ive been doing some more reading, narrowed it down to the c drives or the potenza 001's, both the same type of tyre, Rhin0o8, why you say stick to the 205's? the 215's will look a bit better and offer a bit more of a contact with the road

yeah i think the repco was about 9 bucks, but it does 2 tanks per bottle, so its only 4.50 a tank

Hi all, I am due for a new set of tyres on 15's and a wondering what you guys are running/recommending, currently i have yokohama A Drive 205/65 R15's on, I have decided that I am going to go to 215/60R15, but am wondering what people are using. I know this isnt a great tyre size for...

i have found i am getting better fuel economy running bp91 and 1/2 a bottle of repco injector cleaner every tank, been doing some trials over the last few months, for a month i ran bp ultimate, was getting around 580 purely around town, started a month ago using 91 and injector cleaner and im...

That it is, sure my vt can do 6.8per 100 on a highway cruise and about 12.5per 100 around town, but my mum's new 3.0L (4 cylinder) CRD Patrol will do about 10 around town, now really, whats a bigger car and whats got a smaller motor!

YouTube - Hitler reacts to Chev badges on Commodores May have already been up, but i just got it.....very funny and true!

it means that if you reach the limit of the alternator (standard is 80amp) for pumping out to ancillaries you will not have to run down your battery....just a thought... i know a lot of 4wder's who run a larger alternator because they run a lot of extras and it just saves you having a battery...

jake mate, the car is coming along nicely....maybe we should head out for a cruise and actually meet each other considering we live less than a k from each other!!!

if your planning on a stereo that large and requiring an optima calcium cell battery, maybe getting a 100amp alternator is a good idea as well, just means that your not always relying on your battery so much.

LPGAS1 are one of the best, we have had a system from them installed in my mum's car and have never had an issue, i know its a long way but there is a really good LPG mechanic in Lilydale (Crossmember Automotive Repair) Use to be based in the workshop behind LPGAS1 in Lilydale and did all their...

LOL 500watt PSU, i would never use one, for how much a quality modular 650watt PSU costs, spend the extra, end up with a much more stable current, therefore a better life expectancy out of your parts in relation to the quality of the power. A generic PSU at 550watt will not be the same as an...

Hi Guys, I've been going through the complete service history of my car, and noticed that none of the shock absorbers or springs have ever been replaced in the 13 years its has been on the road, i had a roadworthy done only a few months ago and nothing was said about the suspension having any...

i know i have a VT and its not completely the same, but i now have nolathane bushes in every bushing in my car apart from the shockie bushes and the thing handles like a dream in comparison to the standard rubber ones..

i get what you mean DLF, but not a lot of kids have the understand of what can happen, some of us have been lucky enough to have an interest in cars and have grown up driving larger more powerful cars. all my mates started off learning in small 1.8-2.0 4 cylinders, i let one of them drive my car...

build yourself a budget multimedia PC, wont have any issues playing files because all it is is a computer plugged into your TV. if you need a hand send me a PM.

has your son had any experience driving a large rear wheel drive car? i just ask because if your son has never driven a commodore it may not be a great idea giving him something with so much power. This car sounds good, i would be trying to ask them to do it $4000 with the roadworthy, the car...

hey mate, very nice looking car, clean simple, yet still awesome! Those 19's were an absolute steal at $300, to think that a set of rims that cheap can also look that great is even better!!! just wishing that we could drive V8's on P's over in Vic after looking at your car. Just an idea...

when you do it VX Appeal, just chuck a how to up afterwards, i dont need it, but it cant hurt for when others need it...i can imagine all you will need is a soldering iron and basic soldering skills...then find a place to mount them if they dont fit where the originals go....

either firmware as nathanVS said or just give a DVD cleaning disc a shot, i know it wont play the commercial standard DVD's but something like that cant hurt, we had all sorts of issues with our pioneer, turned out to be a dirty laser, i now run the cleaner through every few months, cost...

