit on an exec/acclaim. An S is a V6 isnt it!

Its a silly place for GPS anyway its too low down you really need it higher up where its easier to glance at while your driving

3 snapped close to the hub and the other 2 just had damage to the thread but were still intact. I'm gunna put it down to crap wheel nuts and possibly over tightening in the past.

If thats the answer then why aren't other people with modified 8's having the same trouble? Is there a uprated wheel stud I should be using rather than the standard holden ones?

Oh and not that long ago somebody told that when you start producing more power the wheel studs can't handle it, not sure about this as I've only got 50kw more than standard and theyre spose to handle a fair bit of weight in the tray. Not that I ever put much weight in it. I'm sure if this...

My tyre shop doesn't use a rattle gun to do up the wheel nuts. They always uses a torque wrench and I'm not sure what tension they set it to but I have complete confidence that it would be the correct amount. The mag wheels I have sit directly onto the hub and it would be very obvious if they...

Yea didn't look too flash eh. Claimed insurance on it cause the repairs were around $4000

Ive got good quality 19inch DTM wheels and I've had it in the tyre shop shop a few times just to make sure the wheels and hub are ok. They tighten the wheel nuts with a torque wrench not a rattle gun. possibly could of been the old wheel nuts, I've replaced them all now so hopefully I don't...

Just curious if anyone has had any of their wheel studs break. A few months ago I had 3 rear studs on the passenger side break at once which caused the wheel to go flying off down the motorway:bang: I recieved a $150 fine from the cop who turned up for not securing the wheel properly which I...

11.50pm is my favourite part of the whole thing, hilarious!

Always better to round up i guess.......

Yea it is normal dealer price. CV8's would be around $34 - 36,000. Remember that $26,000 NZ dollars is roughly $20,310AUD.

It's actually an interior pic of a ba falcon. I picked it up straight away because our work cars are falcons, thought it looked familiar. Im aware that monaro's came out in CV6 as well as CV8, in the listing it says its 3800cc. Us kiwi's aren't that stupid give us some credit!;)

Just came across this on NZ's TradeMe site....... Holden Monaro 2003 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand No prizes for guessing the mistake in this listing!

You should try the test using the Christchurch server instead of the Auckland one and it might give you a better result.

We're on Slingshot's new ADSL2+ plan but using an old ADSL1 router...... hopefully should see an improvement once we upgrade to a new router.

Nah he didn't clean it at all. It was rust that was sticking it.
