    Holden CAI = Car stalls

    Lowering (IRS)

    Engine mounts

    my vs has just had new engine mounts (hydraulic ones which had perished) cost me 330 s&f, but the dude discounted the labour because it was pedders and hed already pulled most of the front suspension and cross member out so it wasnt as much time for them like the dud ebaove said though for...

    Insurance On Your Vs

    yeah thats my understanding. Mod's (assuming you can substantiate ownership) will get you 0-10% of the Mod's value in terms of increased payout from the insurer. They just don't see them as increasing the value of the car because someone (anyone) you try and sell it too may say 'oh but i...
