first thing i though was polish and wax it. especial in our weather

haha ive actually had a guy screaming at me from another car whilst driving down the ring road asking if they were blue for any reason. gotta love the faded look and the cops haven't said anything about it yet so im not wasting $5 on new ones. im a fan of stock lights or the full calais...

say ya driving down the Calder free way and Melton hwy yesterday (easy to spot with that jc.com sticker on the back) i was in the white calais like the car, looks clean but im not feeling the tail lights

have you tried using the search button yet?

good on ya for taking on that project, whats your plans for interior? ive always found vt/vx interior abit boring compared to vy, it does fit right in part from getting the cluter to work, but that should be more fun for you to work on getting right. goodluck with it

ive got an n/a 6 calais s1 so im not gonna give an opinion about what engine to get, as any of the above are better then mine. but as far as i know the only real difference between the s1 and s2 cars is the toe rods on the rear end, s1 have heaps of problems with camber-ware and unalignable...

liv4bass - it does have pretty bad camber, i know it was 1.5 degree with the fe2 and now it just looks stupid with superlows. i would recommend getting a camber kit or do one of those vy rear end conversions. all that said i dont have a kit but do rotate them and are still doing pretty good for...

yeah the 245/45/18 is to fit a ve that will cause the rubbing and will make the speedo read incorrect. as for low traction try putting the old wheels on for a quick drive to see if it still happens, if it does it with the old ones on then that way you can rule out the new wheels.

thanks to gillo i purchased new led lights for the interior and clear covers for the shitty green ones, did that about a week ago n never got round to upping the photos. Then on monday, hopefully as an unrelated incident the alternator **** itself n was only spitting out 6 volts from the B+...

id start with a boost gauge mate, helps you dose it hard

different dynos give different readings, atmospheric differences in air density and temp, and being a demo car, it would have a fir bit of spirited driving and engine ware on it. yadda yadda yadda

sweet thanks for the help, ill deffs be off to holden on monday night to pick them up in the mean time ill be waiting by the letterbox for the lights to show up. other news, i washed her all up today n went for a drive, a gold calibra pulled up as i was driving n everyone in it was shouting i...

yeah well with that and the old rims made it look like it was grandpas race car, id rather have it looking like a clean cruiser. and also being aftermarket i only had to put a globe back in the reflector as the third light wasn't blacked out from factory yeah ive been occasionally looking on...

thanks guys. im still inlove with the rims, to me they look like a cross between the original 16's being 10 spoke with the machined face and the ve gts in the v formation. pretty surprised that i have only ever seen them fitted one car that isnt a ve. yeah white ebay leds, the first set i got...

just put mine on lovells superlows last saturday looks great, just a tip: you may want to clean out and repack your strut top bearings, the grease in mine were replaced with dirt and crap from over the years and under load would make a knocking noise (its since stopped so id say thats were it...

well my cousin just got a cannon 550d for his birthday, it was his first time out using it and most came out nicely and afew were just abit over exposed due to the flash bouncing back being a white car ive been thinking of getting a nikon 3100d... might have to try n get one for xmas

looks mint, you gotta be happy with a score like that

grommets stick out, the tape sits flush and dosnt leak... but still makes me look like a cheapo

got them off a bloke on ebay, t jam auto or some thing like that. $700 brand new with the hubs machined on special with out tyres i found some tape at bunnings thats a pretty close match and im just using that for the time being untill i can find a replacement, got a quote from a wreckers for...

so i think its time to update this pages, its been a while and ive done some work. once again another outing with a dslr. whats happened : spoiler gone, trying to get a clean boot off my mate who has one laying around n that will get rid of the duck tape blocking my holes problem. lovells...

went to clean the inside of my vx yseterday, opened the folding down middle chair when all of a sudden the button broke sending the metal rod thru the middle of it. after about 10 mins of trying to find the plastic the broke off and lifting the old button back up i went to glue it... only to...

to fit ve rims the hubs need to be bored out by 2mm or something like that, if you get to have a look at it its only a tiny lip so its no big deal to the structure of the wheel i think the profile of the tyres that come out on ve's are one size bigger then recommended for vt/vx. i have ve...

ive still got my old wheels sitting in the garage, been meaning to chuck em on ebay but if your interested pm me

thats a fair wad of cash but i suppose you payed what you felt it was worth even tho thats looking at ss territory n whats with the photos? cant you hold a camera straight jk they look good

looks nice as the wheels and colour and having that body kit remind me of the gtsr concept

looks nice but wont worry too much about the mudflap marks, i think every one has the same problem. as for the wheels if you had your heart set on a set of holdens i would say ve ss v or calais v looks good. i think both of those go well with the lines of the car. i got a set of ve calais v...

check the condition of the number plate. most of the time people are to lazy to replace their old numberplate after they have been in an accident and will try to straighten out the old one and use it again. i saw at least 3 cars with rippled and even punctured number plates when i was looking...

ive think they come from the side of the seat but ive never really payed to much attention

ITEM: my boot with ss spoiler LOCATION: Taylors lakes CONDITION: Used and in fairly good condition, boot is in grat condition and spoiler has one small crack in the base, touch up paint will fix PRICE: swap for a heron white boot with no holes CONTACT DETAILS: PM or send me a message...

nope its the super 6

my dad just sold my mums mazda 3 sp23 this weekend, up on car sales for 4 months and this was the first person to come down n see it. altho the people did first offer 16.5k and i almost walked in to tell em to f off and get back to looking at base model cars for the price... dad has a way of...

i had the full collection of this stuff like 2 years ago in year 12, 400 and something of them, tried it heaps of times and it does absolutely nothing. i think all the youtube videos are just marketing for the company

yeah same here but ive got king lows in the front and fe2 in the rear but mine looks lower then yours in the front any way

car looks clean as man, engine bay looks spotless only thing id say is lower the front, looks like its carrying a caravan

if i remember correctly its sort of like an L looking switch so you have to take it out on an angle. so pull it out of the door trim and down (bit of a tight squeeze) then just unclip the wires

i wet sanded mine between coats to keep it smooth and get rid of any dust that landed on it just use some 1200 or even 1500 and it will come up good. as for pinstripes i have no clue, try it, if it dosnt work slightly sand back till its smooth and spray over. also another tip when using clear...

yeah its an s1 vx calais, same as mine but i guess his silver looks lighter coz its a darker car then mine this could be handy, im getting alot of residue building up around the badge and carnt seem to get rid of it

atleast they are using the search function, id rather see a dig then a new thread

Yeah, lower it :surprise: the rims look alright, im not realy a fan because like internationals and sig there are all being over done, not much originalty to it, but then again it is hard to be original with a commo these days. go have a look at mine, ve calais s2, they looks sorta like...

they get pretty annoying when people have them on when there isnt a cloud in the sky. i only have em on on dark overcast days or when the sun starts going down and headlights do **** all. yesterday i pulled into a booze bus and forgot to turn em off, copa didn't say a thing about having...