at least you would have greenies on side...it still is a prius after all!!

my car came with the twin tone horn, they sound really good, all you will have to do is buy the twin horn packs from repco or supercheap and find the second mount, they are on either side of the front bumper bar, it will just be a plug and play exercise, way easier that trying to and rewire in...

i do agree, just get a VZ, it could be possible to get 400hp out of one, you would need way more dollars than sense though!

maybe i will take a look around, there must be heaps of people who change to alloy's and leave their old rims behind. cheers guys.

i thought the police packs came with the 7's too! until i found out it was from VT2 onwards...guess what i have...a series 1! i was just wondering how well 225's would go, oh well, ill just stick with the 205's or 215's, its just that they look way tougher with the 225's on them!

Hi Guys, Im looking for some new tyres for my VT, currently it has 205/65R15's on it and im wondering about putting some 225/60R15's on it, just wondering how they will go on a set of 6inch inteceptors. cheers Matt

oh, i thought they were, they look like it!! if ever you get it on the freeway...let me know!!

getting the door cable wasnt a problem, when it runs back to the loom through the rubber expander and after that is where i lost it! after that all the extra cables made it rather hard to find the one i wanted because they are all the same colour! i will attempt another install, but maybe also...

how bad is that exhaust on the freeway?? ive been thinking of getting mine done in a 2.5 when the original finally dies, but i dont want it to drony on the freeway as i travel on it quite often. great looking car btw mate, loving the HID's!

the fact that all the wiring that was put in to operate these functions has been left, and stupidly it has been done in the same colour as the speaker cabling!! therefore meaning that i could not tell the difference between which was the speaker cable and which was the extras cables...hence why...

it was an unmarked mica ambulance that my uncle had when he worked at the department of justice...i did indicate that it was a 9C1.....well done jebadayah, gald to see someone reads and understands the original post!! :P

im just being rather lazy, i didnt want to have to go all the way back to the head unit and re cable everything from there.....ill put it this way it just wasnt as easy as i was expecting! i really have no idea why i found it so insanely hard, your right its not that hard, but it just completely...

i couldnt find the actual speaker wires that run to the pretend crossover, the ones used for the sirens and lights were the same greens as what the speaker cables were, i tried, my dad tried and all my other mates are on hols, and i want them in

from some of the reviews ive read and from what a mate who works at lang lang said the wagons are actually the best handling due to the fact that the body has 8 main structural points to the chassis, the sedan really only has 6 and the ute only has 4. the wagon will actually respond quicker in...

Hi guys, after dealing with the crappy genuine speakers and having my drivers door speaker start popping i decided it was time to install the polk audio dB 6501's that i have, just to make it clear, i am not a novice with electronics, i have been pulling devices apart and fixing them since i...

it may also being a jammed thermostat, i had a similar issue and it was heating the water up in the block so much that it would open the thermo to late and all the water would hit the overflow tank and just evaporate, therefore leaving me with no water in my radiator and a temp of 130...

Langas, what did you do to make the MDF speaker mounts, just take the originals and make them in mdf??? not a bad idea. Maybe i need to get some more dynamat, me thinks i may only have enough to do the outside of my doors, dont really want to waste 400buck speakers without doing the job...

thanks for the replies guys, i thought it was on the inside mainly, thats going to be a bitch of a job to get it in there!! unfortunately it is going to have to wait over a fortnight as i have work and chrissie stuff...bugger

Hi guys, i have just purchased some new front spilts and also some dynamat. i am just wondering where to put the dynamat, do i put it inside the door, or just where the original plastic stuff that sticks on the door is. thanks Matt

cheers mate, looks like thats where it will be going cause the crossovers ive got are rather large too!

Hi guys, i've just gone out and got myself some of these Polk Audio - db Series - Mobile / Marie Speakers and i am just wondering where you have mounted your crossovers, i am not to keen on mounting them within the doors as i dont want them to have the living **** beaten out of them...
