Finally acheived my life dream of buying a V8 commodore the other day, i was regod on here when i was on red ps, nearly got a VL but ended up with a shitbox honda then a subaru but the other day i just pulled the trigger on a perfect blue redline sedan in manual. Had posters of the monaro and...

well most manuals dont have a park brake like an auto does, as in a pin that locks the output shaft of the trans (or atleast i think thats how they work). so for me seeing that it has a park brake warning light on the dash tells me its in park.

Hey guys, you might have seen me in the VL section asking questions regarding to that model. anyway, i have found a VK calais that i like the look of on carsales, but its a V6 model, the owner says its a manual trans, but when i looked at pics of his dash it clearly shows an illuminated park...

i was just going to remove the knob and slide it over the rod part and then screw it in place or glue it in with some liquid nails etc. its pretty cool, you can get the parts made in anything from balkalite to carbon fiber. even wood lol.

i dont think it will cost too much, there are companies online that provide you with CAD software that you design you part in, and then you just send them the file and they make it. ill try to find the link. Not sure on the legality of it, ill ask a mechanic about it. edit...

i have a full set of Maxfli (sp?) clubs, cost me about 500$ and they are great, they make cheaper sets, i guess around your price range, and i would deff reccomend you take a look at them. watch out for ebay though, heaps of chinese fakes/crap on it. if you ever in NSW check out Golfmart, the...

a mate of mine has one of pioneers pro 2 slot touch screen jobbies in his car, its a great system, but its fairly slow and laggy to respond. not sure how much it cost, but he dropped 3k on his audio install. so might be expensive. i was playing with some HU's in JB the other day, the...

Hey guys, im going to buy a VL soon, and im planning on fixing the interior up a bit. one of the things i dont like about the VL (and most cars from the era) is the horrid rubber shifter boot. so im thinking of getting a peice of metal cut to form a metal plate like they had in older cars...

wow punctuation would help, imo its kinda a waste of time, sure you will have more power. but the ratio of effort:power gains is pretty ****, why not just get a V8 or rebuild the standard VL engine with a turbo / other performance parts.

what your really saying is, your mates drink beer and the girls you know drink wine. most of the girls i know drink either bottles of vodka or RTD's, and most of the guys i know drink beers or RTDs like woodys and etc. i would say the majority of teens drink RTD's

yea he is, some how he hasnt managed to have an accident yet, thankfully the rest of my friends now can drive, and so they normally choose to drive themslefs rather then go with him, so when he does crash, he hopefully wont take 4 people with him. while i do agree that my theory is not fool...

i feel their plan is more to target new drivers born around 1985>, as none of them are used to cars with no abs or remember times with out seatbelts etc. and are such used to relying on their car for protection. an old mate of mine made a example of himslef when he drove 120kmh down the...

Hello pub, I theorise that, The governments of the world, legislate car saftey "improvments"(ie seat belts/airbags/abs) so as to encourage drivers to: A) trust that their car will protect them in a HIGH SPEED crash B) care less about driving at a high speed in adverse conditions...

wow they look quite pro, i would be interested in one if they were a good price.

ok great, thanks, Bad news :( the seller left it at work and so i cant go see it for another week. lol

how much do these inspections normally cost?, im on a extreamly tight arse budget lol.

Hey guys, im going to look at it this saterday, im not sure if it has rego or not, in his ad he said it did not, but he said over the phone it did (i think, might have mis heard him), so im a little concerened with RWC to get it rego'd. does anyone know what is required to get a RWC, like...

yea i only need it for 6 months, after that i will have a new car, if its a dog ill just sell it for parts etc after 6 months, but who knows i might get attached to it :P ill do the 50c peice trick, and ill check the other stuff listed by detox_nath83. ill try and get some pics up, not...

hey guys, first post. Im on the trail of a cheapo commodore (like 500$) and i have found a 5spd VL for around that price. im going to go take a look at it some time this week, and i just want to know what to look out for. the guy said it has a bit of rust and im not expecting much for this...
