    vz overheating

    check the coolant level, its normal for the temp to go a fair way up but not to the top... it could also be an airlock - regardless, get it checked out so you don't end up screwing your engine...

    Remote Fail

    have you tried just starting the car once you've set off the alarm? that usually fixes the problem if the key's lost its coding. what about the spare key, got that somewhere?

    Too Big???

    I've got a twin 2.5" system pretty much exactly like what you have described and I think it's too big. I'm fairly certain I lost low down power but gained top end power and opened up the engine to rev more freely. I'd go 2.25" for the 175 unless you've done some pretty big power-gaining mods to it

    Alloytec loud squeeking noise, belt slip?

    Ive had this problem since I had coolant spilled on my belt by holden... It seems to recur when it gets wet (with water). The best way to fix it is to spray silicone spray all over the belt and tensioner pulley. I had the belt replaced at one point which stopped the noise until the idiots...

    you should be able to do it for FAAAARRRRRRRRRR less than $2300 - I was quoted $700 to supply and fit pacemaker headers. Go to Drew and the boys at AAA Exhaust at Richmond and they'll fix you up

    will this fit

    I got a twin 2.5 off a s/c vx calais - the exhaust is the same as the LS1 so it fit like a glove. I think its a bit too big to make more power but it doesnt drone or anything else bad or annoying...

    How do i know if my coils are stuffed

    mine didnt throw any codes when i had a misfire. it could be a coil, could be bad fuel, a bad plug... if you have the lights on, that lowers the rpm and causes a vibration, same with radio and fan/aircon etc etc etc

    HID Lights, What to get

    I had some 4300k hid's in my calais and they were good, except for the shape of the beam. It was very angled (up) at the left side (on both lights) so I couldn't have the main part of the beam in front of me at the height I wanted it. Anyone know why that would happen?

    ssl and exhaust problem?

    In SA, its min 100mm at the lowest point (i think mudflaps are exempt) but there's also the 'eyebrow' height between the middle of the wheel and the bottom of the guard which is different for every make and model of car

    Urgent help needed!! :(

    I found they didn't give a massive improvement, but it was definitely noticeable, if for nothing else but the temperature of the intake manifold - mine was almost cold after a 6hr drive from interstate (the strut brace above the manifold certainly wasn't so cool!!!). I think there is also a...

    ssl and exhaust problem?

    That is very low!!! I have Lovells superlows and Boge lowered shocks and have scraped on 1 big speedhump in about 12 months... It is low, but not so low that I have to crab-walk over humps and thru dips. I think I'm about 20-25mm below FE2, just as a comparison...
